    We had a wonderful stay! The place was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. We felt welcomed and check-in was super easy. The property felt secluded but was still a quick ride into town. Would definitely recommend.

    Our family of 3 visited Bellingham for a long weekend and we couldn’t have found a better place to stay. Jessa was welcoming and made the check in and out super easy. There was even a basket of snacks waiting when we arrived- which was perfect because we had been traveling all day and were starved!The place is tucked in to a quiet street and truly feels like you’re in a mountain treehouse. Lots of windows for fresh air and listening to birds and breeze in the trees. On our first morning there, we woke up to find a family of deer hanging out in the yard! Apartment was clean, kitchen well stocked with essentials. Having a second bathroom and washer/dryer were important to us. A nice surprise was how great the beds were- quality mattresses and bedding! No squeaky frames and loud sheets.The location was optimal, a quick drive to parks, lakes, and downtown. We were happy to come back to this cozy retreat after a long day out. Would absolutely stay again, especially in the colder months.

    Loved staying here. Quiet neighborhood. My mother in law called it her stay up in the trees. Good location and only miles away from downtown and they bay. Jessa was amazing and responded quickly.

    Jessica and her partner were such great hosts. The place was lovely and they even had a sweet welcome basket waiting. They were very understanding when my dog had some separation anxiety and got herself into a little trouble :) No stress at all about a dog being a dog which was honestly refreshing.

    This condo was just as shown in pics and on line. Beds were super comfortable and condo was very homey, they had everything we needed. It's a little haven retreat in the woods but close to so many things. Whatcomb lake was walking distance but didn't spend much time there. Jessa and Kevin were great and provided really good information on the area and fun things to do. I would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again if we get up to Bellingham again.

    A friend and I came to Bellingham to visit another friend. This 2nd floor unit in a 3-unit house was only ten minutes away, but felt like it was in the forest. The street is very quiet and the house is surrounded by trees. The owners were incredibly thoughtful, with great communication and offering fun suggestions of local activities. I would definitely stay here again.

    This is the second time we have stayed at the Galbraith Mountain Retreat, and both times it has been perfect for us since our daughter and her family live nearby. Our stays were both very comfortable, and although we didn’t mountain bike, the Galbraith Mountain entrance is nearby. Whatcom Falls Park is also not far and has pretty falls, nice hiking trails, and a couple of playgrounds. The location is convenient and the apartment is well equipped and quite comfortable.

    Kevin and Jessa were easy to work with. When we first got there, Kevin walked with us to show where the trails were. The chocolates on the bed were a nice plus. And then the cake for our daughter's graduation was a special plus. Great beds, quiet neighborhood, and easy access to WWU and downtown Bellingham. A great place to stay.
