We were immediately wowed by the stunning view upon walking into the home. The house is spacious and the view is beautiful.The path down to the dock and lake is well maintained and very pretty. We loved having access to two kayaks and the private dock. There was a ton of seating both on the upper deck, the lower deck and down by the dock as well as on the dock. Only thing missing was some loungers and chairs that were padded on the upper deck and sunbrellas.The lake is quiet and perfect for swimming. We brought floaties and made full use of them. We loved watching all the floating docks puttering around the lake.It is important to note that the walkway to the dock/lake is steep so this is not ideal for the elderly or those with balance/walking issues. Our 89 year old Mom was able to enjoy the view from the upper deck though.We made use of one of the fire pits (bring your own wood) as well as the hot tub which was well maintained, clean, and a great temp. There were plenty of lake/hot tub towels and the view from the tub was great and it was private and well screened from the next door neighbors.The bedding was very comfortable and everything was very clean. Couple small annoyances was trying to figure out the door lock upon arriving, spending time trying to figure out the AC, no check out instructions, non-functioning microwave and a dryer that wasn’t working which Vacasa was aware of before our arrival. There is another dryer downstairs.We would return.

Cain Lake Paradise
Amazing views of the lake from within the living quarters as well as outside with private access to the water. 2 floors of bedroom accommodations allowed for easy access and never felt crowded. Nice to have room to do many activities at one time . We cooked for the team one night - with ease with a well laid out kitchen and appliances.Well stocked kitchen for cooking for a few or a crowd. Plentiful outdoor seating all with a view! Enough linens, pillows and towels ! Thank you for making the ultimate frisbee finals rewarding !

Easter Fun
We often rent a property for Easter so that we can share time and space with our family. We like the Bellingham area and this house was perfect for our activities. Very comfortable and in a beautiful location on a small lake. I am glad to recommend it!

Quiet, comfortable, beautiful
Kayaking on Cain lake is lovely and essentially has zero wake - good for beginner kayakers. Kitchen is well equipped. Koi pond is fun to watch. Laundry washer is mega-sized. Ample parking. Couch is nice and big for family hang outs. We had a great stay. Especially good location if you are planning to hop to Vancouver during your stay.

Great Place
Lovely quiet location. No need to deal with property manager so NA on communications. FYI - gate sign was hanging by a single screw when we arrived so needs fixing. Also we washed dishes on counter. Couldn’t start dishwasher because not enough tabs for the entire stay given our group size. Thanks!

Lovely property. Relaxing.
This property is just as pictured. Private access to a beautiful, small lake. Gorgeous grounds. Well-appointed house with all amenities.
We would love to come back when the weather is warmer and we can play in the lake. But just sitting on the deck watching the fish jump was wonderful.
