This four-bedroom, three-bathroom home sleeps up to nine guests and offers the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and artistic flair—ideal for families, couples, and remote workers looking to explore the Pacific Northwest from a stylish and convenient base.

What We Love About The Black Squirrel in Fairhaven by Gather:
* Unbeatable location with trail access and walkability to downtown Fairhaven
* Variety of sleeping options including a Cal King suite and sofa sleeper
* Covered outdoor dining area with picnic table and patio heaters
* Art-filled interiors with board games, books, and creative spaces
* Easy access to Chuckanut Mountains, Boulevard Park, and Bellingham Bay

Interior Overview
The home’s welcoming layout unfolds across two thoughtfully appointed levels. The main living space features high ceilings, expansive windows, eclectic furnishings, and a cozy lounge area with a large TV—ideal for group gatherings. The fully equipped kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, butcher-block countertops, and a spacious island with four barstools. Nearby, a dining table with four chairs and a bench comfortably seats six to seven guests.

On the main floor, the GALBRAITH room doubles as a media lounge with a queen sofa sleeper, smart TV, ceiling fan, and mini split A/C. Just down the hall, the PADDEN room serves as a cozy library-inspired sleeping space with a twin bed and garden views. Upstairs, the ARROYO room offers a full-size bed in a peaceful, light-filled setting. The BAKER suite features a queen bed, ceiling fan, mini split A/C, and an en suite bath with a shower/tub combination. The SHUKSAN primary suite boasts a Cal King bed, vaulted ceilings, an en suite bathroom with a pedestal soaking tub and walk-in shower, ceiling fan, and mini split A/C.

For added convenience, the home includes a printer/scanner, stackable washer/dryer on the main level, tankless water heater, and off-street parking for three vehicles (two in the alley-access driveway and one in front of the home).

Outdoor Living
Enjoy meals al fresco beneath the covered patio, complete with a picnic table, bistro seating, and patio heaters—perfect for every season. Lush trees and a creekside setting provide peaceful seclusion just steps from neighborhood trails.

Location & Nearby Attractions
Walk to shops, cafés, and bookstores in downtown Fairhaven, or explore the waterfront at Boulevard Park and Marine Park. The home is minutes from hiking and biking in the Chuckanut Mountains and an easy drive to downtown Bellingham, Mt. Baker, Vancouver, or Seattle.
