A Lakeside Oasis

A gorgeous, accommodating space with a fantastic view of Lake Whatcom. Ashley was quick to respond and very helpful. The property had everything we needed and even came with SUPs, kayaks, and a canoe! We had a blast enjoying the nice sunny weather out on the lake. Would love to stay again.

Lovely home, couple small issues. Overall recommend

Great stay overall! Really beautiful home and property. We would stay here again and recommend to friends. Host communicated well. Only small issues were that there were some sticky spills on the ground when we arrived and 2 of the beds were a bit uncomfortable. The couches however were exceptionally comfortable!

Best end of summer lake vacay!

Our groups of six adults and four teens loved our long weekend at the lake. House is perfect for gathering families - plenty of space, huge kitchen, gorgeous deck, great TV/Game room. Lake, dock and yard were excellent for long days in our bathing suits in and out of the water.

Not only was the home super clean and the water views spectacular, but Ashley was super communicative and flexible throughout the entire process. We highly recommend!!

Fabulous Stay

We had an absolute blast! The house was perfect for our large family of adults, teens and kids. There was ample space for 10 people. The variety of activities available on the property kept everyone entertained. Ashley was incredibly accommodating and responded quickly to questions we had. We celebrated Thanksgiving while here, and the large kitchen had everything we needed. Two ovens and two dishwashers were added bonuses. The lake views from the house were amazing, and lake access was easy. We highly recommend this property!

Absolute perfection across the board!

We rented this house to celebrate my birthday with friends/their kiddos. Ashley was incredibly responsive and accommodating, the perfect VRBO hostess. The house is even better than advertised - very stocked and we honestly just wanted to move in. We will absolutely be back, as I said in the title this house is perfection across the board. Thank you for everything Ashley - until we meet again! :)

Family Thanksgiving Gathering

Our family all gathered at this home for the week of Thanksgiving. The property was as described in the listing. We were able to prepare our usual favorites in the kitchen and we did not have to purchase a lot of extras. The kitchen was well-appointed. The weather was uncharacteristically sunny and beautiful so the location on the lake was an added bonus. There were additional touches that we have not found in other homes that we have rented: there was hand soap in every bathroom, plenty of paper towels and toilet paper, as well as laundry and dishwasher soap. We will definitely consider staying here again next year!

Beautiful lake house

This property was one that we got for friends and family to stay in for our wedding. It was absolutely stunning, and only about 20 minutes from downtown Bellingham. The house inside and out is beautiful. It was clean, bright and had great areas to hang out in. They have many many towels for guests, but they are in the towel closet if you are looking for them! And there is only one key, so if you have a big party, make sure to connect with who has the key at all times. It was peaceful and quiet as well, and we made sure to be quiet to respect our quiet neighbors as well. The host was very accommodating and we will definitely be staying here again. Just a lovely experience.

Wonderful lakeside property

We were a group of 4 couples (+ babies) and really appreciated the larger rooms that easily accommodated pack n plays and having our own bathrooms. The house is as it looks in the photos, fantastic! We were very lucky with the weather in mid October so were able to make the most of the lakeside location and all the water toys available. The house literally has everything you could want for a weekend at the lake. We basically didn’t leave the property which was ideal with the babies all on different nap schedules. Ashley was very responsive and super helpful accommodating our request for a late check out to help time our drive back to Canada with naps. Would absolutely recommend the property and we’d love to come back. Thanks Ashley!

Beautiful home and property in a great location.

My 3 adult children with their spouses, and my husband all enjoyed this property very much. The lakeside location with easy access to the lovely town of Bellingham was excellent. The lake was clean and clear. The house was incredibly clean (we were asked to remove our shoes in the house and our feet stayed absolutely clean!) spacious, well appointed and in excellent repair. It was, for the most part updated and well decorated. The kitchen was well equipped and the appliances were in good working order and clean. There were fun water toys, paddle boards, row boat, life jackets, yard games, plenty of seating indoor and out. We really couldn’t have asked for more. Every time we thought, ‘I wonder if they have…’, they did! If I had any thoughts for the owner/management it would be that the smaller bedrooms could use a refresh as could the mattresses-but this is only a minor critique. We were all quite comfortable.

Exquisite Views of Lake Whatcom

The moment we walked into the home the views from the kitchen and dining space were captivating! Such a perfect home for all ages. The deck was huge and comfy with outdoor furniture, a wonderful hot tub, and table and chairs. The weather was not as warm as we hoped during graduation weekend but the polar plunge into Lake Whatcom was still possible with the hot tub. The weather and winds prohibited our using the canoe, kayaks and paddle boards but all the water toys are a generous addition to family fun. There are plenty of games to entertain the family as well as a separate Theater room. We absolutely loved the home, and the spaciousness of the main bedroom and bathroom with an incredible soaking tub. The other 3 bedrooms had their own bathrooms and the theater room was great for older kids to sleep (and play foosball and air hockey.) We would love to come back to enjoy more outdoor water activities. We all felt relaxed and peaceful while enjoying the exquisite views from most of the rooms. Such a memorable Trifecta Weekend of activities celebrating a college graduation, a 44th wedding anniversary and Father’s Day! Perfect home for all families. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Sawyer

I was raised in Bellingham and spent my youth and now adulthood enjoying all the things the Pacific Northwest has to offer. The endless outdoor recreation possibilities are what keep me coming back here time and time again. There’s always something for everyone, and I love being able to share that experience with visitors, friends, and family. I’ve traveled the world, and still maintain there’s nothing like this special corner of our planet.

Why they chose this property

Growing up in Bellingham, I dreamed of one day having a home on Lake Whatcom. The first time I walked in the front door of this property I knew it would be a special place to share with anyone looking to create special memories with a spectacular backdrop.
