About this property

Quiet Farm Stay with Private Hot Tub, Open Skies, and Room to Breathe

Welcome to The Little Farmhouse at Oostema Farmstead, a cozy one-bedroom stay on our 117-acre working Wagyu cattle farm in Lynden, Washington.

This is the kind of place people come to finally exhale.

Wake up to open skies, quiet mornings, and cattle grazing in the distance. Spend the day exploring Whatcom County, then come back to peaceful evenings, sunset walks down the farm lane, and a hot tub soak under the stars.

Whether you’re escaping the city for the weekend or simply craving a slower pace, the Little Farmhouse was made for guests who appreciate quiet, comfort, and room to breathe.

This is a real working farm, not a staged experience. During your stay, you may see cattle, farm equipment, and normal day-to-day farm life around the property.

Guests are also welcome to shop our small on-site farm store featuring Oostema Wagyu beef raised right here on the farm. You can even request a private shopping time with Lisa during your stay.

Grab a steak, head back to the Farmhouse, and cook dinner just steps from where it was raised.

Take evening walks down the quiet farm lane, watch sunsets over the pasture, enjoy the fire pit, or simply sit outside and enjoy the slower rhythm of farm life.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Oostema

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Glen and Lisa. We own and operate Oostema Farmstead, a working Wagyu farm just outside Lynden, Washington.

We live here, care for the land and cattle, and personally look after the guest spaces. Our hosting style is simple and hands-on. You’ll have your own space and privacy, and we won’t hover. If you need something, we’re nearby and responsive.

Our stays are designed for adults who value peace, quiet, and a slower pace.

We’ve been welcoming guests since 2016, and it still makes us smile how many people find their way here from all over the country (and beyond). If you’re looking for a stay that feels like a real exhale… you’re in the right place.

Why they chose this property

We built the Little Farmhouse right here on our working farm, custom-designed by Glen and me, so it’s truly one-of-a-kind. After hosting in our first place (the apartment) we learned exactly what guests needed for a comfortable, peaceful stay, and we built this farmhouse with that in mind: privacy, quiet, and all the little details that make it easy to settle in and exhale.
