Family Vacation

The property was an excellent place for our family vacation. Our grandsons loved paddle-boarding on the lake. The house was just as pictured on VRBO. There is plenty of entertaining space both indoors and outdoors. It is a beautiful lake setting and conveniently located for exploring parks and hiking trails.

Memorable Family Reunion

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful lakeside home. It was the perfect gathering place for visits with our local family and UK family staying at the owner’s cottage property across the street. The owners were extremely responsive to questions and were very accommodating to our needs. If we are fortunate to bring our family together again in the Bellingham area, we will absolutely consider staying at this property.

Great house

We had such a wonderful time staying at this beautiful home. Our daughter and her family with three small boys stayed and fished and fished. They were in heaven even catching the tiniest of fish. They mastered the kayaks which are as cute as can be and we enjoyed the bonfire. Beautiful location that we hope to stay at again.

Beautiful & comfortable house on the lake

We had a great time at this beautiful lake house! Well designed and comfortable with great spaces for gathering to play games, hang out and enjoy the lake. We brought our boat and had a great time tubing and fishing. Caught a 20” bass! The kitchen was spacious and had almost everything we needed. We would happily stay here again and Mark and Carlee were great at communicating expectations.

LOCATION! GORGEOUS HOME!

This home did not disappoint. It was beautiful inside and out….and how about the VIEWS and the LOCATION! It was 15 minutes to Fairhaven with no traffic. This house has all the amenities and very comfortable beds….we slept in everyday. We were able to relax, unwind and reset which was so needed. We had a fire almost every night, under the stars and even with a little rain, it was perfect. The kitchen had everything you need to cook a beautiful meal. There were 4 people, my husband and I and our son and daughter in law. We took the whole upstairs and they had the entire downstairs, then we met in the middle for meals and games. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home with us, it was perfect!!

Amazing house

This house is amazing! It’s very updated with lots of amenities. For future renters a couple things to consider before renting, lots of steps so not ideal for littles and older adults who have trouble walking. Not a lot of parking, only four parking spots. This was our annual girls weekend and we usually come as we get off work. This time we had to figure out carpooling. Lastly which you can’t really control is lots of geese poop. Overall the house is amazing. Really nice deck to hang out on, enjoy your morning coffee or the sunset and two outdoor fireplaces. It’s was a very much needed relaxing weekend.

Fun Family Time!

This home is one of the most beautiful homes on the lake. The garden overflowed (August) with berries, tomatoes, apples, and kale (we had so much fun picking everything... thanks for this treat!) The neighbors were friendly... we definitely would come back! We loved being able to bring our boat and tie it up to the end of the dock... huge plus for us. There's truly something for every age here. As water sports people, we were extra cautious with our toddler on the property because there are no gates from the house to the beach (to be expected.) We also really like to cook, and found everything we needed, except a blender/food processor (which my brother was able to bring over.) Mark was super responsive and helpful, but we also tried to be respectful of his time and didn't want to burden him with something we were easily able to solve on our own. :) I only add it here to help other families with their planning! Overall, a great time! We look forward to coming back.

Dream lake house

What a beautiful last few days. This lake house is absolutely gorgeous right on the lake with large yard. All the lake toys included which was wonderful. We had s’mores at the fire, played endless rounds of corn hole, BBQed, and played endlessly. The kids LOVED jumping off dock into the lake. The house is a gorgeous beachy vibe. Super spacious and had everything we needed. We absolutely wished we stayed a few more days. Thanks again!!!!

Enjoyable Lake Vacation

This home provided our family with an enjoyable lake vacation. The house was spacious and clean, the property was large, and the dock and lake was beautiful! We enjoyed many hours of fun on the water in the clean and warm lake. The open concept design worked well, and the bedroom arrangements were spacious and comfortable. Would definitely stay again in the future.

Great Fun Filled House

We rented this house and the one next to it for a family reunion. Everyone said this was the best family vacation! We felt very comfortable in the house. It had a great big kitchen that made it easy to cook for multiple people. We loved the kid room and all the toys. The view was fabulous. We enjoyed many meals and sunsets at the large patio table. We have already booked next year’s reunion!
