You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

2 bdrm, Mt Baker, San Juans, WWU, Sea to Ski race, Canada, Golf, Refineries

Rented by owner, no added on agent fees.
Recently updated home in Whatcom County, Washington with 2 bedrooms (queen beds), 2 full bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, big screen tv, washer & dryer. Furnished with bedding, towels, cooking utensils, dishes, pots and pans, coffee pot, blender, toaster, hair dryer, shampoos, soaps, laundry supplies, etc. Large deck including propane BBQ grill, deck chairs, and table with 4 chairs overlooking the golf course and sweeping views of Mt. Baker and the San Juan Islands.

We provide the essentials for your entire stay - paper towels, laundry supplies, dish soap, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, garbage bags, etc. You should not have to go to a store for those types of items.

Located for easy access: Silver Reef Casino for entertainment, getting pampered at the spa, and dining at their many restaurants, including their award winning restaurant The Steakhouse (2 miles); Bellingham Airport (11 miles); Western Washington University (20 mins.); Mt. Baker for world class skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and more (1.25 hours); San Juan Islands for fishing, crabbing, and exploring (20 min. trip from Sandy Point Marina where you can launch your boat); and Canada (25 mins. north on I-5 corridor to the border). Also located near the refineries for short-term housing while working turnarounds.

Good location for the annual Sea to Ski race from Mt Baker to Bellingham Bay, whether participating or observing.

Close to the ferry to Lummi Island where the Willows restaurant is located, run by award winning chef, Blaine Wetzel.

The golf course is a 9 hole course open to the public with a $10 fee and access is steps away from the house. Small playground near the clubhouse. Ideal place for out-of-town guests if you do not have room for them. Save money over a hotel as you can do your own cooking.

Bring your boat and launch at the Marina minutes away and come home to relax in the evenings instead of trying to find dock space or a buoy in the busy summer months. Many good walking beaches nearby.

Eagle watching: the road from the house to the casino follows the Red River, you can often spot bald eagles in the trees next to the road. Sometimes the eagles harass the ducks that are on the golf course in front of the house. Makes for a front row seat to see bald eagles in their natural habitat.

If the timing is right, and we are not working or out of town, we would be happy to stock the house before your arrival, if you provide a grocery, beer, wine or alcohol list.

The house was exactly what we wanted. Very clean and well equipped with a deck overlooking the nearby golf course and the bay. The welcome back with wine, crackers and more was a nice surprise. It was a great location, 15-30 minutes from Bellingham and Ferndale with plenty of wonderful restaurants and coffee shops. The hosts sent us all the information we needed and were very responsive to questions. We would definitely recommend.

DELIGHTFUL STAY
Our three night stay was thoroughly enjoyable. We appreciated the generous welcome baskets both for ourselves and our pups, and found the kitchen well stocked, immaculately clean, and fun to use. We enjoyed picnics and cafés in scenic local county parks, Birch Bay, Semiahmoo, and Bellingham. The large back deck was a great spot for relaxing. We'd go back again anytime!

Beautiful location and Home
We loved this home so much! The views are amazing day and night! We arena family of 4 on vacation with our fur babies and it was exactly the right size for us to hang out for a few days after driving and staying in hotels, this was exactly what we needed a home away from home! We had a medical emergency with my oldest son! Even though we were far from city life, the local EMT got him to St Joseph in Bellingham where they saved his life after 3 back to back grand Mal seizures! He stopped breathing at the house and at the hospital! Very fortunate to be alive without complications.

Comfortable, quiet, great view
My adult son and I needed a comfy place between Seattle and Canada to meet my cousin and his wife for a few days. One requirement was parking for a large camper and truck. Another was a well-stocked kitechen (we like to cook). This home had everything we needed, and more. The large, furnished deck overlooks a quiet golf course with water view beyond, tbe perfect spot to drink coffee in the morning and relax in the evening. The large kitchen was wonderful for group cooking. The dishwasher was most welcome. Don't be put off by the run-down homes on the route here: the homes in this rural subdivision are well-maintained. Neighbors are friendly and quiet.

Didn’t want to leave!
The house was clean, the view exceptional, and the description was accurate. The house was conveniently located - in a secluded neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle, but still close to amenities/attractions. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen amenities were plentiful. The welcome basket was an added bonus. Jakki was responsive and helpful. After our 10 day stay, we did not want to leave her house and would not hesitate to stay there again!

The house is comfortable, beautiful views, in a quiet neighborhood, the easiest check in and check out requirements and not a bad drive to Mount Baker. If you are looking for a good restaurant Anthony’s is the best and only 20 minutes away.

We had a very enjoyable week long visit. The house is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We really enjoyed the view from the deck and the apples fresh from the trees. The location was suitable for most of the activities we desired. A very nice stay and would highly recommend to others!

Great Relaxing Getaway
Spent a relaxing long weekend here with a couple friends. The space is comfortable and has all the amenities we could have wanted. Beautiful views from the spacious deck. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you'd need to cook meals. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, about a 25 minute drive from Bellingham. I have no hesitation about recommending this place and would happily stay again in the future.

November Family Reunion
We met up at this house in Ferndale, central for us all. Nice quiet neighborhood and clean house with view of golf course. Peaceful! Lots of waterfowl, since a flooded golf course. Heat easy to operate and set. We enjoyed ourselves. Owners very helpful. I would recommend these small things: 1) add a potato masher, sieves of several sizes and a heavy duty soup pot with lid, to the kitchen supplies. 2) reading lamps on end tables in living room would help. We improvised. Appreciated the vast number of tv stations!

Peaceful place to stay. Served all our needs. Only problem was low water pressure in the sink faucet of second bath and no cold water feed from cold water hose feeding the washing machine. I only mention this to alert the owners. It did not affect the quality of our stay.

We were up here for a wedding in Bellingham. This cute little place was just close enough AND just far enough away from family. The views are gorgeous! The place was very clean.

Jakki has the touch to make you feel welcomed to her home, even in the midst of No Contact check-in. We had everything we needed for a long relaxing weekend. The views were something that we were drawn to. It was great to have a good snuggle and watch the sun rise. The property is just enough off the beaten track to feel like a great get-away, but close enough to groceries, great restaurants and other activities that are abundant in the area.
