Gorgeously situated on the eastern shores of Lake Whatcom, this two-bedroom home in Bellingham is full of breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. In this quintessential Pacific Northwest setting, you'll have a private dock on the lake, a small beach to yourselves, and an outdoor firepit at the water's edge. This house is close to Chuckanut Drive, a beautiful coastal drive that passes multiple state parks and hiking and mountain biking trails.

Take the ramp or the small staircase to enter this lakefront home, where an open floor plan will greet you, along with exposed beam ceilings and plentiful windows framing the lake. The living room is both bright and cozy, offering an overstuffed sofa and armchairs, a wood-burning stove, and a TV and DVD player, with both streaming capability and a DVD library for your viewing pleasure.

Prepare breakfast with a view each morning in the well-appointed kitchen with butcher-block countertops, and eat at the spacious farm table or outside on the covered deck. In the day ahead, you can swim from the dock or the private beach, whip up a barbecue lunch on the gas grill, and share s'mores and stories around the firepit. A washer/dryer is provided to refresh your swimsuits and beach towels each evening.

Wonderful stay for childhood friends

I recently stayed in this home with four of my childhood friends. We descended from the east coast, Midwest and PNW. We stayed here for three nights and it was perfect. This place is everything the pictures show and more. Highly recommend this spot and look forward to come back!

What a fantastic lake cottage! Clean, well stocked (except for spices. Had to go out and buy S&P!) But to was just a lovely, clean and well-appointed cottage for a weekend at the lake. Wood stove was a plus. Access to some wonderful parks and the city was easy and fun!

Beautiful property

I loved the property everything was great. The only thing I am frustrated about is the cleaning fee and then we were expected to clean so many things without that being clearly explained. There's a note book we didn't know to look in and by chance did the last night other wise we would have had no idea of our cleaning responsibility. I think I should receive my cleaning fee back based upon that. Beautiful property.

Great venue for a family on the water

Splendid retreat for a single family with young kids eager to play in the lake and sit by a campfire. (4 stars). For adults, the property is limited. One bathroom, one mirror and one 3x3 standup shower. The bedrooms and bath are well appointed, but small for adults. Not a good venue for 2 adult couples or adult family with adult kids, who are sharing tight accommodations (that was us). Remote at the end of Lake Whatcom, so bring everything. No coffee and No wine to welcome you. Lots of mosquitos. Overall very comfortable. A few upgrades, plus a second bathroom and screened porch would make this a fantastic place.

Family friendly beach cottage

the pros: Quiet dead end street, no through traffic, two docks, flat and nice property to play on, lots of board games and movies, they provided firewood, really just the perfect beach house, it is south west facing so you get lots of afternoon and evening sun. The house is in the trees so it doesn’t get too hot. Wonderful deck for sitting on. the cons: There is a public access of the creek right next to the property so you will have a lot of strangers playing right next to you The main bedroom bed is the most uncomfortable bed I think I have ever slept on. For a nice vacation rental to have such a low quality small rock hard bed is sad and uncomfortable. They provide a fireplace and a fire pit with no way of starting the fire, so make sure to bring your own fire starters I always find it really annoying when you pay per night and they want you to do things like laundry and dishes and garbage when you leave, but then don’t provide you with enough garbage bags and dish soap. Just give us enough to function for the whole stay. I don’t want to have to bring trash bags to take out my own trash. by the same logic, I don’t wanna have to pay per night and then bring my own toilet paper. There are no spices or oil or anything. The kitchen is completely bare, so bring absolutely everything. still giving this property a five star because I think it was priced really well, and the property itself was as described and exactly that our needs. If they could upgrade those couple of things, it would really be a wonderful stay.

Laketime

The property was wonderful. The house is great. Clean, comfortable bed and couch. But I HATE Vacasa. They will not leave you alone. Constantly sending texts or emails. They also added an additional day to my stay without my authorization and would not get back to me when I tried to cancel it. I hope the property owner thinks about using a different property manager. I will never rent from a Vacasa managed home again

Quiet cabin on a lake

This lovely cabin is at the end of the road on the shore of Lake Whatcom. Quiet, clean, with comfortable bed and furniture. Just a note if you are mobility impaired: there is a ramp to the entry and good mobility inside. The bathroom is a tight fit for a walker, but I found it doable.
