Light-filled cottage in garden oasis. ❤️ of island

Little Red Cottage is a masterfully designed tiny home ideally located in the heart of the island, minutes from shops, restaurants & the beach. Prepare breakfast in a sunlit kitchen & dine at the window bar overlooking peaceful, lush gardens. Re-energize yourself after exploring the island by taking a nap on the window seat or bask in the sun on the private deck with a good book & a cup of coffee. Cook out on the grill as the sun sets, finishing the night under the stars next to a roaring fire.
The space
We wanted to keep the environment in mind when creating the Little Red Cottage so we have used repurposed building materials and furniture throughout the cottage as well as installing a top-of-the-line Swedish composting toilet. Though just 400 sq. ft, the spacious feel will wow you: it has a well-equipped kitchen with coffee (from our local roasterie) and tea provided so that you can enjoy a lovely cup at home. There is also a refrigerator, freezer, stove-top and microwave enabling you to prepare some meals in. In case you would like to dine out we have provided a list of restaurants and coffee shops for you to experience here on the island. Warm yourself by the gas fireplace as you watch your favorite shows on the smart tv, or let your writing juices be inspired at the antique writing desk looking over the beauty and serenity of the garden. Also we have provided a high quality mattress, fine linens and your choice of pillows hoping that you can come and rest well while you stay with us. We hope you enjoy our yard while you sit at your cafe table and chairs out on the private deck or by enjoying the hammock in the orchard.
Guest access
Our guests are free to enjoy our yard as much or as little as they would like.

Cute and Efficient Cottage
The Little Red Cottage is a very cute tiny. It is well-equipped and nicely decorated with bright colors. We were there in the winter so we didn't get to see the trees and flowers in bloom, but the yard was well-cared-for and would certainly be beautiful Spring through Fall. I loved the selection of reading material that was available in the cottage. It was clear that the cottage is a project the hosts are committed to. There were many touches of their love of hospitality throughout the home.

Cheerful clean house
Tiny bright clean house had everything we needed. Bed was very comfortable. Beautiful property and friendly dog. Night-wakers should be aware that the bedroom is upstairs and bathroom downstairs.

Charming Cottage on Vashon
This was such a charming little cottage on Vashon. It has both function and charm. The cottage has everything you might need from a very comfy bed to a coffee and creamer in the fridge. I look forward to staying there again when I need a retreat from the business of life.

Bright and cozy!
Absolutely lovely tiny house! The place is small, but it doesn't feel cramped at all. It's bright and airy with everything I needed. The bed is comfortable, and I loved the window reading nook upstairs. The house is a short drive (<5min) from the town center so restaurants and groceries are close by. I was a little apprehensive about the composting toilet because I'd never used one before, but it's fine and I didn't give it another thought. Maya (the resident pooch) is an absolute gem! I was going through a difficult time when I stayed here and she was the ray of light that I needed. If you see a yellow blur hurtling towards you from the other side of the yard, do not be alarmed. Maya is assertive in her love and you're about to get snuggled. Have a belly rub or two ready to go and you'll get along great.

What a great way to get away!
The tiny home is very well-built and cozy. The property is beautiful, even in the dead of winter and Maya the dog is SUPER FRIENDLY! What a great stay! The cottage is well-thought-out and gives you a nice feel for living like a minimalist for a few days. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cute backyard house in miniature
This was a cute, clean, and mostly comfortable place to stay for our night on the island. Would definitely recommend for short stays or as just a "home base" for being out and about on adventures most of the time. However, there are a few less-than-desirable features that weren't totally obvious to us from the listing. First, the bathroom has a "composting toilet," which is a bit smelly and complicated to use relative to a standard flushing toilet. Something of which to be aware. Second, everything is in miniature - the shower is tiny, the kitchen stove is tiny, etc. It's all very cute and again perfectly serviceable for short stays, but you might find it lacking if your plan is to have a guest over for a big meal or something. Finally, the cottage is located right in the backyard and eyeline of the hosts, so you're not going to get an optimal sense of privacy. There are curtains and blinds that can be drawn at night, but if your hope was to sit out on the stoop, you'll be standing in their yard (probably in the company of their very sweet yellow lab). Again, not a deal-breaker for us and the kind of trip we were having, but something to keep in mind. All in all, though, again, this is a cozy and well-kept little spot. We enjoyed our one-night stay, but might look for a place with a flushing toilet if we visit the island again for longer.
