My stay at the nest was very enjoyable. Pamela and Eric made sure everything is OK while giving all the privacy I needed. The house is located in a very serene area, right next to the Cascades, so all good nature spots are close. The place was clean, very comfortable and had all the necessary stuff needed for longer stays. Additionally, Bellingham is a cool little city with lots of brewpubs(for the beer savvy)!

Pamela and Eric were great hosts. They were prompt in communication and super helpful with local dining suggestions. The nest was super cozy, spotlessly clean, and has a super comfy bed. I love the fact that there are books to read including local hiking guides, especially considering that there's no wifi. The location is quiet is super convenient to Mt.Baker. I did not have cell reception at all (with AT&T), but the Everything Store right up the street has free WiFi (and a free lil library!) and just about everything you could need in the way of groceries. Overall, the nest has everything you could possibly need for a comfy respite from civilization.

The Nest is a cozy, comfortable, homey space on a beautiful property with a great location. Additionally, the bed is SO comfortable which may not be important to some, but was a welcomed surprise after a long day in the mountains. Lots of guidebooks and area maps were a nice touch as well. Pamela and Eric are incredible hosts and provided every comfort needed for a perfect stay; they are easy to get ahold of and respond very quickly, and are very friendly. This property and these hosts are highly recommended, and the next time I plan a trip to the Mount Baker area I will most definitely be looking to stay here again.

We had a lovely quiet evening in the Nest. All of the amenities necessary for hot tea/coffee, a place to play cards and a comfy bed to sleep in. Would highly recommend for an easy night near the mountains.

The perfect spot to get away for a weekend at Mt Baker. Quite and cozy, everything was fantastic.

I didn't actually meet Pamela until we were leaving. We were both in and out all weekend, and just missed each other. With the private entrance, though, this was not a problem. The apartment is very clean and attractive, with a very comfy bed. Plenty of space for 2. Very pleasant, comfortable space and lovely country setting. We were visiting family in Bellingham and The Nest is about 30 minutes away...but it was a nice drive, so we didn't mind at all. This is a great rental, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in staying away from hustle and bustle.

We stayed one night in 'The Nest'. It is a lovely cozy spot. Beautiful location nestled in the forest. Even though we were in the host's home, we were not aware of them at all. It was very quiet. The hosts were helpful and flexible. We did not know when we would be arriving and they left the key out for us with some instructions. My only comment was that there was no living room. I didn't pick that up in the listing and so there was no where to sit except at the dining room table or on the incredibly comfortable bed. There was to be WiFi by July, we were there in August and it was still not available. All in all, very clean and comfortable. We went to the Acme Diner for breakfast, as suggested, it was great. We had an awesome pizza at the North Fork Pub. We would definitely stay again.

We had another wonderful stay at The Nest. This place nestled in the the trees is always immaculate and comfortable. The craftsmanship and attractive decor combine with the friendliness and hospitality of the hosts to make for a great place to stay when we visit the area. We hope to return again soon.

The accommodations were fantastic, as were the hosts! We stayed for two nights and we were impressed by not only how beautifully secluded the tiny cabin was and but we also loved how warm and inviting it was as well. The location is a short drive from Bellingham and many great hiking trails and we were able to be active during the day and return to beautiful tranquility in the late afternoons. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I had such a great time in the Tiny House Cabin! Directions to get there were very detailed and clear, which was great since we arrived when it was dark. The cabin was super cozy, with a great kitchen that was stocked with everything we would need and more! Our stay was so relaxing, we would love to make it out there again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the tiny cabin. Everything was as described and accurate. The outdoor tub was amazing, hot-tub hot even in the winter. Soaking under the stars is an experience not to be missed. The house is very small but efficient and clean,and there is a nicely made path from the parking area to the cabin. The only downside is the old RV sitting in front of the cabin, as described. Either way, the house is beautiful, handmade with lots of character, and we enjoyed our 2-night stay there immensely. Hosts gave us plenty of privacy, with friendly communication when needed. Recommended.

A perfect off-the-grid getaway!

We loved the tiny cabin. Very cozy and charming with many thoughtful details. The outdoor tub was relaxing, the compostable toilet was fine, and the cabin itself was comfortable and well equipped. The hosts were very responsive to any questions. It was helpful to arrive in daylight given the dirt road, which has some ruts but was fine to drive on. The path to the cabin is well marked and lit. Highly recommended for a private, relaxing experience.

