Why the Owner Chose Bellingham
This property is one of a kind. Swimming and fishing at the door. A great place for children of all ages. There's a cabin for the children to do their own thing, but still close to family. Now for extra room for family and friends, there's a self contained one bedroom apartment. Taking the two units, the apartment is very reasonable.
The Unique Benefits at this House
My family has had property on Emerald Lake since 1960. It's been a great retreat for my six children and grandchildren as well as brothers, sisters and their families, plus our friends. Bellingham is minutes away where many activities, shopping and gourmet restuarants add to the wonderful lake setting apart from city life.

I'm passionate in what I'm doing with the Emerald Lake Chalet.
When I read guest comments that they have enjoyed their stay and want to come back,
that's very rewarding.

"We had a wonderful vacation at your lake house, enjoying the house itself, the lake, and our family. We had everything we needed and also enjoyed cooking meals together there. It was so nice to be just 10 minutes from our family and be in such a beautiful setting. We barbequed on the deck, watched bald eagles hunting, enjoyed fishermen catching trout, and were a few feet away from the tamest deer we have ever experienced, including a mother deer and her fawn. We will definitely be back for a visit later this year." Best regards, Wayne

We had a wonderful time in your beautiful home. You provided everything we could possibly need. We enjoyed watching the ducks on the lake and the birds, squirrels, and racoons at the feeders. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Thanks for renting us the house on the lake. Boys and I certainly enjoyed using the peddle boat and canoe. Doug said this is the best rental we've ever found. Very private yet convenient to shops and scenic tours. Managed to get in the water yesterday and temperature was fine.

We enjoyed the cabin so much! Weather was beautiful, even though the lake was COLD, it was still fun to swim in. I'm sure it would be amazing in the summer, when the entire day could be spent out on the lake. The cabin was spacious and comfortable for our family of five. A short trip to Fairhaven for ice cream was the perfect cap to our weekend getaway.
