NEVER VACATIONED ON LUMMI ISLAND? Here are some VERY important things to note:
1) There are no roads/bridges to this island. All vacationers and homeowners access the island by ferry boat. Once on the island, you're only a 2min drive to Driftwood Dreams!
2) There are no major grocery stores on the island. (There is a small one which is very reliable for stocking the basics (and a bit more)). All vacationers and homeowners provision their houses by shopping at the major grocery stores on the mainland prior to crossing over to the island.

Yes, there is some legwork involved in planning a vacation on Lummi Island, but the effort is worth it because this is what makes Lummi Island so special!...Step away from the real world, relax...and explore!

Love the idea of staying in the islands but don't want to deal with the inconvenience of extra long ferry lines and long ferry rides? Consider Lummi Island!

Baker, and the Canadian Cascades as you lounge on one of the home's two expansive decks! Sip on your morning coffee or an evening cocktail to enjoy the view while cozied up under a blanket.
