Enjoy the healing energy of island life.PLEASE NOTE FOR 2024: Annual Dry Dock is May 18th - June 15thEvery year our ferry, the Whatcom Chief, goes into dry dock for maintenance at a shipyard. Since there is no substitute vehicle ferry, this means foot passenger service only (you can bring a bike across). There is a shuttle service provided on the island. This is a wonderful time for biking and walking with the vehicle traffic being very low during this time. For passenger boat schedule and more details, please go on-line to Whatcom County Annual Dry Dock.The house is entirely yours! Our home is great for couples, but also very family friendly.

We also have a Pack ‘n Play (with sheets) and a high chair for little ones. We have a large deck with water view which includes a gas grill!
