The best part was the location because it is a quick walk through the park to family. It's very peaceful and quiet. It was quite cold while we were in Bellingham, but it was cozy in this apartment. It was nice to have a free laundry.

Enjoyed staying here, great location. The kitchen was a bit under-par, but everything else was very comfortable. Quite, setting with charming outdoor seating. No air conditioning, but we stayed in August and didn’t miss it. Washer and dryer were appreciated! Amy was very easy to work with when we needed an extra day.

We really enjoyed staying in a neighborhood during our visit. Much more quiet than a motel. Nice to prepare a meal to enjoy with our grandson and his friends (all WWU students) and be able to sit and visit for a while. A tub mat is needed. A very slick tub, so we had to be bery careful.

The entrance to our unit was covered with cobwebs and weird plant debri, making a poor first impression. The inside was clean but very dated. Won’t be back.

My friend and I took a two night trip to B’ham and had a pleasant stay. The location is easily accessible and close to shopping and sights. The neighbors and their dog in unit 6 could be heard on occasion, but nothing I’d consider out of the ordinary or an annoyance. The unit is clean, decorated tastefully and I want all the books on the bookshelf in the bedroom!
I would stay here again. The communication from the property management is top notch!

Have stayed here for three visits to Bellingham. Location is quiet and convenient to Fairhaven and downtown Bellingham. Wi-fi works great.

Overall is served its purpose…a clean place to sleep. We were under the impression that is was within walking distance to downtown Fairhaven which it is not. The 3rd place for a person to sleep is a fold-up cot, so it really only sleeps 2.

This is my fourth time in one of these apartments, and it was every bit as enjoyable as the other visits. Easy access (other than temporary road construction in progress - I did meet a very friendly flagger), very quiet, super comfortable mattress, easy-access laundry facilities and a nice-sized table for setting up my PC.
I spent most of the time hiking in the Chuckanuts, so really appreciated having a comfortable place to recover each night! The library is quite astounding and a very good variety. I can honestly say that I read almost every book...well, the spine at least!
Only one small suggestion - on previous stays, a vacuum was available in the laundry room. It's nice to give the floors a quick once-over during a longer stay.
Thanks for providing and maintaining these units in such a nice way, and for having a pet-friendly unit!
We will be back!

The neighborhood wasn’t picturesque or pleasant and the apartment lacked some basic provisions like soap in the shower. Bring your own everything if you intend to cook. The apt smelled like there could have been smokers in the past. If you have a sensitive back the bed may not be for you. And the neighborhood is quiet but you can hear I5 when the window is open. But it’s conveniently located for access to Fairhaven and an easy place to use as a homebase.

Grounds are well kept and the place was clean. Close to Fairhaven.

Couldn't be better for the price
Roomy, convenient to all parts of town and beyond. Unit itself was clean and livable, two person size. Small kitchen well-equipped.
Owner Amy and her husband were responsive and accommodating,a couple of small issues were resolved immediately.
Most telling part of any review: we would most certainly come back for another stay the next time we're in Bellingham.

Peaceful, homey
Very comfortable. I loved that they have a lot of cozy side-lighting, so you don' t have to use the overhead lights. Very peaceful; a definite feeling of retreat. Cozy rocking chair, amazing set of books in library. Kitchen is tiny, requiring efficiency when cooking, but worked out fine. We were at a seminar and I looked forward to coming back each day. I would recommend.

Comfy, quiet, and as promised
The 1 BR unit was larger than we'd thought and everything was as described. Easy access w/key, quiet friendly neighbors in the other units. And great location in town for our family reunion in Fairhaven....alas, the crazy summer work putting in new water mains meant detours all week along Donavan, but that won't last forever.
The only suggestion I'd make, and it's a small one: put something in the tub to keep from slipping. We used a small bathroom towel...otherwise it's only a matter of time before someone slips and falls.
We'll be back to Bellingham for visits after seeing how beautiful it is in summertime and this spot will be a go to for sure.

I loved it except it didn't have a tv in the bedroom. The landlord answered me when ever I needed something.

Home Away from Home
The Place was so cute and homey. I will be Booking it again. Had such a great time visiting my Neice and Bellingham is such a beautiful town, I did not have enough time to explore all it had to offer, can not wait to go back. I will be staying in this cute place again.

Comfy hideaway
This is an interesting property that I have been by a million times and never realized it was there. It is in a great location and is quiet. The unit was clean and comfortable. I am giving 4/5 stars because there was only the bare minimum towels (including dish towels) and bedding provided. If there is a spill or an issue in the kitchen where we might want to clean water or an accident, we would be forced to figure something else out and perhaps use a bath towel. Otherwise, this was a fine place to stay for a couple of days.

It could have been great
It could have been great but when we arrived the keys were not where they were supposed to be. The assistant manager arrived & found the place had not been cleaned. Owners were nice enough to put us into a hotel for the night. We stayed 6 (supposed to have been 7) nights. A terrible outside smell started the 2nd day . Called & was told there was a salmon carcus in the vacant lot next door. Smell lasted through our stay so not sure if something was dead under the house. The place itself is very cute, laundry use is an added plus, parking is easy & safe, location is great. Just owner & manager need to put in a little more hands on to clean & care for property. Probably would not stay again....wish it would have been better cared for.

Quaint, Quiet Getaway
We enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room. A nice sitting area, cute little kitchen, good sized bedroom, and functional bathroom. Great ambiance. Lots of great books - you would never have enough time to read them all. The artwork on the walls intrigued my wife. The apartment was very clean - although the screen door needed to be cleaned - residue from a climbing plant didn't give a good first impression. Parking was kind of tight, but sufficient. It was a little far from Fairhaven for my taste. It would have been nice to have been walking distance. But it was a very short drive. But it was very quiet. Overall, we were very pleased.