Incredible!

This place was the ideal anniversary weekend getaway spot. Private, cozy, and so restful. Really stunning and thoughtful design from the cedar wood table and chairs to the lovely use of natural light. And the outdoor bathtub...magical! We definitely hope to return in the near future.

Michelle and Peter's cabin made my first tiny house experience easy and enjoyable! They have built a lovely place to stay and would happily come back. I was impressed at their Welcome instructions and Directions to the cabin, everything was very thorough. And that bath -- everyone comments on it, but it was truly the best part of the stay!

Amazing! Love this place. Made us feel at home. It is the little things that Michelle and Peter did that make this place unique. Remote operated candles and lights in the bedroom, and surround speak system with AUX cord. The king bed was SO comfy. The place is very quiet and romantic. We cooked almost all our meals on the fire pit outside! Felt like we were so far from the city, perfect little getaway.

Hands down would come back and stay at Michelle & Peter's homes! They are so beautifully crafted and secluded for a perfect getaway! Highly recommend staying at the tree house if you get a chance! It was very easy to communicate with them and they give spot on directions.

Loved it! Comfiest bed!

Beautiful place well prepared for our stay. Hosts prompt in responding to questions. Especially love the "green" aspect of this creation. Wish we had more time to enjoy it :-(

Unique. Quiet. Rustic. Eccentric. Secluded. If this is what you seek, you will find it here. The cabin is very well stocked, even basic food items are provided. Keep in mind it is a working property, and there is farm equipment randomly throughout the property. It took away from our experience initially, as it too closely resembled a cliche horror flick of a cabin in the woods. But once we settled in, the quiet lead to a slumber like no other.

Killer location. Hosts have a great music selection. The bed is super comfy.

Super adorable home nestled in the woods. There was cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, teas, milk and few other items available. Just wish we got there earlier in the day to enjoy the grounds but it was still worth it the one night we spent there! Also comfiest bed ever!

All the details have been thought of in this comfy and peaceful retreat. Bring makings for dinner or grilled dinner because they have it all thought of down to the olive oil and organic seasonings. An amazing 1 night stay, you will definitely want to book the weekend.

Unbelievable setting with a very accommodating and friendly host!

The house was even nicer than advertised, with a steep descent that goes straight to the lake and excellent views. We enjoyed access to the grill, waterfront, outdoor dining area, hot tub, football table, kayaks... basically a perfect entertaining home with something for everyone.

If you are staying in Sudden Valley this is the best place I have rented in Sudden Valley by far. I have been renting property there every September for the last 22 years. Absolutely worth it.

We visited as a group of middle aged adult siblings, and enjoyed a wonderful weekend in this beautifully situated beach home. The open architected of the main floor allowed us to enjoy the view whether inside or outside. The spansive upper and lower decks offer comfortable seating choices, an outdoor dining option, and a quiet around the corner swing chair for two. Sharing food prep in the kitchen was easy. Beds were comfortable. Bonus features of kayaks, hot tub, and nearby beaches added to our enjoyment. Thank you, Anna, and family.

Great experience! Beautiful, well stocked, spacious home. Hot Tub, Espresso Machine, Close to all amenities & downtown Bham yet we felt like we were in a forested retreat. Deer & Bunnies greeted us every morning & evening, magical.

Had a great stay at the house. Enjoyed relaxing by the fire inside and out with such a nice view. Perfect getaway from the city.

Patricia's home was beautiful and spacious, we really enjoyed our weekend there. We even made amazing lattes using the espresso machine in the kitchen. The home is located in a quite neighbourhood on the side of the hill, overlooking the lake. In the early mornings there were plenty of deer in the neighbourhood grazing for food.

If you want to relax and reconnect, this is a great place. The view of the lake is fabulous. The neighborhood is quiet with many wonderful, friendly neighbors. While the home area is quiet, you are close to all the activities you could hope for. It was just always nice to return to that "Ahhhh" feeling. We didn't get a chance to use the hot tub, but I imagine it could enhance that "Ahhh". Patricia was great to work with and very prompt in her email replies. And if you like coffee, she has a great set up for you!! Overall, this was a great place to call home for a week. We'd go back.

The house was really lovely. It had everything we needed for a couple days of R&R. The view was spectacular, and the house was equipped with everything we needed. Patricia was very responsive and very helpful with any questions we had. I would rent this house again in a heartbeat.

