    The house has amazing charm and character! The location could not have been better. Lovely neighborhood. In house amenities provided everything one would need for a comfy stay. Probably the easiest thermostat I've ever used! There were little 'info signs' around the house that were very helpful and efficient. Saving the best for last, the hosts. John and his partner are on another level. Leaders of the pack! Don't pass this listing by...

    Our two and a half year old loved the trucks, the play kitchen and running around the circle of dining room, living room, entry, and music room. The adults enjoyed playing albums on the turntable. The location is about a mile walk to railroad street for the shops and restaurants. All around a good experience.

    We loved our stay here in Bellingham! I can't say enough positive things. The location was great - close to the marina, coffee, parks, food, etc. The home is ideal for families. Pack 'n play was there and ready for us for out little one, lots of board games and toys for our others kids (4 and 6). Plenty of space to spread out. And everything was easy - John and Grace were proactive communicators and generous with recommendations and help throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

    Our family was in town for a wedding and this was the perfect location! We appreciated the space (two living rooms and dining room with large table). The outside area was a great setup with BBQ and gas fire table. Everything was very clean and kitchen was well stocked, and beds were comfortable! There were plenty of extra blankets, pillows and fans, as well. We were in walking distance from coffee shops, restaurants, and the water. The hosts were very kind and quick to respond. We did not run into any issues during our 4 night stay!

    From the check in process to the stay to the check out process the hosts were wonderful! The house was perfect for our family of 7 that stayed there. The outdoor fire pit space was amazing to sit around and tell stories! Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Bellingham.

    This is a great place for a family to stay! 3rd floor game room, lots of board games, records, Tonka Trucks in the back yard, covered propane firepit and fun stuff everywhere in the house. The house is in excellent shape with recently remodeled baths. The host was wonderful and my family had a great time there. Highly recommend this property, especially for a large family.

    Had a wonderful stay visiting our college kid. The house is super, very spacious, and especially for families w/kids (ours 10-19), tons of kid/teen friendly stuff to do. This VRBO has all the extra's that make it feel really special -- soap/shampoo/dishwasher and washing machine pods/great coffee options/new plentiful towel supply/welcome gift. Super walkable with great options for coffee/beer/food very close by. Even to central downtown it is less than a mile. John, our host, was super responsive and provided fab recommendations for hiking, beer drinking, ice cream eating, etc -- we did most of them, and they were all enjoyed by our crew.
