The Chuckanut Trail Studio s a rustic-chic retreat literally steps from Bellingham's Interurban Trail & Larrabee State Park. It is conveniently located, on a quiet side street, off scenic Chuckanut Drive, and only a 3.5-mile drive or 20-minute bike ride to the Fairhaven Historic District. Locale specifically offers world class trail access for hiking and biking, boutique shops, galleries, microbreweries, entertainment/music venues, plus interesting farm to table dining options. Locatedalong the desirable south side of Bellingham, it is uniquely positioned close in to town amenities but rural enough to get back to nature along the Chuckanuts or Skagit Valley.

The charming detached, studio cottage, with loft, once an artist retreat, features views of Chuckanut Bay, nestled among Firs & Pacific Madrone trees, with private drive and convenient trail access. It is perfect for a couple’s romantic getaway, or a weekend of outdoor adventures the area is famous for: trail runs, dog walking, hiking Fragrance/Lost Lake, mountain biking the Ridge trail, or exploring the Salish Sea by kayak/boat. Snowboarding/skiing Mt. Baker is just over an hour drive, golf getaways at nearby Lake Padden, or mountain biking Chuckanut or Galbraith literally minutes away, or enjoy our many gastropubs/microbrews or local oysters. It is also a great location for families who are visiting nearby Western Washington University, Chuckanut Trails Studio is your ideal retreat for all seasons!

Coziness and warmth radiate from acacia hardwood floors, knotty cedar ceilings, gas-wood stove, stone and iron accents. Get creative with simple meals in your own gourmet galley, complete with gas cooktop, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, Nespresso, or become a “localvore” at a number of unique eateries, craft markets, or even shellfish farm down the road. Ground level sleeping accommodations include a queen-sized solid oak Murphy bed with high-quality memory foam mattress, flanked with ample storage and pantry. When the bed is retracted, a clever fold down table doubles as dining or workstation in an open floor plan to maximize space. The sitting area features a pull-out couch, bistro style dining table, 42” Smart HD satellite television and high-speed internet. There is also a 75-square foot carpeted open space loft for yoga, relaxation, or reading. There is a single, heated-tiled bathroom with shower. There are two entryways, one through private single car garage (use for vehicle, or additional storage for mountain bikes, kayaks or other toys) and or a slider that leads to your own outdoor flagstone patio, flanked by local sourced sandstone boulders,

    The studio is well kept and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we might have needed and then some. The Murphy bed was comfortable but a little noisy. We would stay here again. We didn't get a chance to walk the trails that are basically right outside the door.

    We were in Bellingham to visit family. The directions to get to this place helped immensely since it is secluded and 10 minutes from downtown. Once we got there it was perfect, easy to access and fully appointed with amenities. It made staying there a breeze and pleasant. The owner checked in when we saw him in the distance but also respected our privacy. Overall a great experience.

    My partner and I loved our stay at this cabin. It's in a beautiful location off Chuckanut Drive and easy access to the interurban trail which we really enjoyed - we hiked and biked right from the studio with minimal need for a car. The hosts are communicative and friendly, the VRBO is well stocked, and we appreciated the extra storage space in the garage for our bikes and bike rack. Would highly recommend!

    This wonderfully appointed studio was perfect for the two of us and our small dog. It was private and well-located just steps from the Interurban Trail (great for walking, jogging or bike riding). Ed was a great host and was quick to answer any questions.

    Lots of nice amenities, pretty fancy but still comfy. Can't beat the easy trail access and nearby the ocean beach at the state park a few minutes drive away. Wish we'd had more time to explore area lakes and relax on the litte patio. The upstairs loft is so tranquil with lots of light and windows overlooking the trees. Recommend!

    This is a very well thought out-property with a lot of attention to detail. We will definitely stay here again when we visit the area in the future.

    Beautiful location and cottage! The space is clean, comfortable, and has everything you could need. Host was very responsive and welcoming. Our two pups enjoyed walking the nearby urban trail. The location was perfect for our trips to Fairhaven and Bellingham. We would love to come back!
