10/10 Exceptional

Nettles Farm is a one-of-a-kind gem on peaceful Lummi island.
The ultra creative owner Riley KNOWS food and has created an extremely inspiring experience that we felt lucky to enjoy.
Every detail is so special and everything we tasted was the best we’d ever had. The farmhouse seems unassuming at first but has an incredible kitchen, gourmet stocked pantry and cool touches.
Breakfast included fresh eggs and the absolute best bacon I’ve ever had (made a grown man cry). Riley roasts his own coffee. It’s killer.
The suite has a pizza oven and you can - and MUST - purchase Riley’s pizza kit. It comes with black garlic and Riley’s sauce which is out of this world. The pizza was so good we made it twice, and Riley made it a little different for our second night.
There’s a beautifully tiled soaking tub and a steam shower with a special tile from a gallery to accent the wall. Riley told us he enjoys doing tilework. One gets the sense that there is nothing he can’t do.
We stayed two nights and wish it had been a full week. Come prepared to discover new joys, pick tomatoes and herbs from the greenhouse, relax, do nothing, and cook decadently. We wish we had planned more adventurous meals in advance and brought stuff to bake as well.
If you’re fussy (I am), bring your own pillow.