Over all great home and stay. The hot tub was a great treat. My family really enjoyed games at the dining table. The beds were very comfortable. If you want to utilize the fireplace you will need to purchase your own wood which we did. My critiques are it would help a lot to have better knives for chopping vegetables provided and adjust check out time if you've requested an adjusted check in time.

This home is wonderful! It is very beautiful, very relaxing, and very classy. The hosts are easily contacted, and reply quickly. I recommend this home highly, and we plan to stay there again.

Our family spent Christmas as this lovely home! It had everything you needed to cook a full turkey dinner not to mention laundry, wifi and a great living room to relax watch a movie or look at the views! We particularly enjoyed playing cards nightly at their beautiful dinning room table!

Sharon had great communication throughout our stay and it was very much appreciated. Thank you, Sharon!

Sharon was wonderful to work with. Here information about the house and directions were superb. The house was roomy and had lots of great spaces. We truly enjoyed the trip and would recommend this home.

Beautiful location, a rustic grandmothers lake house. The back yard was fun but a few safety issues. The steep stairs only had one hand rail. The private beach was incredible and just perfect for our toddler! Overall a good time!

Sharon was extremely welcoming and helpful with everything. The house was in great shape and everything described in the listing was accurate. Myself and the guests had a wonderful time and would recommend it to anyone.

This was a lovely spot I booked not for myself but for my brother and his family who have never used an air bnb. Being that it was over the fourth of July the neighborhood was quite lively. But generally it is a quiet, peaceful place. The neighbors were so welcoming and kind to everyone. And Sharon was very communicative in the arrangement of all travel details. As well, she wanted to make sure everyone settled in well upon their arrival. I would highly recommend this place as Sudden Valley is a beautiful retreat. Oh and with a swing in the backyard, a fire pit, a trampoline, the lake right there- couldnt ask for a better lil adventure.

The house was great. Just as described and pictured. Stayed here for a long weekend with my sisters to attend a wedding in Bellingham. The house had everything we needed. Sharon was very prompt with answers to my questions and was an accommodating host. Everything was clean and comfortable. Thanks, Sharon!

We had a great time. Then location and the house are great! I would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in a relaxing home! Anne

We had a great time! The kids loved the trampoline and at the beach. We appreciated such an easy check out process and good communication. Thanks!

I must say the Moon Mountain Lodge is a magical place. A faerie glen in the woods. A dream for respite. We loved every minute of our time in his hand built home. And his pup smootch was an utter delight. Thank you for sharing your corner of paradise with us. I'm sure we will be back.

We loved staying at Paul's cabin. The place was comfortable, the shower was hot, the refrigerator stocked with eggs, yogurt and fruit for breakfast. He and his dog Smooch went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We highly recommend staying at Paul's. However, if you are not prepared to be off the grid for your stay than Paul's cabin is not for you. It's a great place to get away from it all.

This was honestly one of the best few days of my whole five week trip with my boyfriend...(dare i say life?) I absolutely loved every well thought out nook and cranny and it made me feel so at peace. The candle light set the most amazing, romantic atmosphere...i felt like i was a hobbit in lord of the rings. SMOOCHES will stay with you all day and be the best host and friend. Paul is so hospitable and we loved talking story with him. THANK YOU!!!

What an unbelievable spot. Paul and Smooch (his dog) are the nicest hosts, and the cabin was incredible- off the grid, quiet, adorable in every way from the wood burning stove to hand-crank coffee grinder and lovely decorations. The kitchen, while small, is more than sufficient for two people to cook in. Apparently, several couples who have come here loved it so much (and I can completely see why) that they actually got married here. Would recommend this place to anybody-- such an amazing spot.

Another perfect restful trip out to the Cozy Cabin. This place has spoiled us for all other Airbnb experiences - I think our overall quality of life would suffer if we didn't stay here at least a few times a year.

Paul's place was fantastic. It was the perfect way to end our ten day trip in the Pacific Northwest. Peaceful, relaxing, and in a fantastically beautiful setting. We were visiting a friend who lives in Bellingham, but found ourselves eager to spend more time at the Cabin.

