Perched high in the trees, this cozy cabin offers stunning views of Hale Passage and the distant lights of Bellingham, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable getaway.
Autumn and Winter Highlights
Imagine yourself curled up on a window seat with a warm cup of tea, gazing out at the mist-covered waters and the rich colors of the fall foliage. The surrounding woodlands, alive with the sounds of nature, provide a peaceful sanctuary for unwinding and reconnecting with the simpler pleasures of life.
After a brisk walk exploring the island’s scenic trails or beachcombing along the shoreline, return to the warmth of the cabin. Soak in the cedar hot tub, where you can take in panoramic views of the landscape, now painted in the muted tones of autumn or the serene stillness of winter. As evening falls, gather around the fire pit to share stories under the clear, star-filled skies.
Cabin Comforts
Inside, Heron’s Nest Cabin is a warm and welcoming space, with natural wood interiors, vaulted ceilings, and large windows that fill the cabin with soft light. The open layout blends the living, dining, and kitchen areas, making it the ideal setting for cozy gatherings. Whether you’re cooking a comforting meal in the well-equipped kitchen or dining by the unique tree root table, the cabin’s thoughtful details enhance the charm of your stay.
Each bedroom is designed with comfort in mind. The primary king suite features heated floors in the ensuite bathroom, providing an extra touch of luxury on cool evenings. A second bedroom, tucked among the treetops, offers a peaceful retreat with its own window seat—perfect for morning coffee and quiet reflection.
Outdoor Living
Even in the cooler months, the expansive deck and cedar hot tub remain favorite spots for relaxation. Wrap yourself in a blanket and enjoy the view from the deck, or take a refreshing shower in the outdoor cedar shower house, which offers an invigorating connection to nature. The fire pit is a perfect gathering place for star-gazing and enjoying the crisp night air, with the gentle sounds of nature all around you.
