  • Nov 24, 2024 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. Collin Roesler
  • Oct 10, 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 06, 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
  • Jun 28, 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 18, 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 13, 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
  • May 24, 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 24, 2022 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.
