Rustic cabin with a beautiful view
It was quiet and beautiful. The cabin is definitely rustic, although has all the amenities you want, (wifi, dishwasher, etc.) There is a gorgeous nature preserve close by, and I took walks and did an enormous jigsaw puzzle while feeling like I was in a treehouse.

A Couple Days Away
My wife and I usually do a Fall getaway for a couple days. We often go to the Coast. But the rising costs of most VRBOs led me to search elsewhere. Grant's cabin on Lummi Island was reasonably priced. No gouging on the service fees. The place is very homey and has everything you might need. Coffee drinkers be prepared for a percolator rather than a Mr. Coffee. It is a cabin and so it is not pristinely clean. This was not a problem for us. As it was stormy we were happy to stay in, watch the trees dance outside the window and listen to the pinecones hitting the metal roof. We were quite warm enough with the wood stove on the main floor. [We've had multiple homes with wood stoves so this was familiar territory for us- but I did have to re-stock the supply of wood in the house twice over three days. The furnishings are aged, but comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and we were quite warm. We are not used to a gas range, but we figured it out and enjoyed some good meals. The hot tub was so nice, we used it twice. The hot tub enclosure is not so tidy, but it's a cabin in the woods. It didn't keep us from enjoying the tub's heat and the lovely view. All in all we had three nights and two days of snuggling in, reading, eating, hot tubbing, and enjoying Netflix and the Roku channel. All good.

Cozy and Funky
The house that Grant built is super cozy and has lots of funky details. The hot tub is relaxing and the wood stove is very efficient and does a great job of heating the main floor and upper bedroom. Grant provides a lot of important details in his listing, so be sure to read it carefully. We enjoyed our weekend on Lummi Island!

Grant's cabin is very cozy and is a wonderful place to relax. I could spend a lot more time reading next to the wood stove and soaking in the hot tub. Grant was a great host too. He had excellent communication and kept the cabin well stocked. I will certainly be back!

Lovely Cabin in the Sky
Grant’s Lummi Island cabin was the perfect setting for some much needed rest and relaxation. The spacious deck provided a perfect backdrop for meals, lounging in the sun and afternoon naps. The hot tub was a favorite, as was his well stocked kitchen. Grant was a gracious host, always available to answer any questions or offer suggestions. I will definitely return to his place.

Lummi Island weekend
Our stay in Grant’s island hillside cabin was wonderful! What a treasure this spot is. The cabin and grounds are charming and beautiful. I love that this is a unique place with a welcoming Home feel- no stark white/gray boring cookie cutter feels here! Uppity folk probably not well suited(you know who you are lol) Lots of stairs inside and out (as listed) so make sure that is accessible for everyone in your party. Grant is kind and very helpful, our check in was great with tidbits info we could make use of during our stay. The wood stove is gorgeous and easy to use with plentiful wood provided. Our elderly dachshund loved that part the most. The cedar hot tub is glorious. The kitchen is very well stocked with spices, utensils and cookware. Views all over and the Quiet was really enjoyed. This was a memorable trip for our little fam. Thanks Grant!

this property is in a quaint town, very private. The cabin is quite outdated. Old cushions and blankets/decor. The stairs going upstairs are steep and narrow, but manageable. The outside could use some landscaping and leveling out. The host was great and personable. I didn’t hate the stay but will not rent again for the price.

Wonderful Christmas Getaway
My wife and I brought our 2 dogs out to Lummi Island for a 5 day, 4 night stay over the 2023 Christmas holiday and it was such a wonderful escape from the holiday madness. It was an easy ferry ride and brief trip to the cabin once on the island and Grant was there to meet us and show us all the particulars for his charming vacation home. He had a fire roaring in the wood burning stove and the place was quite cozy upon arrival. The highlight of the cabin was the cedar wood hot tub for sure, it was lovely to be able to soak and enjoy the atmosphere while being shielded from the rain outside. All amenities were as described and all members of our family were happy throughout our stay. There were a few times when Grant had to stop by the property to deal with a few things but always notified us that he was coming and was able to tend to his needs without disturbing us. Highly recommend this rustic style getaway on this charming little island!

Hidden paradise.
This place was exactly what I needed. It’s off the beaten path, super quiet and the views are spectacular. The fire place was awesome. Very little wood needed to warm the entire house, some times it was a little too warm but we figured out the perfect amount to keep it cozy. We just spent the couple days we were there playing games and cards while listening to classical music and relaxing, while also unplugging from the world around. It was the best experience I have ever had in using someone’s home for a vacation. Grant was awesome and very responsive when the hot tub wasn’t working properly. Found out there was an electrical issue or something keeping the pump from running, but it didn’t make or break the trip. It was a mighty I wasn’t upset about losing out on. Over all it is definitely worth checking out this place! It be weary as it is very woodsy and quite “off grid” and it is most definitely not for everyone. However it is right in my wheel house!!! Will definitely be making another trip up that way to Grant!!!!! Thank you for making our mini vacation so awesome.
