About this property

Lake Samish Getaway close to Galbraith Mountain, Chuckanut & Historic Fairhaven

Wonderful Lakehouse getaway just 10 minutes from Historic Fairhaven in Bellingham, WA. Situated on beautiful Lake Samish, the Lakehouse is just a short 5-minute​ drive to Galbraith Mountain, the Chuckanut trail system, Larabee State Park, and Lake Padden. World class mountain biking and hiking just minutes from your door!

The space:
Enjoy full lake access and beautiful scenic views. Enjoy the use of kayaks and the hot tub. Build a lakefront fire and roast marshmallows and enjoy the beauty of Lake Samish. ​​​ ​​

Guest accesss:
Guests have full access to the house, yard, and lake.

Other things to note:
We want you to enjoy the house and not feel you have to tiptoe around it! The Lakehouse is well maintained, however it is an older home that is often filled with lots of busy, happy children. Be prepared for scuff marks and imperfections. The bathrooms and kitchen are clean and maintained but a little outdated. We hope to be able to make such improvements over time.

Beautiful New Years on Lake Samish

My husband, sister, two grown sons and 2 active dogs spent a great 5 days on the shores of Lake Samish. Daily hikes/walks, kayaking, reading, working puzzles, playing pool, enjoying the spectacular light reflected off the water, and eating, eating, eating. Excellent communication and problem solving by the hosts ironed out early wrinkles. Our 4-footed family enjoyed the doggie basket and especially bunny watching from the balcony.

Pamela and family were incredible guests! After a huge snow storm and losing power, then lack of propane for a day, they really stuck it out! We greatly appreciate the understanding and flexibility this crew maintained throughout their stay. Happy to host them anytime.

Fun!

Our family of 5 really enjoyed Holly's home. It's right on the lake, so we were able to take advantage of the opportunity to fish...no luck though! The hot tub is a nice amenity and the house is pet friendly! Thanks!

Lovely place on the water

The house was nice and clean with great lounging spaces and a big hot tub. We really enjoyed the views and the big open layout. The dog friendly amenities were a nice bonus as well.
