P Perch

It was a perfect property for us. When we had a question or concern, it was addressed immediately. Clean, welcoming environment with beautiful views. We enjoyed the deck area & the fireplace there. The steep driveway is a drawback, but the weather we enjoyed did not adversely affect getting up & down.

Wonderful stay

We were two couples staying at this lovely vacation rental for 2 nights. The flat is on a quiet street with lovely, peaceful views from the covered porch. it’s a large and comfortable flat with two good-sized bedrooms. While the flat has a kitchenette instead of a full sized kitchen, we had no trouble making dinner using the grill and kitchen appliances for the two nights of our stay. It’s a short driving distance to a few beaches and about 15- 20 minutes from downtown Bellingham or Fairhaven. Our host Jennifer was great and super accommodating. We had a wonderful visit and would definitely stay again

Our family arrived separately so we checked in at different times which was no problem at all. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. The deck is in the trees and a great spot to read or eat. The kitchen is as described, a small kitchenette. It is workable with all the electric tools: air fryer, toaster oven, griddle, microwave but not for lots of cooking. The outdoor grill worked for meat for dinner. The driveway is steep, the steps and path are aggregate helping one’s traction. Parking is at the top of the driveway. Pinnacle Perch is in a quiet, lovely neighborhood of Sudden Valley, somewhat removed from Bellingham proper.

Very clean & great location

Very nice property and very clean. It was definitely big enough for all 6 of us. We were visiting my son who lives in Bellingham and this was a great hangout home. The kids did a lot of fishing in both Lake Louise and Lake Whatcom, walking distance from the rental. The only negative was there was no oven/ stovetop. That was my bad. I didn’t notice that in the pictures and description. We generally don’t like to eat out when traveling but I managed to cook all the meals with the electric skillet and air fryer. It all worked out. Overall great place and I would stay again.

The hosts thought of everything!

From fresh cut flowers to room spray in every room the hosts made with a comfortable and pleasant experience! Comfort was abandoned from the living room to the bedroom to the outside porch. They thought of everything!

Sudden Valley Gem

Beautiful spot in the very nice subdivision of Sudden Valley. We enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment was clean, well stocked with amenities such as coffee and shampoo. One of the four adults has a bad knee - so our only difficulty was getting her in and out of the steep driveway but our host let us use his parking space so that also was very accommodating.

Comfortable and clean

This rental is the bottom floor of a large house, with the owners upstairs. The apartment is very private and comfortable. There are two large bedrooms with their own bathrooms. It's perfect for two couples or a family of four. The path into the house is a little steep, so it's not ideal for someone with mobility issues, but if everyone in your group is fine, then the place is great. We loved seeing all the deer in the neighborhood!

Great Weekend Getaway

An extremely well appointed rental. All the comforts to have a nice landing place after a day at the lake/mountain/town. Communication with owners was top notch, super nice folks. The two things we learned were 1) finding the house was a little tricky, especially with the sun in your eyes at sunset, 2) while well appointed the kitchen isn’t a full kitchen, not a huge deal but changed our meal planning a bit. Overall a delightful rental, we hope to be back next year.

Great place to stay

We spent most of our time visiting our daughter in Bellingham, but Pinnacle Perch was perfect for our needs. We didn’t take advantage of all the available amenities and activities, but it appears there is lots to do, and the living space was most comfortable. We would stay again.

Cozy and Immaculate

Beautiful unit. Spotlessly clean. Everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in the Bellingham area. Communication with hosts was good. Location puts you close to lakes, recreation facilities and natural beauty. I stayed with my partner and his 16-year-old son and we all had a wonderful time. Will absolutely go back next time we are in Bellingham.

Wonderful stay

The property and hosts were wonderful. We knew the kitchen would be minimal, but it included everything we needed and more. The bed was big and comfy, and the house had so many amenities including a washer and dryer. The view and neighborhood were lovely, and we met friendly folks on our morning walks. We even saw a cottontail rabbit and three deer right outside our door. A great getaway.

Beautiful unit

This is an immaculate unit in a very quiet residential community. It is stocked with everything you need for a short stay, with the added bonus of fresh flowers from the garden throughout. I highly recommend this rental.

Beautiful property in great location

I stayed in Pinnacle Perch over Labor Day weekend with my spouse and 6-year-old. My spouse played in a gold tournament at the Sudden Valley Golf Course, and my kiddo and I hung out. This rental is just a few mins drive to the golf course, but also would have been fine walking. Walkable to the AM/PM beaches, Lake Louise, etc. Jennifer (one of the owners) was extremely communicative and helpful. Note that this rental does not have a full kitchen (which I didn't realize until after I booked it), but turned out not to be an issue. There is a full size refrigerator, very powerful toaster oven, and a large utility sink in the laundry room for washing dishes. I highly recommend this property, and am already planning another trip back here!

Great Summer Getaway!!!!

This is our second stay at this lovely property and spending time here in the summer is exquisite! We had an opportunity to use the golf course a couple of times and the swimming pool with our grandkids. The view from the patio is truly picturesque and the sunsets were stunning . The hosts were wonderful and attentive. Can’t wait to return!

Great family visit

We loved our stay here! By the end, the kids were sad to be going home since their beds at home weren't as comfy. The location is fantastic. It was so convenient to be able to walk to the pool, beach, or Lake Louise for a quick run. Except for the lack of stove or dishwasher, this feels like a full-on apartment with comfortable amenities.

SPA LIKE EXPERIENCE

GREAT PROPERTY TO UNWIND AND RELAX. THE BED MIGHT POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN THE MOST COMFORTABLE I HAVE SLEPT IN. DEEP PLUSH CARPET TO BATH YOUR TIRED FEET IN AFTER A LONG DAY PLAYING GOLF. SCENIC DECK TO SOAK IN THE OUTDOORS AND GRILL SOME FOOD ON. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.
