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 The cabin is quite outdated.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.

Great little getaway for my wife and I to celebrate our 10. year anniversary. Grant was just the right mixture of available to help us get settled and absent for our privacy. Thank you, Grant!

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!

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.

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.

We had a great time at the property, it was peaceful retreat, despite the rain. But it added to the charm. Nice fireplace and a very awesome hot tub too!

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.

We visited Lummi for the first time to celebrate our anniversary and stayed at Grant’s charming and unique house. We appreciated his thoughtful introduction and enjoyed the tour. The small details all over the property were of particular delight to us, and provided inspiration for our own homestead. I loved all the seating nooks both in and out of the house. (We also met a friendly local dog while enjoying the trails out back!) The outdoor shower and hot tub were fantastic! We look forward to coming back for a longer stay.

This location was perfect for a relaxing weekend. Sitting on the porch or the hot tub and enjoying the view of the water was so worth the trip. This place is charming and unique and Grant was a great host who was ready to help in anyway.

A fantastically private cabin with an amazing natural hot tub all with supreme privacy.
The cabin is rustic and could use a deep cleaning, but it's clear it's been cared for over the years and well-loved. If you can appreciate the charm of a cabin in the woods and the seclusion it offers this place is for you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2nd stay at Grant's house on Lummi!! The peace and quiet of the neighborhood is so serene that it feels like we've gotten a month's break from our everyday routine in just 3 days. We biked and hiked, grilled and soaked in the hot tub. Dinner at The Beach Store Cafe is always delicious as well. Our poodles felt as much as home as we did on the property and got a brief visit from a local dog friend! Grant is a pleasure to work with and genuinely cares that we have a pleasant stay every time!

We had a great time at this cabin. My wife, and two adult kids. The location had a wonderful deck with a nice view. The cabin was setup as a lived in space, not just a rental. The host was very gracious and helped with making us feel at home. Thanks

Grant is a wonderful host--helpful, informative, available but not intrusive. The cabin is as pictured--rustic, comfortable in a tranquil setting. So pleasant to hear nothing but birds! The only issues for us were the steep road and weird driveway. We were looking for a stress-free getaway and, other than the driveway, we got just what we were looking for. Thanks, Grant!.

My husband and I loved staying here. A beautiful view from the kitchen, deck and living room. Unique touches all throughout the house. Well stocked kitchen. Would definitely come back!

Alas, our visit was cut short. We had planned for a two-day getaway with another couple, but illness made them bow out. Instead, we stayed only one night.
We found the cabin to be a delightful retreat. It is on a forested hill. Neighbors are out of view and the only audible sounds were from the birds in the trees. We could see water and the Cascades through the trees. It is a great place to go to disconnect, read, write, or just enjoy being away from the traffic and crowds of Seattle.
The cabin was by no means "fancy," but it had everything needed. It was very clean. The kitchen was ready for a real cook. The respite was short, but appreciated.
Due to our short stay, we did not make dinner at the cabin, but instead went to the Beach Store Cafe. It was the only dining choice on the island, but it was outstanding. Again, not fancy, but a great place to go for a locally produced beer and an expertly prepared meal. Fresh made pizzas, burgers and salads anchor the menu, but we took advantage of the fish and chips option and the house special, which was a pasta dish with local garden-fresh vegetables. Perfect!
The host was kind and accommodating. Though I did not expect or ask for it, we got a partial refund for our shortened stay.

Fun, funky, quirky, unique! You will never forget your stay here! The cabin is a real labor of love--a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Grant is a very hospitable host. The deck is a lovely place to hang out, with a sweet view, a fire table, and a hot tub. My husband and I vegged out here and enjoyed every minute of it.

This property bursts with personal character and attention from a kind and attentive owner. No IKEA stuffed business only lifeless rentals here. This is someone's house and reflects years of personal touches and things. It was perfect for the 9-5 escape I was looking for.
5.0
My partner and I wanted to have quick getaway and this sure did fit the bill. Excellent island to explore with so many vantage points and easy to navigate. The fireplace was a comforting source of heat and the beds were comfy!
The kitchen has a lot of the basics for cooking, but the island store has VERY limited offerings so make sure to stock up on the mainland.
As noted in the listing this isn't for you if you tend to have tv nights.
There is a wonderful looking hottub that unfortunately we never found a chance to use, but that's on us.
100% recommend.

My husband and I really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. We brought our 2 dogs who loved roaming the property and smelling new smells. It was nice that it was fully fenced so we didn’t have to worry. The house is just wonderful! It’s one of a kind. We loved the wood burning stove and sitting in front of it in the rockers. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you may need. We loved the hot tub! The barrel style is so cool and unique! Grant is a wonderful host and he made sure we knew how to use everything and also checked in. It was nice to know someone was available if we had any issues. We can not wait to come back again!

If you need a break from life’s bustle, then I highly recommend Grant’s cabin! It’s so quiet and has wonderful views! The wooden hot tub at sunrise and sunset was our favorite activity. We loved walking around the neighborhood every morning and evening too. Lots of deer around! Grant was very kind to give us an intro to everything when we arrived, and he was a fast responder in text for anything else!

We enjoyed our stay in this unique cabin. Plenty of room and the hot tub was just the right temperature. The bed was comfy and Grant was very easy to work with. We had some trouble with the heat upstairs and he came right over to help us figure it out.

First off let me just say I have never had to give a negative review. We booked 2 nights and stayed 1. Grant is friendly enough but his description is deceptive. Talks about a hot tub but doesn’t get hot. We stood right next to it while he was giving the tour and I told him right then and there it wasn’t hot enough but did nothing about it. The fenced in backyard is not very pet friendly. No grass and no playing as we drank our coffee. The gas heater in the description leads you to believe you can actually use it, that’s not the case, I asked Grant to show me how to use it and his reply was the wood stove would supply enough heat. Which it did not and we fed the fire through out the night. If you want cleanliness this is not for you. Grant was showing us certain little things (which btw I have never been greeted by a host) the electric percolator was dirty and he blamed it on his cleaner, we found out later this wasn’t the truth. He told us after we left that his house cleaner was sick so he had to clean it. We felt we were duped. Grant gave us a partial refund for the 2nd night, I didn’t know I was being charged a hot tub fee. It was a disappointment to say the least.
