    This is our second stay. It is such a cozy house and it was wonderfully decorated for the holidays. It has everything you need for a getaway.

    Wonderful rental in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our nine day stay very much. We appreciated being a short drive from shopping and restaurants, but still felt like we were tucked away from the busy streets of town. Our 4 year old grandson loved riding his bike on the quiet street. The front and back porches got lots of use for coffee, wine and dining alfresco. We hope to stay here again some day.

    We had a lovely stay at this amazing cottage by the lake for my daughter's race weekend. The place was perfect! Everything we needed, from three different ways to make coffee, yoga mats, a snack basket, and an incredibly attentive host. The location was close to town but tucked into a quiet dead-end street. The house was spacious and cozy at the same time, and the front garden and back yard provided perfect outdoor spots to enjoy a morning coffee and an afternoon snooze. We will definitely hope to stay there again!

    The management co was extremely responsive and quick to answer questions and very helpful. The house had everything we needed, even yoga mats! The reason I gave accuracy of listing a 4 was that photos don't show it's an older home, the bed in the smaller room was way too soft and the house had a cat urine smell, but opening the windows really helped.the

    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.

    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.

    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!
