With easy access to the majestic Lake Whatcom at the end of the street, this homely bungalow marries convenience, comfort, and the charm of the Pacific Northwest.

Step into a world of warmth as you enter this home.

At the heart of the home is the fully updated kitchen, complete with a gas stove, solid surface countertops, and all the cooking supplies you need. Whether you're preparing a quick breakfast or a gourmet dinner, the well-stocked kitchen is your culinary canvas.

Relaxation comes easy in the living room, where a large sectional invites you to lounge around the wood-burning stove. For a breath of fresh air, step outside to the beautiful fully fenced backyard that basks in the sun all day, or enjoy a quiet moment on the front porch, outfitted with comfortable seating.

Quiet, safe sand beautiful neighborhood

The management co was extremely responsive and quick to answer questions and very helpful. The house had everything we needed, even yoga mats! The reason I gave accuracy of listing a 4 was that photos don't show it's an older home, the bed in the smaller room was way too soft and the house had a cat urine smell, but opening the windows really helped.the

3 day visit to Bellingham

Was in town for Son’s graduation from Western and wanted a place to gather for meals and relax/hang out. Lovely house on quiet street near Lake Whatcom. Backyard is charming and a great spot to sit outside for a meal when the weather cooperates. Kitchen is the best equipped of any house rental I have experienced.

Great Home in a Safe, Beautiful Neighborhood

This house was perfect for what our group needed over the weekend. The kitchen had any utensil we would ever need for cooking or baking. It was in a quiet, safe neighborhood as well. The property management group was prompt in responding to my questions. Would stay here again!

Cozy Home

The home was very cozy and in the perfect location for our family as our relatives live near by. The front garden was enchanting and peaceful. The home was lovely inside, it is the perfect place to snuggle down with a good book. The 2nd bedroom was pretty tight but worked for us. We enjoyed our stay.

Quiet Retreat

Perfect blend of Bellingham cottage and modern amenities – kitchen and bathrooms are nicely upgraded. Lest than 15 minutes from Western Washington University and downtown Bellingham. The ideal retreat to brew some tea, read a book, take a walk near the lake, then drive into town for local beers and dining. Thank you!
