A home unlike any other you will know. This newly refurbished craftsman features a New York style loft above an open timberframe living space, perfect for hosting friends and family. Ten minute walking distance to downtown, WWU and 9 breweries.
This house is equipped with two full sized bathrooms, three bedrooms with three brand new queen size sleeping mattresses. Ability to sleep two additional guests only upon request. Enjoy your most unique stay!
This is a custom designed home by an artist for artists - there is a story in every nook. It is a home intended to share with creatives and humans who appreciate and respect one another.
Please examine the photos and review the room descriptions including the sleeping arrangements for beds. There is one bathroom and two bedrooms on the main floor and a bathroom and bedroom on the second floor. The piano moved out last summer but the guitars are all for you to play
We look forward to hosting you!
Guests will have access to the entire house, free on street parking, and an opportunity to use the back porch and deck. Plenty of onsite and secure storage for bikes and SUPs.
Other things to note: This isn't a party house - it is a house of peace, love and art. Strict no party policy and your damage deposit reflects that. Thank you for respecting in advance.
The floors have been beautifully refinished and this is a now officially a shoes off house.
No Smoking of any kind. No pets.
Please also respect that this is a small community and my neighbors and I are close. There is a studio on the property in which we occasionally stay and or host a guest in town. This is a stand alone space on the property and not connected to the house.

About the host
Hosted by Nick Hartrich
I've lived in Bellingham 26 years, and have been hosting friends and family for all occasions. I treat every guest like a family member and welcome you to reach out for any local tips on how to explore this wonderful community.
Why they chose this property
This home is in a historic neighborhood in Bellingham, located between the University, adjacent to a 200-acre arboretum, and walking distance to downtown. There is an adorable park at the end of our block. The Whole Foods Market and our Community Food Co-Op are both under 1 mile away. There are EV Fast Chargers all over town, including at the two above mentioned grocery stores.
What makes this property unique
This home was hand-built by me and is a very unique type of stay. Most guests fall in love as soon as they walk through the door but you'll have to see for yourself!
The home uses 100% renewable energy generated from solar during summer and energy credits during the winter. There is plenty of heat for the house with a natural gas stove and additional electric heating in most rooms. During the hottest days of summer, the house is passively cooled - meaning it cools itself by opening all the windows at night and closing them during the day. There is no AC unit in this house, but we rarely need that in the Pacific Northwest.
