A truly amazing rental that felt like home to our family who were in town for a family wedding. Everything was perfect, and the location could not have been better for the wedding event venues. We hiked Whatcom Falls Park every morning which was delightful.
House is in a great area and the nearby parks are simply amazing. Owner is very responsive to messages and was accommodating of an early check in request. Only downsides are that ther eis an attached ADU that wasn't mentioned in the listing (not really a big deal) and several fixtures need repair and show their age a bit. Would also have loved to have had garage access (though I knew there was no garage from the listing). Overall I think this is a great place and I'd stay again.
My adult kids live in Bellingham & it is easier to come to them & enjoy the beauty of the area. This house had plenty of sleeping room & hanging out rooms, a beautiful view & "glass" room to enjoy.
Our family of 9 people stayed here to celebrate our WWU graduation. It was a perfect place with plenty of room for all of us. We loved access to the walking trails and its central location to everything!
My adult children met us here to visit our daughter in Bellingham! We loved the park nearby, the biking trails, and the town of Bellingham. The house suited our needs well and provided a peaceful, beautiful setting to reconnect with our family!

We loved this house- plenty of room for all of our group with privacy. We enjoyed hanging out together in the sun room and watching the deer in the beautiful back garden. Lovely and well-equipped kitchen let us host extended family for a meal- definitely a great property!
the home is beautiful and with the park close by it feels like being out in the woods yet you are close to everything in bellingham, it was a great stay
We stayed 10 days and really enjoyed the place and had a wonderful time. The place is located just around the block from a beautiful park. The place is large and comfortably accommodated our group of 6. It is tastefully decorated, well equipped and comfortable. The host was responsive and helpful.
Property was a nice place to stay not too far from downtown Bellingham with great access to the nearby park with a beautiful waterfall walk. The kids loved playing the piano and listening to music. Would stay again!

Great Location
My wife and I loved that the house backed up to the park. I was able to mountain bike and she could go for a hike right from the house. Perfect location.
This was our home base while in town for our daughter's wedding and it worked perfectly. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, there was plenty of bathroom space for everyone to get ready for the big event. Quiet setting next to the park.
We have stayed at this property three times in 7 years and we all have fond memories of the sunroom, backyard, access to walking trails, peaceful setting, and even the steam shower! Erik is a great host. Plenty of towels for our group and a well supplied kitchen make this a home away from home.
We thoroughly enjoyed this home for a daughter's wedding in Bellingham. It was the perfect size for my wife and I and a family of 6 with us. The beds were reasonably comfortable, and the supply cabinets were generous. The access to the park was perfect for a relaxing walk to Whatcom Falls. Thanks to the management!
This house was exactly like the listing. Perfect house for 4 couples. Kitchen was great and the beds were comfortable. The backyard was beautiful with visits from bunnies and deer. Erik, the owner, communicated with me well.
We needed a place with 4 bedrooms for multiple couples ranging in age from 20’s to 70’s. We loved that each bedroom had a king size comfortable bed with plenty of pillows and blankets. The bathrooms are spacious and nice. The kitchen had everything we needed. And the family enjoyed having walking trails so easy to access. I’d definitely stay here again and would recommend it. It was a nice neighborhood and close enough to anything we needed.
Plenty of room for our group of 5 friends. We loved the hot tub, and walking out the back door to hiking trails. Kitchen has everything we needed and the weather was spectacular! (Not sure that is guaranteed for future renters (-:) It was the perfect home base for us to explore the San Juan islands, Vancouver, BC and Mt. Baker.
Big enough for our yearly guys' weekend activities of eating, drinking, and playing board games. Got to watch some deer munching on plants in the backyard. Close enough to the park for a nice long walk, and secluded enough that there wasn't any real outside noise to speak of. Short drive to downtown Bellingham and all the great things there as well.
The home is lovely and spacious. There were 8 of us with plenty of room to spread out and sleep. From there, we day-tripped to Vancouver, Seattle, and the North Cascades. The kids went to Whatcom Falls Park every day, a 5 min walk. Other major perks: the piano and hot tub! Both were used daily. Everyone in the family would enthusiastically recommend this listing.
Location, backyard, space for family to spread out are the key benefits for this property. Definitely walk to the falls if you stay here! Lovely walk right on the park. We were all family in town for a wedding and stayed here. It was perfect location with loads of hang out space so we didnt feel on top of eachother and rooms for everyone. All in all it was perfect for our stay
Only minor call out is that alot of the outside furniture was too dirty to sit on and we wiped a bunch of the chairs down in order to enjoy dinner at the outside table. The upstairs deck and chairs could do with a clean too.
We enjoyed our stay and the house fit our needs well. Great location near nature and a close drive to downtown. It’s worth noting that you don’t have garage access which we had not realized in advance. There’s also an additional attached unit with someone present which we didn’t know. It wasn’t a problem, just felt it should have been in listing. Overall, a good stay.
The only reason for a 4 out of 5 in cleanliness were some ants. The host was glad I brought it to his attention so that he can take care of it. I am quite positive that the next time we stay there we won’t see any.
The property and house was gorgeous and just what we expected from the photos. The host was easily accessible when needed. It was the perfect spot to go downtown, yet come back to quiet, serene neighborhood. Close to parks, nature, waterfall, and the river. We will be back.
