A great home to stay in. Our 10 days here was perfect for the lake front view, the lodging itself, the nearby hiking choices. Interactions with the owners have always been the best, We'll be back.

The hot tub was great, the view was amazing, and the dock was great! The house could use a deep clean (lots of cobwebs) and the road noise was consistent, but overall we would certainly stay again!

We had a wonderful time at the Lake Cabin when visiting for our daughter’s graduation. The home is very well equipped for cooking, swimming, hot tubbing, and taking the kayaks out on the lake. The yard was perfect for visiting with family, watching the sunset, and wading in the lake. Highly recommend!

Everything was incredible at Art and Jane's on the lake. We had a beautiful stay as we explored the surrounding single track mountain biking. The house was well appointed for cooking, relaxing, and recharging before heading out to do it all again. Highly suggest if you're looking in the area. Close to everything in Bellingham.

The view of the lake was fabulous! The home was so relaxing that we enjoyed just sitting in the living room soaking up the water view. The kitchen was well stocked and the host responded immediately with my questions about the internet. The beds and bedding were super comfy and the hot tub was very clean. We will definitely stay here again if we return to the tulip festival next year!

The house (cabin) was exactly what we needed for a few days rest and relaxation. First day it rained and we snuggled in by the fireplace. The second day we explored many of the fun places in and around Bellingham. We very much enjoyed the lovely lake view and the comfortable home.
