It make us happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed the lake and everything else the house had to offer. We would love for you to keep us in mind for a future getaway.
We rented the Lake Samish Funhouse for a friendsgiving get together and it worked out wonderfully. Plenty of space for us to cook, eat, hang out, and rest. Would definitely book again!
Our group had such an incredible time! The house was clean and comfortable, and lakefront vibes were great! It was the perfect fit for our large group, would absolutely stay here again.
My family enjoyed our stay at this roomy lakefront home with its kayaks, paddle boards and life jackets. We hope to stay here again next time we have a family gathering in Bellingham.
We had an amazing time at this house which is right on the lake. The house itself was very comfortable and we enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards and dock access. Great for family get togethers or just time away from it all!
We had family and friends travel from all over the world (England, Switzerland, Canada, etc) and absolutely loved the home. Great location, perfect for small safe gatherings.
Great place to gather with friends and family. The host was exceptionally friendly, accommodating and communicative. Loved the lake, deck, yard, and dock!
We enjoyed our stay on Lake Samish. Weather was beautiful and neighbors were friendly. This home is in an ideal location with easy access to Bellingham.
