MSNBC has selected Lopez Farm Cottages

Before we had a family we would go tent camping at the most unique and peaceful location we could drive to. Our excursions were typically 2 to 4 days. After camping we would spend our last night in the best luxury accommodations we could find. We loved it!

It wasn’t always easy finding the right combination. The major drawback was finding good camping. Tent camping was typically located and treated as an afterthought. First came the RV’s, families, children, pets, electronic music and vehicle noise and headlights.

LFC&TC is what we were always looking for…peaceful but unique accommodations designed for singles and couples. No RV’s, no children, no pets (except for Cottage #4), no electronic music and minimal vehicle noise and headlight intrusion. Our goal is guest serenity. 

Lopez Island…what to expect and why

Don’t be surprised when people wave to you, it’s a long standing tradition. It is one of the reasons Lopez is known as the “friendly island”.  Because the pace is slower on Lopez the residents are typically referred to by other islanders as Slowpezians.

Of all the San Juan Islands, Lopez Island is truly the most unique.  It is like stepping back in the past with all the old farms, hay fields, sheep and cattle pastures and open views to the surrounding waters and snow capped mountains. 

Lopez Island is also recognized as the “bicycling island” because of its gentle terrain with no major hills. The annual Tour de Lopez event is held on the last weekend in April and is so popular that Washington State runs a special ferry to accommodate all the bicyclists.

Even on Lopez Island location is critical.  We are at the north end of the Island, 2.6 miles from the ferry landing, directly across from the Lopez Winery & Vineyards and less than one mile to Lopez Village where you will find excellent restaurants, the Village Market with fresh everything, Holly B’s famous Bakery, coffee shops and more.

San Juan Transit runs seasonally between Lopez Farm Cottages, the ferry, and the rest of the island. View Schedule.

New Bicycle Option. Village Cycles will drop off and pick up bicycles at the ferry landing or at Lopez Farm Cottages. Contact Michael & Heidi at www.VillageCycles.net for details.
