Top Lake Whatcom Hotel Reviews

Beautiful newer home in Sudden Valley offering stunning lake view, golf and more

10/10 Excellent

"The home was clean, comfortable and as nice as description described. We would rent this property again."

Charming cozy cottage in beautiful surroundings minutes from outdoor adventures.

10/10 Excellent

"A very comfortable house and clean"

Cozy 1-bedroom forest retreat in gorgeous Bellingham

8/10 Good

"Nice location and vibe for the price. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The entire unit was very clean and easy to access. The master bed was a king and very comfortable. The pull-out bed in the living room is a double, but it has a large gap down the middle, so it feels more like a twin. The apartment was well appointed, and everything worked. This unit is on the ground floor, and there is another unit above, so when people enter or exit the property, they go right past your window. As well, you hear everything in the upstairs apartment, from talking to television to people stomping on the floor. The stairs to access the unit from the street are quite steep and may be challenging for the elderly or people with disabilities. We loved the location and relaxing on the deck."
