Story by Ryan
Folk Inspired Cottage in Skagit Valley
Adventure in Bow, North Cascades, WA, US
As soon as you pull into The Kinlands property, there is a certifiable romantic ambience that feels like a scene ripped straight from The Notebook. There is a rustic barn with an arch that frames and gives way to a pumpkin patch and garden where you are free to forage for fruits, vegetables and fresh herbs. There is a wooden rope swing under an ancient Oak tree that is rung by apple and pear trees in a private orchard-like setting. At the center of this inimitable 40-acres farmland is the perfect cedar-shingled cottage of your dreams. Thoughtfully curated and intentionally adorned with treasures in every nook and cranny, The Kinlands Cottage is a true mid-century masterpiece with enough history and stories to fill an entire time capsule. With days spent exploring the lush Skagit Valley and evenings in a hot bath with a book and a nip of local pumpkin whiskey, there truly is no better way to relax and rejuvenate than a stay at the timeless Kindlands Cottage....

Bread. Farm. If those two words alone aren't enough to entice an immediate visit, there's this: probably the best croissant I've ever had outside of Europe. Stunningly good. If pastries aren't your thing, there is a rotating list of freshly baked breads, house made granolas and other items that looked incredible as well....
