We wanted a relaxing place to stay close to Bellingham as our oldest son was starting his first year at Western. It was so fun to be able to have the lake, kayaks, SUP and the fire pit! We all loved it!

Getaway for my Mom with my brothers, and this was the perfect home base for our weekend in Bellingham. Close to town, but perfectly relaxing. House had it all! Only 10mins from Downtown Bellingham where we enjoyed the WWU Campus, farmers market, shopping, and restaurants. Will definitely book here for our next trip to the area.

Enjoyed our stay at the house; we had a long weekend workshop that went late each day, so we were only able to partially take in the lovely location and house; it would be nice to return for pure leisure and enjoy just being on the lake.

Lots of things show how much the hosts care for and consider their guests. Water toys all right at hand, firewood ready, bikes awaiting. We moored our own boat and caught bass in it and swam from it. Lots to like, thank you!

Everything about our stay was amazing. The view from the property was beautiful especially at sunset. Ours kids had the best time and got to kayak and stand up paddle board for the first time. We will definitely be booking this property again in the future.

We loved 7 Cedars lake house. Great location, had all the amenities we could hope for. Great deck to dine, read, visit and watch the beautiful lake. Plenty of kayaks, paddle boards for our party of 5. Loved the dock, fire pit, and the bunnies running around the garden. Truly a fabulous vacation for our family.

This was our first family vacation with our kids and their spouses along with 3 grandkids and grand dog Bruno. Everyone enjoyed it so much that it will most likely be an annual event. The lake house was perfect for a short getaway and the weather was perfect too.

Another great stay at our annual visit to Seven Cedars! Our family and friends consider our vacation there the highlight of the summer. That's why we keep coming back year after year. It's a wonderful place and we highly recommend staying there! The Henriksons

We came for the Bellingham Marathon. The location on the lake is a great place for a family vacation. It has good access being close to I-5. Lots of water activities, as well as cozy inside and equipped for young kids. Great view of lake if weather isn’t great. Seating and dishes for a large group was important for us also. Responsive hosts.

We came to enjoy a short vacation after we witnessed our nephew graduate from UW. What we found was a welcoming home away from home. The view of the lake and natural surroundings was breathtaking. Kayaking everyday and bonfires every night, it was such a stress-free getaway. We are already planning our return here next year or so. Thanks for opening up your home for us!

Lovely, clean property. Our only complaint was that both full and half bathrooms were on first floor while three of four bedrooms were on second. Otherwise very well appointed. We really appreciated use of paddle boards and kayaks.

The property is very warm, cared for and complete with all amenities! Especially welcoming were all the towels, very equipped kitchen, toys, toy closet, high chair and even beach toys readily available in a toy box on the beach. Very wonderful owner who checked in on us first before sending someone to do some work. Lovely deck, patio furniture, large yard and view for all to enjoy ! Wonderful host who lives on property if you needed anything.

We enjoyed our stay on Lake Samish very much. The house was very nice, clean and well stocked and the beds very comfortable. We docked a fishing boat and sailboat on the dock and enjoyed both fishing in the mornings and sailing later in the day. The steep driveway is a little tricky to maneuver and didn't provide much room for parking but we were able to find parking on the road for boat trailers. We enjoyed a ride to Edison for lunch and snacks and used the bbq to make dinners to eat on the deck in the evening. A peaceful and relaxing place to stay.

10/10

This beautiful house on Lake Samish was perfect for our family and friends in town for our son’s wedding! The kitchen was well-appointed for a large group and our party of 8 had plenty of privacy in our separate bedrooms but lots of space to eat and play games in the living areas. We were able to take a couple of days after all the hustle and bustle of the wedding to enjoy the lawn, fire pit, kayaks and spacious deck. Communication with the hosts was clear and easy. We definitely recommend this lake house for families or large groups, and hope we have occasion to stay again ourselves!

This was our second family trip to this wonderful property on Lake Samish and we had a fabulous time, once again! It's the perfect spot to kick back and relax. We particularly enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. Our young girls loved playing with sand toys and wading into the water. The expansive lawn was also great for chasing bubbles. Beds were comfy and kitchen fully stocked! The caretaker, Pam, who lives below was very friendly and helpful and Peter was very responsive when we had a question during our stay. We also rented a pontoon boat from Lazy Days Pontoon rentals which was a fun way to explore the whole lake from our convenient dock. Can't wait to come back!

The setting is absolutely gorgeous-large windows and sliding glass door open onto an expansive deck which looks out over the lawn and onto the lake. The neighborhood is very quiet and serene. We were a group of 6 bicycle riders with an RV, van and 2 dogs and it worked perfectly for us. The kitchen is well stocked so you can cook for a crowd. The kayaks and paddle boards were an extra treat. I would LOVE to bring my family back again. The Hosts were very responsive. Thank you Peter and Sarah for such a great stay and a wonderful kick off for our adventure!

The check-in process is extremely easy, you walk in the front door and immediately you see the lake in the back yard. From the house it’s beautiful green rolling grass all the way to the beautiful sandy lake. Our family is fortunate enough to be able to stay here every year (is this year 5?). My grandchildren, nieces, nephews and sister have all learned to kayak and paddle-board here. The water equipment is for you to use at your leisure even the lifejackets. The cooks in the family cook up a storm and we don’t have to worry about bringing measuring cups salt, pepper, flour & basic items are here in the wonderfully stocked kitchen cabinet. Thank you for all our beautiful memories we’ve created here as a family.

The house is very outdated, spider webs on the ceiling, very old kitchen utensils and only has 1 & 1/4 bathrooms. Can’t swim in the lake in front of the house as the lake grass has taken over. Unfortunately it is the worst home we have booked.
