Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Gorgeously situated on the eastern shores of Lake Whatcom, this two-bedroom home in Bellingham is full of breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. In this quintessential Pacific Northwest setting, you'll have a private dock on the lake, a small beach to yourselves, and an outdoor firepit at the water's edge. This house is close to Chuckanut Drive, a beautiful coastal drive that passes multiple state parks and hiking and mountain biking trails.

Take the ramp or the small staircase to enter this lakefront home, where an open floor plan will greet you, along with exposed beam ceilings and plentiful windows framing the lake. The living room is both bright and cozy, offering an overstuffed sofa and armchairs, a wood-burning stove, and a TV and DVD player, with both streaming capability and a DVD library for your viewing pleasure.

Prepare breakfast with a view each morning in the well-appointed kitchen with butcher-block countertops, and eat at the spacious farm table or outside on the covered deck. In the day ahead, you can swim from the dock or the private beach, whip up a barbecue lunch on the gas grill, and share s'mores and stories around the firepit. A washer/dryer is provided to refresh your swimsuits and beach towels each evening.

THINGS TO KNOW
The grill is seasonally available in the spring and summer.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 4 vehicles.

What a fantastic lake cottage! Clean, well stocked (except for spices. Had to go out and buy S&P!) But to was just a lovely, clean and well-appointed cottage for a weekend at the lake. Wood stove was a plus. Access to some wonderful parks and the city was easy and fun!

Laketime
The property was wonderful. The house is great. Clean, comfortable bed and couch. But I HATE Vacasa. They will not leave you alone. Constantly sending texts or emails. They also added an additional day to my stay without my authorization and would not get back to me when I tried to cancel it. I hope the property owner thinks about using a different property manager. I will never rent from a Vacasa managed home again

Great venue for a family on the water
Splendid retreat for a single family with young kids eager to play in the lake and sit by a campfire. (4 stars). For adults, the property is limited. One bathroom, one mirror and one 3x3 standup shower. The bedrooms and bath are well appointed, but small for adults. Not a good venue for 2 adult couples or adult family with adult kids, who are sharing tight accommodations (that was us). Remote at the end of Lake Whatcom, so bring everything. No coffee and No wine to welcome you. Lots of mosquitos. Overall very comfortable. A few upgrades, plus a second bathroom and screened porch would make this a fantastic place.

Quiet cabin on a lake
This lovely cabin is at the end of the road on the shore of Lake Whatcom. Quiet, clean, with comfortable bed and furniture. Just a note if you are mobility impaired: there is a ramp to the entry and good mobility inside. The bathroom is a tight fit for a walker, but I found it doable.

We opted for a VRBO instead of a hotel so we could be near the lake in between hockey games. Glad we did! It was relaxing and beautiful.

Exceptional place to stay
All the added amenities like Bluetooth speaker, extra seating pads for benches, well-appointed kitchen appliances & cooking/dinnerware. Even the knives and the pots/pans are in great condition like my own kitchen. Not the usual "crap in a rental". Generous supply of towels for beach as well as inside. Extra blankets/throws for warmth/snuggling. Wall hooks in addition to hangers for clothes. Spacious bedrooms. Really thoughtful touches everywhere! Makes me think this home was designed with the owners' use in mind. The place can accommodate up to 8. I would like to return with family. Only drawback is 1 bathroom. We are a couple who stayed.

Wonderful stay for childhood friends
I recently stayed in this home with four of my childhood friends. We descended from the east coast, Midwest and PNW. We stayed here for three nights and it was perfect. This place is everything the pictures show and more. Highly recommend this spot and look forward to come back!
