Purple Cottage Studio

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Langley, WA

The *Purple Cottage* -- was found & salvaged (recycled!)-- moved onto the back of my property in 2012. This 16 X 12' place has been my studio in the past, but has offered overflow for friends & family. Nestled in the woods and ever-so-private, the cottage has a pull-out double futon, plus a small sleeping loft and can accommodate 1 -2 nicely (we will consider 3 if you have a small child, but it would be a tight fit!... There is a very small sleeping loft in the cottage.). The cottage offers privacy in a wooded garden setting. The bathhouse, with hot shower, vanity and; toilet --all steps away (and covered) from the main cabin. The Purple Cottage sits on a shy wooded acre, with greenbelt buffers all around, maximizing the sense of privacy. We have a vintage Shasta Trailer across the driveway of the Purple Cottage, which is currently used as a music studio (and rarely as family/guest overflow), and I have my own small Artist Studio located also on the back of the property. Still, with all the little enclave of buildings, the Purple Cottage Studio retains a private feel all to itself. It is located in a quiet little neighborhood, about 6 miles from Langley & 6 miles from Freeland.. Private beach access is across the road and a 15 minute walk up the street, where you can beach comb & explore the shoreline out at our little point. We are located 6 miles from the picturesque town of Langley and equal distance from Freeland, on the south end of Whidbey. Our area is very *bike-able* and either direction will get you to town! The Purple Cottage offers a rustic retreat in a place that feels far away, but is an hour & a half from the bustling city of Seattle! There is reliable wifi available (especially now that the cottage has it's own line! Okay . Beach access is a short walk away.

Olympic National Park

Port Angeles, Washington

Camping near Warm Beach with wildlife watching guide

Overview

Situated on Port Susan on Washington's northern coast and just outside of Stanwood, Warm Beach is a small community with a tiny sand beach and a grocery store. It's home to Lake Martha, one of the deepest lakes in Snohomish County and a good spot for fishing and swimming. The lake also has a public launch (for non-gas-powered boats). The smaller Lake Howard is just south of Lake Martha and also allows non-gas-powered boats and fishing, while Kayak Point Regional County Park—just south of town—offers camping, disc golf, and fishing.

Where to go

Whidbey Island

Situated between the Olympic Peninsula and I-5, this large island is a popular getaway for urban Washingtonians, particularly in summer. Popular activities on the island include hiking, cycling, clamming, crabbing, fishing, kayaking, and of course, camping.

The Tulalip Reservation

Just south of Warm Beach, the Tulalip Reservation offers a mix of beaches and woods, with a few campgrounds for good measure. It's also home to a few of the region's smaller, off-the-beaten path lakes, including Weallup Lake and John Sam Lake.

The Olympic Peninsula

This pretty stretch of forested land is home to cute coastal towns and mile upon mile of lush forest. Don’t miss the Hoh Rainforest, inside the Olympic National Forest.

When to go

The best time to camp in and around Warm Beach is from June through September, when there's a relatively low chance of rain (by Pacific Northwest standards) and warm weather. July and August are pleasant, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s, but these are also the most crowded months, as kids are out of school in the area. If you’re in town for the holidays, the Warm Beach Camp & Conference Center hosts an annual drive-through lights display.
