Guemes is an island that even the Washington lifers don't often know about until they've seen it on a map or visited. Having a chance to visit this beautiful tiny home felt like a true getaway; you don't realize the view you are about to come upon while driving in, but the Eagle's Nest delivers on its name.

Because the island only has one store and one food option, we stopped in Anacortes before hopping on the ferry so we could utilize the barbecue on the incredibly large, covered deck that the Eagle's Nest provides. After a light but sweaty hike, and some incredible views of barges, mountains and incredible wildflowers, we headed back for our dinner with all the PNW vibes. Then, of course, we ended the day with a spa treatment in the hot tub.

Although there was rain the next morning, the covered porch and fire pit offered us shelter and warmth to drink our coffee and meditate. That said, the Eagle's Nest provided more than just shelter and supplies – it gave us a weekend full of peace and relaxation.
