Spring & Summer at Heron’s Nest Treehouse
As the forest comes to life the treehouse becomes an ideal place to slow down and enjoy island time. Inside, you’ll find:
A cozy main level with a convertible couch, projector for movies, and large windows that open to the sights and sounds of the forest.
A lofted sleeping nook with a queen bed, TV, and views out through the treetops—accessed by ladder, perfect for adventurous sleepers.
A galley kitchenette with mini fridge, microwave, hot plate, and essentials for light cooking or picnics.
Outside, the surrounding deck and yard invite you to make the most of the season. Lounge with a book, enjoy a casual meal under the trees, or settle into the cedar hot tub as the sky shifts to dusk. The private outdoor shower house, open to the sky but tucked into the trees, is a favorite among guests—equal parts refreshing and unforgettable.

Lummi Island is a special place - time seems to slow down when you cross from the mainland on the Whatcom Chief. Expect relaxation and rejuvenation.

The Heron's Nest Treehouse is in the lovely Lummi Island Scenic Estates which is a community that supports a boat dock and ramp, community building, swimming lake with a covered picnic area with restrooms, and a nearby playground, volleyball court and basketball hoop.

The North End of the island has a loop road that is open to vistas of the mainland, the Salish Sea, and the islands beyond. You can travel the loop by foot, bike or by car - take your time and enjoy every turn.

There are a number of preserves on the island which offer short nature hikes, or a hike up the side of the mountain to reach a vista point that has amazing views to the south of the San Juan Islands - a must do!

Lummi Island boasts the Beach Store Cafe, usually open Thursday through Sunday, and the Islander Store which is the hub of the island - a general store with a collection of artists items next door and the Saturday market from Memorial Day through Labor Day. There are also farm and flower stands around the island and you can usually buy fresh eggs along the roadside.

Lummi Island is home to a variety of artists who are happy to open their studios, mostly by appointment. Check out our island guide prior to your arrival.
