Winter Escape | Hot Tub + Cozy Nights

🍂 The Little Farmhouse – Your Private Country Retreat at Oostema Farmstead

Wake up to a quieter kind of morning. Winter on the farm is peaceful, crisp air, soft light, and wide-open views that make you breathe a little deeper. Sip something warm while the day slowly wakes up over our 117-acre working Wagyu cattle farm, with nothing on your agenda but rest, nature, and a true break from the noise.

At the Little Farmhouse on Oostema Farmstead, you’re not just staying somewhere, you’re slowing down and reconnecting with what matters.

Escape to a quieter rhythm of life.
The Little Farmhouse at Oostema Farmstead is your private, one-bedroom retreat set in the heart of our peaceful 117-acre Wagyu cattle farm. Perfect for adults seeking space, calm, and comfort, without the crowds or chaos of hotels.

Watch the morning light from your patio with a warm drink in hand. Soak in your private hot tub while the cold air swirls around you. Cook with Wagyu raised right here on the land you’re staying on.

Watch the sunrise from your patio with a warm drink in hand and nothing on the agenda. Soak under the stars in your private hot tub. Cook with Wagyu raised right here on the land you're staying on.

Why This Place Feels Different
- Guest-only hot tub (reserve your time slot)
- Full kitchen with essentials for farm-fresh meals
- On-site farm store with Oostema Wagyu, eggs, bacon & more
- Cozy queen bed with premium linens
- Peaceful views, private entrance, easy parking

Inside the Farmhouse

Step into a warm, thoughtfully prepared space, especially welcoming after a winter day out. The queen bed is made with soft, premium bedding. The full kitchen is ready for slow breakfasts or a home-cooked dinner. The living area invites you to stretch out, curl up, or simply be still.

There’s no rushing here, just space to unwind at your own pace.

Outside Is Yours to Explore
Start your morning with coffee on the patio and fresh country air. Take a peaceful walk around open pasture and farm views. In winter, the farm feels extra still and quiet, perfect for slowing your mind down and letting the day move at a gentler pace.

Your farmhouse includes a private entrance and a dedicated parking spot just steps from the door.

Hot Tub + Farm Store
The hot tub is open daily from 8am to 10pm, with extended hours available by request. After booking, we’ll send you a link to reserve your private soak time under the stars.

During your stay, swing by our small on-site farm store. It’s stocked with Oostema Wagyu beef, sausage, and fresh eggs, raised and packaged right here on the farm, plus other local favorites.

What to Bring
The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and cooking essentials, so you don’t need to bring anything but your favorite ingredients. Forgot something? Just ask, we’re nearby and happy to help.

Pet Policy
We welcome one well-behaved dog under 50 lbs with prior approval and a pet fee. Dogs must be kept leashed, quiet, off the furniture, and supervised at all times. Please add your pet to the reservation to view the fee and confirm approval.

To Book
Please include the code word “FARMSTEAD” in your message. This confirms you’ve read the listing in full and agree to the house rules. A short rental agreement may be sent before arrival for your peace of mind.

The Farmstead Experience
Oostema Farmstead is a real, working Wagyu farm. You will meet the Wagyu cattle, guests enjoying their own quiet corner, or hear the occasional hum of farm life, but things here stay peaceful and low-key.

We host other guests too, but it never feels crowded. There’s plenty of space to explore, or just stay tucked into your little haven.

Stay Longer, Unwind Deeper
The longer you stay, the more you’ll enjoy. Guests who book 3 nights or more receive added value, more time to soak, more meals made with Wagyu, more quiet mornings with nothing to do.

Discounts are applied automatically when you enter your dates.

Your Hosts
We’re Glen and Lisa, your hosts and the folks behind Oostema Farmstead and Oostema Wagyu. We’ve welcomed over 4,000 guests worldwide and would love to welcome you too.

If you need anything, we live in the main farmhouse, but we’ll always respect your space and you're quiet.

When you’re ready to trade noise for stillness, we’ll be right here, warm house, open skies, and Wagyu ready for you to grill.

We’d love to host you here, located just outside Lynden, Washington, our farm stay experience offers peaceful accommodations and award-winning beef direct from the source.

Serenity

This thoughtfully equipped house was squeaky clean and cute as a button. The surroundings were soothing to the soul. It may be my favorite BNB so far. One thing I particularly appreciated was the absence of odor from cleaning products or essential oils. I have asthma and use a CPAP machine. Those odors trigger my asthma and leave my CPAP machine so stinky that I have to replace the hose and mask. But not this time! It was clean but not stinky clean!

Prepare to be amazed because our stay exceeded all expectations! The farmstead is a true gem, meticulously cared for and breathtakingly beautiful. Every inch was immaculately clean, and the backdrop of the majestic Cascades adds to the enchantment. Experience unparalleled tranquility and serenity; every minute here was pure bliss, and leaving was the last thing on our minds. The owners radiate warmth and friendliness, making you feel right at home with their kind energy. We're already planning our return trip, and we strongly urge anyone seeking a serene, picturesque escape to discover this idyllic haven of nature and farm life!

