Lapis Lane Guest House

"Green" Organic Garden, Steam Bath & Hand-blown Glass

A secluded, healthy, Earth-friendly home

Enjoy an evening walk under old fir trees. See and hear owls and coyotes howl. During the day see eagles soar overhead. Lapis Lane Guesthouse offers its guests privacy with the warmth and casual hospitality of island living. The home is located on the western side of Whidbey Island, looking over the Maxwellton Valley. Through the trees you have a beautiful view of the sunsets, Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. The home is located on 6 acres, with large fir, cedar and maple trees. The house sleeps up to six in its two bedrooms and fold-out sofa. All bed linens are 100% cotton and only non-toxic, low-perfume natural cleaning products are used in the home. There is a relaxing steam bath and a Jacuzzi tub to relax and enjoy. In August and September pick buckets of wild blackberries growing right outside the front door. There is a full kitchen complete with all your cooking needs. The home is elegantly furnished with handcrafted objects and fine art work.
