Read on to learn more about the best place to stay in Bellingham! * Please note: Main floor of our home is rented out as a separate unit. And as this is a basement-level apartment, our ceilings aren’t super high and there is potential that you may hear some foot steps. See the “Other things to note” section for more details. CENTRAL BELLINGHAM LOCATION Downstairs guest suite is centrally located in downtown Bellingham, Washington, which is an outdoorsy city on a scenic bay where people come to get outdoors. We are five blocks from the popular Bellingham Farmers Market and a 15-minute walk to Bellingham Bay. Here, check out Waypoint Park which is leading the city’s waterfront redevelopment efforts with beach and grassy areas, beautiful landscaping, a steel art installation and a bmx track! You’ll also have easy access to all the hiking and mountain biking trails that run through – and surround – the city. From our apartment, walk to cool craft breweries, local shops and some of the city’s best restaurants – all within a few blocks. In fact, Aslan Brewing Co. and the Community Food Co-op are one block away while two blocks down the road is N State Street which is a hub of activity. Take your pick of fresh seafood restaurants or enjoy one of these cuisines: Mediterranean, Italian, Mexican, German, Cajun or Peruvian (we love Cafe Rumba!). And beyond Bellingham, many awe-inspiring wonders of the Pacific Northwest are near. The alpine dream of North Cascades National Park is an hour and a half away. As is Mount Baker where you can ski everything from green to double black diamond runs. We are just inland from the famous San Juan Islands where adventures of all kinds abound – from sailing and whale watching to golfing, horseback riding and farm visits. And for some big town buzz, the seaport city of Vancouver is just an hour north. ARRIVAL You will access Downstairs guest suite through our fenced backyard, via a gate with a keypad/lockbox that is just for this unit (the upper unit has a separate gate). Walk along the sidewalk on the right side and go down seven stairs to reach the apartment door. LIVING ROOM Once inside, you’ll be welcomed by our open-concept apartment that’s light and modern – and more airy than you’d think. To the left is our living room which revolves around a mid-century modern sofa. Cozy up here, whether for drinks after your day’s adventures or a movie marathon as the fireplace is aglow. You can also get out board games for friendly competition around the coffee table. A gray armchair, black-and-white rug and colorful mountain artwork round out the Pacific Northwest vibe in here. KITCHEN & DINING AREA Our kitchen is straight back from the entry door, full of white cabinets and ceramic subway tile. Natural light filters in through a window above the sink while dimmable recessed lighting lets you control the ambience. Enjoy granite countertops, all-new stainless steel appliances and everything you need to make a delicious meal. We also have your coffee needs covered – a coffee pot, Keurig, K-Cup pods, sugar and creamer included. Speaking of coffee, our dining area is the place to settle down with a cup (or two). More windows abound here and the seating is lovely: A circular table is joined by black ‘50s-inspired chairs and a striking modern bench. But our favorite design touch? A mini gallery wall with an orange print that says “This must be the place.” Indeed! 2 BEDROOMS A cheerful bedroom with a queen bed is located off the living room. Rest easy among a picture window that brings in sunlight and a comfy bed with a green velvet headboard. A throw pillow and abstract art add fun pops of color. And bedside tables and lamps make you feel more at home. Our other bedroom is located off the kitchen and comes with a king bed with a tufted faux leather headboard. A green accent wall that recalls a Northwest forest is decorated with woven baskets and modern black and glass sconces. This room also has a picture window and a closet for your belongings. It’s worth noting: Our bedroom windows look out to a bamboo garden that’s fenced off for your privacy. And while the photos don’t show it, our bedroom windows (and all windows in the apartment) come with Roman shades. 1 BATHROOM A full bathroom is by the second bedroom. It has a modern white vanity, radiant heated floors and a tiled shower. There’s also a porcelain bathtub so you can take soothing bath soaks following a day of walking, hiking, biking and more.
