Edison Boat House, curated by hosts Smith & Vallee

Our cozy second floor studio offers the unique experience of staying overnight in the bustling village of Edison, in scenic Skagit Valley. Enjoy a private entrance and deck, offering the most amazing views of the Edison Slough and the San Juan Islands. A perfect stay for cyclists, birders, creative retreaters, romantic get-aways, foodies and road trippers. Curl up in the bay window and watch swans and eagles and the slough tide go in and out. Monday through Friday check-in only. This space 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 artwork from our gallery's artists hang on the walls. All furniture and casework was custom designed and built/refurbished in our neighboring woodshop. Enjoy the incredible sunsets over the San Juan Islands from the private deck. Climb the ladder to the loft and hide away. High speed wi-fi for streaming and remote work. Yard, barbecue and firepit shared with the Smith & Vallee Guest House and Gallery House guests. Self check-in is easy with the keypad on your door. We live and work here in Edison, and are available by phone if anything comes up during your stay. Also, visit us during business hours at our art gallery next door! A common yard, fire pit and barbecue (shared with neighboring guests at Smith & Vallee Guest House and the Gallery House) is fenced-in for your privacy, steps away from restaurants, bakeries, a brewery, art galleries, shopping - all within walking distance of the Boat House. 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 next door neighbor is two adjoining vacation rentals listed on Airbnb as Smith & Vallee Guest House (sleeps 6), and Gallery House (sleeps 4). 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. Perusing The Lucky Dumpster, Shop Curator and Hedgerow could take an entire afternoon! Some businesses are closed mid week, so best to check ahead before your stay. Everything in the village of Edison is within a 5 minute walk. The WA State Ferry system departs from Anacortes to the San Juan Islands, just a 20 minute drive from the Boat House. Chuckanut Drive winds north along the water from Edison, leading to Fairhaven and Bellingham. We are the half-way point between Vancouver, B.C. and Seattle. Bikers, birders, and kayakers have what they need right out our doorstep. To reserve additional space, our neighboring second and third floor Guest House sleeps 6 and is listed separately as 'Smith & Vallee Guest House in Edison, Washington' on airbnb and the first floor studio apartment sleeps four, listed as 'Gallery House, curated by Smith & Vallee' on airbnb.
