Loved the setting and the artwork inside and outside the house! The appliances were having some challenges, but we were comfortable and had a wonderful, beautiful, relaxing stay. We appreciated the thoughtful touches provided by the host.

Needs to be updated. Inside and outside need better cleaning. Lake equipment was available and worked well.
This spot was great, we loved the balcony and the lake access. It was fun that they had so many board games and floaties and kayaks. Only downsides is that the dishwasher and kitchen light don’t work. But we made do! Fun weekend!
Kitchen was fully equipped. Deck was very pleasant to sit and listen to birds and enjoy your coffee. Lake was closed for fishing which was not what we thought so we went to a different lake for our fishing. Lots of stairs up to residence.
Great location, and nice decks and porches to enjoy the lake view. Comfortable beds, and well equipped kitchen. Very responsive owners when we had questions or any issues. It is an older property, with a few things that need fixing (and owners said they are working on them) - kitchen overhead lights not working, and a faulty septic alarm. Upstair loft has small bathroom (watch your head!) but very convenient, and also a nice deck and a working PacMan video kiosk! Fairly convenient to Bellingham, yet you feel like you are out in the woods on a quiet lake. If you are in the upstairs unit (like we were) be ready for a lot of stairs to get up to the unit (good exercise). Tight parking out front, but it worked. We didn't have time to use the kayaks, but it looked easy to get them out on the lake, and it would have been fun.
Very spacious chalet facing the lake with a big balcony and almost everything you need. Great place for a family to stay for a couple nights. We have had a great time here.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciate you taking the time to write a review.
Perfect stay! Property was everything we had hoped it would be and had everything we needed. Close enough to hiking and exploring, but also nice and secluded to spend our afternoons hanging out at the lake! The kids loved the inflatables and kayaking.
It’s like visiting grandmas house- nostalgic, cozy, but neglected. The house is very cute, directly on the lake with private dock. Dock house is well stocked with plenty of kayaks, paddles, fishing gear (use worms and you’ll catch endless pumpkin fish right off the dock), and floaties for everyone to have a good time. The lake is GREAT FUN! Warm and small enough for no power vehicles, so the kids are safe to wander. The house is quaint Very cabin feeling and eclectic decor inside Well stocked and mostly clean.The house definitely feels like neglected rental. Which is a shame because it has so much potential. I alerted the host of a few of the issues we first noticed upon arrival including- lights in kitchen don’t work (had to cook with my iPhone light), dishwasher was broken, pull out bed was broken (host had mentioned and said there was a blow up bed in the closet to use instead), the chair seats on the balcony were worn threw they would almost give way. When I messaged the host, her response could have been interpreted as sarcastic and indifferent to the issues. But she did offer us an immediate check out with refund. The deck was covered in grease stains around the grill, and I’m pretty sure there is mold on the ceiling of the only bathroom with a shower. I have stayed in many house rentals, and most hosts seem to take great pride in providing a wonderful experience for their guests. KIDS LOVED THE LAKE. Hubby says we'd come back, but im not as sure.
We really enjoyed our stay at the chalet. It was wonderful to be tucked into the woods with a lovely lake where we swam, kayaked and enjoyed the sn. We highly recommend staying here.

We rented both units for our multi-generational family group for 2 nights in April. Had the most beautiful weather and enjoyed all the lake activities (boating, fishing, etc.). We would love to come back again!