If the 120+ reviews before me didn't already confirm this sentiment, this place is absolutely magical. My partner and I had the best, most relaxing stay here. We took a trip up to Mt. Baker for some hiking/skiing and that was about 1.5 hours away from the cabin. Other than that we did a lot of reading, relaxing, and hiking around the spectacular property. Paul is a fantastic host and was incredibly welcoming! It took everything I had not to steal his dog, Smooch, and bring him home with me. I can't say enough good things about this place, it was the perfect vacation!

We had a great time at the cabin. It’s a great place to get away from the city life, very peaceful and surrounded by nature. The cabin is charming and not having electricity didn’t affect our experience since there were more than enough candles, propane lights, gas stove and a nice shower. Paul was very nice and made us feel welcome right away, so did his dog Smooch. Breakfast was great: eggs, fruits, yogurt, potatoes and coffee.

Bill and Lisa provide a fabulous accommodation. They and 2 and out of their 3 cats made me feel very welcome. Very quick to provide answers to questions, directions etc. and dropped and picked me up at a nominal charge. It 's a bit out of town as described in the listing so guests staying with them must own or rent a car.

If you're looking for a place to stay in Bellingham stop searching, because you've found the best one! Bill and Lisa are amazing hosts who will make you feel like more than a guest - you feel like you're member of their family. The home is drop dead gorgeous and exceedingly comfortable, replete with a private bathroom, spacious living area, and even a workout room. As if the inside isn't enough, the surroundings are breathtaking; if you love the peace and solitude of the forest then this is the perfect location for you. My wife and I couldn't stop talking about what a great experience we had with Bill and Lisa, and we will recommend their place to all our friends and family!

What a pleasure it was to stay in Bill and Lisa's beautiful home up in the treetops. They are so sweet, helpful , and welcoming and their home is gorgeous and incredibly comfortable. Treat yourself and visit this lovely home with these fine people.

We had a wonderful stay with Bill and Lisa. They have a lovely home and were brilliant hosts. Would have like to have stayed a little longer!

We were warmly welcomed by both humans and wild life, and everything about our stay was explained carefully. The house is beautiful and well located.

This is a lovely place to stay when in the Bellingham area. It's about 20 minutes drive away from the center of town, but it's in a gorgeous woodsy setting, and is luxuriously appointed. Also, Bill and Lisa are very gracious and thoughtful hosts. I felt quite at ease about coming and going as I pleased. I will certainly return, when I can. --Tom

Our hosts were in touch with us to make sure that we had plenty of time to check in prior to needing to get ready leave for a late afternoon wedding. Bill and Lisa greeted us at the door and showed us all we needed to know regarding our room, bathroom, the kitchen, and getting in late after returning from the wedding.

Lisa and Bill are great, really fun and easy to talk to, we stayed up way too long chatting the night away with them. The room and bed were super comfortable and the baked treats in the morning were lovely. Will definitely look them up again if my mom's house doesn't have room.

This place was beautiful. It was everything I wanted and far enough from a venue I had to be at that it felt like an escape from the craziness. The neighborhood was extremely quiet. I showed up earlier than expected and threw off Suzanne, yet she was so gracious about my lack of communication due to wedding brain. The place is just as pretty as the pictures, it really does feel like a little tree house. Plus... Memory foam main bed. Yes! FYI, hike up the driveway not so great an idea in flip flops in the dark (come prepared and save yourself how ridiculous you will look). Even in her flurry of trying to get everything together, Plus prepare for her late night marathon, Suzanne was so good at articulating that this place was so others could come and enjoy the beauty. She (didn't get to meet her hubby) was the perfect hostess and you could tell she not only loves being a hostess, but also loves the life she leads and you can't make for a better hostess than that! Will stay at literally every time I have to stay in the area!!!!

We loved our stay at Suzanna / Dan’s place. The house is situated in a very quiet and green neighbourhood with deer roaming around the house. It was very peaceful and the house itself is absolutely cozy. Suzanne and Dan were very friendly and accommodating. Would stay there again!

Our family spent two weeks at the Treehouse and were sad to leave. Our hosts were lovely, welcoming, accommodating people. Extremely tolerant and forgiving of the noise and traffic that comes with kids and pets. I would highly recommend the Treehouse experience for its beauty, simplicity, tranquility and hospitality.

If you're looking for some peace and quiet look no further. Perfect for us and our dogs. The moss and trees were beautiful in both the sun and rain, the kitchen has a good set up, private entrance and deck are great, and who doesn't like a chair that hangs from the ceiling?

