Heron Rook Cottage by AvantStay | Panoramic View

Introducing Heron Rook Cottage, your cozy haven on Whidbey Island. Nestled near Langley, this art-filled retreat offers a unique getaway for groups seeking serenity and charm.

Step outside to enjoy the patios, BBQ, and surrounding gardens. Gaze upon pocket water views from the main floor, while the upper level unveils a breathtaking 180 panorama of Saratoga Passage.

Indoors, the heart of the home is a great gourmet kitchen, perfect for culinary adventures (please note there is no dishwasher). The living room is adorned with custom art and artifacts from world travels. It’s like staying in a gallery.

In the primary bedroom, enjoy a 180-degree view of Saratoga Passage through expansive picture windows. The second bedroom's treehouse-like aura makes it one of the coziest places in the home. Each bedroom is on a different side of the house, ensuring everyone has plenty of privacy.

Offering a unique design, this cottage has stairways to the bedrooms, and one must go down the stairs to the bathroom, just like the old house of yesteryear. The stairs to the loft bedroom are like attic stairs—because they are! They are non-conforming, so please take a look at the photos to make sure that your guests are able to make their way up and down.

Conveniently close yet blissfully private, Heron Rook Cottage stands a mere 0.7 miles from Langley. A 2-acre retreat adorned with cedar sentinels offers seclusion, while keeping you close to the best of Whidbey Island. Bicycling enthusiasts rejoice—varied routes await all levels of riders. Discover the bliss of Goss Lake's cool waters while enjoying beach walks and trails.

Heron Rook Cottage: Where art, nature, and memories converge. Your Whidbey Island tale begins here.

Discover the allure of Whidbey Island, where tranquility meets captivating landscapes.

A beautiful house in a beautiful and peaceful setting, and we enjoyed our stay overall. The only downside is how cold it is, even with all the heaters running full blast (late October), so if you stay in the colder months be sure to pack your woolies!

Short stay
Lovely property. Well decorated very clean and convenient. Second bedroom was somewhat misleading. Fortunately there were just the two of us in one bedroom. The property is not designed for older people with lots of steps and slippery carpets. The directions were excellent extremely thorough and easy to understand. It was a lovely place, thank you.

Wonderful hosts, beautiful house
Heron Rock Cottage is gorgeous. It is immaculately curated set of art, books, and nice touches like a beautiful set of unique mugs. It really feels like you are in an art museum after hours so you can explore everything freely. The bed is very comfortable and there are cozy blankets available. Whidbey had lots of fun art, tasty food and drinks, and very friendly and welcoming people. In addition, the hosts were very flexible with our booking and bent over backwards to make sure we could have a nice stay. Thank you!

Relaxing Retreat
We had a wonderful stay. It's a relatively small home, but it had everything we needed and we loved all of the artwork. We watched the eagles fly by and had deer come to visit. It's just a short walk into the town of Langley but feels like your away from everything.

Great home and location
Excellent hosts and the house is amazing. It was very comfortable! Loved the gas fireplace and the kitchen. Winter was amazing with the snow, but the outdoor spaces would be wonderful in the summer as well.

Comfortable and Cozy Cottage
This is a very comfortable and private cottage located on a lovely property close to downtown Langley. The property management company is excellent with their communication and is available and responsive. The only bathroom is downstairs and this was advertised in the listing. This only was an inconvenience because my husband has Parkinson’s, for most people this should not be an issue. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the patio and also appreciated the quiet and peaceful property. We had a lovely stay and highly recommend this property

Heron Rook Cottage
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, albeit too short. Charming and cozy cottage with so many interesting artifacts and beautiful artwork. Lovely backyard gardens/deck. Cottage has everything you need from a well-equipped kitchen; comfortable bed; washer/dryer, along with strong and consistent Wi-Fi to support working remote. I could not have asked for a better "office with a view". Located in a quiet, secure neighborhood and close to Langley for restaurants and groceries.

Quiet artists’ cottage overlooking the water
Everything about this property was stunning: decorated with dozens of fascinating works of art, set among majestic trees and lush gardens, and overlooking peaceful Saratoga Passage and Camano Island, the cottage was a wonderful, restful place to refresh the spirit.

Awesome little cabin on the bay!
Small little cabin but still accommodates 4 pretty well. This cabin is right on the bay so very nice to here the waves all night and see the seals poke their heads out! Would recommend and would stay again.
