Guesthouse in Langley

Private Purple Cottage with hot tub in magical setting! Sweet, sylvan & small, this cottage is 200’sq, with adjacent private bath house adds another 75’ sq all tucked away in a private wooded setting! Beach access is about a 10minute 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! The space Come play on Whidbey at the Purple Cottage! The Holidays are upon us ! Maybe Whidbey Island & The Purple Cottage is the escape you need! Looking for a quiet & private place to cozy up and get away from it all for the weekend? This is your place! Bucolic, beach & hot tub! Come have a getaway surrounded by peace & nature! We have created a new, expanded deck and have set up a NEW hot tub area. We look forward to accommodating you ! The *Purple Cottage* -- was found & salvaged (recycled!)-- moved onto the back of my property. 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.). A French Press, double electric stovetop, microwave, & small fridge make up a "kitchenette" area. Cooking meals remains a little limited in the small area ...no five star gourmet meal preps here, I'm afraid! But cooking basic, simple meals for 2+ is doable. There is a small gas barbecue out in the deck area, along with the private hot tub, which is a great feature. There is a private community beach access about a 15 minute walk away. We have a water cooler in the cottage that holds 2 gallons of water at a time --water is readily available on the property and in the adjacent bath house (including, of course, HOT Water!). Utensils, plates, some coffee/tea for your first few days (if you are staying weekly or longer, you will need to replenish), sheets & towels are provided. A sweet deck & side yard has a gas BBQ, sitting/dining area, fire bowl/pit & Hot Tub, for your outdoor grilling, eating & soaking pleasures. An outdoor *Kitchen* is located in back of the cottage --all covered, but still rustic ...with cold running water, a stainless steel prep sink and 2 burner Colman camp stove. You are welcome to use it to expand your cooking / dishwashing possibilities. The cottage offers privacy in a 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. The bathhouse offers hot showers, vanity & toilet & is steps away (and covered) from the main cabin! We are so proud & happy to have this project finished: A real labor of love...And about 75% of materials used in this project were repurposed / salvaged / recycled items. 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 at the cottage. ** We really hope that folks wanting to book at our Purple Cottage read through all the details of this property, because we really want happy campers & chill guests! Just remember that this is not a "prissy" place --this is a little cabin on the edge of the woods...with adjacent bathroom & outdoor kitchen area. It's fun & a little funky...Real, working artists live on the property, which is always a "work in progress" and offers a bit of eclectic & unusual architecture, decoration, & landscaping . If you want a high-end accommodation, this is NOT the place for you.... BUT, If you love nature and glamping, you’ll no doubt enjoy this property’s “vibe”! Guest access Hot tub use on the deck off the Purple Cottage, private Beach access is a short walk away. There is an outdoor picnic area with a fire bowl/pit. There is a covered *outdoor* sink / kitchen area with cold water only out in back of my little Expresso Stand Studio (the Studio itself is a private space, please). If you would prefer to wash your dishes there (way more roomy than the bath house sink), you are welcome to. We suggest bringing hot water from the bath house, washing your dishes and rinsing them in the sink with the cold water. The rinse water (gray water) flows off to the side into the forest. The stainless steel sink has plenty of room for a dish drying rack. This way, you can keep the bath house free for — well, bathroom needs! We also have bins set up for recycling: one for cans / aluminum, one for glass. There is also a compost bin for your compost (fruit, veggie peelings, coffee grinds, egg shells, shellfish —but please NO MEAT SCRAPS OR BONES!) There is a Colman 2 burner propane cook stove in the outdoor kitchen set up for *deluxe* cooking! Other things to note PLEASE READ: We have created a new, expanded deck and are have a NEW hot tub & patio area. We look forward to accommodating you in 2026! We recommend that if you come, you come with the willingness experience our unique, bucolic property. Bring your necessities for your stay & plan on enjoying our surrounds. We have a hot tub, a quiet, uncrowded private beach access a short walk away and wooded privacy. There is a two night minimum, with a THREE night minimum starting through Labor Day Weekend & all holiday weekends! ***We have a THREE night minimum stay at the Purple Cottage during the busy high season, especially Summer /Holiday Weekends..