Ultimate in Cozy Comfort!

Booked Lisa’s tiny farmhouse for an overnight away with some girlfriends, and we were SO impressed! Everything was spotless, comfortable, and well-stocked - really can’t stress how high-end this little getaway felt! Both the bed and pullout couch air bed were comfortable, the shower had endless hot water and came with shampoo/conditioner/body wash/hairdryer, and the kitchen had everything we needed to make our own meals (even a gas range). The TV had Comcast channels as well as access to a Netflix account, so we had plenty to keep us entertained as the night went on. At one point when we thought one of the remotes might be low on batteries, Lisa was at our door within 5 minutes with a fresh pair! Aside from that requested visit, we felt that we had plenty of privacy and enjoyed the views from the house, watching cats explore the farm around us. We were so happy to find this gem and can’t wait for an opportunity come back; absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and comfortable place to stay!

Great people, cute house.

We had an unexpectedly chaotic weekend as our baby ended up needing to be rushed to the hospital ending our trip shorter than planned. During the chaos, Lisa and her husband, (and the other few guests on the property) were helpful, kind, and supportive. We did not expect to be cared for as we were, so luckily. As for the house, as advertised, it is TINY, but cute nonetheless. The advertisement didnt mention that the hottub was quite a ways(well like 200ft) from the tiny house and open facing, much closer to, their personal house and garage (was not as "private" as we expected). Also, there is LITERALLY no room for any of your things, like...nowhere in kitchen to unload dry foods, no where in bedroom to unload clothes, no where in bathroom to unload personal toiletries. And lastly, as much as the support during the scary times was nice, we weren't informed that we would have not just one, but ended up TWO trailers about 10-15ft from our tiny house of other guests of theirs. I believe they were relatives/personal guests and they were GREAT people, but still, it became even LESS private than it already was with their house a couple hundred feet away (so much for 70+ acres?). Also had a view of a 8ft pile of dirt/manure directly out the front door which was SUPER SMELLY. I wont lie, when we arrived on Friday evening, I was PRETTY irritated after being up close greeted by Lisa (so much for renting this place to quarantine) and not being aware that they LIVED SO CLOSE on site, and that there was the first of two trailers (clearly occupied) a handful of feet from ours, then got even more upset when we had to go (walk in the cold) all the way to the hottub that was much farther than we expected and falf fenced off TO FACE their home, not even the tiny house. Still, all in all, as I said, we ended up really appreciating and being lucky that Lisa and all the other people were on site with what happened, but I am kind of sad that I didn't feel like we got what we expected with "tiny house of a ton of acreage". I personally think if they updated the listing to tell more about the hot tub location/position, how close their home is to the tiny house that they live in, and that there may he other guests staying within 15ft of your front door, it would be more accurate. I also had kinda hoped we would have gotten a little bit of refund since we ended up staying in the hospital sat/sun but that's totally okay, would have just been helpful.

The Little Farmhouse worked well for our October visit. It was quiet, even though we shared the grounds with some RVs for some of the time. We especially enjoyed seeing a wide variety of birds out the front window; migrating geese, woodpeckers, bald eagles, and several others. Also, seeing the weather and sun playing withe top of Mt. Baker.The bed was comfortable, but, as the pictures show, there's almost nowhere to unpack clothes. Everything in the kitchen worked as it should, so we were able to cook most of our meals there. It took a couple days to figure out the heat; the bedroom has its own thermostat and radiator (near the ceiling, unfortunately). We turned it off at night because in the mornings it made a faint knocking sound that woke us up because there was pretty much no other sound to cover it. We enjoyed the farm-themed hardware.We were a little worried before the visit because there are quite a few restrictive rules. But it turns out that those are there in case guests cause problems for the other guests. If you're confident that you won't do that, then don't worry about the most restrictive rules. Lisa is very friendly in person, but not intrusive at all.

The Tiny House is an excellent property, clean, organized and nicely apportioned. Only surprise was the proximity of the campground to the property but besides when someone was setting up or breaking down camp, barely knew it was there.

The tiny house with big views

We brought our 6 and 8 year old nieces and dog to the Oostema Farmstead tiny house after a day exploring downtown Bellingham. What a great way to unwind. The views were gorgeous from this very well-designed and well-stocked "tiny" home. We loved exploring the farm and appreciated how private our spot was. We didn't make time to use the hot tub, but we checked it out and it was hot and clean! I highly recommend this spot for a great little getaway.

Excellent Stay

Rented to be in reasonably close proximity of Mt Baker for skiing as well as also to visit Bellingham. The little cabin is nice and clean and located on the other side of a farm property from the main house and farm. It has a view of the surrounding areas and came very well furnished. Also, you can pre-order items from the farm (ie breakfast foods). Would recommend.

It was a lovely tiny home with a well stocked kitchen to cook in. The tiny home was a great size for my partner and I. It was a great location to take day trips to Mt.
