Cute decor, central location
The old farmhouse had sweet decor and lots of space. Comfortable beds and nice linens, well-appointed kitchen. Smelled strongly of cat throughout, even though there were signs that said no cats, ever. If it wasn’t cat smell, it is still an unpleasant odor that needs to be dealt with. Would not stay again because of it.

Rustic farmhouse close to town
It’s an old farmhouse so there is certainly some charm if you are into that. Could use some updates. Fridge looked old but not in a good way. Toaster didn’t work and the oven fan just vented into a cupboard above it. We did love sitting on the porch and how close we were to town. And the visit from the 3-legged dog.

Island Farmhouse Patch of Peace
The gardens, willow tree and classic white farmhouse gave us sych a peaceful feeling. Although the road is busy the house is quiet and relaxing. We had everything we needed! Loved dinner in town at the Hardware Store Restaurant..beautiful wood features and great food. The town grocery store was the best store we have ever shopped in! Great produce!

Fun, fair, farm stay
The property is a relic! Must have a lot history behind it. It was cozy, clean and quiet. We enjoyed playing the many board game options available and watching all the birds that live in the field next door! Way close to everything too..

Bike Trip
We are 6 friends on a bike trip and stayed for 1 night. The house is cute, but management is poor. Front door had not been programed, bedrooms were locked, lack of towels. The house is advertised as having 2 bathrooms, and a hot tub, but there is only 1 bathroom and no hot tub. Vashon is a sweet town but not many places to stay.

Family Christmas Dinner
Lisa’s property had a big dining room table which was perfect. Our kids live on the island but in studios. We had to celebrate a day later. Both grandchildren were able to come in the morning, have our Christmas morning and drive home. Only thing to be aware of is the bathrooms are all downsrairs

Nice short stay
The house was isolated and a little small for 2 couples, but very comfortable. We had to call the owner to get the code to unlock the second bedroom. No functioning coffee pot we could figure out so we went out for breakfast. Great garden with birds and a cat.

Know before you go
My Mom and I stayed one night for a nearby wedding. We had no problem finding the home or getting inside. However as soon as we entered I was as struck by the smell. It wasn’t the general “empty house” smell, nor was it the typical smell of an old house. Upstairs the smell was worse and to me, it smelled like cat pee and plug-in air fresheners. The 2nd floor has carpet so I’m guessing that’s why the smell was stronger. I can be sensitive to smells, but my mom isn’t and she was bothered too. For me, it was so bad i tried to sleep with my shirt over my nose. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again.

The odor of cat urine permeated the house
I booked the property a year in advance because Vashon Island fills up fast. There were some snafus booking because it was a new listing but Lisa and I worked it out over the course of a day or two so it wasn’t a big deal. When we arrived at the house we noticed a strong odor of cat pee as we unlocked the upstairs bedrooms. It was a very hot weekend and we opened the windows at night to cool it off but the odor was still horrible. I looked on VRBO to see if there were any other availability’s on the island but there were none and we were quite busy with a family wedding. I called Lisa once I returned home. She said there was a cat hanging around that may have got in but she knew nothing about the odor. I’m certain that whoever prepared the house with flowers for us must have smelled it. And I don’t understand how the cat could have got into the locked bedrooms if it had just snuck in. Lisa said I should have called if there was an issue and I would have if it was something that could be remedied. Our time was at a premium so we just endured. She said she would go to the property and get back to me but I haven’t heard back from her. We were very disappointed with our stay.

Lovely Farmhouse
Everything related to our stay at the farmhouse went smoothly! The house is ever so charming- we loved every minute of it. The outdoor space, with a grill and propane fire pit, just added to our fun! Thanks Lisa for being so accommodating !

Farmhouse Inspiration!
My writing group very much enjoyed the Cottonwood Farmhouse! It was a no stress visit that freed our energy. There were multiple spaces that encouraged some reflective writing, and a nice larger living room/dining space for us to gather as a group. Lisa was a good communicator and very responsive, although from the confirmation onward we were set and ready to go, as was the space. No glitches! The natural setting was not far from the main town which was convenient. All in all, we loved our stay!
