Since you are in a cabin in the woods and on an island, the only noises at night are the hoot of an owl or the wind in the trees.

Hike the woods on a nearby trail close by to the top of the island mountain at 1,200 ft, with incredible views of all the islands The antique character of this rustic getaway includes 150-year-old reclaimed tin ceilings and 100-year-old wood flooring.

Quaint stay with incredible views

The home is largely just as described. It gives the feeling of being in a tree house at tree top height with the sounds of the many birds, a cozy wood stove that is very efficient, and some spectacular views of Baker and the foothills from the deck. Host was responsive.

Wonderful cabin

Absolutely fantastic place. The home is very well thought out and is so charming and cozy. I can’t say enough good things about Grant or his property. I am a little hesitant to talk it up too much only because I want it to be available next time I have vacation time. Thanks!

Cozy and Funky

The house that Grant built is super cozy and has lots of funky details. The hot tub is relaxing and the wood stove is very efficient and does a great job of heating the main floor and upper bedroom. Grant provides a lot of important details in his listing, so be sure to read it carefully. We enjoyed our weekend on Lummi Island!

Beautiful and Unique Island Getaway

The cabin looks just like the pictures, a labor of love by Grant. He was very friendly, accommodating and had good suggestions. We enjoyed our alone time together to celebrate my husband’s birthday for the weekend. It was secluded, the view from the master bedroom is amazing in the morning and the fireplace in the living room gets nice and warm (lots of firewood available thanks to Grant). It was a beautiful and unique experience that we will treasure!

Spacious and on the rustic side

The property was a nice getaway, great views, enclosed hottub with windows, and host was very friendly and communicative. Couldn't use upstairs bathtub (needs a super cleaning), so used shower downstairs (also needs a deeper cleaning). Another down side is there were no firepit, or gas firepit to use, and the grill is a charcoal grill. Great place, had a nice time, played board game, walked a few beaches and relaxed.

Cozy Getaway

This was a wonderful place to escape the loudness/busy pace of life. Cozy, quiet, simple are words I’d definitely use to describe this place. The wooden hot-tub was a huge hit and definitely unique with a gorgeous view of Bellingham Bay. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked with any utensil you might need. The wood stove added a sense of extra cozy as well. Our dog had space to roam outside as necessary with the added sense of security with a gated backyard. The host was so friendly and accommodating when we arrived. He showed us around the house and answered any questions we had. We’d definitely recommend this place to friends and family looking to find some peace and quiet.

Soak it up: Cozy island retreat

Our New Year’s stay at this romantic cabin was absolutely perfect! Nestled in the trees with a gorgeous water view, the cabin felt like a nostalgic getaway—like the cozy family cabin or your best friend's retreat in the woods. The wood fire in the potbelly stove kept us warm and added a charming, rustic touch, and the bed was comfortable with flannel sheets and a down comforter.I especially loved soaking in the enclosed wooden hot tub, which felt private and serene, even in the cold. We also ventured to Sunset Beach to walk our dog, Houston, and I found some beautiful shells and even an agate. The island’s peaceful nature and lack of city noise made it easy to relax.Grant, the owner, was phenomenal—he went above and beyond by mailing us clothes we accidentally left behind. This cabin is truly a special place for couples who want to disconnect and enjoy each other’s company in a quiet, natural setting. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend :)

Quaint, Rustic, and Relaxing escape

Beautiful views and very relaxing atmosphere in the woods. Loved the enclosed hot tub and the owner had great communication/instructions and gives good advice such as bringing groceries with you as the store on the island is more like a 7/11 than a grocery store. Be sure to check out the beach behind the church, nice long beach front and great for rock hounding.

Perfect weekend get away in nature

The cabin is wonderful - the fireplace is lovely; the bed and bedding are super comfortable; the kitchen has everything you need with a wonderful view; and the enclosed wooden hot tub is truly divine. Grant is a great host. He makes sure everything is clean and meets you at the property to make sure you know where everything is. If you like low key, and rustic and just want to relax in nature I highly recommend this place.

The property was EXACTLY as Grant (the host) described it and Grant was EXACTLY as prior guests described him. He is a kind and generous host, and we loved our stay.

Amazing Weekend In the woods

What a cute cabin! This place has so much character and has the most cozy vibe. Grant is an amazing host, he is personable, timely and we had some great conversations. He gave us a tour and run down of the cabin, how to use the adorable wood burning stove. We are big outdoorsy people so a little rain in the woods never deters us. We love Lummi island, it is always such a peaceful getaway. We will definitely be back to Grant’s place! He is the sweetest host!
