Worked for us attending a wedding in Bellingham. I didn’t really look at the picture of the stairs and being 80 years old that that’s a bit of a challenge but we managed fine and had what we needed.

Thank you for staying with us, and I'm glad it worked well for the wedding.

This lovely space is perfect for 1-2 people. It is tucked into a quiet neighborhood, which is filled with beautiful trees, ferns, and walking paths. It is located on a dead-end street, and parking can be a bit tight, but it is conveniently located adjacent to the property. Torrey is wonderful to communicate with.

We traveled with a pet so the proximity of this property to walking trails was a plus! We used this property as a home base to sleep and it fit our needs perfectly. The accommodation were clean and well cared for. The host provided a lot of small conveniences like coffee/tea, shampoo/conditioner/bodywash which was much appreciated. The host was attentive during our stay and communicated with us daily to make sure we had what we needed.

Nice location and vibe for the price. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The entire unit was very clean and easy to access. The master bed was a king and very comfortable. The pull-out bed in the living room is a double, but it has a large gap down the middle, so it feels more like a twin. The apartment was well appointed, and everything worked. This unit is on the ground floor, and there is another unit above, so when people enter or exit the property, they go right past your window. As well, you hear everything in the upstairs apartment, from talking to television to people stomping on the floor. The stairs to access the unit from the street are quite steep and may be challenging for the elderly or people with disabilities. We loved the location and relaxing on the deck.

Thanks for staying with us! Glad the deck turned into your spot to unwind. The listing notes both the sound between the upper and lower units and that the sofa bed is sized for small children rather than adults, so guests can plan their sleeping setup before booking. Hope to see you again 🍃 -Torrey

Beautiful home, in extremely quiet neighborhood, surrounded by mature trees. Host was quick to answer my questions befoe and after check in. Fully stocked kitchen including a dual door air fryer. All bathroom necessities, and extra towels. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Large deck, parking right in front, and a neighborhood trail at the end of the cul-de-sac. Being a dog friendly home is the icing on this cake. Cheddar, my dog, and I will definitely be back!Kaci

Great little spot!

Overall this was a great stay. The listing was accurate and the space clean. It’s downstairs from another rental so we could hear some footsteps overhead but not too noisy. Nice shower with plenty of pressure and hot water. TV requires registering with an Amazon account but we were able to deregister it easily before leaving. Only issue we had was with check in: the information was not sent over from Vrbo but thankfully the host was responsive and we were able to get into the unit after waiting only a few minutes.
