This is a great house that is well located. The kitchen is very well equipped. The outside patio was perfect for socializing. I was there with 7 friends and would definitely stay there again.
Nice kitchen and great table in dining room for a large family gathering. High ceilings and windows make the downstairs rooms very bright and welcoming.
The house was very clean, plenty of linens for our family of 12. The kitchen is very well equipped. The downstairs living area is very spacious and comfortable, plenty of sofas and chairs, pillows and throws, tons of games, music options. The sleeping arrangements are tight for a large group. The host was amazingly responsive, returning a message via VRBO almost immediately and was very easy to work with. Overall a great stay.
Very clean house and very family friendly. My grandchildren loved all the toys. Great location and a fun neighborhood to take a walk. We enjoyed our 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.
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 had the best time in Bellingham! The house was perfect for us and the dogs. We walked everywhere we went and had really nice evenings at the house. Will for sure come back!
Beautiful, comfy home in superior location! Quiet residential area, yet walkable to coffee shops and parks. Just 5 min drive from downtown. Home has super comfortable beds and furniture, and the kitchen is the best stocked I've ever seen. Great outdoor space! Hosts were very friendly and easy to reach.
Elm House was a very comfortable and peaceful landing spot for an important gathering of our close friendship group. Hosts provided very quick and helpful information, and the home was just as advertised. All possible coffee preparations were available, along with lovely indoor and outdoor spots to enjoy a relaxed a peaceful time together. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
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!
We were visiting Bellingham for an early Thanksgiving with my brother who lives in the area. The house was warm and inviting, a great location close to everything we wanted to do! The hosts were very gracious and accommodating!
We loved this property! It is a great location. What was best was the communication with the owner. Towels and sheets were great. Good washer and dryer. Wonderful coffee bar and kitchen. We will stay there again when we go back to Bellingham.
It was a great gathering place for family and friends! The only slight inconvenience was the location of the upstairs bathroom. It is located in the master bedroom.
Our family had a great experience and had activities setup for kids of all ages. The house is conveniently located and clean. Also, really appreciate the hosts' responsiveness. Would definitely recommend!
Very nice property, great location. We had 10 for dinner, the dining room table accommodated us easily. The living room was perfect for morning coffee and conversation. Loved it!
