We stayed here for 2 nights (5 adults and 2 kids) in January and the photos do not do this place justice! The house and location are absolutely beautiful. The kitchen was fully stocked and we had all the supplies we needed to prepare a fancy dinner. Bathrooms and outdoor spaces were also stocked with your basic needs. And there were lots of games and activities for all ages. Cindy was a great host and was very responsive throughout. Overall, highly recommend and we're hoping to come back in the summer!

The stay was fine, we really just needed a space to have our son and his wife and our grandbaby to come for the day to celebrate Christmas. We were looking forward to a relaxing evening in the hot tub after they left but no such luck, it didn’t work. I also think the cleaning fee is a little high for all the stuff they expect you to do yourself.

We've stayed in many rentals all over the world, and this may have been the best stocked one ever! Hosts seem to have anticipated any and every need for enjoying the beautiful Lake Whatcom area. The home is spectacular with great indoor and outdoor living in all seasons, beds are super comfy, and the pool table with gorgeous lake view was a big hit!

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with our family at lake Whatcom. The property was impeccable. The kitchen was well supplied and there were ample toys to amuse young children. The beds were comfy and the view was spectacular. Within a mile or so there was a county park with trails enough fir the family!

Our family (including dog) celebrated thanksgiving at this lovely and well equipped home in a beautiful setting! Water view, hot tub, massive outdoor fireplace - and excellent living arrangements for our family of 7. Our weather was great! Location excellent. We were so pleased with this home!

The house was perfect for our girls winter getaway - very well equipped, attention to detail, both in amenities offered and guidelines for guests.
Although the house can accommodate a much larger group than 3, it was very cosy. We couldn't have wished for more.
Except for the winter storm and power outage! Cindy immediately called offering help and useful tips to get us through. It was a very thoughtful and unexpected gesture and much appreciated.
We'd love to return to take advantage of the outdoor space and amenities - it would be a perfect summer vacation home as well as being great for the rest of the year.
As it was we braved the wind and rain to walk to The Fork, which was very good for lunch.
We will be back!!

My family and I recently stayed at Cindy’s for our vacation and it was perfect! Communication was excellent as well as the overall house accommodations. The house was beautiful with an incredible outdoor patio setup that made for the best morning coffee setup overlooking the lake. The house was unbelievably clean and everything was labeled almost like she knew we what questions we’d ask! All of the accommodations for the kids were great as well as Cindy provided endless activities to keep them busy and having fun throughout the whole trip. We loved our stay and are absolutely looking forward to staying there again! Couldn’t recommend Cindy enough and her beautiful lake house.

We had a wonderful time staying here. Cindy was very fast to respond to any questions we had. The beds were so comfortable. My two teenage kids said it was the best nights sleep. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We had the best four days in this awesome house! It is stocked with everything you could need and is very welcoming and comfortable. The outdoor areas are beautiful and we spent countless hours outside at the table playing games while enjoying the views. We rented a boat that we were lucky enough to use straight from the houses dock- which made the trip. The lake and area is just gorgeous and we can’t wait to return!! Thank you!

Our family visited your lovely home and had a great time. The home was exactly like the pictures. The kids enjoyed playing pool, badminton, standup paddle boarding, and playing on the giant lily pad in the water. We're already planning on returning because we loved our stay.

This luxurious cabin with amazing outdoor dining area and patios was well stocked and had something for everyone! We really loved the open layout that really took advantage of the view, the mix of modern & rustic styling and all of the fun amenities that were included. We enjoyed the pool table, hot tub, kayaks & paddle board, and easily connected our Fire stick to watch our favorite shows. It was very hard to leave and we already look forward to going back!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. The house was well equipped and even had a bunch of toys for the 4 year old. I would definitely recommend for families.

Can’t say enough about the fantastic time our family had at this property. From the well appointed kitchen, to the hot tub spa, the fireplace, the pool table, the dock, and kayaks and paddle boards were all excellent. We also really enjoyed hiking at Whatcom Park which was about 1 mile away. We will definitely be returning.

The outdoor spaces were nicely thought out, the views were amazing and the house was beautiful. The owner had everything clearly marked and well stocked. The beds were comfy. We had a great weekend, plenty of space. We appreciated some lake time with the toys by the beach. We would definitely stay again.

We had a large group of people, doing mostly outdoor activities in the mountains. The place was well-suited for large dinners and hang out. It was shoulder season we were there so we didn’t use the lake but it looked great.

Our group (4 adults and one kid) had a great time. Weather wasn’t the best for most of trip but it waa nice to hang out, play pool and enjoy the hot tub. We’d love to be back in the summer!

Our stay with short, but sweet and everything was as advertised. The house is gorgeous, and the lake is beautiful. Kayaking really put the soul rest.

Myself and 5 friends had a lovely stay. The house is incredibly comfortable and has great amenities. The covered, outside fireplace and hot tub made it possible for us to be outside in the cold and enjoy the beautiful view/stars at night. Cindy was very thoughtful and responsive. We will definitely be back!

