Lovely Samish Island Garden Home for Holiday Cheer and Winter Fun!

Samish Garden House: Nature Retreat & Gateway to Adventure

The Samish Garden House offers luxury nature retreat accommodations with private gardens and spectacular Samish Bay views. This property provides an intimate setting to experience fall colors, winter fun, and spring blooms while enjoying curated garden spaces.

Step into sunlight-drenched comfort. Newly furnished and enhanced by floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings, skylights, and a modern fireplace, this private 2 bd/2.5 ba home offers refined living woven seamlessly with the natural world.

In Fall/Winter, Samish Island reaches peak fall colors with stunning natural displays against the setting of snow-capped Mt. Baker and the San Juan Islands. Enjoy beautiful hikes and viewpoints showcasing autumn colors against the Salish Sea backdrop. Stroll through autumn harvests and pumpkin patches like Gordons Skagit Farms, and experience the beauty and agricultural heritage of the Skagit Valley. One of the highlights of winter is the proximity to amazing displays of raptor nesting, snow geese and trumpeter swan migrations, among other cycles of nature in our nearby fields. Its a nature photographer's dream come true.

All seasons, enjoy convenient proximity to amazing dining at signature restaurants in local cities like La Conner, Anacortes, Bellingham, Fairhaven and our home town of Edison, and Chuckanut Drive.

Indoor‑Outdoor Flow & Garden Bliss

In Spring/Summer stroll through open lawns, lush flowers, english gardens and pathways before settling onto a comfy patio overlooking Samish Bay. Morning coffee at sunrise, evening glass of wine—your senses will awaken to eagles, blue heron and birdsong, sea breeze, and rustling leaves.

We are opening our Garden Home to others who appreciate having a warm, and inviting home base to explore this lovely area for its beauty, adventure and incredible restaurants.

We love Samish Island's easy access with no ferry, and proximity to nature's wonderland of saltwater tideflats on Samish and Padilla Bays, with the accompanying birdlife of blue herons, eagles, raptors, etc. The nearby towns of Edsion, Fairhaven, La Conner, and Anacortes offer unique experiences for arts and galleries, wine, breweries/distilleries as well as some of the best food in the Pacific Northwest!

The Garden Home is a uniquely designed Cape Cod style house with steeply pitched side gable rooflines, skylights and nooks offering abundant light in living spaces, high beamed ceilings and open floor plans. The lovely and private gardens are the highlight of the property with year round interest.
