Beautiful view of lake, clean and well-laid out house. Caught fish from the boat dock. Kitchen was well-stocked with cooking gear and appliances.

Great grandma, mom and dad, all the kids and our 1st grandbaby, age 1, wanted an easy drive from Seattle to a lake. Bellingham offered many options and we settled on the Blue Hydrangea house on Lake Whatcom. Easy access on main floor for GG and mom's walker, who is disabled. Navigating downstairs to the lake was challenging but doable with assistance. Deck was a nice option with a sweeping lake view. We brought our portable, suction grab bars for the master shower, but a grab bar near each toilet and in the main shower would be a nice addition. We love the cozy and firm mattresses but challenging to get into even for my 6'4" husband. Maybe a step stool in each bedroom? Galley kitchen was great for preparing meals for 9. The overhead fan is loose and fell out of ceiling after dinner the first night, and is missing the lights. We managed just fine. Sooooooo many puzzles. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Susan

Everything went smooth and was well organized. The house was exactly what we were needing for our stay. The lake was absolutely stunning and we even saw a rainbow.

We enjoyed the property and had a great time.

When my husband and I arrived at the house we were excited about the location and view of the lake, but the house was filthy. Sheets in the master and one bunk bed had not been washed, there floors were filthy and food on nightstands and coffee table. We had to go get cleaning supplies and get everything cleaned up before our family from out of town arrived for the long weekend. Once cleaned, we had a great time, but I would not stay here again. Also, we tried reaching out to the host all weekend via phone and text and we never heard back until two weeks later with an email.

I stayed here with my two friends and we had a very nice time. The location is ideal - the home is on Lake Whatcom but still very accessible into town.

This place is awesome! We all had a wedding to go to and needed a place to sleep a lot of people. It slept all 12 of us comfortably and with ease. The place is clean and had everything we needed to cook, take showers, play board games and the best part it was hot out and it being right on the lake could swim anytime night and day. Pluses were plenty of parking and very very nice kitchen to cook in. I will definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at Blue Hydrangea. The location was great- perfect for enjoying the lake and a variety of outdoor activities. The home itself was clean and very spacious; cooking was made easy with the pretty fully stocked kitchen. Thanks for having us, we would happily return!

The Blue Hydrangea was everything we hoped for and more! Spotless, beautiful interior and the lake was spectacular. Our group thoroughly enjoyed their stay!

We were taking a tour at Western Washington and wanted to stay in the woods instead of town. We also did not want to stay at a air b&b. And we are so glad that we stayed here. Bring sleep masks if you want to sleep in. Thank you for sharing your home!

The pictures don’t show how expansive a view of the lake is! Radiant heat makes it cozy & comfy.

I would highly recommend Blue Hydrangea! The house is exactly like the pictures.. clean, well stocked, the view is amazing, & the space lends itself well to groups & individuals.
Brian was extremely communicative, gave us weather updates on the day we arrived, had a cute sign welcoming us by the door, & allowed us to check out slightly later, which was amazing, since we were a group of mums having a break for the first time in years & got to sleep in!
Kitchen is well stocked, there are some games & puzzles, but would also say bring your own or cards, & tons of towels & everyday items. You really don’t have to worry about much!
Would highly recommend & will definitely bring my family back again in the future!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house on the lake. It's right by the road so you can hear the traffic a bit from the back yard however inside of the house you don't hear it at all. Kids would like to come back.

Home was immaculate and perfect for our needs. And we enjoyed the closeness to the water - brought our own kayaks and boards and children had a wonderful time - (No equipment available at home.) Great access to biking trails. Would definitely come again - as there were activities for all ages.
Suggest also having a supply of wine glasses on hand. And we were able to cook on the stove's grill - rather than use the charcoal grill - and the oven wasn't working.
