Enjoy Local Seafood and Stunning Views At Our Island Beach Cottage! (Beautiful Lummi Island, Washington State) $210 3bd Wouldnt you like to just get away and live on an island for a while? Start planning your escape to beautiful Lummi Island, one of the famous San Juan Islands chain. Our cottages are wonderful Summer and Fall getaways! If you like mild and crisp weather, as well as the occasional bout of dramatic weather, you may be in luck. Our theme this summer at the Flying Fish Guest House and the Old Glory Farmhouse is the many aspects of Mardi Gras! Marcia and John recently traveled to Louisiana to listen and dance to Cajun and Zydeco music, and Marcia is thus inspired .. Ask also about the Artists tours, which are great fun, and are presented 4 times a year. There are many local artists and craftspersons represented, as well as nationally know artists. Even if you dont make the tour, you often can visit the artists on the island in their studios. Ask Marcia if this idea interests you. Please call for unique fun on an artsy island. ~~THE QUICKEST AND BEST WAY TO GET STARTED IS A CALL TO MARCIA AT 360 758-2289. Thanks. And Happy Summer! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two Marvelous Island Retreats, for an Unforgettable Vacation Getaway: THE FIRST (The Glorious and Always Enchanting Flying Fish Cottage) is a charming, intimate, and yet spacious seaside cottage (a full sized house, really), with vaulted ceilings in the main living area, overlooking the ever-changing ocean waters of beautiful Hale Passage, and featuring Magnificent Mountain and Water Views! Lots of boats passing, and ocean wildlife, including seals and the occasional whale. Eagles nest nearby, and Herons stand proudly in their eerie poses while hunting fish and crabs. The cottage has a large deck overlooking the view, a small morning coffee sipping deck down the beach stairs and right on the beach, and several smaller personal spaces for more private pursuits. Collect shells and beach glass as an otter looks on, or watch the wild sea birds and soaring eagles, endlessly fascinating. There are two good sized bedrooms (queen beds) facing the water, and a third, smaller, extra room equipped with bunk beds. This unique and engaging beachside house is ideal for a family with children, or for two families to share. THE SECOND unique getaway (The Inspiring and Traditional Old Glory Farmhouse) is a turn of the century farmhouse (updated with modern conveniences) on 5 private view acres, just a short way inland (but you still have beach access), high up on a hill, and with even more sweeping water and Mountain Views, and abounding with wildlife outside your front door!! The farmhouse sits on five beautiful acres, and has a large deck overlooking the view. Eagles, deer, birds of all kinds, and other wildlife abound. There is a roomy master suite upstairs (vaulted ceilings), a smaller, intimate bedroom downstairs, and a third, very private first floor bedroom separated from the main house by a short hallway. Ideal for a family with children, or to share for two families. Larger parties can be accommodated. For each of the two cottages, enjoy these great features: Both are unique, peaceful, private and serene, situated on a comfortably small and quietly beautiful island, and away from the press of city life. And yet, when you get the urge, you find that you are but a short drive from the city excitement and activities found in beautiful Vancouver BC, sophisticated Seattle, and friendly Bellingham, Washington, and many quaint smaller towns along the beautiful Pacific Northwest coast, harboring artists, great food, and lots of scenery. Nearby, you will find plenty of hiking, biking, dining, relaxing, and sightseeing. Each cottage features a spacious and comfortable living/dining room area, and a fully equipped kitchen. Both cottages provide beach access. We provide (at each cottage) a really nice propane gas barbeque for cookouts on summer evenings, or any evening for that matter. Walk down to the beach and gather your seafood repast yourself, or buy that days seafood catch, fresh and delicious from a local fisherman and merchant. Buy eggs, marvelously fresh and laid that day, from hens raised locally and sold at many roadside stands (always on the honor system), by your friendly neighbors on the island. For special occasions without leaving our beautiful Lummi Island, you can visit either a fine gourmet restaurant or a friendly local café/watering hole, both with great food. For rates and further information, and to live the good island life for a time, call your friendly and charming hostess, Marcia Apolis, at (360) 758-2289, or visit our websites at http://www.lummi-island.net/flyingfish/ for the Flying Fish Oceanside Retreat http://www.lummi-island.net/oldgloryfarm/ for the Old Glory Farmhouse on Five View Acres ---------------FOR QUICKEST RESPONSE, PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER.---------------- Often email goes unchecked for a day or two, but Marcia checks phone messages every day.
