Really well equipped delightfully cozy home in stunning lakeside and woodland neighborhood. Quiet location but only a short distance from downtown Bellingham and Whatcom Falls Park. Thoroughly recommended.

Very nice fully stocked and comfortable home. The TV set up was my only disappointment. There is no traditional cable box TV set up on the television. The set up is Apple TV. You must bring all your streaming apps with you to access any TV usage. The host was kind enough to set me up to use their NETFLIX (which I never used). There is no live TV except through an app that you are subscribed to. Otherwise, the location and accommodations are great.

137 books. There were books artistically placed throughout the house. The house was well decorated with art and antiques. It was very serene. The garden was peaceful. The neighborhood was quite and walkable. It was all very calming. Yet it was only 10 minutes from town.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely home over the Thanksgiving holiday. They had just done a holiday photo shoot and asked if we wanted them to leave the decorations up or take them down before our arrival. We opted in. When we walked into the home there were lights and a decorated tree and the table was set for a holiday dinner. It felt like walking into a relative's home. We were informed the night before our arrival that the furnace had given out. The hosts contacted us as soon as they realized this. The bought effective space heaters for every room and turned on the gas fireplace so that by the time we arrived it was warm. The following day (first business day), the repair team was on site before 8am. They had the furnace replaced in quick order. I really appreciated the transparency of the hosts; there were no surprises. We had a fabulous holiday, served a full Thanksgiving meal from the well outfitted kitchen, and experienced a wonderful vacation.

Apr 12, 2024 Cozy Home The home was very cozy and in the perfect location for our family as our relatives live nearby. The front garden was enchanting and peaceful. The home was lovely inside, it is the perfect place to snuggle down with a good book. The 2nd bedroom was pretty tight but worked for us. We enjoyed our stay. Danielle P.
Apr 12, 2024 Cute rental Cute rental near mountain biking trails. Saw deer and birds from porch Michael M.
Apr 12, 2024 Quiet Retreat Perfect blend of Bellingham cottage and modern amenities – kitchen and bathrooms are nicely upgraded. Lest than 15 minutes from Western Washington University and downtown Bellingham. The ideal retreat to brew some tea, read a book, take a walk near the lake, then drive into town for local beers and dining. Thank you! Trevor L.
May 03, 2024 The house was perfect for us - near our family, lake access, friendly neighbors, everything we needed or wanted. Susan Miller

Mar 18, 2024 What a beautiful cottage! We enjoyed our stay immensely - very comfortable. The place was clean and very well appointed. Would stay here again if we ever got the chance. Laurie Reed
Dec 06, 2023 My parents had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean, cozy, and had great ammenities. They also loved the neighborhood and proximity to beautiful Lake Whatcom. Emilie Litsinger
Jun 08, 2024 This house was perfect for what our group needed over the weekend. The kitchen had any utensil we would ever need for cooking or baking. It was in a quiet, safe neighborhood as well. The property management group was prompt in responding to my questions. Would stay here again! Mikayla Monroe

Oct 15, 2024 I was pleasantly surprised with my stay! I think the only disappointment was the bed. I was not the best and actually felt like a blow up mattress. I was as if it is very old and the springs collapsed. I would love to stay here again but would like to make sure the mattress is replaced before booking another trip. All in all, I really loved how comfortable the space was and the amount of kitchen tools and items was beyond any other home I have stayed in. The host was very helpful and kind and incredibly responsive. Alesse Bloom

Jul 18, 2024 Easy check in, great communication, lovey location, well stocked—splendid coffee station, books, yoga mats, and ample outdoor seating options. We would definitely come back. Highly recommend! Angeline Allen
Jul 07, 2024 We had a fantastic stay here. The house had everything we wanted. The kitchen space was great to cook meals and had all we needed. Very close lake access and the location was also very bikeable to downtown and Galbraith. The host was super responsive to any questions we had. We will be back! Meghan Valdes
Jun 22, 2024 Great location by Lake Geneva if you like to be away from the hustle and bustle. Still close to great shopping amenities like Whole Foods and Fred Meyer, but located in the upper-scale side of town. House had an abundance of amenities and most of the staples so you did not need to worry about buying olive oil and spices. Neighborhood was very quiet and the lake looked beautiful. Bellingham was a great city overall with lots to do and this was the cherry on top. Will definitely stay here again next time we come to visit friends. Joel Acord
Jun 21, 2024 Was in town for Son’s graduation from Western and wanted a place to gather for meals and relax/hang out. Lovely house on quiet street near Lake Whatcom. Backyard is charming and a great spot to sit outside for a meal when the weather cooperates. Kitchen is the best equipped of any house rental I have experienced. Claudia Hughes
Apr 22, 2024 Great location and very well set up. We will stay here again! Judith Morrison
