Enjoy your own private lake! Known for its cozy and quiet atmosphere, Cain lake is the perfect place to getaway and enjoy the beauty of nature and still be only 15 minutes from town (Bellingham or Burlington). You can fish bass or trout in this stocked lake or swim/paddle out on the calm water (no gas powered boats). Only ten minutes from Lake Samish or Lake Whatcom for water skiing/tubing which border champion golf courses. 45 minutes from the Tulalip Resort and Casino (Seattle Premium Outlets) and an hour to Seattle or Vancouver. Perfect for a week away with the family!

This property was great for our family, lots and lots of water toys and kayaks and a game room!
There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms.
The kitchen was well stocked and the views of the lake were gorgeous.
We saw eagles and the birdsongs were enchanting.
The house was perfect. Well-equipped with everything you could want. And the location is so lovely -right on the lake with a dock to sit on when the sun came out
Our son, daughter and 4 grandchildren had a great time, as did us grandfolks. There is a small beach area on a shallow part of the lake which was ideal for small children, and a floating dock with ladder for the grown-ups. Also, there was a nearby kid-friendly trail up a shallow wooded slope. We hope we can do this again next year.
We booked a couple days before arrival with no issues. The kitchen is well-equipped with a view of the lake while cooking. The spacious house had great spaces for relaxing for our family.
A wonderful experience to walk out the door and hop onto the paddleboard.
My family would book again.
Please note there are a lot of levels and stairs to get around the property… for those with any mobility concerns.
The pictures do not do this place justice. It is much bigger than it looks. Nice location and very quiet and peaceful. Short drive to Bellingham for a college town experience and close to some great day hikes with our dog. The nearest grocery store/country market is quite expensive and would recommend going to Bellingham for your groceries. We enjoyed our short staycation and would recommend to others without hesitation!
Fun stay at a beautiful lake house. Plenty of room for our extended family and guests. This house has everythingvyou need including a play area outfitted for the kids. Everyone enjoyed the selection of water toys for the lake!
Wonderful experience overall! Kitchen staples were readily available which was a wonderful surprise. The location in quiet and magical - we watched deer graze from the window :)
We enjoyed the location of the house, right on a lake with a beautiful view. The house was large enough for our family to have a comfortable relaxing vacation!
We really felt like we lucked out to find this little slice of heaven on the lake! Three of us went to Mountain Bike clinics during the day, and the rest of our friends did their own mountain biking at Galbraith, and it was great to end the day at the lake. My dog loves standing like a sentinel at the front of the paddle boards we brought. It was really helpful having the downstairs shower and baskets of towels everywhere.
We had everything we needed and had a fantastic weekend!
We loved our time at this home! It has been really nicely updated, and is very kid- and pet-friendly. Although the weather was chilly, our kids still had so much fun taking the water toys out on Cain Lake. It's an easy 15-minute drive to Bellingham along beautiful roads. We cooked almost all of our meals in the nicely-appointed kitchen (with a fun space-age oven!). When we were indoors, there were plenty of toys and books to keep the kids entertained.
We had such a comfortable stay in this home, and would love to visit again in the future.
We were looking for a relaxing weekend for our family and that is just what we found. We enjoyed being together by the fireplace, shooting some pool, playing board games and just relaxing watching the rain on the lake. We didn't let the weather slow us down though. Took the kayaks out on the lake and found areas to hike in nearby. The location was quiet and restorative.
The large home made it possible to spread out and provided plenty of space.
Great location just south of Bellingham and would love to return in the summer.
Enjoyed a relaxing with immediate family. Despite the on and off showers we loved kayaking, fishing and just hanging outside appreciating the view. Due to covid all meals were prepared in the kitchen including our traditional Thanksgiving meal.
Home away from home! Cozy and comfortable home away from home for our working vacation. We enjoyed our time in this spacious house with lots of room for everyone.
My family and I stayed here for a week and really enjoyed ourselves. The house was great and the lake was very enjoyable. The house had plenty of space for our party of 6 and an added bonus with the game room (pool table and bar). We all really enjoyed eating our meals with the amazing view of the lake from the wall of windows in the dining room. Elana (the owner) was awesome and very accommodating and great with communicating any concerns and or question I had. We will definitely be back for future stays.
We enjoyed this tucked away piece of heaven. A large house with upgrades and a lot of stairs. Well stocked kitchen. The dock is a great place to watch people come and go off the lake, bald eagles and fish! We would recommend this place for any and all.
Lovely spacious home right on the lake! Enjoyed the use of the paddle boat, paddle board and kayaks. Great for families, cozy home away from home.

About the host
Hosted by Joseph Vaupotic
I grew up an hour from Cain lake and spent summers at my aunt's place (the yellow house across from us). I dreamed of owning this house since I was a little girl and I am so happy to be able to take my kids for a swim and make new memories!
What makes this property unique
The house with three levels reminded us of a playhouse. We fell in love with it immediately. We could envision the pool table, lounging in the living room as the fog clears off the lake in the morning and having breakfast overlooking the water.
