*PLEASE NOTE* ***This years’ annual dry dock has been announced and it will be APRIL 26th-MAY11th. This means we will have a pedestrian only ferry during this time. Our cottage is a short walk to the ferry so you’re welcome to park on the mainland and walk across, but it inhibits your ability to drive on for your stay. ***This charming, historic, and beautifully appointed beachfront house features two bedrooms (one room with an attached bath has a Queen bed and another room with a single bed) and sleeps three. The cottage is stocked with everything you will need for an easy getaway. Enjoy the large deck overlooking the breathtaking views of Mt. Baker and the Sisters, watch the ferry, the Whatcom Chief, sail back and forth, take a soak in the deep tub, read by the fireplace, put your kayak in the water, and adventure, or go for a bike ride or hike. You will find yourself within walking distance of the local Beach Store Cafe (just across the street but please check the website to see hours of operation as they are limited), and the local grocery store. Conveniently located only a five-minute walk to the ferry and on the picturesque 7-mile loop which is great for walking and bike riding. Despite the proximity to Vancouver BC and Seattle, Lummi Island feels like it is a 'world away'. The Beach House was built in 1933 and has a long history on Lummi Island, and at one time served as the local library. With a complete Sunset Magazine-worthy remodel couldn't be sweeter.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay. The view is fantastic. I could sit and look out the window all day long, as the scenery is always changing. Mt. Baker and the Sisters came out beautifully on our last day. The sunrise is spectacular, and it is somehow comforting (I don't know why) to see the reliable Whatcom Chief crossing back and forth. The only slight snag was when the fireplace pilot went out due to a very windy few hours. I texted the host and she got back to me immediately with instructions for lighting the pilot, and it was up and running right away. She even dashed over with an extra space heater. The house is absolutely charming, it has everything you need, and we would definitely stay there again.
This is the perfect little getaway when you want peace, quiet and nature. Lovely view of Mount Baker. Close to the ferry, store, and cafe. Highly recommend.
This is a wonderful spot for watching the sunrise, sea birds, and the fabulous Whatcom Chief ferry. The rocky shore is just steps away and there are many fine island adventures to be had nearby when you can pry yourself away from the view.
This was our second stay at this historic property, the former library on secluded Lummi Island. When its clear you'll look out the picture window in the living room and see a perfectly framed view of Mt Baker in the distance. When it's cloudy you'll still enjoy inspiring views of the water (Hale Passage), the birds, the trees on the Lummi Reservation, and the little ferry that chugs back and forth daily, serving the island. With only one small grocery store, you'll want to plan ahead for your meals. The fabulous Beach Cafe offers epicurean delights (really!) but is only open Friday and Saturday afternoon/evening.
We loved the location right on the water with beautiful views of Mt Baker. The house was very comfortable with everything we needed. Great location which allowed us to bike ride and kayak. Enjoyed wine tasting with the locals and the charm of the island and just sitting out on the deck! Communication was fast and easy with the owners and they were happy to accommodate us- We will be back again!
The beach house was perfect for a wonderful sisters time together, needing self-care and a place to rest. The house was equipped, clean with excellent view. We enjoyed the back deck and the gorgeous living room window with perfect picture views of Mount Baker. and Salish sea. The ferry ride over was quick and easy as well as coming back.
The house was very comfortable and had the water views we were looking for. We loved the ferry crossing back and forth. It’s a quite community and the locals are friendly. We enjoyed wandering the beach at low tide.

Cozy, beautiful home with amazing views
Great spot! Clean, cozy, great location, would absolutely stay again
My husband and I stayed for our 25th anniversary. The house was exactly what we expected and more. The view from the deck was amazing which is why we spent the majority of our time there. Highly recommend, if you are looking for peace and quiet.
We really enjoyed our stay on Lummi Island. Will definitely be back again in the warmer months with a kayak and some more time :)
