Thank you, Mark! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful lake views and found the home had everything you needed for your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back to Lake Whatcom again!
Nice place and well equipped. Be aware the driveway is steep if you have a vehicle with low clearance. Some of the outdoor furniture could use replacement. The record player doesn’t work. We would stay here again.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home and would stay with us again! We do provide specific arrival directions that make accessing the driveway much easier, and there is also flat parking available directly in front of the property.
Thank you as well for letting us know about the record player. It had been working for previous guests, so we’ll make sure to check it and ensure everything is operating properly. We appreciate the heads up and would be happy to welcome you back anytime!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you and your family had a great long weekend at the house. The sunsets over Lake Whatcom and relaxing in the hot tub on the deck are some of our favorite parts of the property too. It’s great to hear you were able to enjoy the neighborhood trails as well—they’re such a special part of the area.
We’d love to host you again anytime you’re looking for another relaxing getaway!
The house is beautiful! The hosts were very responsive and made sure we had clear instructions for all things in the home. Our family will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful location and home to stay in. Everything was quiet, peaceful and tranquil and the hot tub was amazing to relax in after a long day.The hosts - Owen and Patricia - were incredibly responsive to any questions (of which there were very, very few).We had a superb time, loved every minute and can highly recommend any one to stay here.

Thank you, Amy! We’re so glad you enjoyed your first visit to the Pacific Northwest and Canada. It means a lot to hear that the special touches helped make your stay memorable. We appreciate your kind review and hope to welcome you back again someday! 😊
We loved staying here! It is so peaceful and lovely. The house is cute and well-appointed, we had everything we needed. My partner loved playing the guitar the owners kindly provide and we enjoyed sitting outside on the deck at dusk and watching the lake. The master bed and living room couch were both comfy.

The area was tucked away from the city-but an easy drive to get to the city when we wanted to shop. Lake was amazing, house was even nicer in person. Lots of room for everyone. Would go back.
This was a charming home. It's on a steep hillside as is the whole neighborhood. Nice amenities, including a heated master bath floor, which was really nice. Hosts put out a tray of snacks and even dog treats, and provided good communication and information. Plenty of warm throws to snuggle in. Lots of outdoor decking and a hot tub but due to weather we weren't able to use much of that. Lots of stairs so be aware if that is an issue. Very nice place!!

Thank you for your kind words. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the amenities and cozy touches. The weather can certainly change things up around the lake, but we hope you’ll have the chance to enjoy the deck and hot tub next time. We appreciate you staying with us and would love to welcome you back.
We spent a week at this lovely home in Sudden Valley. Perfect location for a visit with our son's family who live in the neighbourhood. The house exceeded our expectations and we hope to stay there again. Beautiful view of the lake and enjoyed being in the treetops.

We really enjoyed our stay over the Christmas holidays. It was a very special touch that they had a tree there that was decorated. The house has some really nice updates. The bedrooms have very little space to unpack and hold our stuff. But we were not there very much. The beds were very comfortable. It was pretty chilly during the time we were there. The house has some lovely floor ceiling windows, and it was difficult for us to get the house warm. But there were plenty of blankets to use.The hot tub was also a great addition, even in the cold weather. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also appreciated the little treats that they left for us. We would recommend this house to stay in.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your Christmas stay and appreciated the holiday decorations, updates to the home, and the hot tub, especially during the colder weather. We’re also glad to know the beds were comfortable and that our communication and welcome treats added to your experience.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the cooler temperatures and bedroom storage. The home’s floor to ceiling windows are one of its most loved features for the views and natural light, though they can make winter heating a bit more challenging. In addition to the primary heating system, there is a second heat source available if needed, and we always encourage guests to reach out so we can help ensure a comfortable stay. We also provide plenty of blankets to help everyone stay cozy.
Thank you again for staying with us and for the recommendation. We would love to welcome you back anytime.
Relax and enjoy the beauty of the great North West
House was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub after a busy day of sightseeing and hiking. House is close to Mt Baker ,Bellingham, and parks. Our stay went on without any problems and we were very satisfied with our stay.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Come back anytime!
This was the third time we've stayed in this property. The Sudden Valley area is beautiful and the people there are quite friendly. (That's one of the reasons we're moving there.) The property is well maintained, well equipped, and the owners are very easy to work with.
My husband and I rented the house to spend a week with our adult daughter, son, and daughter-in-law. The neighborhood is great, we loved the relaxing feel of the house, and the hot tub was a hit. Perfect location for all of the day trips we made. The owners were wonderful and very helpful when our daughter left something in the house after checking out. One for the memory books!
