Quintessential Pacific Northwest comfort and charm in Bellingham. Tucked on a tranquil tree-lined street, yet a quick drive from downtown vibrancy. Exposed wood floors, luxury hot tub and fireplace. Open living area for relaxing after adventures. The open concept living area is made for whiling away the evenings after your Pacific Northwest adventures. Relax on the overstuffed couch, curl up with a local read, or challenge friends to a game beside the original vintage fireplace.
Plenty of towels, great wood burning stove, kitchen was perfect for making big meals, and they had code names. We stayed up till about 2AM each night playing code names by the fire. Great time.
The house is architecturally cool, especially the upstairs loft. The location is wooded and quiet, though neighboring houses are visible, so it's not completely secluded. We did not check out the hot tub, so no comment on that. There is lots of room in the fridge and freezer and a lot of counter space.Overall, things were nice, but when you first walk in the house, the downstairs where up to 6 people can sleep, smells really mildewy. I think it could use a dehumidifier.Also, to leave the room with 2 beds, you have to walk through the room with the bunk beds. This can be awkward if you aren't related, so it's something to be aware of. The room with 2 beds has a blocked door, but the light was on behind the blocked door, which made the room bright for sleeping. Not sure what's behind that door.The other 2 bedrooms, which can sleep up to 4, were upstairs so those guests couldn't smell the mildew in those rooms.
First and second floors just beautiful. Deck and hot tub are fantastic. Lowest floor needs attention and new beds. The layout is awkward if all guests are adults. Very quiet neighborhood Stove had one burner out. Microwave did not work. Washing machine leaked water when in use. Upstairs shower needs a grab bar.
This was a great property for our family. Itâs convenient for exploring Bellingham (about a 20 minute drive). We enjoyed the hot tub and access to the community pool. The owner was accommodating and helpful. Great stay!
