Samish Garden House: Nature Retreat & Gateway to Adventure
The Samish Garden House offers luxury nature retreat accommodations with private gardens and spectacular Samish Bay views. This property provides an intimate setting to experience fall colors, winter fun, and spring blooms while enjoying curated garden spaces. Summers are high season for the cottage gardens and for Samish Island in general.
Step into sunlight-drenched comfort. Newly furnished and enhanced by floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings, skylights, and a modern fireplace, this private 2 bd/2.5 ba home offers refined living woven seamlessly with the natural world.
In Fall & Winter, Samish Island reaches peak fall colors with stunning natural displays against the setting of snow-capped Mt. Baker and the San Juan Islands. Enjoy beautiful hikes and viewpoints showcasing autumn colors against the Salish Sea backdrop. Stroll through autumn harvests and pumpkin patches like Gordons Skagit Farms, and experience the beauty and agricultural heritage of the Skagit Valley. One of the highlights of winter is the proximity to amazing displays of raptor nesting, snow geese and trumpeter swan migrations, among other cycles of nature in our nearby fields. Its a nature photographer's dream come true.
All seasons, enjoy convenient proximity to amazing dining at signature restaurants in local cities like La Conner, Anacortes, Bellingham, Fairhaven and our home town of Edison, and Chuckanut Drive.
Indoor‑Outdoor Flow & Garden Bliss
In Spring & Summer stroll through open lawns, lush flowers, english cottage gardens and pathways before settling onto a comfy patio overlooking Samish Bay. Morning coffee at sunrise, evening glass of wine—your senses will awaken to eagles, blue heron and birdsong, sea breeze, and rustling leaves.
