My sister and I arrived in Seattle as a homebase to venture forth to meet the wolves in Anacortes and discover a little bit about the awe-inspiring area of Mt. Rainier. April and Mike's cottage was so much a part of our amazing experience of Washington: peaceful, warm and welcoming, beautifully decorated, luxurious beds, fun well-stocked kitchen, colorful and tranquil private garden, and a livingroom we could pass the day in browsing through the ecletic collection of books. We also loved how clean and eco-friendly the cottage is. Our arrival and departure times were a bit off schedule, but check in and check out were seamless beginning with a heartfelt welcome from April, accompanied by bread, farm eggs, homemade jam, and coffee.
