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.Sweet & small ...(Think *Tiny House*) The main cottage is 200sq foot..and the NEW adjacent private bath house with shower, flush toilet, and vanity adds another 75 sq feet...all tucked away in a magical, private wooded setting!  Side deck offers a hot tub in a natural, wooded setting.  There are pathways & "contemplative points" throughout the property, in a natural garden setting.  Depending on the season, there are fresh herbs growing on the property for incorporating into your culinary creations.  Beach access is about a 15 minute walk away. The Purple Cottage is a little like "glamping"...... with an adjacent *Outdoor Kitchen* for your use (although you can also cook small meals in the cottage), hot tub, woods, beach a short walk away.... It's a little bit of bliss & heaven all on a shy acre, but is abutted by wooded greenbelts so it feels like so much more!  We have resident eagles, owls, deer, pileated woodpecker,  and more...!  Down at the beach: seals and if you are fortunate enough, orcas & gray whales.  It feels far away, but is only a 1  and 1/2 hour drive from downtown Seattle!

The Purple Cottage is perfect for us. A great place to come back to after a day kayaking around Holmes Harbor seeing orcas, seals and porpoises. Chilled a bit from our outing, the hot tub hit the spot. Night in the town of Langley with great meals and views of the salish sea. Sarah is a gracious host and extremely accommodating.

Cozy Stay in the Purple Cottage!
Our stay was lovely and everything we were looking for in a weekend getaway. If you’re looking for a cozy cottage with camping essentials I highly recommend the Purple Cottage. The outdoor kitchen and grill were everything we needed to prepare meals, and the shower / bathroom were great! (Steps away from the cottage and the shower has great water pressure/temp!) Sarah and Russell were great hosts, easy going and made us feel very welcome. They have a real gem there on Whidbey!

My girlfriend and I had a great time at the Purple Cottage Studio! It's a great home base for exploring all that Langley has to offer. Sarah, Russell, and their cute up Rio are all very friendly. Beaches all around (Saratoga beach in walking distance) and lots to do. The hot tub is really nice way to end the day.

A wonderful stay at a woodsy oasis!
A magical, sylvan oasis away from the city. The rustic cabin was marvelous, set back from the road and surrounded by a splendid variety of birdlife, squirrels and deer. I took advantage of the fire pit but did not cook at all, other than to boil water, so I can't speak for the kitchen facilities, but the set up looked very convenient. The hot tub is a gem. A pretty easy 15 minute walk or so to the private Saratoga Beach. Superb place to launch a kayak or to go for a swim (the water was really mild!). And a relatively quick drive to Langley for dinner and shopping. Sarah is a marvelous host who is very attentive and helpful, and her dog is very supportive. I've had other family members who stayed here; they commended the place to me. I definitely plan to return.

We had a great stay at the Purple Cottage! Sarah was there to greet us and give a short tour, then we had the place to ourselves. It was a really peaceful and private unit- we loved the hot tub, the surrounding forest and the quirky cottage decor :)
