1901 Farmhouse, Westside Mount Vernon

Welcome to our home in the Skagit River flats of WA state. Whether you are here to explore the Skagit Valley, on a work trip, or simply need a restful place on a journey, we hope to make your stay memorable. Your cozy self-contained suite is freshly finished. Just five minutes from I-5, our quiet property looks over fields and trees. Tulip and daffodils and farms are just a country mile away. Previous to moving here from across town, we hosted another suite for 2 years. (162 reviews/5 stars) Our farmhouse is situated on 2.5 acres, surrounded on almost 3 sides with a 45 acre tree nursery. Across the road, is a huge farm field, then trees, then hills. And yet, less than a mile and a half to old downtown where you will find terrific restaurants and lovely shops. Our guest space is recently renovated from a storage shed that was connected to the house. The accent wall and trim of rustic wood is pulled from the old hay bunker. A compact kitchen area provides a microwave, fridge, and a sink outside the bathroom. A small table and set of chairs at the south window is perfect for a meal (or working remotely on a laptop) looking out to the yard and garden. Opposite the table, is an electric fire and chairs to sip a cup of coffee and read a book. We keep a small eclectic set of books and games for your use. In season, there will be fresh flowers in the suite. From the garden, watch the sunrise over the hills or from the suite - or the wayback patio - watch the sunset. We're friendly introverts! Happy to chat and just as happy to let you be.We are both currently working from home and are generally available. For your security, there are manual locks on the inside of the suite, both on the interior door (to our utility room) and to the outside. Your electronic code to the exterior lock will be the last four digits of your phone number. We are available by cell 24/7 for an emergency. Please feel free to contact us anytime between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM for anything else. We live in Westside Mount Vernon, WA. This is farmland with all the quiet and quaint feeling that can bring. We are also five minutes from I-5. You can walk along the Skagit River (1.7 miles) into old downtown Mount Vernon for an espresso, shopping, and a pub meal or some of the best ethnic cuisine anywhere. We include some of our favorite places in our welcome book. I-5 and the train station is just across the river and allows for easy travel north and south. We are 10 minutes to La Conner, 15 to Anacortes (and ferry travel), and 40 to Oak Harber (and NAS Whidbey).