I stayed her with a group of six friends and we all agreed that this was a great house, beautiful location and very clean. They’re a couple things we wish we have known so putting those here for potential renters. The host has a longer list of cleaning and check-out responsibilities than most places we’ve stayed which she emailed/called/texted mid-stay to make sure we saw and included requiring renters to do all the towel laundry before leaving which is something new added at least for our experiences. Second, since the house is on a septic tank with water flow limits you are asked to only run one thing at a time - this means you need to be more planful (e.g. people need to stagger their showers after a hot-tub, or the morning of checkout can get tight with needing to run the washer, dishwasher and get any showers in before your departure.) All in all a lovely location and we recommend to others if if the water limitations and laundry are something that will work for you!

The property was great! Everyone enjoyed the hot tub & pool table & the view! We came for some skiing, relaxation, and to visit some of the great breweries in Bellingham. Very family friendly and comfortable. Loved all the towels, and the shampoo & soap in the showers, and all the dishes...plenty of everything!

The house is beautiful. The space worked well for all of us. Daughter with young family took the lowest level and that gave a bit more room to sprawl out. I took the room with the view. Lake was gorgeous to look at.

Visited during off-peak season and was a nice quite long weekend getaway. Property was exactly as described and communication with host was excellent. Have stayed in many rentals and this is the first time we have felt we were more of a guest than a customer.

The setting, on the shore of Lake Whatcom is great. The house itself is very interesting architecturally - massive wooden beams and pillars, four levels - game room in basement, open kitchen area on first floor, bedrooms on second floor and a small loft at the top which our 10 year old twin daughters loved. Outdoor fireplace, hot tub, grill and griddle. Kitchen is very well equipped. We cooked Christmas dinner for six adults and three children.
The owner, Cindy, was very helpful. Clear instructions on just about everything you need to know to use and maintain the property.

The house was beautiful, clean and perfectly decorated for Christmas. My two young kids loved all the toys downstairs and the swing set outside. It was too cold to go on the lake for us, but it well stocked with anything you could want for lake activities. The views from the house were absolutely stunning. Cindy was great at checking in, to make sure everything was going good for us. It was the perfect place for our family vacation, we will definitely be back!

This is a wonderful house inside and out. Plenty of space for the two couples and a dog. There are very few places that are generous in their amenities but we felt very taken care of in this house. There were extra blankets in each bedroom and extra blankets for outside, plenty of seating in and out, lots of firewood for the outdoor fire, and nice warm gas fireplaces inside. It’s set up very well for entertaining. While there are plenty of pots and utensils you’ll need to bring all the ingredients for cooking/baking (cooking oil, flour, baking soda or baking powder, sugar, etc). The owner called us to make sure we were settling in ok and gave advice on parks to check out which we appreciated. Plenty of space to gather together or to enjoy time separately. It was very rainy and windy so we didn’t have a chance to use the water sports stuff but appreciated the ability to access it. We would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed everything about this property. Communication with Cindy, the well organized immaculate home, beautiful views all made for lovely stay. We hope to come back when we can enjoy some lake activities. Thank you!

We stay at a great many vacation rentals every year and have really high expectations for a property. I have to say that this was one of the nicest match of house setup, property, amenities, location, and views.
We usually stay a week at Chelan in the summer, but this year it just got to be too expensive. We were not familiar with Lake Whatcom, but after visiting, we were very impressed. The town of Bellingham has a great selection of nice grocery stores, restaurants, and things to do. Lake Whatcom has extremely clear and surprisingly warm water. The views are stunning.
The house has plenty of room to hang out and gather both inside and out. The kitchen is one of the best stocked kitchens we have experienced at a rental. The owner was extremely responsive. We had an AC issue and a technician was out within 3 hours of calling and fixed the issue.
This property is very close to the lakefront. You just have to cross a rural road that is not that busy. The waterfront and dock were spectacular. We brought our 22' pontoon and it was a great fit. Any bigger boat than that and you will have to park your trailer somewhere off property.
The fishing was beyond belief, as we caught more than 100 fish that week, many of them decent. A few 3 to 4 pound smallmouth. Everywhere we went on the lake the fish were there and biting, even at 2pm on an 85 degree day. Be aware, there is no gas filling station on the lake (that we could find), so you will need a gas can.
Will return again, for sure.

This home is exceptionally beautiful and well maintained. Our executives were so impressed that they moved the meetings from another home to this one because of it's open layout. They were only in meetings for a couple hours on 2 days but it was a good set up. Would definitely recommend this place and will keep it in mind for future trips.

We had a wonderful experience staying at this beautiful home. The lake was spectacular, and we had all the tools necessary to fully enjoy it, from boats and life jackets to lounge chairs and coffee. The neighborhood was peaceful and safe, and the proximity to Bellingham was close enough to be convenient, yet far enough away to feel removed from it all. It was a great trip for the entire family. We would definitely go back.
