Beautiful home away from home!

From the moment we stepped into the bright and welcoming foyer, we knew our stay would be exceptional. The spacious bathrooms, living rooms, and balcony patio offered plenty of room for quiet moments of solitude as well as family gatherings. All areas of the home provided picturesque views of the lake and golf course. The kitchen supplied everything we needed to create a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner. In addition to the great features of the home, its location is only fifteen minutes away from major grocery stores. Thank you Sharon for the use of the rental and communication. I recommend this property for families.

Excellent home near Lake Whatcom

We moved our daughter into an apartment near WWU and this was the perfect place just outside town for us. House is well equipped and as listed, located in a quiet neighborhood very near Lake Whatcom and the golf course, owner’s communication was great, and is just 20 min from WWU and downtown Bellingham. Highly recommend and we look forward to staying here again when we come up visit.

Bellingham home

We were in town for just a few days for a family wedding. There were two couples and two singles in our group, so the four bedroom, three bath home was perfect. The neighborhood is a very nice lakeside property about 15 minutes from downtown Bellingham and had all the amenities we wanted and then some. The deer roaming the neighborhood was an added bonus. The home was well designed, and the furnishings were great. We couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations.

Perfect house for a family weekend

We rented the house for my daughter’s graduation weekend at WWU. It is even better than the pictures. With the decks and the downstairs, there’s plenty of room for people to mingle. The kitchen was well-equipped. There were deer everywhere. It’s a short walk to the shore. Very happy with our experience!

Beautiful and very clean house! Well appointed with nice little touches such as coffee beans ready to ground, decaf tea, toiletries in case something was forgotten. Sharon the owner was very attentive to make sure we had everything we needed. We didn’t have time to enjoy all the amenities such as hot tub or deck fireplace but the beds and rooms were comfortable. Would stay here again! Thanks for sharing your house!

Great house on the lake

We had a great stay on the lake. Sharon was very helpful through all stages from booking until we checked-out. It is a lovely house with great outdoor space on two decks. We had our family with ages 22 to 80, and we all enjoyed it. The marina is just a short walk as well as a pretty park on the shore. The swim beach is a short drive away. We would definitely try to return to this house for future trips.

This was a wonderful property! From 4 bedrooms, to a fully stocked kitchen, to a great location just down the street from Sofield Park in Gate 1; I can't wait to stay here again! Sharon was very communicative, and even left a hand-written note for check-in. Very easy to access the home via keyless entry. Highly recommend for your next stay in Sudden Valley!

Great Family home

We enjoyed this house tremendously and would recommend it for families or some couples planning to enjoy the area for awhile. It is in a quiet development with plenty of mature trees and wildlife around you. It was spotless when we arrived and you could host a large gathering easily with two generous decks and plenty of upscale kitchen amenities. Two very comfortable sitting areas, one on each level and a gas burning stove and large TV in both. My family of 5 was very comfortable here and the hosts were incredibly responsive and detailed in their preparations before our arrival. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent this again!

Beautiful lake property

We had a wonderful time enjoying the snow at this beautiful property located within walking distance of Lake Whatcom. We went last minute because of the need to cancel our holiday travel (Omicron + unvaccinated 3 year old). It snowed the night before we left. What a beautiful place to spend three nights in a winter wonderland! The host had shoveled the driveway and left the fireplaces on for our arrival. We were able to play in snow and snuggle up on the large sectional sofa in front of the gas fireplace for three days. Deer wandered through the neighborhood. It was idyllic. The host updated us via text and was flexible and kind. I was very sad to leave!

BEAUTIFUL HOME!

My wife and I needed a large home for 4 nights in order to have our adult children and their spouses together for an extended Thanksgiving holiday because we live too far away. This home was absolutely perfect in every way. Not only is the house gorgeous, but the beds were all super comfortable, as well as the couches and chairs. The kitchen table was huge which was a big deal for us because we like to play games as well as eat together. The huge plus for my wife was that the kitchen was stocked with everything she needed in order to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner. There were even super nice serving dishes available. We were able to text the owners with any questions and they always responded within minutes. We have rented a few homes for holidays and this was by far the nicest, cleanest, well stocked and most comfortable home we've had the pleasure of staying. There is even a separate Tv room downstairs which was nice when we had extended family with children come over for the day on Thanksgiving. I have nothing negative to say about our stay. It was as perfect as it gets! Thank you to Sharon and Shelly for making our stay so wonderful!

Excellent Location and Views!

The property is located in Sudden Valley with great views of Lake Whatcom. There was some remodeling being done in the lower bathroom but other than that the house was pristine. The neighbor is a nosey Nelly and you will definitely run in to her on your stay. Overall, great experience and working with Sharon was great. She was very accommodating and wants to make sure you enjoy your stay while at the property.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon and Shelly

This is our family's beautiful vacation home that we unfortunately don't find enough time to enjoy. This year we decided to selectively rent out our cottage so other family's can hopefully appreciate our warm and comfortable summer home and beautiful Lake Whatcom. We live a short distance away so we always keep our home and yard clean and very well maintained. If you think this might be your next Spring, Summer, or Fall vacation rental we'd be happy to tell you more about our home, the great amenities around Sudden Valley and beautiful Lake Whatcom.

Why they chose this property

If you like cottage life, a great beach, a beautiful golf course, or boating around Lake Whatcom, then our home is right for you! Since we bought the property in 2009 we have completely renovated our summer house, inside and out, along with landscaping the property. You'll love the huge front and back decks, so you can chase the sun, or avoid it, depending on your preference. Our front deck is the ideal place to be late afternoons and evenings with a gas-burning fire pit and tons of comfy seating. On the back deck you'll find two propane bbq's and a patio area that seats 8 or more, a great place to enjoy a summer meal!

What makes this property unique

Fantastic lake country living with two huge front and back decks, our summer home gives you the best of Lake Whatcom. We are just across the street from the lake and a great public beach and a short drive or walk to the clubhouse at the Sudden Valley golf course. The marina is only a block away so our home is perfect if you plan to do some boating. Drop us a line and we'd be happy to tell you more!
