Very comfortable and cozy house

We had a great stay at this house for about two weeks; it's a cozy cottage but with plenty of room for our whole family. We really appreciated that everything from dishwashing liquid to laundry soap were provided, so all we had to do was move in! It was a great location, convenient to our relatives' house and close to all Bellingham amenities.

This is an old house with heat issues, lighting issues, slow drains and cheap window coverings. A gas stove with one burner dial taped off with “do not use” did not convey confidence in care and safety. The beds and mattresses were unacceptably bad.

Just what we needed

Very cute and compact little house, reminded me of my 1930s era house in Seattle. Very good stay. Marissa was very accommodating and helped us fit 7 in the house. Had the family in for our son's Senior Recital. I liked the proximity to Woods coffee and Fred Meyers just up the street and easy access to I5. That easy access comes with a price, traffic noise. Not too bad with the windows closed.

Loved this adorable, well appointed home in such a perfect location! Definitely coming back!

Such a charming and wonderful house for our needs; it is everything we hoped for a quick stay in Bellingham, and I found the location super convenient. Love the functional furnishings, creative decor and especially all the bright colors. Great layout and very comfortable. And couldn't have asked for a better host. Communications were on point. Thanks so much, looking forward to visiting again soon if there is any availability!

Great place! Absolutely perfect for our stay, and hope to come back!

Marissa's home was perfect for our stay. The home is exactly as described and better. There were 6 of us staying at the house. We made dinner and invited friends over who live in Bellingham. The kitchen has all the basics to cook at home and some extras. The home was extremely clean and is stocked well. The location was perfect for exploring the city and accessing the trails for a walk, hike or bike ride. We would definitely book this home again when visiting Bellingham.

Cheaper than multiple hotel rooms but lacking comfort.

Three bedrooms all upstairs and shared one half bath, no shower. Shower was on main floor. Kitchen lacked decent cookware. One fry pan was disgusting and unusable. Only a few cooking utensils. I talked with the owner after we had paid to rent it and explained we wanted to cook a big meal for 15 people. We were told there was plenty of space and a well stocked kitchen. Neither were true. Living room had a small couch and one chair. We had 6 people staying there and not enough seating. There was no where else in the house to sit except the table. One tv in living room, no where else. Busy street with very limited parking. House was clean. Beds were horrible.

Warm, welcoming and convenient

Our extended family of 6 enjoyed a super comfortable stay over the Christmas holiday. Our host made the extra effort to decorate the home With a Christmas tree and other holiday cheer. Thank you! This is an excellent Bellingham location close to attractions of Downtown, running and walking trails of Whatcom Falls Park, mountain biking on Galbraith, activities of Civic Field Complex and, importantly - with the best Pizza in Bellingham - Whole Foods Market. We would definitely stay again on future trips to Bellingham.

Great Craftsman home with lots of charm

This was a fantastic house for us to rent because we were dealing with a graduation ceremony. Plenty of room for family staying there, visitors to celebrate, grocery stores nearby for food and drinks needed, and majority of kitchenware that was needed to make the food was available. Fans were great in the upstairs bedrooms to cool rooms down at night.

Relaxing stay in Bellingham

The home is located in a very quiet neighborhood. Check-in and check-out were very simple. My family had a very comfortable stay. The house has easy access to I-5, downtown Bellingham, and local shopping. The only negative is that it's time for me to head back to California... Thank you for sharing your home with us!

About the host

Hosted by Marissa Noppe

I have lived in Bellingham for close to 15 years. I cant say enough positives about this area. I moved here from Pittsburgh to attend WWU and fell in love with Bellingham. I am a full time real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty. I love my job and it allows me to enjoy everything Bellingham has to offer. The epic mountain biking, snowboarding, sea kayaking and much more.

What makes this property unique

When I purchased this property in 2005 it was because of the character of the home. I love the craftsman style homes. They are rich in charm and history. I love the fir floors, crown molding, original doors and built ins. Also the location is perfect for enjoying everything this great town has to offer.
