About this property

Newly Listed! Cozy Historic Cottage near town!

Newly Listed! This quiet and cozy historic cabin, close to town, is the perfect respite for relaxation. Enjoy bird watching while sitting next to Argyle Lagoon. (SCC)

Step out of the hustle and bustle, and step back in time to true island living. Sawmill Creek Cottage is comfortable and private, but still only one mile from downtown Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. The cottage has Wi-Fi and a Smart TV for those who are so inclined.

The cabin is nestled in its own private yard just feet away from a small bay, with a stream and pond as a boundary. The shared low bank beach on Jackson’s lagoon is a small saltwater bay where you can see blue herons, kingfishers, eagles, the occasional deer or fox, and watch the moon rise bigger than life over the bay at dusk. The tidal water fluctuates, and this property has a partial water view.

The queen bedroom is cozy and comfortable, and the full bathroom is just off of the bedroom. NOTE: if a guest is sleeping on the couch, they will have to walk through the bedroom to access the bathroom.

The secluded yard offers a patio table and barbeque for the summer months. Blackberries are ripe for the picking in early autumn. In the quiet winter months, create a second honeymoon or holiday turkey memories in the snug warm cottage.

Visit Sawmill Creek Cottage and find yourself “on island time”.

1 bed and 1 pullout sofa; 1 bathroom. Sleeps 2 comfortably but can accommodate 4.

Beautiful Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had a beautiful week stay at the Sawmill Creek Cottage! The cherry blossom tree outside the cottage was in bloom and made for a picturesque retreat. I love how close the cottage is to town and to a great beach park! Would highly recommend. It's very clean, comfortable bed and even has a great little fire pit out back :)

Lovely Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is my favorite place to stay in Friday Harbor! I travel to Friday Harbor for work frequently and this little cottage have everything to make my work trips feel like home. The bed is extremely comfortable. The location is perfect (you can walk to the beach or town in 20 minutes or drive in 3-4 minutes!). The house itself is very cozy and there is often wildlife outside in the yard such as deer or the occasional cat. The little kitchen has everything you need to cook your own meals but there are also plenty of delicious restaurants in town. The cottage is always impeccably clean and well maintained. I cannot say enough good things about this little home away from home.

Wonderful cottage!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I absolutely love this spot. I travel out to Friday Harbor for work and it really feels like my home away home. It has everything you need! It’s within walking distance of town(30min) and walking distance to a wonderful beach/park(15min). The bed is very comfortable. The shower has great pressure and plenty of hot water. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and every appliance works well. The natural beauty of the property is wonderful and I have often seen deer in the front yard near the water. The beach in front of the cottage is only accessible at low tide but the view is nice and again, there’s a magnificent huge beach just a 15 min walk or 2 min drive. It’s the perfect spot for a solo traveler or a couple. There is even a pullout bed so maybe even 3 would be comfy! Overall, absolutely love this place and will be back soon!
