About this property
The Woodpecker Cabin on Guemes Island with Hot Tub!
This adorable Guemes Island cabin offers 960 square feet of bright, open living with an easygoing island vibe. The open floor plan is filled with natural light, warm wood accents, and tall ceilings that create a sunny, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you step inside.
The cabin comfortably sleeps four. The primary loft features a cozy memory-foam queen bed, while the second loft offers a firmer full-size (double) spring mattress with a foam topper. The sofa can also accommodate an additional guest, and a cot with padding and bedding is available upon request for extra flexibility.
The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for easy island meals, including a breakfast bar, large toaster oven (big enough for two 15” pizzas), microwave, two-burner cooktop, refrigerator and freezer, coffee maker, French press, and all necessary cookware, dishes, utensils, glasses, and mugs.
The bathroom offers a simple, comfortable shower stocked with basic essentials, and the cabin is maintained using environmentally friendly cleaning products throughout. Well-behaved pets are welcome for an additional $100 cleaning fee, so your furry companion can join in on the adventure.
Step outside to enjoy the private, fully fenced yard featuring a deck, outdoor dining table, barbecue, and a hot tub tucked into the backyard — perfect for relaxing under the stars. The fire ring, located up the hill in the yard, is ideal for winding down after a day of island exploring. (Please bring your own firewood, or let us know in advance if you’d like us to arrange a bundle.)
A ceiling fan and heat pump keep the cabin comfortable year-round. High-speed wireless internet is provided, though island service can be slightly slower than city speeds and may occasionally dip briefly. For cozy evenings indoors, the Smart TV is ready for streaming your favorite shows. One small tip: the floors are mostly tile, so house slippers are a great idea if you have tender or cold feet.
Simple, comfortable, and full of island charm, this cabin makes it easy to settle in and truly enjoy your time on Guemes.

Great place! As olds, we had a bit of a hard time with the stairs, but the cottage was immaculate. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds super comfy, the location quiet and peaceful. Perfect getaway from the city.
As advertised. Nice quite and really enjoyed the hot tub. Would stay here again for sure. Only problem was the wonderful welcome book came apart and I could not re thread the pages on the plastic spine. Very nice stay.

Wonderful Pet Freindly Rental Home
Extemely clean. Thoughtfully furnished - everything needed was at hand. It was very cozy and comfortable. The fenced backyard was great for our Scottish Terrier.
We look forward to visiting again.
This was our first time to Guemes Island. We were pleasantly surprised. Enjoyed the house it was very cozy. Had all the amenities we needed minus a fully functional stove top. Luckily we didn’t need 2 large burners but if we had it would have been frustrating to cook on that stove.
It was very relaxing and beautiful out on Guemes Island. Its juat a sweet little island. There is one store which is also a restaurant and bar, but the ferry ride is only like 5 mins to get to the mainland. The people were socnice out on the islabd as well. We did have an issue the frist day with the key but the owners were fast to get back to us and were so amazing. I would definitely stay out here again. 5 out of 5 stars for sure
This cabin is a lovely retreat from the hustle and bustle of city living. The small kitchen is wonderfully appointed and the shower had great pressure with water quickly coming to the desired temperature. The sleeping nooks upstairs are adorable and comfy. Thank you to the hosts for cultivating such a comfortable and nurturing space!
Oh, and a nearby neighbor is a massage therapist! She set up a table right in the living room, so I didn’t have to go anywhere. I had plans to investigate the island, but found myself with everything I needed and more right on the property.
The cabin was exceptionally clean and quite adorable. We enjoyed the privacy and the tranquility offered by such a gentle atmosphere. The island was wonderful and we enjoyed exploring the beaches and the mountain.
The home is lovely, with beautiful wood, tile work, and art. The amenities provided were great, and the yard perfect for our dogs. However, this is not a good choice for folks 70 in age! My husband couldn’t use a bed because of the steep and narrow stairs, and I stepped CAREFULLY to get upstairs. Great place, just not for seniors!
The property was well maintained. Registration was completed easily for a last minute reservation. Our two small dogs enjoyed the outdoors in the fenced backyard. The beds were comfortable. One full, one queen, one futon. One shower, toilet and sink. The hot tub was very relaxing. Everything was well organized with easy to understand instructions. Had an enjoyable stay!
We stayed on Guemes Island as part of a longer Island trip, and this cabin was a very comfortable getaway to relax as well as base camp for some exploration. We spent two nights and poked around the island and Anacortes while we were there. The scenery was lovely! The house itself was very clean, had all the necessities, and was in a peaceful setting with a cute backyard. We enjoyed making s’mores in the fire pit and reading on the porch.
