This was a fabulous property and location for privacy and close proximity to town as well as outdoor areas for hiking. I would come back hands down. Great hot tub and sauna.

We loved our stay. The house is super comfortable and the hosts have really thought about all the big and little ways to make their guests comfortable. We loved the sauna and cold plunge with the jacuzzi. Such a treat. The house is beautiful and well kept. We would definitely come back.

Thank you for your kind words. We’re glad you found the house comfortable and enjoyed the sauna, cold plunge, and jacuzzi. It means a lot to hear you appreciated the space and would like to return. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Wonderful cabin close to amenities. Incredibly quiet, clean, private and comfortable. I appreciated the AC and fans in both bedrooms. Ample parking and very easy access and check in. We enjoyed our stay!
The property was impeccably clean and well organized. What a cozy and beautiful little cottage nestled in the trees. If you are looking for a place to exhale, this is it! The hosts were amazing, assisting all along the way even with items that were above and beyond. While we never needed any assistance, we always knew they were there if we needed them. The kitchen was wonderfully appointed and equipped and everything worked perfectly. It felt like a cabin deep in the woods while we were ony 15 mins from all the restaurants and other businesses and attractions in Bellingham. The deer outside in the mornings were an added treat. This is a great spot. We will definitely be coming back.

Thank you, Mary, for your valuable feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the amenities. Your suggestions about the hand railing and dressers are appreciated, and we'll certainly look into them. We hope to welcome you back soon!
An absolutely charming cabin in a lovely area. It served as the perfect home base to visit friends, it's close to several outdoor adventures, and a great vibe for chilling with a movie at night.
Although raining nonstop, the cozy home was a perfect refuge. The woodstove was crackling, the kitchen was well stocked and hearing the rain on the roof was lulling.
We stayed at this property for a quick family getaway with our newborn baby, the kitchen was well stocked for us to cook in, the washer/dryer was an awesome added amenity with a newborn who goes through multiple outfits a day, and we loved having some relaxing time in the hot tub after bedtime! The property was even better than the listing showed, we’d absolutely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay and this place. Beautiful area, lots to do, great mountain biking, found a wonderful spa in Ferndale (Flow Motion), and everything we needed - washer/dryer, cooking items, comfy beds and linens, all great!
We had a great and relaxing time! Kitchen is well stocked and home is clean inside and out. We were able to operate the grill and hot tub easily. Would definitely stay again!
We loved this cabin. It's beautifully updated, with nice, careful features. It's conveniently located near excellent hiking and water sports opportunities; as well as a small grocery and a couple of restaurants. We will be back!
the property was absolutely fabulous! we loved the hot tub, surrounded by trees with gorgeous sunlight filtering in. the place is pet pet friendly and has treats, bowls, and a dog bed, so thoughtful! we will absolutely be coming back :)
We had a great long weekend stay at the cabin. It was very well appointed with everything we needed to cook and be comfortable. The hot tub was very clean and ready to use. It is in a residential neighborhood about a 15-20 minute drive from town but was very quiet and felt like a true get away. I would book again!
This cozy, A frame cabin had everything we needed for a getaway for some R&R. The hot tub on the deck was wonderful and offering all the TV streaming options, plenty of towels, cookware and supplying cider, hot cocoa etc was a lovely touch. We’d love to stay again!
The property is just as is pictured. A beautiful A-frame in the woods with a nice hot tub on the back deck. Really close to town for groceries and close to the lake for a cold plunge. We hiked and hot tubbed and had a wonderful time
For anyone wanting to experience the Pacific Northwest vibe, this cozy little cabin in a quiet, wooded, hillside community is the place to stay. Feels remote but only a short drive alongside a serene mountain lake to and from all the places to eat and things to do in and around Bellingham. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. The hosts are very attentive and accommodating.
6 great days! excellent appliances and linen/bedding, well equipped kitchen and "Hot-Tub"; First choice rental when returning to Bellingham...my son and family live in Bellingham...we live in Ohio
