Summary: I try to keep my expectations low for places I stay, but no need to for Belle Baldwin House. We were completely delighted with everything -- the house, the setting, all the thoughtfulness that went into furnishing the kitchen and bath. And a Christmas tree!!! I couldn't have imagined it any more beautiful or peaceful or perfect in every way.

Summary: My husband and I came for a weekend getaway to explore Vashon. We were absolutely delighted by everything about this house: the historic nature, the amazing location, the water view featuring birds, otters, and the changing weather. The cozy fireplace, comfy bed, and luxurious clawfoot tub took our stay to the next level. We loved it all!

Summary: It is always a delight to visit Fern Cove where we raised our family and began the appreciation of the area with Vashon Parks, Vashon Landtrust, King County and Washington legislature. Now it includes all of the Island Parks and the Singlemill Watershed.

Summary: The Belle Baldwin home on Fern Cove is a gem! We usually go to Pt Robinson and decided to try this home instead- I’m so glad we did! The home itself is beautifully restored and the view are incredible. We appreciated the boots for low tide exploring. The beach is sandy and nice for a picnic. Sunsets are gorgeous. And the bird watching is superb. Comfy beds and cozy chairs were perfect for relaxing. The fireplace makes a great spot to warm up after a chilly morning outside. Overall, we loved the home. Thanks for sharing it with us all!
