Did you know that Washington has a tiny town so far removed from the rest of the state you need an up-to-date passport to visit? Point Roberts is technically Evergreen State territory, but it requires crossing the Canadian border to reach it. As you can imagine, that led to some struggles when the border was closed. But Point Roberts is finally accessible again, and the community can always use our support.

If you’re looking to truly get away from it all, we’ve discovered the perfect little cottage for a romantic weekend or a solo escape. And the best part is, you’ll feel like you’ve traveled internationally, but you’ll still make it home for work on Monday with no jet lag.

The Gingerbread Cottage is a cozy 500-square-foot hideaway located in a private wooded setting in Point Roberts.