Suzanne & Dan provided a beautiful space for the 4 of us and our dog, convenient to both the city of Bellingham and plenty of hiking opportunities. We had a very relaxing stay, and appreciated the well stocked kitchen so we could make some meals at home.

A great, quiet place to get away.

Quiet,private,beautiful location.. not too far a drive to go shopping. Walk up the driveway is a little steep so careful getting to the entrance

This is a beautiful home and was extremely great for the price. I recommend it to everyone who is in the Bellingham area!!

Pictures are accurate... you're RIGHT on the first hole. We walked and biked everywhere. Nice breakfast, also good food and good prices at the clubhouse. Gas station, groceries 5 mins away by bike (Don't even have to cross the main road, there's a tunnel by the realestate buildings.) Host was really welcoming and attentive to anything we wanted. Happy, and always trying to please. Large lower level was spacious and comfortable. Deer, rabbits, squirrels, everywhere. Big trees are beautiful and my kid loved the huckleberries that grow everywhere.

Great relaxing location Host was very nice Privacy can be improved Quality of beds can be improved Access to rooms can be improved

My fiancé and I stayed here for a month as interim housing. He was starting a new job and I was studying for a large board exam. I was looking at a few places and emailed Scott, specifically asking if it would be a quiet place to study. He said yes. What I wish I would have known before I booked, is that he planned to do construction for 2 weekends and had a family party another weekend, so three out of the four weekends we stayed were very noisy. I didn’t mind the party as much, but those are certainly things he had planned ahead of time and should have let us know about since I asked specifically for a quiet place to stay before booking. I was frustrated that Scott waited until a week into our stay to say they would be doing construction for a full weekend (and another weekend after that, which he emailed us about later). I asked if it was possible for them to do construction after my board exam, but that email was ignored. He said I should leave the house several times because the pneumonic nail gun would be “VERY noisy.” I needed that day to study and there were no libraries in the area open on Sundays. I booked the AirBnb as a place to study, but even if I hadn’t the noise would have been unexpected and not preferred. If you plan to stay here, I would specifically ask if he plans to do construction. What I would suggest to Scott is to either block those weekends out so you don’t have tenets, or at least tell your tenets ahead of time. I understand construction with a year-long tenet, but not with a more expensive short term AirBnb tenets. Another important thing to consider is that the floorboards are very creaky and it is very easy to hear the noise from upstairs. They get up around 6am on weekdays and around 8am on weekends and move around quite a bit after that. My fiancé and I both needed to wear earplugs to stay asleep, which worked for the most part, but was not ideal. If you don’t mind noise though, it’s a really nice place. It is a very cozy apartment with a comfortable couch, comfortable bed, large movie selection, reasonably equipped kitchen, and nice light for a basement apartment. Scott was quick to respond to emails about internet outage, trash pick-up and was kind enough to allow my mail to be sent to his address. The neighborhood is also very friendly and fun to walk around, although a 20 minute drive from Bellingham downtown.

Leaving my only child in WA for college was a challenge for me. With her apartment not ready for 3 weeks, I looked into an airbnb. I was very pleased with the accommodations. Clean, safe beautiful home. I heard from the host several times, that he would check on my daughter. It helped ease my mind, great experience.

Scott was great at communicating and the whole checkin was easy. The apartment is pretty spacious and clean. We stayed there for 3 nights and the apartment was perfect for our needs.

I stayed at Deer Haven for almost a month and found it comfortable and enjoyable. The apartment stayed cool even when we had a heat wave, and there is a space heater for chilly weather. Scott was very accommodating. After house construction began on the adjacent lot he even offered to let me leave early if the noise was bothering me but I chose to stay. Even though I recommend Deer Haven, it would not be suitable for someone who requires absolute quiet, as earlier reviews have mentioned. The floor doesn't creak any more, but you can hear the owners walking around, especially when they are on the stairs or in the kitchen. I rarely heard them moving around before 7:30 am. Quiet hours for both AirBNB guests and the owners are 11 pm to 8 am. It is a 15-20 minute drive to town, but Sudden Valley has many amenities within the community, including 2 restaurants, a little market, a yoga studio, a YMCA (with older equipment and a pool), a library, beaches on Lake Whatcom, and a nice 1.25 mile walking trail around Lake Louise. I was there during the eclipse, which I watched from the marina, and was impressed by the friendliness of the Sudden Valley residents to a visitor.

