Charming Vashon Island Cottage - Just 3 minutes from the ferry.

Enjoy peace and quiet at the Cottage at Useful Bear Farm. Vashon Island has lots to offer year-round: beaches, hiking, biking and bird-watching. Conveniently located near the north-end ferry and close to town where there are wonderful shops and restaurants. The cottage has full kitchen, bathroom and living/dining room on the first floor. Upstairs is a large sleeping loft with queen bed separated by a divider and a trundle bed and sleeper sofa. A portion of the proceeds from the cottage go to local housing programs.

Nice and peaceful escape from the city. We appreciated that there were fresh eggs (!) for us and not a long list of cleaning to do at checkout (no list at all!) we enjoyed this cute quiet spot immensely.

Excellent Stay

Everything about the stay was excellent. It's a great little place if you want some time on the island. Very clean, close to town and the north end ferry, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Absolutely recommend it.

Lovely property, the host was very friendly. Easy to get to and find. The plums they left out for us from their farm were the best I’ve ever had. Would stay here again and recommend to others.

Cute cabin

I stayed here this past weekend and despite the rainy weather, had an incredible time! The cabin is homey and so sweet. Debra was so helpful and kind and reached out to let me know that she was available if my friend and I needed anything. She also left us some fresh chicken eggs to use, which was a lovely touch. I would definitely recommend a friend to visit!

Great stay

Debra greeted us the first night which was nice. She responded to my notice of a leaky sprayer which they already knew about. I was very happy to find extra charger cords and plug they had provided since I forgot mine.

Nice little house!

We'd stay here again. Host was friendly and accessible. House was small (as expected), but really nice and very clean. Bright and welcoming. The only downside is that the house number sign was a little hard to see from the road, but that was easy to get used to.

So clean and well stocked. Beautiful little cabin. We were a bit worried of the bedrooms being upstairs because of the heat, but not to worry, Debra thought of that too. Fans and and AC unit were running when we arrived. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Welcoming hosts, beautiful property, best bedding.

Fresh eggs, a bouquet, and a lovely message left in the cottage by the friendly host who introduced herself after we parked. We were encouraged to enjoy the surroundings and pick some apples. We loved the down comforter/pillows and cotton sheets on the bed, and soooooo many amazing quilts to cuddle up with. The check in and check out times are so generous. We would definitely stay here again. We also heard an owl when we got back from dinner, which was really cool.
