Welcome to The Little Farmhouse at Oostema Farmstead, a cozy one-bedroom retreat set on our 117-acre working Wagyu cattle farm in Lynden, Washington.
This is the kind of place people come to finally exhale.
Wake up to open skies and quiet mornings, sip coffee on the patio, explore the farm, then end the evening with a reserved hot tub soak under the stars. Peaceful, simple, and comfortable, without the crowds.
Whether you’re escaping the city, exploring Whatcom County, or just needing a slower weekend away, the Little Farmhouse was made for guests who appreciate space, calm, and a more grounded kind of getaway.
🌾This is a real working farm, thoughtfully hosted and naturally peaceful, with room to slow down and breathe a little deeper. Feeling tired, leave refreshed.

The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and cooking essentials.
During your stay, you’re welcome to shop our small on-site farm store for Oostema Wagyu. As a guest, you can also request a private shopping time with Lisa. Grab a cut, then cook it just a few steps from where it was raised. It’s a pretty cool full-circle moment.

Step outside to open skies, peaceful pasture views, and the slower rhythm of farm life. Guests love taking evening walks down the quiet farm lane, watching sunsets over the fields, or ending the night around the fire pit before a hot tub soak under the stars.
While your stay feels private and tucked away, we do host a small number of guests in other accommodations across the property. The farm is spacious, and everyone has room to enjoy their own quiet corner.
