Serene, clean, and comfortable!

Amazing property in a secluded feeling area while still being a reasonable drive to downtown Bellingham and a short drive to beautiful Whatcom Falls. The house was immaculate, the beds were very comfortable, good cooking supplies, even the toilet paper was high quality! Communication from the hosts was very good and they accommodated a special request we had. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again!

Wonderful stay outside of town

This was a warm and very inviting place with exquisite facilities, kitchen, and patio. The no pet policy was appreciated as well, since we have allergies too. Rupa and Ashok were clear and cordial all the way throughout our visit, and we would not hesitate to book again for another stay!
