After a day out and about, you can curl up on the sofa with a good book, stream a favorite movie on the smart TV, and flip on the gas fireplace for some added warmth and coziness.
The kitchen is equipped with every essential, including stainless steel appliances and an eat-in dining table. After dinner each evening, head downstairs to the den to find another gas fireplace, another smart TV, and access to the backyard and patio.

Our kids are in college in Bellingham, this is a convenient, pet friendly location. There are three bedrooms upstairs that sleep 3, tops 4 people and then a day bed and a couch downstairs that are comfortable for sleeping. We could never get the main floor fireplaces to work, but the electric heater works. There is not a fenced yard, but the neighborhood is nice for short little dog walks. Convenient location to Western Washington U.

Nice place, quiet and near town.
The area was quiet, had a deer walking on the street and we could get into town in 5 minutes
We stayed two nights for a concert and honestly wish we would have stayed longer. Quiet location, very clean, easy check in, and comfortable beds. Would stay again.
Great place, great layout, great location. There was ants in the bedrooms though and the bathtub was dangerously slippery.

Stayed during a home remodel
The home had all the basic necessities and met our needs. The neighborhood was nice and quiet.
Enjoyed the house - it was perfect for our visit with our WWU student and pet. Neighborhood was friendly and quiet. Only wish was that there was more than one pod of coffee!

Perfect Getaway for 4
My wife, sister, and sister’s fiancée travelled up from Tacoma to celebrate mine and my sister’s birthday and this space was perfect. It was close enough to downtown so we could explore, but far enough to be quiet and comfortable for us to retreat to and enjoy each other’s company. I would stay here again.
This was a great property! We had plenty of space and privacy for all 6 of us. The house was well maintained and clean when we showed up. The gas stoves were a nice touch too. If we are looking for place to stay again, this is very high on the list!
This house is cute and has 4 beds, what a deal! It’s in a quiet neighborhood and it was lovely to watch the baby deer in the backyard. Very relaxing and peaceful.
We enjoyed the space. It was quiet and well furnished. Our only complaint is there were some ants coming out of the walls and the keycode to get in was a bit long. But, overall we had a relaxing time.

We had a great time!
The house was great, super location and there was surprisingly a lot more space than we thought. It met all our needs and was a perfect place for our family.
A few people mentioned this also, but the beds are a bit firm ... but we all still slept well. Overall, we were very happy with the house!
Super location for getting everywhere!!! Great pillows and plenty of towels sheets etc. minimally appointed- so bring some cards. All appliances work and are clean. Beautiful neighborhood and quiet

Beautiful, spacious and private
This home had plenty of room for everyone. We didn’t need all of the bedrooms, but if we did, it would have been perfect.
We were able to see the northern lights from the front of the house even!
If we ever need a house again while visiting Bellingham, this will be the place!
Great house for the price. At this price the lack of amenities and cleanliness was easy to overlook. Very got our money worth

Solid
The house is great, close to town and all of Bellingham. It’s a solid 3 stars. The mattresses are extremely firm. Some folks like firm mattresses some like em soft, I think this home would benifit from something in the middle.

Thank you for your feedback, John! We're glad you enjoyed the house and its location. We appreciate your input about the mattresses and will consider your suggestion for a more balanced option. We hope to welcome you back for an even better experience!
We rented this home to have Easter weekend. My girls live in the area and we didn't want to overrun their apartment. It was a very nice home in a quiet neighborhood and close to everything. Lake Padden has nice trails and we walked around the lake. It was a nice stay.

Convenient and comfortable
The house was sufficient for our needs. We were visiting our daughter at Western and the home is conveniently located and had ample space for our family. The yard was great for our dog and the neighborhood felt safe. The house had the basic amenities, nothing exceptional.
