This completely separate apartment was an absolute treasure to have come across when planning a last minute family trip to Bellingham. The space was clean, modern, complete with any little thing you could possibly need, and happens to be in an incredible area. Kjerstin was very communicative and did whatever necessary to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Would definitely stay here again, no question.

Home away from home
My wife and I stayed here for two weeks while searching for homes in Bellingham. The space is comfortable and thoughtfully appointed, with two office areas that can easily accommodate remote work. The layout makes sense, so it's easy to get situated. It feels like home away from home.During our stay, we enjoyed multiple deer sightings as they meandered through the neighborhood. Kjerstin and her husband showed great hospitality, giving us insider tips on different areas of Bellingham, as well as dining and activity suggestions.We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future. Highly recommended!

Beautiful, clean, well appointed place to stay
This apartment is the perfect place to stay! It was very clean, fresh and comfortable! The kitchen was neat and organized, not full of "cast offs". There were extras that made our stay so nice including a shopping bag, umbrella, lovely bath salts, laundry soap and extra charging cords. The outside area was really great and we used it in the evenings. The owners were super nice and available for our needs. She even sent a text to let us know the Northern Lights were visible. Will definitely stay again!

Convenient Location, Comfortable Accommodation
We stayed at the apartment for 5 nights, and enjoyed it very much. The house is in a treed neighborhood and is very quiet and convenient. The apartment is over the garage attached to the house, which makes it even quieter. Getting Downtown or onto I-5 takes about 10 minutes, along Lakeway. The apartment is well outfitted, with all modern appliances and good wifi. Two thumbs up, would stay there again in a heartbeat...

Great apartment, well stocked, responsive owner
The apartment was the perfect spot to call our home base when we came to Bellingham for a family reunion. Kjerstin was very responsive when we couldn't find the coffee filters and ensured we we had some extras immediately. The apartment was very well stocked. I would have given 5 stars, but the bed was not as comfortable for us. It wasn't terrible, but it was hard. It could use a memory foam or other thick mattress pad, which I did notify the host. Otherwise, the apartment was quite comfortable!

Julie was GREAT about giving us constructive feedback! I appreciated that she gave detailed suggestions and explained her rationale.
I was able to make two changes immediately, before the next guest arrived that afternoon.
I appreciate her comment - "responsive owner" - I strive for that! (Turns out the coffee filters were there all along! Julie just hadn't found them near the complimentary morning beverages, but regardless - we were able to get her filters within 10 minutes in two different manners!)
Beds are tricky, right? We are all different, and we have different preferences; the bulk of the feedback I receive is that the beds are *so* comfortable, but the beds certainly may be too firm for some. I'm considering how to best address this challenging issue, but I appreciate the feedback and will reflect upon it!
We'd love to see Julie come back!

Planned for a week/stayed for one day
The property was meticulously organized, with everything in its designated place and clearly labeled. The host demonstrated exceptional hospitality towards my family and me. She went above and beyond to set up for small kids. Her kindness and effective communication were truly commendable.Regrettably, we had to shorten our stay due to the unforeseen discovery of bugs on the mattress in bedroom two on day two. The host responded with great concern and promptly assisted in finding a solution. She even offered an alternative accommodation option while we awaited the resolution.I wholeheartedly appreciated the prompt refund issued. I acknowledge that such occurrences can happen anywhere, and I am confident that with the issue resolved, this location has the potential to provide an exceptional stay.

Thank you for your review.
It means a lot to hear how much you appreciated the organization of the home and the care taken to make your family—especially your little ones—feel comfortable and welcomed.
I’m sorry your stay was impacted by the unexpected discovery in bedroom two. As I promised, I contacted an exterminator to inspect the property, paying special attention to the mattresses and bedding. The only evidence of insects she could find was the video you sent me of the single bug on the bedspread. Harmless bugs can occasionally find their way indoors, especially in our natural and beautifully wooded surroundings.
That said, your comfort and peace of mind are our top priorities, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to respond quickly and make things right for you.
Thank you for highlighting the positive parts of your experience and the professional and thorough way we responded to your concern.
Warmly,
Kjerstin

Qui vous reçoit ?
Vous êtes reçu par Kjerstin Secord
Jim (Canadian) and Kjerstin (American) are enjoying living on both sides of the border in Bellingham as well as Vancouver, B.C. Our "main" house is in Bellingham, where we are having tons of fun hosting travelers in this cute apartment on the property. Jim works in wine distribution software and Kjerstin volunteers as a firefighter/EMT.
We also have a vacation home on Lummi Island where we welcome summer visitors (our "Family Reunion Gem" is listed on VRBO.)
All five of our adult kids are now living independent lives so we are enjoying traveling more and entertaining friends with our newfound spare time.
Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?
This is an old, established Lake Whatcom neighborhood in which people have been remodeling and renovating the original cabins into full-time, large family homes. Our street has a distinct "Craftsman" vibe. Houses are far apart, most sitting on half-acre or one-acre lots. The Geneva Neighborhood is still quite heavily forested, so it is quiet and yards are private.
Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?
It's no secret that Bellingham is located in the Pacific Northwest, where skies are grey for a large part of the year. This special apartment is lined with windows, and it is located on the second story where natural light floods the rooms with bright light every month of the year. (Air conditioning is provided for the sunny months!)
We've put a lot of energy and effort into making this unit really attractive and comfortable. The unit has stylish details like a stainless steel backsplash, fun paint colors, lots of local artwork, house plants, fabulous natural lighting and new (2023) rugs and furnishings. It just feels good to be in the space.
We've included lots of convenient "extras" like an umbrella (Remember? The Pacific NW?), coffee/tea, cooking basics (flour, sugar, oil, spices), laundry detergent and more.
