Driftwood Dreams Waterfront House, Mt. Baker Views, 2 Decks, Nature

• 
  Driftwood Dreams on the main deck - immersed in nature from dawn to dusk with water views in every direction...This is where the day starts and ends.
• 
  This view is the reason that our guests return to Driftwood Dreams over & over again; it just stays with you. We invite you to be our guests. Enjoy watching the ferry come and go and witness Mt. Baker and the Twin Sisters show off in all their glory.
• 
  The King waterview master bedroom allows you to experience jaw-dropping sunrises & features a Smartlife mattress, built-in storage, and an elevated private deck. This is a premium sleep experience.
• 
  Enjoy preparing northwest inspired meals in a kitchen that actually has everything - sharp knives, a full spice rack, ample counter space, and high-end kitchen appliances, such as a Bosch drawer-microwave.
• 
  Enter Driftwood Dreams and the view hits you immediately - the open concept great room's floor-to-ceiling windows wrap you up in the water and mountain views. This is where vacation truly starts to settle in.
• 
  Welcome to Driftwood Dreams - your waterfront jewel on Lummi Island. We look forward to hosting you.
• 
  "One enters 'island time' the moment you line up for the ferry." -Dave Welcome to Driftwood Dreams
• 
  Discover Lummi Island from above - a remote Pacific Northwest sanctuary ringed by water, accessible only by ferry, where your waterfront house is waiting. This is where you escape.
• 
  Come aboard the Whatcom Ferry for a 6 min scenic crossing - it runs frequently, and the moment you pull up to Lummi, the mainland feels genuinely far away. Your vacation starts on the boat.
• 
  Sink into the sand at Sunset Beach - just a short drive from Driftwood Dreams. Lean against a piece of driftwood, watch the sun drop behind the islands, and stay until the light is gone.
• 
  "My wife & I wanted a weekend away from the city somewhere private w/ a pretty view. Driftwood Dreams fit the bill perfectly." -Jeff
• 
  We'd be honored to welcome you as guests!
• 
  Foodies will enjoy cooking while still enjoying the company of others as they play, relax, and enjoy the view.
• 
  The great room is the place to be: floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the perimeter, natural light pours in all day, and the gas fireplace keeps evenings warm and cozy.
• 
  "Our favorite part was relaxing on the comfy couches by the fireplace, while enjoying the gorgeous views of the water!" -Michelle
• 
  Sit inside, cozy on the living room couch, look up, and there is Mt. Baker, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. Watch the crabbing boats work the water while you enjoy your morning coffee.
• 
  Put the phones down, plop a pillow on the floor and pick out one of the games provided. Let the island slow you down - enjoy some fun with the whole group!
• 
  If you're a bit of a foodie, this kitchen was made for you - plan a locally inspired menu and simply enjoy the space. Everything you need is here, and the view makes prep a pleasure.
• 
  Here's your invitation to a rejuvenating stay at Driftwood Dreams.
• 
  During your stay, learn about Lummi Island's wild reefnet fishery - one of the world's most sustainable salmon fisheries, and a living piece of island culture...and enjoy its bounty.
• 
  Guests rave about this kitchen for a good reason...Natural light floods the counter space and high-end details are everywhere you look. You're going to love the conveniences stocked at Driftwood Dreams.
• 
  Sure, a coffee pot is a must but we've added a Keurig, a milk frother, and a grinder.
• 
  Coffee, coffee filters, a starter amount of pods & teas are provided. Enjoy!
• 
  Gather everyone at the table and make it a meal to remember: fresh, local food, good company, no one in a rush. The dining space at Driftwood Dreams was made for this.
• 
  Slide the door open and your gathering space doubles. The living room pours directly onto the main deck. Plenty of room to lounge and...
• 
  ...dine al fresco! With Puget Sound as your backdrop, this is the optimal spot for serving Dungeness crab, local reef-net salmon, or fresh oysters you picked up (or harvested yourself) on the island.
• 
  Grab a blanket, sink into the overstuffed outdoor furniture, and stay longer than you planned. The high-bank waterfront deck has a way of making every hour feel like happy hour.
