Inside the Barn
You’ll step into a cozy space with everything you need, without the fuss. A queen bed sits tucked under warm lighting with a wall heater for those cooler nights. You’ll have a small fridge, a bar counter with stools, and a tote with clean bedding; use ours or bring your own. Fresh drinking water and a kettle are provided so you can start the day with something warm.

Relax Outside
Start your morning at the picnic table, end your evening by the fire. The barn is just steps from a clean portable toilet, sink, and a private outdoor shower with hot water. Parking is right next to your door. You’re welcome to explore the farm on foot or by bike and take in the views of open pasture and mountain skies.

Farm Store + Private Hot Tub
After a peaceful day on the farm, or a little exploring in Lynden or Bellingham, treat yourself to a soak in our guest-only hot tub. Open 8 am to 9 pm daily. You’ll receive a link after booking to reserve your personal time slot.

During your stay, be sure to visit our little farm store; guests love taking home a few extras from the land they stayed on. You’ll find Oostema Wagyu beef, farm-fresh eggs, and breakfast sausage. (Plus more local favorites) It’s all raised right here.

The Farmstead Experience
This is a real working farm. You will see our Wagyu cattle or wave to a guest in the Little Farmhouse or campground, but your corner is quiet and private. We live on-site and are just a message away if you need anything.

What to Bring
We suggest simple cooking supplies like a small pan, a camp stove, or a cooler. Forgot something? Just ask, we usually have extras.

Pet-Friendly with a Few Guidelines
One well-behaved dog (under 50 lbs) is welcome with a pet fee. Add your pet to your reservation to see the fee and confirm approval.
Please bring a blanket or bed for your pup, and keep them off the furniture. Pets must be quiet, on leash at all times, never left alone, and kept away from livestock at all times.

To Book
Please include the code word “FARMSTEAD” when booking. This confirms you’ve read the full listing, understand what’s provided, and agree to our rental agreement and house rules. A digital copy will be sent through messages after booking for your records.
