Spacious lake front property on one of western Washington's most beautiful lakes. Situated on 1/2 acre of woodland with its own 100 ft private lake front, separated by Northshore Rd. Our cottage has all the amenities you could ask for to have the perfect time away from the busy lives we all lead. The set-up is adaptable for a family with children or couples who are looking for a break by the lake.
There is generous living indoors and out, with inside dining for 8, and an additional 6-8 person dining table out on the deck overlooking the lake. There is plenty of dinnerware for both. The kitchen is fully equipped, with the addition of the ubiquitous barbecue grill outside, and if needed a propane patio heater.
The lounge includes generous seating for watching movies on the wall mounted, flat panel TV. that has Xfinity WiFi stick and Netflix & Prime and many other streaming apps, or chose from our wide selection of DVD or VHS tapes! Or if you prefer, listen to music from MP3 docking station or Bluetooth enabled soundbar. Save the fridge for food, there is a separate wine fridge. Relax on either the large deck overlooking the lake or in the lounge on one of the comfortable sofas or chairs.
The main floor also has the master bedroom (king-size bed), with the main bathroom; the remaining 3 bedrooms and 2nd full bathroom are on the lower level. There is a queen size bed, one twin over full bunk bed and two twin beds, with a second flat panel TV & Amazon Fire-stick and DVD/VCR in the larger twin to save arguing with the children!
At the beach there are lawn chairs, picnic table and loungers at your disposal and another fridge in the beach hut for the perfect way to while away the hours lakeside. Make full use of the two adult, two children size kayaks, and two 10' paddle boards, or just relax and sunbathe to your heart's content. Large selection of life vests provided. There is a stone fire pit and we do our best to replenish the wood pile behind the beach hut, however, since there is no cover on the wood and this is the Pacific North West it is open to the elements so may be damp in the spring and fall. Use those scout skills to start your fire so you can finish off your perfect day making s'mores with your favourite tipple.

If winter sports are more your bag then use the cabin as a base and drive the 60-75 minutes to Mount Baker, ski or ride all day then come back to dinner at the lake and sit around the fire at the lake re-enacting the day's adventures and near misses! Awake relaxed and ready for another day on the slopes.

    Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Lake Whatcom is beautiful. We hiked to a waterfall and look advantage of the paddleboards and kayaks provided by the host. The home was perfect for our family gathering. Plenty of board games for the evening and ample kitchenware for family to all be together. Perfect configuration of beds to accommodate all ages.

    This house was wonderful. Clean and had just about anything you might need in a home to cook, go to the beach, play in the water. So many kids toys-my granddaughter was so happy with the Barbies! Very comfortable home. Plenty of sleeping arrangements for our family. The view of the water and the sound of the water was so soothing and beautiful. Communication with the host was excellent; prompt replies to questions and messages. The setting was fabulous with so many trees. Brought most of our food with us so didn’t need to leave and go into Bellingham. We got lucky with great sunny weather and the big porch was great for outdoor seating ad enjoying the day and evening. We will definitely be back

    We loved our weekend on Lake Whatcom! A few friends and their kids stayed for the weekend while the ladies did Ski to Sea, and the home was the perfect landing place for us. It was so comfy and the beach and paddleboard access were a delightful bonus. This is a wonderful family/friends gathering spot!

    This place exceeded our expectations. Pictures and descriptions so not so it justice. The space and view are amazing. We planned some day trips but promptly cancelled them once we saw what the place had to offer. Communication was great as well. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

    Five of us traveled across country to attend a family wedding in Bellingham and this lovely vacation home on the lake was just right for our needs. The property description is spot-on with the details, so we knew what to expect when we arrived. The kitchen is fully equipped and the bedrooms ample size for our bags. My 89-year-old father stayed in the upstairs bedroom and used the external stairs, which had sturdy handrails on. both sides. Our host was very prompt to answer our questions. The wrap-around deck features lots of space for grilling and outdoor dining, plus gorgeous views of the lake below. We would come back again in a heartbeat!

    This property is perfect for a lakeside getaway. It has a great lakeside yard with room to play and get in the water. It has all the extras for a fun time including kayaks, paddle boards, and fire pit. The house is clean, comfortable and fit our needs to a T. You can find sun or chill out in the shade. We felt secluded even with neighbors and the road didn't seem busy at all. We had a great time here.

    We spent five lovely days in this quiet, pretty, lakeside spot. Our teens happily paddled about on the supplied kayaks and paddleboards. We enjoyed walks on nearby lakeside trails and forays into nearby Bellingham. Most of all we enjoyed lounging in the light and airy second floor living area and deck. Janice was quick with answers and helpfully let us know we could arrive early. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    We had a fabulous time at this sweet lake house. The home was well stocked and had everything we needed. Gorgeous view are to be had from the deck and upstairs rooms. Beds were comfy and everything was clean. The weather was not warm enough for us to take advantage of the lake toys but we still had a great time.
