Hot Tub | Quiet | Private Retreat on a Wagyu Farm

Wake Up to Peace and Wide-Open Skies

Start your day with the soft sounds of birdsong and the breeze carrying in the scent of fresh country air. Welcome to Oostema Farmstead, where 117 acres of green pastures and grazing Wagyu cattle offer the space to slow down and breathe deep.

This private, two-bedroom apartment is designed just for adults 16 and over. No noise, no crowds, no stress, just comfort, quiet, and the kind of rest that stays with you long after you leave.

Not Your Typical Stay

This is more than just a place to sleep.
It’s your chance to truly unplug. Whether you’re enjoying morning coffee on the patio, strolling the quiet farm roads, or soaking in the hot tub under the stars, you’ll find a sense of calm that’s hard to come by. This is your sign to try something different.

Designed With You in Mind
We’ve welcomed over 1,000 guests and know that real relaxation starts with trust. That means clear communication, warm hospitality, and no surprises. As your hosts living right here on the farm, we’re just upstairs if you need anything. Otherwise, you’ll enjoy complete privacy and space to simply relax.

What You’ll Love About the Apartment:
• Peace and Privacy: No shared walls, no noisy neighbors, just fresh air and open views
• Spacious and Comfortable: A cozy living area, dining nook, and full kitchenette make it feel like home
• Restful Sleep: King-sized bed with premium linens, plus a second queen bedroom and another full bath
• Your Own Patio: Watch the sunrise with a warm drink or enjoy dinner as the sun sets behind the mountains
• Reserved Hot Tub: Available year-round and just for our guests; details are shared after booking

A Farm Stay That Feels Just Right
Not too rustic. Not too fancy. Just clean, thoughtfully designed, and welcoming. Whether you’re a farm-loving couple or simply craving a reset, you’ll feel at ease here. No pressure, just comfort.

Things to Know Before You Book:
• Adults Only (16+): We’re a quiet place for grown-ups to relax
• Pet-Free: To keep things fresh and allergy-friendly, we don’t allow pets
• Shared Property, Private Space: While the apartment is private, we do host others in our barn cabin, campground, and farm store. You might see a few guests or hear us tending the land, but we’ve designed this space to feel like your own

Please Message Us “FARMSTEAD”
This confirms you’ve read these details, and we’ll send the short rental agreement to finalize your booking.

You Deserve a Break That Actually Feels Like One

If you've been longing for a place where you can slow down, catch your breath, and feel truly taken care of, this is it.
We can’t wait to share our farm, our story, and this peaceful space with you.

This is the place to stay while in Lynden

Very great place. The surroundings are phenomenal, and Lynden itself is a great little town. The bedrooms are nice and cozy, and the beds themselves are comfortable. The bathroom have a lot of extras in them that you might not typically see. Overall a really great place to stay.

Super peaceful and relaxing

We stayed here in early December and it was very nice. The hosts were polite, the space was clean, the instructions were very clear and access was very easy. Lynden is a very charming little town and we left the farm talking about how excited we were to come back in the summer for the raspberries!

Cozy apartment and a great location!

We had a great time staying on the farm. The apartment was perfect for me and my kids. The rooms were spacious and cozy and having the two bathrooms was great! It was clean and perfectly decorated for a farm apartment. The owner and his grandson were so friendly and we loved the tour of the farm. This is a great place to stay!!! We loved it!

Perfect little getaway

It was so nice to stay here at the farm for our little one night stay. We came to spend time with our son for Easter weekend since he attends Western Washington University. The beds were extremely comfortable. Just the right amount of detail throughout the entire apartment. We would definitely come and stay here again. Thanks Glen and Lisa

Beautiful accommodations, beautiful view, relaxing environment

We arrived in a sudden cloudburst, and our host came rushing to help us get our belongings in out of the rain. The apartment is charmingly furnished and every amenity is available. It was fun to see the cattle and the pig and the goat and the chickens and to walk in the raspberry fields.

Quiet, clean, delightful - highly recommend

This is our second stay at the Oostema Farmstead so we are repeat customers. We walked into immaculately clean spaces, tasteful and thoughtful holiday decorations, enjoyed a good night’s sleep in comfortable beds and amazingly soft linens, and loved the fluffy thick soft towels. The Farmstead is so quiet and presented us with some spectacular sunrises that lit up the sky in brilliant pink hues due to its location. Our daughter and son-in-law and their 8 month old stayed in the master bedroom and were able to put the pack and play in the large master bathroom which allowed all three to enjoy a good nights sleep each night. The second bedroom is also good size and just down the hall from the master bedroom which provided additional privacy. Prior to our stay, Lisa was quick to provide us with the check in procedures and was also extremely responsive to any questions that I had. We were there to see our son and his family who live a short distance from the Farmstead which makes it an ideal landing place for us. We will be back!

Comfy, quiet getaway. Perfect for families

We LOVED our stay! Pros: Super comfy beds and linens So cute Bigger space than the pictures appear Animals on the farm to see/feed Comfortable tub to soak in Very responsive host Cons: No kitchen. We did take out for dinner and brought easy breakfast/lunch options to make in the kitchenette. Very basic kitchenette (bring butter, etc) Flies (but it’s a farm, so definitely forgivable) Internet didn’t work for the 4 days were there (but this seemed to be the first time that’s happened - so I wouldn’t take too much note of this con). Definitely recommend this getaway!!

Farm Paradise Oasis

Warmly greeted and supported throughout our stay. Property grounds are beautifully manicured. The grandkids loved the farm animals (so did the adults). The hot tub was fantastic. The access to the garden for fresh veggies we barbecued on the grill and bowl full of fresh picked raspberries we’re delicious. The 2- bedroom house was quite sufficient for our family with three grand kids. It was very clean and comfortable. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Oostema

Host profile image
Hi, I am Lisa, your Host,

We offer a two-bedroom self-contained apartment and a one-bedroom House. Choose your place to stay that fits your needs. Both accommodations have beautiful views of the panoramic farm fields surrounding the property. We encourage our guests to walk around and take full advantage of the peaceful surroundings. Whichever you choose, you'll enjoy a tranquil stay. The apartment features two bedrooms and two bathrooms a King size bed in the master bedroom and queen in the second bedroom. Our Tiny house has a queen bed. All bedding has extremely comfortable fine linens.



Stay with us for an experience, unlike anything you've had before. We do have the best sunsets, and you can see the horizon for miles. Unlike staying in the city.

We have a few cows and acres of Raspberry Fields. Glen, my husband, works on the farm and is also a Contractor. Hosting is my full-time job. :) The reason we love Hosting, is because of the interesting people we meet from all over the country, and world.
When you travel through Western Washington, don't "stay" in the city, you can stay in the city anytime. You will love the freedom you feel when you get out of the town even a little way. We invite you to join us at the farm and enjoy the quiet life of stress-free living where your neighbors are nowhere around, and the sirens don't sound at night. Welcome to the farm.

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.
