Seven Cedars was exactly what we were looking for, a quiet piece of heaven. My family was comfortable in our rooms and living space and enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks on the lake. The kitchen was well equipped for a family dinner. The hosts were very helpful and easily accessible, while the groundskeeper was sure to help us remain comfortable.

Lovely lakeside location

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.

Great Bellingham Stay

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.

Great Lake getaway

Our family had a wonderful time staying at this property. We rent a lake house every summer and this one is in the top 2. Upon arrival our 3yr old was so excited as they had tones of toys for her to play with and lots of board games to play. The property has a large beautiful dock the kids swam off of and they supplied several kayaks, paddle boards and life vests that were a blast to take out on the lake. My son and I fished off the dock and the fire pit by the water was great at night. The kitchen was fully supplied so cooking was easy and the large deck was a perfect place for meals. Checking out was a breeze; many places have you do all sorts of tasks before leaving, here it was very simple. We all enjoyed our stay very very much and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun lakeside getaway. We will definitely return for another stay.

Wonderful lake house. Definitely family friendly.

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.

Love, love, love it here!

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.
