About this cabin rental

The Sunshine House is located on Lake Whatcom's more private South Bay. Originally built 100 years ago as an office for a local coal mining company this 2 bedroom home has just been completely restored to a cozy, comfortable lakeside retreat with tons of character. We have created a space perfect for the most romantic getaways or a simple fun family escape.
Each of the 2 bedrooms sleeps four. One room has a queen and a bunk bed and the other has a full and a bunk bed.
Private dock to accommodate your boat and boat launch less then a minute down the road.
The bay is a no-wake zone which makes it great for swimming and paddle sports. A short idle out of the bay lends to great wake boarding, tubing and all other water sports.

The Sunshine House is only a 25 minute (beautiful!) drive to Bellingham which has great antique stores, amazing restaurants, whale watching tours, and at least 9 local breweries (they keep opening up!).
There is beautiful hiking all around us. Stimpson Family Trail (only 10 mins away) and The Pacific Crest Trail (20 mins) are just two great examples.
Mountain biking is one of Bellingham locals favorite activities and it is apparent when you ride up Galbraith Mountain, only 10 to 15 mins away!
Mt. Baker, which holds the world record for the most snow in one year, is only 38 miles away.
We have tons of fun parks including, Lake Padden, Whatcom Falls Park and Boulevard Park.
AND SO MUCH MORE!

The cabin was right next to the lake without crossing a road. It was so fun ! There is a dock to launch kayaks from or fish from. We even jumped in the lake, once. The cabin is furnished very well and the owners have thought of every detail. There is a fire pit and big yard to play games on. Big kitchen with great views and very clean. The cabin sits at the end of a bay with calm water and forest views. It was a great place for six of us for two nights !

This is our second time staying at this house. It is so cozy and just perfect for a short getaway for our family of 4. Canoeing and kayaking on the lake is a highlight. The kitchen has all the items you would need for cooking. Laundry on site is also a plus. Communication and check-in was super easy.

The coziest cottage on the best part of the lake. A beautiful porch overlooks the lake, perfect for morning coffee. House has everything we needed for a pleasant stay, we will be back!
