The house was a perfect place for us to stay for a week while we explored the Bellingham area. It was sparkling clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals, with all the basic condiments, cookware, and other essentials we could have wanted.The view from the house was outstanding, and the deck was a wonderful place to relax with some wine and cheese. The living area was cozy and comfortable, with plenty of blankets, and we also loved being so close to Samish Park.Cat was traveling during our stay, but whenever we needed anything, Jonathan was easy to reach and very responsive. We had a wonderful stay and would happily stay here again.

This comfortable house has easy access to I5 and Bellingham via Old Samish Road. There is a small park on the lake not far from the property. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious. The comfortable living room provided beautiful views onto the lake. We appreciated Catrina's support and communication throughout our month's stay.

Peaceful

This property met all of our vacation needs. Loved how peaceful and quiet it was. The view of the lake from the deck was beautiful. A little bit of a drive to/from downtown Bellingham (20 min), but it’s so worth it for the price compared to locations that were closer.

This was the perfect stay for my family visiting Bellingham as my son graduated WWU. So peaceful and quiet. Felt rural but a close drive into Bellingham Morning coffee and evening sunsets overlooking the lake and next to the fire pit made the chilly mornings and evenings perfect. The interior of the house is immaculate and well appointed. Truly a place to make family memories. Thank you for the stay

Fabulous property

What a beautiful property with an amazing view. Everything you need is provided here. The quiet cozy neighborhood lets you get away from the busy city. The eagles resting in the trees is a plus. The deck is especially nice for sitting and enjoying a meal or just relaxing by the fire. We will definitely book again when visiting the area.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry there was confusion during your stay. To clarify, while there is a hot tub located on the property, it is not offered as a guest amenity and is not listed in our VRBO amenities or shown in any listing photos. Regarding heating, the home is equipped with a high-efficiency mini-split system that provides both heating and air conditioning throughout the unit. Operating instructions are included in the welcome packet, and we are always happy to assist guests if questions arise during their stay. We appreciate your comments and will review our guest information to see if we can make these details even clearer for future visitors.

Classy place by a lake

We absolutely were impressed with the house, which was clean, well decorated, an amazing kitchen with updated appliances, comfortable beds and a wonderful view of the lake and hills. We had no problems at all and we felt lucky to have had a sunny day, but even on the rainy days it was beautiful. The deck is massive and we dined outside two nights. This is a great place for a getaway for friends, families, or romance. I rent vrbo places 4 to 5 times per year, and this was one of my favorites. I plan to stay again in the future.

Beautiful setting with an amazing view

This home was perfect for my husband, adult son, and I. We were here a week and enjoyed breakfast on the lovely deck every morning, taking in the lake’s beauty. The host has amazing binoculars and we so enjoyed all the birds! Especially the hummingbirds!!! The home is stocked with everything you might need. Unlike most rentals, the art and furnishings make it feel more resort like than a rental. Host was super helpful and gave us permission for a small gathering to celebrate a family member’s graduation. The spacious kitchen and living area combined with the huge deck gave us a place where all felt comfortable to sit and linger. We enjoyed the fire pit on the deck, making evenings very special.
