About this property
The Dragonfly - so pet friendly we don't charge pet fees!
Winter Wonderland! Escape to an architect's paradise on Guemes Island! This 2-bed, 1-bath open floor haven sprawls across 2.5 lush acres. Imagine: industrial-grade steel meets polished concrete, inviting nature inside through expansive windows. A glass reading nook, a balcony for forest views, and a woodfire stove providing cozy comfort await. Embrace the outdoors inside and revel in the flood of natural light. This is your private retreat—full access to a nature-infused getaway! The home is incredibly pet-friendly. A perfect location for those who enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, birding, or simply relaxing in nature. The island offers many activities despite its quiet and small stature. We welcome you to the “secret” of the San Juan Islands, just a short ferry ride from Anacortes, Washington.

This unique house was the perfect place for peace and quiet, for our puppy dog, and for great mountain hiking. Also, the nearby beaches provided plenty of opportunities for strolling. The rental had everything we needed for relaxing mornings and cozy evenings after hiking all day. We especially appreciated the turntable and selection of albums. We would definitely book again.
If you need a quiet getaway this is it . Plenty to do on the island via foot or bike. Great hiking and. exposure to a super quiet island . Great gateway to Deception Pass !
Beautiful spot in the woods, perfect for a quick getaway. House was unique and set up nicely for a couple and dogs. Appreciated the communication from the Host and guidebook.
We had a great time at the property and on the island itself. The hikes around the island were fun and beautiful. Great to be around all the wildlife. The island is full of very friendly people. The house was warm and inviting. We loved building a fire each night.
We very much enjoyed our stay! It was very dog friendly - the stick library was adorable. The house is also beautiful inside and surrounded by woods. The reason for 4 stars was that the second bed was extremely firm so we didn’t use it. It was also very cold when we first arrived as the heaters were not on and it took overnight to warm up.
We really enjoyed our stay. The people on Guemes Island were all super friendly. The house itself was awesome, such a neat little set-up. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway, this is the place for you. Ashley was super quick to respond. A tree fell while we were there and took out power, but we could light a fire to keep warm and could see they were working to quickly to get the power back on. There are beach access areas on the island, so make sure to explore a bit. Listening to the trees bantering with each other was something special, something you don’t always get if you live in the city. You have an awesome house and glad we got to enjoy it for a weekend. Would definitely go back again.
We had a fantastic weekend here, and very much enjoyed the quiet environment and lovely property. Our small dog was very happy for windows to see outside and plenty of space to explore!
We had a wonderful stay with our college age daughter before she heads back to school. The house was super clean and had everything we needed to enjoy some quiet and some time together.
Guemes itself has all the highlights of the bigger islands, but without the long, tricky logistics of getting there. This properly is perfectly situated on a private forested lot in the middle of the island. Great open floor plan, dog-friendly concrete floors, very comfortable minimalist interior, wood fireplace, great kitchen - it's easy to show up and feel like you're instantly at home.
For dogs, there are thoughtful touches like leads in the yard, removable covers for the couch, outdoor warm water for hosing off pups, even a stick/tennis ball repository.
Everything on the island is a few minutes away by bicycle, and cruiser bicycles are provided. Hike Guemes Mountain for a panoramic view, or go through the Dog Woods preserve to get a feel for the island's history. Peaches Preserve is another great walk through the woods and public access beach... or just enjoy the property itself - the outdoor chairs, the master bedroom balcony, or if it's raining the indoor "reading nook" are all great places to unwind.
Looking forward to our next trip already.
