  • Jan 24, 2025 Incredibly clean and comfortable! Location was perfect for having access to town as well as groceries. A nice neighborhood with road side parking for our three vehicles. The house was spacious. Kitchen well stocked and the beds were so comfortable. We would have enjoyed the yard as well had we had more free time. The kids loved the stock of puzzles, legos and bathtub!! This beautiful character home was perfect for multiple families coming together to enjoy in the festivities of Bellingham. We will definitely return! Tiffany Loney
  • Dec 23, 2024 Well-stocked kitchen, comfortable home with lots of amenities like tissues (Kleenex) and toiletries and plenty of towels. No tv downstairs if that is important to you. One main tv upstairs, although there is one setup in a closet area as a gaming area. If you have someone in your party who wants to game, that would be a plus. One shower upstairs, both upstairs and downstairs bathrooms have a tub. Loved the artwork and craftsman style. Quiet neighborhood, felt very safe. Of the three bedrooms, one is clearly setup for children with shorter twin beds and a Lego table, and isn’t suitable for most adults given the bed length. The trash cans are in the alley past the backyard, which meant tromping through a muddy yard and fighting the gate to open up to access the cans. That and the heat defaulting to the 50’s were our only negatives. We’ve stayed in a lot of VRBO’s and this was one that made the list of ones we would use again. Aesthetically (furnishings and artwork) probably the best we’ve stayed in. We were visiting our son for Christmas and made light use of the kitchen, but this house would be very high on my list if I wanted a place with a stocked kitchen to bake or cook. Melanie Jones

  • Mar 20, 2024 Amazing Place This was an amazing place to stay in Bellingham. We were here with three elementary school kiddos and the house is perfect for that. Fun old-school video games. Lots of toys upstairs. The kitchen is really well equipped with all the cooking supplies you could ever need, making it a great place to stay for a longer stay. We were only there three nights so didn't cook a ton but it would have been really easy to do so. Very clean. Awesome neighborhood close to everything in town. If we visit again we'll definitely stay here. Jeff
