About the host

Hosted by Lisa Oostema

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Glen and Lisa. We own and operate Oostema Farmstead, a working Wagyu farm just outside Lynden, Washington.

We live here, care for the land and cattle, and personally look after the guest spaces. Our hosting style is simple and hands-on. You’ll have your own space and privacy, and we won’t hover. If you need something, we’re nearby and responsive.

Our stays are designed for adults who value peace, quiet, and a slower pace.

We’ve been welcoming guests since 2016, and it still makes us smile how many people find their way here from all over the country (and beyond). If you’re looking for a stay that feels like a real exhale… you’re in the right place.

Why they chose this property

We are a 5 minute drive to downtown Lynden.
Bikes are a great way to get around the Country side and to Lynden.

Forget public transportation... this is 'rural' America! For a small fee we are willing to pick you up at the bus or train station or airport.
We are surrounded by 117 acres of farm land and have no neighbors. If your looking for peace and quiet, look no further. We also offer a Hot Tub, fire pit, BBQ and a few more things. Just ask us and we can see if we can accommodate.

What makes this property unique

We have no Neighbors :) our property is completely private and off the main road. The only neighbors you have will be us, upstairs, but we are very quiet
.The neighborhood is rural and quiet. Though close to the main road, the house is tucked away on a one lane road. You can walk around the property anytime during the day.
