We had such a relaxing time here. We had a 2 week stay in between moving places and it was a great place to get back to and relax. The host was easy to communicate with and they always replied quickly to any questions I had. I even accidentally left a few important items and they made sure to get the items back to me! Amazing!

What a lively place! Beautiful and peaceful area that is a quick 10-15 minute drive to downtown Bellingham. We sat and watched rowing on the lake while we had breakfast took our dogs on a walk to meet the friendliest neighbors. Our stay was truly a joy!Owners could not be better in terms of home preparation, communication and setting expectations for the home. There was not an item we needed that we could not find on site. They know what they’re doing and have put deliberate thought into their guests stay. We’ll be back & you should give it a try too!

This pretty house was perfect for our family holiday! Such great lake views, fabulous walk to the lakefront park and big spaces to be together. We loved the cozy beds, well stocked kitchen and big dining table for family meals. Laundry room, multiple decks and yards, and jet tub outside were bonuses. This was the hang-out house we were looking for!

This property and host were amazing. The booking process and communication were seamless. The photos of the house don’t do it justice - the house was more spacious than anticipated. After arriving in the dark, it was a pleasant surprise to wake up to such a great view of the lake.

Great place to stay. Lovely view of the lake and close to Samish Park. It was all the little thoughtful things that made it extra special. Extra throws in little baskets near sitting area, patio heater to enjoy the view in the cold. Loved the hot tub. Lovely little fire pit. Host was responsive and attentive. Great experience. Will be coming back.

Overall happy with the home and the stunning view of the lake. Master bedroom was colder than other rooms and the shower pressure was not great and water heat could have been better.Main bathroom was perfect. We didn't use the hot tub since it needed to be filled and we we're not sure if water would be hot enough.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 January 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay. Just to clarify, the master bedroom is larger, which is why an extra heater is provided if needed. The master shower was added later, so the water pressure may differ slightly from the other bathroom, though it works well. The hot tub is jetted and the temperature can be adjusted to your preference. Thank you again for staying with us.

Hi, I’m Harman, your host. I graduated in medical and spent over a decade in healthcare before choosing to step into my most meaningful role—being a full-time mom to our son, Sean. My husband Jay and I live here in beautiful Bellingham and we love hiking, exploring nature, and soaking in the outdoors. We truly feel fortunate to live in this beautiful area.

This cozy 1960s bungalow has been thoughtfully renovated while keeping its charm. We’re excited to welcome you and hope this special retreat is a place where you can relax, recharge, and feel at home.

Why they chose this property

The Lake Samish neighborhood is a peaceful retreat surrounded by stunning natural beauty—just minutes from Bellingham, yet it feels a world away. A short 5-minute walk takes you to Lake Samish Park, where you can enjoy swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, picnics, or simply relaxing by the water. With a close-knit community and easy access to town, it’s a truly special place for nature lovers to visit and unwind. 🌿

What makes this property unique

This charming 1960s bungalow has been thoughtfully renovated while preserving its classic character. Enjoy stunning lake views right from the front doorstep and through large picture windows in nearly every room, including the master bedroom, kitchen, dining, and living areas. Relax on the spacious covered patio, unwind in the jetted tub or gather around the fire pit for cozy evenings. With inviting seating areas in both the front and backyard and beautiful natural surroundings, this home is a perfect place to relax and recharge.
