The space
This apartment is equipped for comfortable stays with laundry, full size appliances, two bedrooms and a full bathroom.

Mountain bikers are our most enthusiastic guests because world-class biking is in our "backyard" (quite literally) AND we provide safe bike storage. Skiers enjoy our unit for easy-access to Mt. Baker Highway (and safe ski storage.)

WORK REMOTELY: Two desks allow two remote-workers to set up an office.

The apartment is private, with a well-lit outside entrance, and off-street parking. The yard is fenced, and our guests enjoy their own outdoor area with an umbrella table and Adirondack chairs for four!

OUTDOOR LIVING is sometimes hard to find in apartment rentals: There is a sunny, outdoor sitting area for the apartment, away from the main part of the back yard, offering you more privacy. It is beautifully terraced and landscaped. Enjoy outdoor dining at the umbrella table for four, or read in the sun in one of the Adirondacks.

We have equipment available to help you travel lightly with your kids. Please let us know in advance so we can reserve it for you! Tripp Trapp high chair or booster chair; top-of-stairs safety gate; porta-crib; outlet covers; toys and books for young children.

We warmly welcome your dog! We also have equipment available to help you travel lightly with your furry companion: bowls, leash, doggie bags, sanitized dog bed, dog towels and paw-washer. Please familiarize yourself with the additional house rules if you bring your bestie (your dog!) We set up the apartment especially for the comfort and safety of visiting dogs - be sure to let us know you are bringing a dog BEFORE you arrive!

About the host

Hosted by Kjerstin Secord

Jim (Canadian) and Kjerstin (American) are enjoying living on both sides of the border in Bellingham as well as Vancouver, B.C. Our "main" house is in Bellingham, where we are having tons of fun hosting travelers in this cute apartment on the property. Jim works in wine distribution software and Kjerstin volunteers as a firefighter/EMT.

We also have a vacation home on Lummi Island where we welcome summer visitors (our "Family Reunion Gem" is listed on VRBO.)

All five of our adult kids are now living independent lives so we are enjoying traveling more and entertaining friends with our newfound spare time.

Why they chose this property

This is an old, established Lake Whatcom neighborhood in which people have been remodeling and renovating the original cabins into full-time, large family homes. Our street has a distinct "Craftsman" vibe. Houses are far apart, most sitting on half-acre or one-acre lots. The Geneva Neighborhood is still quite heavily forested, so it is quiet and yards are private.

What makes this property unique

It's no secret that Bellingham is located in the Pacific Northwest, where skies are grey for a large part of the year. This special apartment is lined with windows, and it is located on the second story where natural light floods the rooms with bright light every month of the year. (Air conditioning is provided for the sunny months!)

We've put a lot of energy and effort into making this unit really attractive and comfortable. The unit has stylish details like a stainless steel backsplash, fun paint colors, lots of local artwork, house plants, fabulous natural lighting and new (2023) rugs and furnishings. It just feels good to be in the space.

We've included lots of convenient "extras" like an umbrella (Remember? The Pacific NW?), coffee/tea, cooking basics (flour, sugar, oil, spices), laundry detergent and more.