Wonderful place to stay in a pretty, quiet neighborhood close to Lake Whatcom, yet not far from the city of Bellingham. The apartment was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed, including a well-stocked kitchen - love that the coffee maker has a hot water dispenser for tea! There's a tv and movie collection available, plus washing machine and dryer. Scott was easy to communicate with and very kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Nice, comfortable place with all to stay. The private entrance and washer drier are nice as well. If you are a golfer there is a nice course near by and Bellingham is 15 minutes away.

Scott and Pari's place is fantastic. Clean, private, spacious, with a great movie collection, large couch, and comfy bed. The neighborhood is a ways out of town, with almost no public transit and no bike lanes, so be prepared to drive into town.

The same awesomeness as before. Thanks so much.

This room was fantastic! One of the most comfortable beds I've slept in, and Lisa and bill were extremely hospitable and fun to be around. Also they were flexible with parking when in the morning my brother showed up and we went on a bike ride. Bill also offering up his help when we had mechanical issues with the bikes. I would highly recommend this room.

Lisa and Al were very warm and friendly. It is a nice rural location, not too far from the main part of town. They were very helpful in giving directions and guiding us where we wanted to go. We felt very comfortable there.

Just the right amount of "friendliness"-- welcomed us and gave us the scoop then left us alone to rest. The space was much nicer and much cheaper than a hotel; very peaceful and quiet; super clean. Perfect time!

Bill was an excellent host and his home is gorgeous. A high quality Airbnb.

Lovely home. Lisa was away, but Bill went out of the way to make us welcome. Even helped jump start our car when our battery went dead. Easy to come and go. Nice big bed! Very clean with water and a snack beside the bed waiting. We had a great time exploring Bellingham and the surrounding area.

My group and I only stayed one evening, but it was great to have such plush beds to return to after a long day of driving and a busy evening of wedding preparations. Lisa was away but her husband, Bill, met us upon arrival and gave us the run down of everything we needed to know. We were even surprised when they offered our 3rd party member her own bed in an adjacent room since it was available! It was greatly appreciated! Thanks Lisa and Bill for being so helpful and accommodating!

Bill and Lisa are wonderful hosts and my stay was just great in every way. The setting is beautiful and woodsy; the home is lovely, and the thoughtful amenities and gracious welcome were so much better than my previous hotel stays. I hope to stay with them in future trips and heartily recommend their offerings!

My stay at Nathaniel's place was awesome! The setting was beautiful, the house was clean and looked like the pictures on the airbnb listing, and Nathaniel was easy to get a hold of when necessary. Nathaniel was happy to answer any of my questions and had a clear set of expectations for my stay. Upon arrival, he provided a great list with wifi info, nearby hikes, the location of a nearby convenience store, and other helpful information. The house was about 1.5 hours drive from Seattle or Vancouver, 1 hour away from Mt. Baker, and 20 minutes away from Bellingham. My group and I were able to pack a lot into our week long stay and I still feel like there's a lot more to explore in the area. Aside from bumming around the house, we went to the San Juan Islands, the Boeing factory in Everett, Seattle, Vancouver, Bellingham, and the Cascade Mountains. I would definitely recommend Nathaniel's home to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in the Pacific Northwest.

My family of three had a great weekend stay. Joshua and Amy were wonderful hosts. Very warm, responsive and attentive to our needs. The room was spacious and everything was clean and new and definitely exceeded our expectations. We loved the central location of the home since we wanted to hike on Mount Baker and explore Bellingham, Fairhaven, and the Lake Whatcom areas. We really enjoyed our time and look forward to staying there again in the future.

The Hideaway is a lovely place tucked in the woods- very welcoming, clean, very comfortable bed, with just enough amenities to enjoy morning coffee or tea, toast with a few appliances. The 2 rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. And Josh is quick to reply to any questions by text. Amy was also very welcoming when we arrived as well and gave us a tour with helpful details. During our stay our privacy was greatly respected.

Very nice and clean space. Joshua and Amy are very hospitable and go out of their way to make the stay comfortable. Child friendly. Very peaceful location in wooded area, lots of nearby trails. We enjoyed watching the squirrels and birds from our windows.