• 
  Fire up the barbecue and keep your eyes open - otters and eagles work the water below while you grill. You'll be flipping burgers while enjoying one of the best views on the property.
• 
  Nibbling and sipping on the local flavors is what makes vacation extra enjoyable!
• 
  Gather the group on the deck - overstuffed chairs and cozy blankets make time spent outdoors pleasant, no matter the weather. PNW evenings are better surrounded by those you love.
• 
  Wind your way down to the water-side deck - the most waterfront spot on the property, right at the water's edge. This is the deck you'll come back to to sneak an extra quiet, moment away.
• 
  At high tide, the water laps right under you! One Adirondack chair sits waiting for you to savor some much craved solitude.
• 
  Plop yourself in the best room to do absolutely nothing - grab a good book or set up a board game. Rainy days at Driftwood Dreams are secretly the best kind.
• 
  Walk in the front door and you're steps away from everything on the main level - the queen bedroom, main bathroom, and the open living spaces, all within easy reach from the entry.
• 
  Enter in through the bright front entry - the main-floor Queen bedroom is right there and the great room is just ahead.
• 
  Get settled in the main-floor queen bedroom without a single step - designed so every guest can arrive easily, regardless of mobility. A space that is thoughtful in all the right ways.
• 
  Hang up your clothes, fill up the drawers, and settle in – this bedroom, with easy access to the main floor, has everything you need to make it your own.
• 
  Take in every detail in the main-floor queen bedroom - soft, quality finishes provide extra comfort for your stay.
• 
  All the conveniences you need can be found on the main level - bathroom with large sink, shower/tub combo, and in-unit washer and dryer for a comfortable multi-night stay without needing to go upstairs.
• 
  Vacationers of all ages are welcome to soak away the beach day in the custom tile shower/tub with multi-function showerhead & the provided high-end soaps. This is where tired legs and salty hair meet simple luxury.
• 
  Walk 8 minutes from the front door and you're on one of Lummi Island's public beaches - rocks, sand, driftwood and the sound of water and seabirds. No car, no crowd, no hustle-bustle.
• 
  Assorted sand toys & bucket/shovel for clam digging. Play and make memories!
• 
  Head upstairs and settle in. Both King bedrooms and the shared bathroom are easy to reach from the landing. Private, quiet, and the start of the best nights of sleep you'll have all year.
• 
  Head upstairs to find the bathroom straight ahead and each of the king bedrooms conveniently located on either side. Both sets of upstairs guests share this beautifully appointed bathroom.
• 
  Sleep deeply in waterfront King Bedroom - featuring a Smartlife Relaxation Matress, extra-large windows, access to the upper deck, and plenty of storage w/ custom built-in drawers & a large hanging closet. Tuck that suitcase away - you are here to stay!
• 
  "The King bed looking over the water toward Mt. Baker had a beautiful sunrise every morning and a French press so you don't even have to go downstairs." - Jenny (Five Stars)
• 
  Roll over, watch the sun rise, and linger just a bit longer. All water and mountains, and no alarm.
• 
  Grab the French press and wake up without leaving the room - your first cup comes with sunrise over Puget Sound / Hale Passage. The morning routine you've been waiting for.
• 
  Pick up groceries at Haggen's in Bellingham before you board the ferry. Stock up on vacation-worthy treats to enjoy... in bed.
• 
  Step out from the master bedroom onto the upper private deck - your own secluded balcony with spectacular water and mountain views. Pour a favorite beverage and watch the world below.
• 
  Pour a beverage and relax... Allow the world off-island to become irrelevant. This is what unstructured time actually feels like.
• 
  Grab a good book, soak into the lounge chair, and watch bald eagles drift past at eye level. The upper deck is where the island's wildlife becomes part of your stay.
• 
  Luxurious Driftwood Dreams Details

  Guests will sleep easy in the second king bedroom upstairs - beautifully large windows, room to breathe, large project desk, a king sized bed. The guests in here won't feel like they drew the short straw.
•
