About this property

I'm Your Huckleberry...or...Guemes Island Cabin with stunning views

Climb the stairs to your Guemes Island perch with commanding views of Huckleberry Island, Mt. Baker and the Cascade foothills, visible on clear days. NOTE: exterior staircase is the only access to the living space and a ferry is required to get to Guemes Island.
Recently renovated with an emphasis on sustainability, an efficient one bedroom, one bathroom cabin, with a sectional couch that converts to a full sized lounger. The perfect escape for a couple, a family of four with small children, or a group of three adults.
Open concept living with a well planned layout, featuring a wall of windows and new East facing view deck. A fabulous fit for those who like to greet the day early and enjoy stunning sunrises, walks, hikes, or morning yoga followed by breakfast in the custom crafted booth.
The Huckleberry Cabin is within 2 miles (beautiful bike ride or leisurely walk) from the gorgeous Guemes Mountain trail and several scenic shorter walks can be explored around the neighborhood. The living space is above a garage that is currently owner use only, but may be available to longer term guests under certain circumstances.
Please note that if you are bringing your dog, we require proof of current flea & tic medication, as well as up to date status on all required vaccinations. See more details in the house rules.
Gather inspiration whether you're taking a vacation, working remotely or on a creative retreat to finish that book, song, or painting.
When it's time for sleep, dream away on the non-toxic, green mattress from Brentwood Homes. The cozy bedroom features a vaulted ceiling and full closet.
Pad around on the LVP flooring by Gaia, chosen for its commitment to environmentally friendly materials and high health and safety standards.
The futon couch in the living room converts to a full sized bed where you can fall asleep while gazing into the night sky.
Get away from it all and enjoy the benefits that living close to nature can bring.
The kitchen has an apartment sized oven and under counter fridge.
Guests booking longer stays can make arrangements to access a full sized fridge and laundry in the garage, which is currently owner use only.
As part of our commitment to sustainability we're offering an option to guests who choose to bring their own sheets and towels, as it reduces the impact of laundering what are often lightly used linens. We know this doesn't work for everyone, due to travel/transportation constraints, but let us know if you are interested and able to take part in this option.

Beautiful place to stay

Absolutely loved my stay here. I was looking for a nice place to escape from everything and this was perfect! Beautiful views of the deck, and on the beach, and even driving to the house. Super clean and simply, yet perfectly decorated. Stocked with anything you could need. Very responsive and helpful hosts, and clear directions listed. I would strongly recommend visiting this beautiful, quaint island and staying at the Huckleberry!

A slice of heaven

We spent a long weekend in this lovely Guemes cabin and what a delight, can't wait to go back! Let me just start by saying it was so cozy and clean, with lovely little touches like a welcome basket of snacks. The view is incredible and waking up each morning and enjoying a cup of coffee on the comfy couch while admiring the water and mountains was amazing. The kitchen was well-appointed with lovely details and care. Bed was comfy and loved having chargers on the bedside. Everything felt very thought out and intentional!

Loved our weekend getaway to Huckleberry Cabin

We had a fantastic trip to Huckleberry Cabin. The place is immaculate - by far the cleanest vrbo we have ever stayed at. Gorgeous view and very comfortable. They even left us a train set for our 2.5 year old which was a huge hit. Spent the mornings canoeing and the evenings enjoying food and even live music at the General Store. Highly recommend staying here for a nice relaxing getaway. Houses on the street were a little closer than we were expecting but very quiet.

Just beautiful!

First of all the view is a stunning from the living area window (even caught sight of a rainbow). The entire place was immaculate. I love all the little touches, a towel and treats for our dog, coffee and coffee grinder, water pitcher with filter in the fridge, a telescope…I could go on and on. We loved our weekend in Guemes Island and met several of the friendly residents. Great food at the general store too!

Wonderful Getaway

We were looking for a place where we could relax and this place was perfect. Stargazing was phenomenal. Deer walking through the backyard on a daily basis. Great view of Mount Baker. Kitchen and unit was well equipped and spacious. Bed was very comfortable: my wife and I both slept very well. In addition my wife’s resting heart rate dropped 4 beats during the stay! Highly recommend staying here!

Quiet and peaceful

My husband and I were looking for a place to unwind and relax, and this did not disappoint!! First of all, the island itself is quiet. No big parties or anything like that. Then, the view from the cabin is so fantastic it would put anyone's mind at ease! Bonus, the cabin has been so well done - stocked with all the things you need for a perfect, quiet, rejuvenating, and dare I say -romantic, getaway!!

Fantastic place for a quiet weekend getaway

Everything about this home was perfect for my family of 3. We wanted a quiet place to get away and just enjoy being us and this home fit that description. The home was very clean, property manager was very quick to respond to questions and extremely pleasant to work with. This is a place that my family would go back to again and again. I would highly recommend renting this home.

Clean and Beautiful

The house was sparkling clean and the view was beautiful. The location was incredible and hosts left detailed instructions throughout the home and in the listing. The hosts left a lovely welcome basket and set out a box of fun, age-appropriate kids toys. They also provided baby-proofing supplies (if needed). We enjoyed our stay on Guemes and would book this listing again.

Huckleberry Island view/ Guemes Island Cabin

This property has large east facing windows with a gorgeous view on a clear day of Huckleberry Island and Mt. Baker across the bay. It is a quiet getaway, or, in our case, it served as overflow housing for the Thanksgiving holiday for our oldest son, his wife and their two pups. It was “cozy and comfortable”. I appreciated Darcy and Brian’s clear expectations and responsiveness to all questions, with back and forth communications between us. Thanks for working with us! It was a pleasure!

About the host

Hosted by Darcy and Bryan

Host profile image
We have been enjoying Guemes Island since the 1970's. We would spend summer's at Charlie's Fishing Resort on the north end of the Island (now Guemes Island Resort). Three generations and counting of our family have relaxed on Guemes. With the travel restrictions of CoVid keeping more of us closer to home, we thought we'd open up our little slice of paradise to share with you!

Why they chose this property

The Huckleberry Cabin is located on the picturesque Hideaway Lane and offers gorgeous east facing views of Huckleberry Island, the bay, Mt. Baker and the Cascade foothills. We would like to share our little piece of peace with you. We also have a family cabin two doors down, that is available on a more limited basis. Contact us about joint family stays if you would like a quiet, calm escape together, with some space apart.
This is an ideal setting to slow down, unplug from your device, break old habits and start new ones. Come here to refresh yourself and enjoy all that Guemes has to offer. From the stunning public beaches to the top of Guemes Mountain, views and serenity await.
As part of our commitment to sustainability we're offering a refund to guests who choose to bring their own sheets and towels, as it reduces the impact of laundering what are often lightly used linens. We know this doesn't work for everyone, due to travel/transportation constraints, but let us know if you are interested and able to take part in this option.

What makes this property unique

Guemes Island is a fantastic place to enjoy the beautiful outdoors in this special corner of the San Juan Islands. Bring your kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, etc. There are public beaches with boat launches, and lots of scenic roads to enjoy.
Birdwatchers can scope out local owls, bald eagles, cormorants and more. Deer are also plentiful on the island and you can regularly watch them eat dinner behind the cabin. You may hear coyotes howling at the moon and fall asleep to blinking lights over the water and the sound of ships passing in the night.
The Guemes Island Store, just up the hill from the ferry dock, makes excellent food. They frequently host live music events, outdoors in the summer, with a gorgeous water view backdrop behind the stage. They offer basic grocery supplies but it's advisable to bring your own food from the mainland for the bulk of your meals because supplies can fluctuate.
