About this property

The Dragonfly - so pet friendly we don't charge pet fees!

Winter Wonderland!
Escape to an architect's paradise on Guemes Island! This 2-bed, 1-bath open floor haven sprawls across 2.5 lush acres. Imagine: industrial-grade steel meets polished concrete, inviting nature inside through expansive windows. A glass reading nook, a balcony for forest views, and a woodfire stove providing cozy comfort await. Embrace the outdoors inside and revel in the flood of natural light. This is your private retreat—full access to a nature-infused getaway! The home is incredibly pet-friendly.
A perfect location for those who enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, birding, or simply relaxing in nature. The island offers many activities despite its quiet and small stature. We welcome you to the “secret” of the San Juan Islands, just a short ferry ride from Anacortes, Washington.

Great Stay

We had a great time at the property and on the island itself. The hikes around the island were fun and beautiful. Great to be around all the wildlife. The island is full of very friendly people. The house was warm and inviting. We loved building a fire each night.

Beautiful property

We very much enjoyed our stay! It was very dog friendly - the stick library was adorable. The house is also beautiful inside and surrounded by woods. The reason for 4 stars was that the second bed was extremely firm so we didn’t use it. It was also very cold when we first arrived as the heaters were not on and it took overnight to warm up.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Farley

PNW native who loves everything the PNW has to offer from hiking, biking, kayaking, beach combing, and birding. I bring along our two amazing doggos - Zeek and Addison. When not outside I enjoy puzzles, books, and binge watching tv/movies.

I am a librarian and am very passionate that knowledge should be a public good. While I love my day job it can be hard to see the result of hard work. With hosting I can see our guests benefit and enjoy the hard work that we put into The Dragonfly. It's incredibly rewarding and reminds us of how truly unique and special the home and location is.

Why they chose this property

Guemes Island is such a unique spot it's hard to not fall in love. Going to the island feels like you are escaping the city with just a 5-minute ferry ride. You can enjoy hiking, biking, and beach combing from this peaceful home The food at the Guemes Island General Store is fantastic and in my opinion has the best French fries in the PNW.

What makes this property unique

The home is situated within 2.5 acres of woods that are adjacent to the Guemes Island Cemetery. The local island park is within walking distance. Very peaceful and secluded. Very dog friendly!
