As advertised. Nice quite and really enjoyed the hot tub. Would stay here again for sure. Only problem was the wonderful welcome book came apart and I could not re thread the pages on the plastic spine. Very nice stay.

Great location and nice spot. Really nice and quiet. Comfortably sleeps 4, the couch on the main floor isn’t really suited for adults as it’s pretty small. Only issue we had was the neighbors septic alarm going off for a couple hours in the evening. Shutoff after about an hour though. we can’t blame our host for something completely out of their control!

Relaxing Get Away

This was our first time to Guemes Island. We were pleasantly surprised. Enjoyed the house it was very cozy. Had all the amenities we needed minus a fully functional stove top. Luckily we didn’t need 2 large burners but if we had it would have been frustrating to cook on that stove.

Sweet

Easy to be there. The kitchen had supplies for cooking including spices, which is so rare. I wish the knives were sharper, tho! This place is real cute with a very open floor plan, so bring your earplugs if your friends tend to snore.

Relaxing stay

It was very relaxing and beautiful out on Guemes Island. Its juat a sweet little island. There is one store which is also a restaurant and bar, but the ferry ride is only like 5 mins to get to the mainland. The people were socnice out on the islabd as well. We did have an issue the frist day with the key but the owners were fast to get back to us and were so amazing. I would definitely stay out here again. 5 out of 5 stars for sure

Just what I needed

This cabin is a lovely retreat from the hustle and bustle of city living. The small kitchen is wonderfully appointed and the shower had great pressure with water quickly coming to the desired temperature. The sleeping nooks upstairs are adorable and comfy. Thank you to the hosts for cultivating such a comfortable and nurturing space! Oh, and a nearby neighbor is a massage therapist! She set up a table right in the living room, so I didn’t have to go anywhere. I had plans to investigate the island, but found myself with everything I needed and more right on the property.

Great place! As olds, we had a bit of a hard time with the stairs, but the cottage was immaculate. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds super comfy, the location quiet and peaceful. Perfect getaway from the city.

Cozy and relaxing

We stayed on Guemes Island as part of a longer Island trip, and this cabin was a very comfortable getaway to relax as well as base camp for some exploration. We spent two nights and poked around the island and Anacortes while we were there. The scenery was lovely! The house itself was very clean, had all the necessities, and was in a peaceful setting with a cute backyard. We enjoyed making s’mores in the fire pit and reading on the porch.

Lovely cabin in peaceful setting

We loved our stay at the woodpecker house in Guemes. Backyard garden was so peaceful and beautiful and the cabin is perfectly decorated and stocked with such nice detail. One thing to note is that if you are sensitive to scented soaps, be sure to bring your own. I was allergic to the lavender soaps used throughout the home, which wouldn’t be an issue for most people, but worth noting for those who might be sensitive like me. Overall we loved our stay on Guemes. And we recommend the mountain hike!

Woodpecker Lodge

Super cute cabin in a quiet neighborhood. Loved how eco friendly the cabin was and that the owners made an exception for my mom's seizure alert dog. They gave excellent resources for outdoor hikes and views of the island, recommended the peach preserve. Thank you for your kindness.
