Lummi Island is a special place - time seems to slow down when you cross from the mainland on the Whatcom Chief. Expect relaxation and rejuvenation. The North End of the island has a loop road that is open to vistas of the mainland, the Salish Sea, and the islands beyond. You can travel the loop by foot, bike or by car - take your time and enjoy every turn. There are a number of preserves on the island which offer short nature hikes, or a hike up the side of the mountain to reach a vista point that has amazing views to the south of the San Juan Islands - a must do! Lummi Island boasts the Beach Store Cafe, usually open Wednesday through Sunday, the Willows Inn which you must reserve in advance, and the Islander Store which is the hub of the island, a general store with a collection of artists items next door and the Saturday market from Memorial Day through Labor Day. There are also farm and flower stands around the island and you can usually buy fresh eggs along the roadside. Lummi Island is home to a variety of artists who are happy to open their studios, mostly by appointment. Check out our island guide prior to your arrival. **Our ferry, the Whatcom Chief will be at dry dock from May 18th to June 15th, 2024. Dry dock is a special time of year for Islanders and guests alike. During dry dock the Whatcom Chief (our vehicle ferry) is taken out of service for maintenance and repairs. Whatcom County supplies a passenger only ferry while the Whatcom Chief is away. Typically there is a parking area on the mainland side and a regularly scheduled passenger shuttle on the island. Many Islanders leave one car on each side during this time though many of them use the shuttle, walk or get rides from willing Islanders. With far fewer cars traveling the island, there is more quiet and tranquility. The passenger only ferry gets us out of our cars on Gooseberry Point to enjoy the fresh air and scenery as we wait for the ferry. Once aboard the ferry we are able to sit on top and truly enjoy the short trip across Hale Passage. It is indeed a special time on the island. While we believe dry dock can be a wonderful time to truly get away from it all, we understand that these circumstances may not be for everyone. A trip on the Whatcom Chief Ferry is required to get to the Lummi Stugan. The ferry is operated by Whatcom County, and runs minimally every hour between 6.40am and midnight. Round trip fare is $14 for the vehicle and driver and $8 per passenger or for walk-ons. Fare is collected during the run to the island by the purser who will come to your vehicle to collect - credit or debit card only, no cash is accepted. Walk, bike or drive to the Lummi Stugan from the ferry dock and 'downtown' Lummi Island. We are approximately 3.5 miles from this area of the island. 'Downtown Lummi Island' consists of The Islander - general store, coffee and pastries, wine, beer and alcohol. Also attached is Sisters Gallery which highlights Island Crafters and Artisans. The Island Library has books and movies, of course but also an island history section. The Island Post Office is a full service post office with limited hours, and the Beach Store Cafe has great pizza and specials every weekend. There are few services on the island so we suggest picking up groceries in Bellingham or Ferndale prior to coming out to the island. If you prefer to have your groceries or something special in the house upon your arrival. Guests may order concierge service as a separate amenity from this booking by going to PNW Concierge on the web. Other services and amenities are available as well, including during stay housekeeping, and a personal chef service!
