Lake House

The house was perfect for our group of 6. The house was spotless and everything looked brand new. The kayaks were a real plus and we used them daily.

Would definitely stay again

Our family of three adults loved this clean, cozy house. It was a perfect place to come back to each day after visiting family. My husband fished off the dock every morning and had great luck. Having the washer and dryer available was great too so we didn’t travel home with suitcases full of dirty laundry. The host and the landscaper were both extremely friendly and great to work with.

Great place and right on the lake

The home was clean and comfortable. It has a nice fire pit right near the lake. We had an issue with the water. The owner responded and had someone there immediately. Definitely recommended.

Nice place, beautiful view. BYO water toys! Great spot to bring a kayak or paddle board with the launch pad but there are no boats available to use. There is also a bunk bed in the second room that is not pictured. The two bathrooms are really nice! Master bed was comfortable. AC unit in the master and main room really helped with the heat wave. Thanks for the nice stay!

This one’s a winner🏆

This beautiful home is in a fantastic quiet location with a stellar lake view. The home was immaculate and tastefully outfitted, beds comfortable, etc. Xavier, our host, was quite attentive to our needs and recommended a wonderful local restaurant close by called “The Fork”, we ate there two nights in a row and the food was fantastic, staff was super friendly. Will definitely book this place again in the future if we’re ever in the area.

Quite Lake Life

What an awesome property. This darling lake house has been completely renovated and is 10/10 clean and functional. The house is tucked back into the side of a hill and overlooks Lake Whatcom's beautiful scenery. It is quiet, it is cozy, it's a real charmer and we hope to be back soon. Communication with Xavier was nearly instantaneous and truly nothing could have been better.
