The northern reaches of Washington are yours to discover at this split-level home just outside downtown Bellingham. Whether you plan to spend your days exploring Lake Whatcom, Mt. Baker, or Bellingham itself, you'll be perfectly placed to do so. You're also a quick trip from Fairhaven and the Bham Cruise Terminal, as well as near I-5 for access to the US/Canada border.
This home sits at the base of mature evergreens in a quiet, residential neighborhood, less than three miles from the center of downtown Bellingham. You'll be one mile from Whatcom Falls Park and only a few miles more from Sudden Valley Golf Course and other recreation areas on the lakeshore. This is also a great spot for day trips, with the Lummi Island Ferry (20 miles), the Anacortes Ferry (37 miles), and Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest (40 miles) all close by.
Step inside to find a living space full of mid-century flair, with an abundance of natural light streaming in through floor-to-ceiling windows. After a day out and about, you can curl up on the sofa with a good book, stream a favorite movie on the smart TV, and flip on the gas fireplace for some added warmth and coziness.
The kitchen is equipped with every essential, including stainless steel appliances and an eat-in dining table. After dinner each evening, head downstairs to the den to find another gas fireplace, another smart TV, and access to the backyard and patio. Additional features of the house include comfortable bedrooms (all on the top floor), a washer/dryer, and complimentary WiFi throughout.

We stayed two nights for a concert and honestly wish we would have stayed longer. Quiet location, very clean, easy check in, and comfortable beds. Would stay again.

Comfortable home with great access to town
Very easy access, clean and well kept home. Very comfortable stay, we enjoyed the week long stay and would highly recommend it to anyone coming to Bellingham!
The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. I can’t stress enough how easy the check in and check out were, and what a wonderful location the house was in. 10/10 !!

Stayed during a home remodel
The home had all the basic necessities and met our needs. The neighborhood was nice and quiet.
Enjoyed the house - it was perfect for our visit with our WWU student and pet. Neighborhood was friendly and quiet. Only wish was that there was more than one pod of coffee!

Perfect Getaway for 4
My wife, sister, and sister’s fiancée travelled up from Tacoma to celebrate mine and my sister’s birthday and this space was perfect. It was close enough to downtown so we could explore, but far enough to be quiet and comfortable for us to retreat to and enjoy each other’s company. I would stay here again.
This was a great property! We had plenty of space and privacy for all 6 of us. The house was well maintained and clean when we showed up. The gas stoves were a nice touch too. If we are looking for place to stay again, this is very high on the list!

Cute house!
This house is cute and has 4 beds, what a deal! It’s in a quiet neighborhood and it was lovely to watch the baby deer in the backyard. Very relaxing and peaceful.
Super location for getting everywhere!!! Great pillows and plenty of towels sheets etc. minimally appointed- so bring some cards. All appliances work and are clean. Beautiful neighborhood and quiet

We had a great time!
The house was great, super location and there was surprisingly a lot more space than we thought. It met all our needs and was a perfect place for our family.
A few people mentioned this also, but the beds are a bit firm ... but we all still slept well. Overall, we were very happy with the house!

Beautiful, spacious and private
This home had plenty of room for everyone. We didn’t need all of the bedrooms, but if we did, it would have been perfect.
We were able to see the northern lights from the front of the house even!
If we ever need a house again while visiting Bellingham, this will be the place!

Convenient and comfortable
The house was sufficient for our needs. We were visiting our daughter at Western and the home is conveniently located and had ample space for our family. The yard was great for our dog and the neighborhood felt safe. The house had the basic amenities, nothing exceptional.

Prompt services
Customer services was good. Home is spacious and comfortable. Owner need to invest in cotton sheets. The microfibre/polyester sheets caused static cling to clothing and hair. No hair dryer. Reasonably clean.
In town for a wedding. Location was convenient. The small sink in the primary bedroom could use a towel bar and the only tub/shower in the home floor creaked as you stood in it, leaving you to feel like you might fall through the floor. House was incredibly hot this time in July and there was not a fan to be found and without any ac we ended up having to purchase a fan to be able to sleep. Basement was a saving grace for keeping cool.
This was the perfect location for our vacation, visiting family nearby. Our kids loved the split level house and there was plenty of room for our family of 4. Though we didn’t utilize it much, there is a big backyard. The 1/2 bath in the master bedroom could be better if the vanity area was a bit bigger, allowed for a towel to be hung and a closer electrical outlet. The shower head in the bathroom is quite low, so if taller than 5’7” be prepared to squat to wash your hair. There were also ants in the bathroom. None of these negatively impacted out stay, just mentioning so others are prepared.
We enjoyed the space. It was quiet and well furnished. Our only complaint is there were some ants coming out of the walls and the keycode to get in was a bit long. But, overall we had a relaxing time.
