Location: Guemes Island, San Juan Islands, Washington State, USA (5 Minute Ferry Ride from Anacortes, Washington)

Accommodations:  House, 1 Bedroom + Loft, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)

This secluded home sits on 5 acres of forested land, with a west facing view of the San Juan Islands and the Olympic Mountains. The home was built in 2007 by Guemes Island contractor Matt Simons and was designed by Seattle architect Ariel Kemp.

The home is a hikers' paradise. A 20 minute hike up the hill brings you to the top of "Mount Guemes" which has a 270 degree panoramic view of the San Juan Islands and looks directly at the 11,000 foot tall Mount Baker. A 20 minute hike down the hill brings you to Square Harbor, one of the most secluded and pristine coves on Guemes Island.

The home has one bedroom nestled into the woods, a spacious and private loft, and a comfortable fold-down couch near the wood stove. A large deck and raised balcony provide plenty of space to watch the sun set over the islands, water, and mountains.

  Coleen ,
  • This is my new favorite get-away destination! Much easier to access than the San Juan islands, this Guemes island home is uniquely beautiful with a welcoming spirit. I feel immediately at peace when I enter and a weekend stay feels like a refreshing vacation. It has access to the beach and a 360 mountain-top view. But the view from the home is the best. Lying on the couch next to the fire watching the sun set into the Sound is pure bliss - and why I keep coming back!

  • My wife and I stayed here as escape last year. What a fantastic place! Beautiful, secluded location with great views, huge deck, eagles soaring past - everything you could want in a place to get away from it all. The icing on the cake is the house itself - fantastic architecture, and wonderful little details - from the up-cycled door to the heated floor in the bathroom (luxury!) and the custom fireplace. Did I mention the view?
