Very accommodating, clean, quiet and comfortable
Our four adult children accompanied us to Bellingham for a family wedding and we were pleasantly surprised by the wonderful hospitality this home provided for all of us! Everything we could possibly need was provided for and then some! The fresh, warm berry scones provided at our door one morning we're simply amazing! They were even so accommodating by making them dairy-free... thank you! The home was clean, spacious and very comfortable! The neighborhood was very quiet and felt safe! A binder with added detailed information about the home and Bellingham was thorough and helpful. We would most definitely book this home again the next time we find ourselves in Bellingham!

Home sweet home
This house served us well. The master bedroom upstairs is very spacious yet cozy. The downstairs living space and kitchen are open and functional. We were there in May and the yard was in full bloom and nicely landscaped. The location is ideal for dinning and local activities. Very quiet and comfortable. I would definitely stay there again

Beautiful, cozy neighborhood setting abundant with classic charm just blocks from food and parks
My family as well as myself were as comfortable as if we were in one of our own homes for a visit. Great neighborhood for walks and quick trips to the store. We found the list if local establishments with included comments very helpful. Super convenient location to the airport(for my Mom) as well as downtown and the college. Going to an early morning graduation was effortless. We truly enjoyed all of the amenities including having a backyard BBQ. I look forward to planning another trip to Bellingham soon. It could not have been anymore perfect.
Thank You.

Perfect house!!!
You will say out loud "oh this is just great!" We were four adults and two small dogs who instantly settled in. The park on the corner Elizabeth Street Park is just lovely. Dennis has made available not just a rental house but his home. We felt like we were truly his guests!!! Perfectly furnished & the master suite upstairs....wow! Thanks Dennis & HomeAway - this was a great experience!!! The Callarmans.

March MTB camp
Our group of junior Mountain Bike riders thought the house was a perfect home base for our 3 day camp in the area. Location, amenities, size and comfort level were just what we needed.
Overall we had an excellent time in Bellingham and this great house was a big part of that experience.
Thanks,
Marc

Excellent property near downtown and harbor.
This house was perfect for our family visit to Bellingham. It's close to the harbor and downtown, only a short drive to Fairhaven and easy access to routes to Mt. Baker. The house was very roomy and clean. The beds were comfortable and the two full bathrooms were helpful with five adults getting ready to go out at the same time. The kitchen had all the supplies you could need. Dining options are plentiful and nearby, mostly a short drive, but parking in Bellingham is easy. Dennis was very easy to work with and always accessible and helpful. We have a lot of immediate family very nearby, so we were too busy to take advantage of many of the house features, such as the fire pit and backyard or the grill. The back laundry room was great for boots and clothes from particularly muddy hike.
I would definitely rent this house again. The neighborhood was quiet and easily accessible.
