We had a great stay - loved the cozy living space, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and the quiet country setting. Great communications with our host. Highly recommended !
The Lift is such a gem! The space was perfect for me. Jill and Fred were excellent hosts! I had a wonderful stay over Labor Day weekend. The property is peaceful and quiet with everything you could possibly need. They have animals which was such a joy! I got to feed apples to the horses, chat with the ladies - aka the chickens, and admire one of the kitties from afar. I canât wait to come back for another stay!
The most relaxing and well-stocked rental ever. Such a beautiful setting and welcoming hosts. Our kids loved the cats, horses, and basketball. The fresh eggs were amazing. Wish we could stay longer. We will be back!
Iâll just start off by saying this was the best vacation rental Iâve ever stayed at. From the housing, to the location, to the amenities, to the host and their service, it was nothing short of excellent.My wife, our toddler (14mos), and I came up to Bellingham for a business trip. We were so fortunate to have found this property available over the Fourth of July weekend. Jill was an incredible host, greeting us shortly after we arrived. She is very knowledgeable of the area and was so kind to show us around their little farm. Ever since we left, my wife and I continuously talk about going back for another stay.If you are taking a trip up to Whatcom County and this is available⊠book it! You will not regret it.
Choose the Red Barn Loft instead of a hotel.We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 night stay in this lovely tranquil loft. All the comforts we needed plus easy access to Bellingham. Jill is the quintessential host!
My parents and I had a great stay at the loft. The most clean and well stocked Vrbo I have ever stayed at. The flowers and greenery mixed w the farm animals was just perfect! Highly highly recommend!
What a fantastic space to relax and unwind. Lovely walks in the neighborhood, lots of fun farm animals. The cottage is perfect! I have to say that it is the best stocked VRBO I have ever stayed in. What a fantastic kitchen! The owners are lovely and incredibly responsive. I loved my time here!!!
Really beautiful area, the loft was perfect size, very comfortable, well appointed kitchen with lovely touches. The bathroom was great and the beds were comfortable and the room nicely decorated. The hosts were great and the fresh eggs were a lovely touch and delicious! Would stay here again!
We had a great stay in the loft. One of the prettiest decors Iâve had in a vaca rent property. Every detail was spot on. Beds were comfy. Location was great for us.
Wonderful property close to Bellingham and Mt Baker
We love staying at Jillâs wonderful barn. Itâs so comfortable, clean, and well appointed. She is a really kind host who always lets our young son help with the farm chores. Itâs a great location for visiting Bellingham or hiking at Mt. Baker.
The farm was everything we thought it would beâfrom staying in a quaint farmhouse filled with ALL the amenities you could imagine, to the peace-filled atmosphere, to the farm fresh eggs the owners provided. We stayed here for 2 nights, but could have easily stayed a week and still not want to leave. The hosts were so gracious and took our 2 young boys around the farm and let them see how it all works. We had the best stay and wouldnât hesitate to come back.
Our family had a beautiful stay. What these gracious hosts have created on their farm feels incredibly special, and we in turn felt blessed to borrow a slice of country life for a weekend. Our children felt safe and happy. They especially loved their time with the animals. I enjoyed cooking, relaxing, and reading. I would be remiss if I left out our appreciation for Jill's sense of style and the all the little touches. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
This is my third time staying at this property. It is peaceful, beautiful, well-appointed and all around lovely. Can't recommend it enough, especially if you like being out in the country and hearing the sounds of nature :)
We had a very enjoyable month-long stay at the red barn loft. The main living space is cozy and well-appointed, the kitchen is extremely well-stocked, and the 2 bedrooms are very comfortable. We had a great time feeding the chickens and the horses. Barkley Village in Bellingham is only 10 minutes away, so groceries, restaurants, and other amenities are relatively close by. The Rome Store is a great place for pizza, beer and other essentials and it is just a mile from the farm. Jill was a great hostâvery responsive to any requests we had and full of helpful suggestions. She made us feel very welcome. This ranks up at the top of our list for all-time best VRBO rentals. Highly recommended!
All of the amazing reviews are true! We spent a week over
Thanksgiving at the loft and had a great time. We had everything we needed and then some - fresh eggs every morning, and Jill even brought us over a delicious homemade pie on Thanksgiving day. Above and beyond. Having all of the animals around was a huge bonus. We would definitely stay again!
The unit is adorable and just the right size! And you canât beat the property, it is beautiful. Our son loved watching the chickens, geese and horses.
Beautiful and high end furnishingsâŠevery need or want has been thought ofâŠpeaceful and quiet country settingâŠwould definitely stay there again if visiting the area and fresh eggs supplied for breakfasts!
The host thought of everything! (I am not exaggerating.) This was an extremely comfy and pleasant place to stay. I normally sleep 5-6 hours a night - averaged 9 here⊠And I have never felt comfy going barefoot in a vacation rental, but this was so clean⊠yep. Went barefoot.
Jillâs extra touches made our anniversary stay extra special. We came home well rested and with a new collection of happy memories.
Hello our names are Fred and Jill and we are excited to have you at the Red Barn Loft. We are two professionals who moved to the Bellingham Area in 1992. We hail from Arizona and Connecticut respectively and made the trek to the Pacific Northwest after college in search of a home.
