Area information: Lummi Island is the easiest of the San Juan islands to get to, just a ten minute ferry ride leaving 17 miles NW of Bellingham takes your car yet a world away from the hustle and noise of the mainland. A very quiet setting where the only sounds are the birds and the wind in the trees.

Skies are without city light pollution. Lummi Island is a true island surrounded by water, with sunrise views of snow-capped Mt. Baker (10,781 feet) from the bedroom .
Very little car traffic, watch for the deer on the roads Things to do on the island Lummi island is nature lover's delight, a quiet and peaceful place to reconnect with nature, and your partner. Not a busy tourist area , only a small grocery store and restaurant open part time There are NO OTHER restaurants this site has out of date restaurant information So bring your grocery and supplies with you from mainland
Things to do (1) Hiking trail Inati bay easy former road trail goes into old forest ravine and has views from the cliffs great short dog walk half mile from cabin
(2)The Otto Nature preserve has a nice trail in to old forest great to walk your dog when you first arrive at the island about a mile hike very easy flat trail
(3)There is a hiking trail Mt Baker preserve to the top of the island with an incredible view facing west to all the San Juan islands and the surrounding Salish sea.
(4) Frank's beach is an afternoon sun beach on the west side of the island, and is a good place to view sunsets over Vancouver island. Bring your dog for a walk: Franks' beach is off-leash. You can also walk your dog off-leash in the woods close to the cabin
DISCLAIMER This very unique wooden cabin is NOT suitable for everyone !
This natural wood themed cabin is NOT your modern white painted drywall with fake wood flooring and fake fireplace with gas which you find in new mass produced housing rented out by corporate ownership . This cabin was made in another era with natural materials locally sourced ! Making an experience in getting away before the age of internet when people read books by the fire with a cup of warm brew and taking in the quietness You do NOT use your phone to turn on the so called smart appliances or codes to open the door you feed the wood fire , Gas oven controls manually ceiling fans manually
This cabin recommended for artsy nature lovers that easily handle >keeping a fire going and can appreciate nature instead of being glued to a TV VERY DOG FRIENDLY go for a hike !
Property recommended for persons who want to spend quality couple time together being in a private natural setting forming lifetime memories
.Not recommended for uptight high maintenance types that cannot deal with a cabin in the woods that might have small spidesr or dust from using firewood .Definitely not for those easily bored away from city distractions

Lovely Cabin in the Sky
Grant’s Lummi Island cabin was the perfect setting for some much needed rest and relaxation. The spacious deck provided a perfect backdrop for meals, lounging in the sun and afternoon naps. The hot tub was a favorite, as was his well stocked kitchen. Grant was a gracious host, always available to answer any questions or offer suggestions. I will definitely return to his place.

Lummi Island weekend
Our stay in Grant’s island hillside cabin was wonderful! What a treasure this spot is. The cabin and grounds are charming and beautiful. I love that this is a unique place with a welcoming Home feel- no stark white/gray boring cookie cutter feels here! Uppity folk probably not well suited(you know who you are lol) Lots of stairs inside and out (as listed) so make sure that is accessible for everyone in your party. Grant is kind and very helpful, our check in was great with tidbits info we could make use of during our stay. The wood stove is gorgeous and easy to use with plentiful wood provided. Our elderly dachshund loved that part the most. The cedar hot tub is glorious. The kitchen is very well stocked with spices, utensils and cookware. Views all over and the Quiet was really enjoyed. This was a memorable trip for our little fam. Thanks Grant!

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!

Review
this property is in a quaint town, very private. The cabin is quite outdated. Old cushions and blankets/decor. The stairs going upstairs are steep and narrow, but manageable. The outside could use some landscaping and leveling out. The host was great and personable. I didn’t hate the stay but will not rent again for the price.

Wonderful Christmas Getaway
My wife and I brought our 2 dogs out to Lummi Island for a 5 day, 4 night stay over the 2023 Christmas holiday and it was such a wonderful escape from the holiday madness. It was an easy ferry ride and brief trip to the cabin once on the island and Grant was there to meet us and show us all the particulars for his charming vacation home. He had a fire roaring in the wood burning stove and the place was quite cozy upon arrival. The highlight of the cabin was the cedar wood hot tub for sure, it was lovely to be able to soak and enjoy the atmosphere while being shielded from the rain outside. All amenities were as described and all members of our family were happy throughout our stay. There were a few times when Grant had to stop by the property to deal with a few things but always notified us that he was coming and was able to tend to his needs without disturbing us. Highly recommend this rustic style getaway on this charming little island!

Hidden paradise.
This place was exactly what I needed. It’s off the beaten path, super quiet and the views are spectacular. The fire place was awesome. Very little wood needed to warm the entire house, some times it was a little too warm but we figured out the perfect amount to keep it cozy. We just spent the couple days we were there playing games and cards while listening to classical music and relaxing, while also unplugging from the world around. It was the best experience I have ever had in using someone’s home for a vacation. Grant was awesome and very responsive when the hot tub wasn’t working properly. Found out there was an electrical issue or something keeping the pump from running, but it didn’t make or break the trip. It was a mighty I wasn’t upset about losing out on. Over all it is definitely worth checking out this place! It be weary as it is very woodsy and quite “off grid” and it is most definitely not for everyone. However it is right in my wheel house!!! Will definitely be making another trip up that way to Grant!!!!! Thank you for making our mini vacation so awesome.

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!

Charming Cabin
My wife and I, along with our dog, spent four nights in this charming cabin. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the owner who guided us into the driveway, which is a bit tricky the first time, and helped carry our bags into the house. He then gave us a brief but necessary tutorial on several aspects of the cabin and then he left. The cabin itself is quirky and fun with lots of interesting details strewn throughout. In the colder months, you can expect to dress in warm clothes when inside, even with the wood burning stove going all day and night. We really enjoyed the wood burning stove and the owner provided plenty of kindling and firewood for our entire stay. The hot tub was a treat. The water was clean and hot. We used it multiple times. Even though it was quite cold, we enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings, enjoying the quiet and starlit sky. Around the island there are several nature preserves where you can enjoy short but pleasant walks. The bed we stayed in was comfortable and plenty warm when underneath the covers. We brought our own pillows to supplement the ones provided which turned out to be a good idea for us. The kitchen has everything one might need to prepare a meal. We prepared all of our meals while we were there without any issues. On the whole, the cabin is as advertised. It actually looks better in person than in photos. There were no issues for us with insects or pests of any kind. In fact, we didn't see any at all in the five days we were there.

Rustic cabin in amazing location
This is a rustic cabin - older furnishings, typical cobwebs and dirt that come with being a rustic cabin in the mountains. The hot tub was a major selling point for us, and why we booked this location, and it did NOT disappoint. Quiet, beautiful, serene. There's a TV but we weren't tempted to turn it on even once. And our dog LOVED it! Great location with amazing view of the water, forest, and mountains in the distance. Great place to escape.
