Northbank cottage is the perfect destination for your next getaway. Located on quiet Samish Island at the end of a long private drive you will discover peace, natural beauty, exceptional views, privacy and a rich selection of local and regional activities.

Northbank Cottage is just right for lazy mornings, reading a good book, writing, sketching, painting and quality daydreaming time as you enjoy the beautiful grounds and long expansive views of Bellingham bay.

Samish Island offers great walking and bike riding with very little traffic. A ten minute walk from the cottage will bring you to a little park where you may access and walk the shoreline.

Visit nearby Blau's Oyster Farm and pick up a dozen fresh succulent Samish bay oysters perfect for grilling on the cottage's Weber grill. Add corn on the cob and a fresh salad for a favorite island meal.
