Amazing property! I almost don’t want to tell so I can keep it a secret… The guesthouse is great value for money, two separate bedrooms - beautifully decorated, comfy beds, gorgeous bath. And you have access the pool, hot tub, kayaks, fire pit and grounds - can’t wait to come back!

A beautiful setting and rooms but found the place to be limited in terms of ease of use. It’s just two bedrooms and a bathroom with limited seating. The kitchenette is in a closet. The room curtains open up to the front of the house and doesn’t feel private. Unfortunately it was raining when we visited so we couldn’t take advantage of what this place has to offer. In

Wonderful stay on the lake

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in these wonderful rooms! The coffee maker, microwave, and frig allowed me to have some meals, the beds and bathroom are wonderful, clean and spacious! I enjoyed my coffee on the dock every morning - watching the sunrise and the fish jump! And we took the kayaks out a couple times! And an easy drive into town!

Bellingham Beauty

Gorgeous property with high-end finishes inside and out and a beautiful location on Lake Whatcom. For just the two of us, a little sitting room instead of a second bedroom would have been a plus, but not a deal-breaker. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