We totally enjoyed staying at the beautiful place in the middle of nowhere. The house is the last one in the street so it's very quiet and natural. It is beautifully furnished with many great details which make the rooms very cozy and homelike. There are a king-size-bed and a sofa-bed (on which you have to put the sheets on by your own). Josh and Amy fulfilled all our wishes to make the stay as comfortable as possible. We would definitely stay there again.

Splendid modern newer home, very nicely furnished, clean, and exceptionally well equipped. We typically enjoy dining out, but found the home and the beautiful views from the deck so enjoyable we did not want to leave. We has a group of just four, but the home is suitable for more.

Beautiful home right by the lake. Everyone had a great time!

We loved our weekend at Zack's place! The home is absolutely beautiful, the beach / lake is awesome, and Zack made everything so easy. 10/10 would rent here again and recommend to friends!

This was an awesome house to stay in with lots of room to accommodate big groups of people. We had our whole team for Ski to Sea stay here and really enjoyed it!

This listing was amazing. We were a party of (10) competing in the Ski to Sea race, and Zack's place was perfect to accommodate us. All of the appliances and fixtures were super cool/state of the art and the radiant floor heating and tankless water heater were worth their weight in gold when we had (8) people wanting to shower at once. The house itself is beautiful (exposed concrete floors, open floor plan, and neat stair case) and gives a great view towards the lake. We spent a lot of our time outside on the decks during the day and down in the theater room (note: no DVD player, just Comcast movies) during the night. The access to the lake was super convenient and many of us took advantage of the pier to swim and kayak. I would highly recommend the "Northwest Modern House" and plan to stay here in the future if available!

Zack is a great host; attentive yet not hovering. The house is splendid, absolutely beautiful and very well appointed. No problem putting together dinners (barbeque and kitchen) for 10-12 people for a special family birthday - everything we needed. Wonderful windows and light throughout. Great view, and easy access to the lake. Quiet area. We enjoyed watching the deer and birds from the house balconies. Terrific value - we highly recommend Zack's Northwest Modern House.

The Northwest Modern Home is the perfect place to retreat with the family. Our three generations appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, the fabulous location - close to amenities yet out of Bellingham ... perfect. Thank-you Zack!

Our assorted family found our accommodations welcoming and complete. The pictures of the home, inside and out, do not do it justice. It is beautiful! The decor is modern and warm. The floors are heated, a welcomed feature in the cold December Bellingham air. The decor is tastefully earthy and cozy. Over our three night stay, we took advantage of the kitchen, the ping-pong table (the competition was fierce), the theater room, the walks, Bellingham dining, lounging around, connecting with Bellingham friends, completing puzzles and playing Backgammon (both found downstairs). Dan had to work one day, and found the woodsy work space on the second floor relaxing and private, yet still connected with the group. The breathtaking lake and hills panorama tops it off. The floor to ceiling windows with connected outdoor patios on two floors are a treat. We definitely recommend this place.

Loved how Laura and the pets made it feel like home.

I ended up at Laura's place during a stressful time and was looking for a quiet place to relax. Laura's place was fantastic!!! Laura was warm/welcoming and her house was very beautiful. Laura quickly showed me the room and told me where I could find most of the things I might need during my stay. The place is in a nice quiet neighborhood and the surroundings are beautiful. There are animals at this house and they are all extremely well behaved/sweet animals! Laura also has a daughter who is pretty quiet and very nice :) (when I was there she played a board game she created herself -- I thought that was super neat!) The place is located in a secluded area but is about a 20 minute drive from Bellingham where you can find tons of things to do! I really couldn't have asked for a better stay! I left feeling refreshed. :)

Laura is a fantastic host and a great person to meet. We brought Anita's two dogs and there were no problems. Laura thought of everything, with extra little toiletry's like razors, toothbrushes, etc. She is very concerned that her guests get the most out of the fantastic location -- very close to Bellingham (with a back entrance along a beautiful stretch of road along Whatcom Lake) and also quite close to everything the Skagit Valley has to offer. The walk to the lake is great and Laura knows good restaurants and wants you to get all the info you need -- with informative brochures and other information. Her animals are very sweet. A great Airbnb host!

