Great rental!

We had a great weekend stay, and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, nature sounds (woodpecker in the am and bird sounds all day long). I especially enjoyed the morning I woke up and saw a deer family hanging out right outside the window! This was the perfect location for a ladies weekend getaway. The owner was also very kind and welcoming. I'd definitely come back again.

Very nice place

We enjoyed the stay. Very well stocked home, very clean. En suite bathroom in the master bedroom which was very nice. Very responsive host who responded immediately to any questions. Deer walk around the house all the time. Home is upstairs level of house — full time tenant lives downstairs. We heard the tenant just once our whole trip. Nice place!

Feels away from it all

This place felt like it was away from it all but all within 15 min of grocery stores and fwy. Beautiful property with lake views from living room/front deck and golf course as the backyard. We saw deer every day beautiful birds and could hear the frogs at night. The house had everything we needed. It even has a local conv store/deli and Italian restaurant just outside of the neighborhood. The clubhouse with Mexican restaurant and a good tequila selection is just a 5 min from the house. Would love to come back in warmer weather and get out on the lake. Would def come back to this property.

Cozy Home with a beautiful view!

The home was lovely and the view was amazing. We could have stayed just to look out the window all day. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen had plenty of space to prep and cook, and the living room was cozy and warm with the fireplace going. One thing to note is that the driveway is on the steaper side and it made me a little nervous having my dad walk up and down it on the one rainy day we had but when it was sunny and dry it didn't cause him any issues. Overall it was an excellent place to stay and the host had great communication with us.

Great stay, helpful host

We found the property to be all we’d hoped for - comfortable, great location, and lovely places to walk nearby with lots of deer and even a few rabbits. Everything was clear and easy, from checking in to cooking a few meals to doing a load of laundry. The host was friendly and responsive to our questions. We hope to stay here again in the future.

My Idea of Paradise!

The location (one block away from Lake Whatcom) was perfect! Sudden Valley is quiet and BEAUTIFUL! Fawns and rabbits are everywhere and even when it rains, it has a serene feel to it! Samantha's place is clean, well stocked, and perfect space to relax and take in the amazing view, especially sitting on the deck! Every time it would stop raining, that's where I'd be! We'll be back if it's available!!

Samantha's property was well appointed and updated. The kitchen is well stocked with items needed to prepare a meal, beds are comfy, and the fireplace cozy. Large windows afford beautiful views of the lovely deck, lake and mountains beyond. Samantha was a prompt and thorough communicator for any questions. Overall a great stay and value.

Extremely clean rental!

This place is in a neighborhood but close to the lake and the golf course (but has houses around it). Someone lives in basement, with a separate entrance, but it wasn’t a problem. The house was well-stocked and super clean (and I’m a clean freak). Hiking very close by and reasonable drive into Bellingham.

A Gem in Sudden Valley

We stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and the house was perfect! It was my mother (77) and myself., plus we entertained our family for Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, the driveway is steep but completely manageable, don’t let the other comments sway you. The house is charming and the peekaboo view of the lake is beautiful. The whole Sudden Valley area is breathtaking. We even saw deer playing in the back yard, The house comes complete with a full kitchen and everything you might need plus extra linens, towels, comforters, etc. It was very well stocked. The owner, Samantha, is a dream to work with. She is friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond should you have any questions. All in all, I say book this house now!

Gorgeous lake views and so accessible to Bellingham

We reveled in the peace and quiet while drinking in the views of Lake Whatcom from the deck. The upper-floor condo is spacious and private, with a fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer. We would have liked the golf course development to be a bit more pedestrian friendly, but that's not the fault of the property. Happily, Bellingham and all its amenities is only a beautiful 15 minute drive away. And we used the property as our jumping off point for hiking around Mt. Baker. In other words, it was ideal.
