Our waterfront Smith & Vallee Guest House offers the unique experience of staying overnight in the bustling village of Edison, in scenic Skagit Valley. Enjoy a private entrance and deck with sweeping views of the San Juan Islands, a beautifully landscaped yard with fire pit, and direct slough-side access for your canoe or kayak. A perfect spot for cyclists, birders, creative retreaters, romantic get-aways, foodies, and road-trippers. Check-in Monday through Friday only. This home was designed and curated as an extension of the creative venues of Smith & Vallee Gallery and Smith & Vallee Cabinet Makers, our sister businesses established in Edison. Original artworks from our gallery’s artists hang on the walls. All cabinetry and woodwork was custom designed and built in our neighboring woodshop. Add modern furnishings and lighting, a fully equipped kitchen ready for entertaining, an abundance of west-facing windows, and you’ve found an unforgettable vacation rental with breathtaking views. This home is one of three units on the property and is well equipped for small groups. Each of our three bedrooms offer privacy and respite [with wall-mounted tv’s] the bathrooms are spa-like sanctuaries, including a large soaking tub and custom tiled showers and heated floors; and the gathering spaces are open concept. To reserve additional space, our downstairs studio sleeps four and is listed separately as 'Gallery House, curated by Smith & Vallee' on airbnb. We do not allow guests under the age of 13 in the Guest House because noise travels to the lower unit. If both upstairs and downstairs are rented together, children of all ages are welcome. Next door is an adjoining studio that sleeps two and can be reserved and is listed separately as Edison Boat House, curated by Smith & Vallee on airbnb. The fenced yard creates a beautifully landscaped outdoor venue with waterfront vistas of the San Juan Islands. The upper deck invites our guests to take in the breathtaking view of Samish Bay, Blanchard Mountain and the San Juan Islands in the distance. A common yard, shared with lower unit guests, and fire pit is fenced-in for your privacy, steps away from restaurants, bakeries, a brewery, art galleries, and shopping - all within walking distance of our Guest House. Relax in the adirondacks by the fire and stretch your legs in the big yard. Self check-in is easy with the keypad on your door.

Edison, WA, is a tiny town in the Skagit Valley, surrounded by farmland, Samish Bay, and the foothills of the North Cascades. Edison truly is a bend in the road, flanked by the Edison Slough, a tidal waterway that leads boaters to Samish Bay. Bookended between Terramar Brewstillery and Smith & Vallee Gallery, our end of town is the place to be for beer, pizza and art. Your downstairs neighbor is a separate one bedroom, one bathroom AirBnB. The BreadFarm is open daily, the perfect stop for grabbing pastries and bread to go. Breakfast at Tweets, wine, spirits, sundries and delicious soups and sandwiches at Slough Food, lunch at Mariposas, two pubs and the Chuckanut Manor just down the road for dinner leaves ample options for dining out.
