Lovely natural setting, Superb host, ideal for a relaxing break
We were a group of five adults and absolutely loved our stay here. Riley is a wonderful, super friendly and helpful host. The Sunset beach is a 10 mins walk from the home and we enjoyed swimming there. The kitchen is the best equipped kitchen we have used in a vacation home.

We had the absolute BEST stay at Nettles and I wish we could have stayed longer!
The space is truly beautiful and well thought out. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen had everything you could need or want to cook, there were fresh eggs and bacon in the fridge. It was a truly magical stay and we will absolutely be back! Riley was responsive and lovely to interact with.

Couldn't be happier with Nettles Inn
Our lodge was fantastic, we loved cooking, getting to meet Stella, and the property/location. Riley was incredibly helpful and friendly and made our stay easy and enjoyable. Multiple times my wife and I said it was a place we would live in.

Great stay at Nettles Farm!
Out stay at Nettles Farm was very convenient and comfortable. The rooms were big and spacious and we enjoyed the steam bath. All the ingredients for a good breakfast, including eggs from the farm, were available. A 2 min drive from
Willow's Inn it was a special treat to find out if that Riley was the one who
first put it on the map! He was such an interesting and inspiring host to chat with given his work on sustainable fishing. We also really enjoyed our visit to the reefnet fishing center.

Like You Never Left Home!
My boyfriend brought me to Nettle Farms for my birthday on an extended weekend stay and I couldn’t be any happier with my experience! We stayed in the Farmhouse Suite and everything you could need to feel right at home was found in abundance. There was a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable decor, a steam room shower in the master, and not to mention the lush green woods that surround the entire property. Nature at its finest.

Thanks for your review, Romil. I have since added steel cut organic oats to the breakfast ingredients. If you have other ideas, I would be happy to hear them.

DREAMY !!! Riley & Stella are super hosts!
Our group of 4 loved all the "gourmet" items in the kitchen, spices, pan options, pizza oven... better stocked than most home kitchens. The steam shower upstairs was AWESOME... Not enough time to try out the fancy bathtub (maybe next time). Lummi is a very special place filled with charm and good people. We were there for the reef net festival and it was super fun. Thank you Riley & Stella for wonderful weekend getaway. Michelle, Chris, Nicole & Shawn-O

Our home away from home
We stay at Nettles Farm a couple of times a year with our two young children. It has become a home away from home for us. It's serene, beautiful and a total unplug experience. We live in the city, so the stay at the farm is exactly what we and our children need and love. The kids roam the farm, the adjacent woods and learn about nature through experience and conversations with Riley, the owner. We enjoy short walks to the beach, the goodies the farm has to offer and the quiet serene surroundings

Charming, authentic farm stay
We discovered Nettles Farm many years ago. Riley is a great host and his approach to guests and the quality of provisions for meals, outstanding. He's also very resourceful and can connect you to the best of what Lummi has on offer. The farm is such a lovely place to relax and use as a base for a stay. The kitchen is well equipped and I love that Riley and team understand that travellers who like to cook don't really want to haul all the basics like salt, pepper, spices and such. Thank you.

Thanks for your comments, Ben. I try to always have the kitchen pantry basics, so you don't have to think of them. I have since added a potager for each kitchen, with various herbs and vegetables to cook with.

Magical
The Nettle farmhouse was meticulously clean, beautifully architected, and was well stocked with kitchen tools. The beach was walking distance away. Riley has a great appreciation for art and has an amazing collection of work inside the farmhouse. We were able to pick fresh spinach, enjoy fresh organic eggs from the chickens on the farm, and Riley even smoked us a salmon. Fresh coffee that Riley had roasted and Nettle farmhouse jam were incredible.

About the host
Hosted by Host
I have been a commercial fisherman all of my adult life, graduating from WWU in 1972 and buying my first boat 6 months later.
I've owned many boats, from San Francisco Bay to Bristol Bay, but my favorite fishery came to me when I landed on Lummi Island in 1992. Reefnetting was the main island culture in those days, and I wanted to join in. At the same time, Judy and I built a commercial kitchen attached to the house I had built, and proceeded to build a farm-to-pasta kitchen business. We added a USDA abattoir, and greenhouses, and chicken coops, and created a healthy business that served all of the Puget Sound area.
Not content to see our products in stores and restaurants, we decided in 2001 to buy the shuttered Willows Inn to make a farm-to-table restaurant, an idea still then in its infancy.
With the combination of the reefnet salmon, halibut and spot prawns just off the Willows deck, the produce from Nettles, and now our seaweed farm in Legoe Bay, we had an entire world that spoke specifically of Lummi Island. Continuing that vision with Nettles Farm, we have an authentic San Juan Island agritourismo, but you don't need to travel to italy to enjoy it.
