About the host
Hosted by Clay & Nancy Campbell
We are a family who enjoys the outdoors and the natural beauty of Samish Island, including boating, biking, hiking and skiing the surrounding areas. 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.
Why they chose this property
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!
What makes this property unique
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. The interior furnishings and decor are completely new with many thoughtful amenities for guests to enjoy be they artists, birders, outdoor enthusiasts, or enthusiastic nappers.
