Location: Bellingham, Washington State, USA (4 Miles from Bellingham's City Limits)
Accommodations: Cottage, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
Our cottage, built in 1997, provides the ideal setting for a romantic "getaway for two" or perfect accommodations and lodging while touring Western Washington. We're a quick 90 miles from Seattle, 54 miles from Vancouver B.C. and just outside the city limits of Bellingham. The cottage is nestled among cedar and fir trees on tranquil acreage overlooking the lake and has a fully equipped kitchen/living area, bedroom, bathroom, a private porch and an abundance of skylights for stargazing.
Our cottage is for two adults only and the property won a 1997 AIA (State Architectural Award) for contemporary design. Please click on our website link below for more photos, reviews, etc. We also have unsolicited reviews for Squalicum Lake Cottage at Tripadvisor dot com. Also note our cottage is inspected by the State of Washington Bed & Breakfast Guild and meets/exceeds their requirements.
The cozy living room, with a vaulted beamed ceiling looks out onto Squalicum Lake and Squalicum Mountain. Large windows provide an unobstructed view for watching the fish jump on the lake or enjoying the birds at the feeders. The cottage is situated in the middle of colorful perennial gardens and during the spring and fall you can see large flocks of migratory birds land on the lake.
The kitchen is fully equipped including a microwave, stove, oven, toaster, coffee maker and refrigerator. Dishes, utensils and pans are provided as well.
A white iron and brass queen sized pillow top bed is covered with lots of pillows making it a great place to snuggle or take that long sought after nap. The guests at Squalicum Lake Cottage come to slow the pace of their daily lives.
Eagles and a wide variety of other birds are a common sight as well as deer wandering through the meadow. Should you visit in the summer you might spot a heron or kingfisher looking for a bite to eat in the 26,000-gallon pond right outside your door. Dozens of frogs chorus at evening time, along with soft owl duets often heard after dark.
You may wish to select the option of having breakfast delivered to your doorstep and you can relax and bask in all of Mother Nature's glory, enjoying every moment. Our guests initial comments are always that the website photos never do the property justice. How does one capture an entire mountain behind a lake?
We offer services as a bed & breakfast and light housekeeping for an additional fee.