Laura is the perfect host - she could not have done more to make us feel relaxed and at home. The bed was comfy, the room is quiet - Laura is friendly and made some really helpful suggestions about where we could visit in the area, and she went out of her way to make our stay a delight. Her place is in a quiet area close to a lake, and just over an hour's drive to Mt Baker and 40 minutes to the whale-watching trips and other things to do in and around Anacortes - so Laura's place is a great spot for vacationing to see the sites around Northern Washington. Highly recommended.

Karethra's cabin was a perfect fit for my needs. I was seeking solitude and isolation to complete a writing project that was up against a deadline, and this was just the ticket. The place is modest but charming. The environment is a bit spare, especially if you want to cook your own meals, but the basics are available. If you are seeking affordable, quiet, and secluded accommodations in the woods this is a great place for it. Karethra is very kind and was available by text at all hours. She gave me the privacy and seclusion i needed and made herself scarce, but never hard to reach. She was gracious and flexible and even refunded the last day of my 5 day reservation when i had to leave early due to a work crisis. As some earlier reviewers have noted, if you expect a perfectly tidy place this is not a match. There was a bit of dust and cobwebs, but all the key accommodations -- refrigerator, sheets, towels, bathroom -- were totally clean. One other word of warning: you really need a car here unless you intend to do nothing more than a daily walk to the grocery store. Bus service to and from Bellingham is available but quite limited and does not run at all on Sundays. A cab ride from downtown is expensive. Perfect for seclusion and isolation, less than ideal if you have lots of places to go and people to see, or if you seek a wide variety of shopping and dining options in the immediate vicinity. For the price this was ideal for my needs. I would stay again and recommend it for those seeking a rustic and secluded retreat.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Our host was very accomodating and reponsive to our requests. The forest setting was lovely and quiet. It was a short driving distance from Fairhaven and Bellingham, which is what we were looking for. We also had the property to ourselves for the two nights. Thank you Karethra for a great time :-)

Nice cabin- bed was very comfortable and the neighborhood was really scenic and quiet. Karethra was a great host, very quick responses to any questions we had.

The cabin provided a wonderful retreat. The interior was charming, inspiring, and cozy. Trees galore in the backyard. Nice deck with picnic table to eat at. Constance was available by text. She checked in to see If I needed anything.

Host was pleasant, informative and kept in touch in case I needed anything. Accommodations were comfortable and neighborhood was pleasant and quiet.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin/house in this quiet, forested community. Great bed and the cot suited our daughter. The only problem was that the owner informed us the day before that we could only check in at 6:00 pm, which left us hanging out in cafes (it got dark by 4:30 pm), having to wait until night to settle in and cook dinner. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay.

The neighborhood was beautiful. It was a wooded setting but there were neighbors close by so we did not feel isolated. The cabin was comfortable and cozy. It was furnished with everything we needed for a pleasant stay.

This has been a great stay while relocating to the area! Karethra has been MORE than accommodating. Will definitely stay again!

Thank you for a lovely stay. Everything was perfect and the hosts were so warm and welcoming. Enjoyed every minute of this getaway.

Absolutely great place to stay! Great hosts and very private apartment. We would highly recommend this page to any traveler! 5 stars all the way!

Chris and Sabine have a beautiful secluded property with lake views. The apartment is just perfect -- everything we needed! There's great hiking nearby -- we highly recommend the Hertz Trail -- about 2 miles from the property. The trail is 3.0 miles/6 miles total. The views are amazing. There's also a good restaurant nearby. I highly recommend this property -- it exceeded all of our expectations. Thanks Chris & Sabine!

Chris & Sabine's spacious apartment was great. Very private , quiet and the dark skies at night and the wonderful views of Lake Whatcom was perfect. A short and easy drive to town center. Hope to return again in the future.

Chris and Sabine were excellent hosts who made every effort to make our stay special; we were celebrating our anniversary. The apartment is tucked back on their large property giving us the privacy we desired. The apartment is on the second floor, surrounded by views of trees and the lake. It often felt as if we were in a treehouse! It features a full kitchen with everything you need as well as a full-size washer and dryer. The bedroom was very comfortable and cozy. A bonus is access to their private beach and dock. There is an excellent local restaurant nearby, however, if you plan on eating "at home" be sure to bring your groceries with you, the trip to town is about 20 minutes away. We discovered a great place to relax and unwind and hope to visit again.

We loved staying in Chris and Sabine's cozy little guest house. So clean and spacious. Perfect for a quiet stay, well equipped with all your basic necessities, and more. We would definitely stay here again!
