Fantastic Family-Friendly Home on the Lake

We loved our weekend on Lake Whatcom! A few friends and their kids stayed for the weekend while the ladies did Ski to Sea, and the home was the perfect landing place for us. It was so comfy and the beach and paddleboard access were a delightful bonus. This is a wonderful family/friends gathering spot!

Great family vacation home!

This is a great place to stay, especially for families with young children. We enjoyed the deck and propane heater for chilly nights and had lots of fun with the water toys at the beach. It's a great location near Lake Whatcom Park. We had a great time picking blackberries on the property and nearby!

Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Lake Whatcom is beautiful. We hiked to a waterfall and look advantage of the paddleboards and kayaks provided by the host. The home was perfect for our family gathering. Plenty of board games for the evening and ample kitchenware for family to all be together. Perfect configuration of beds to accommodate all ages.

Great stay at cute lake house

We had a fabulous time at this sweet lake house. The home was well stocked and had everything we needed. Gorgeous view are to be had from the deck and upstairs rooms. Beds were comfy and everything was clean. The weather was not warm enough for us to take advantage of the lake toys but we still had a great time.

Great house on Lake Whatcom

This house totally met our expectations. It was the perfect set up for 2 families to vacation together. We loved all the kayaks, paddleboards, and other water sports equipment that was available. All we brought was food and clothes; everything else we needed was already there. We would definitely book this place again!

A Lakeside Retreat

This place exceeded our expectations. Pictures and descriptions so not so it justice. The space and view are amazing. We planned some day trips but promptly cancelled them once we saw what the place had to offer. Communication was great as well. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
