Tucked into an evergreen grove within the lakeside community of Sudden Valley, this woodland property is a place for families, golfers, tennis players, and watersports enthusiasts to feel at home. Enjoy all sorts of HOA amenities and two levels of beautiful deck space to come home to each day.
As part of the Sudden Valley HOA on the western shores of Lake Whatcom, this two-story home enjoys access to facilities throughout the community. There's an 18-hole golf course designed by Ted Robinson (with the front nine on the lakeshore, the back nine in the wooded hills), a marina on the lake, five tennis courts, a basketball court, several parks, a library, and miles of hiking trails along the lake and up in the woods. Downtown Bellingham is just nine miles west.
You'll begin and end most days outdoors, breathing in the fresh forest air on one of the decks. There's plenty of space for sipping morning coffee, barbecuing in the afternoons, and dining at sunset with the sunlight filtering through the trees.
The main living spaces are on the upper of the two floors, with views of the woods framed by rear walls of glass. Enjoy an elegant kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a formal dining room with a live-edge table, and a living room with a TV to watch in the warmth of the fireplace. Families with children will feel incredibly welcome, thanks to the playroom full of toys (and even an indoor ropes gym) downstairs.
Of the bedrooms, one is on the main floor, offering a desk workspace. The downstairs primary suite has deck access, as is a kids' room stocked with books, toys, and games. Central air-conditioning, a washer/dryer, and complimentary WiFi are also provided.

5.0 / 5.0
Amazing home, and I say home because it felt as such. Beautiful trees that I would love to see covered with snow. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that offers peace and tranquility. The owners really put their thoughtfulness and hearts into this home.
5.0 / 5.0
We had a great time here, played a few courses around Bellingham and this house was a great base and was very comfortable.
5.0 / 5.0
We had a wonderful time and super appreciated the kids play room. There was so much entertainment for our girls-ages 8 and 11!! The area has a lot to offer! The communication was quick with the property management. However, the action to follow was very slow and inefficient. Great touches on this house! Beautiful showers and cool lighting! So many fun things!
4.0 / 5.0
The house is nice, the outdoor area is beautiful! We had some issues but the manager was very responsive when we reached out. Parking is difficult because of the steep driveway but worth it for the beauty of the area.
5.0 / 5.0
Lovely house that accommodates families well. We had a fun family weekend with this house as a perfect resting place for our family. Plenty of space and a play room that invites the whole family to hang out in.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone and families.

Had a very great trip
5.0 / 5.0
The home was spacious and clean. The surrounding area was beautiful and peaceful. Our kids really enjoyed the play room and all the toys. Probably one of the only homes we've stayed at that is very accommodating for kids. Would definitely recommend staying here!
5.0 / 5.0
Our family stayed over Christmas. It is a very nice place, clean and as advertised. We would have liked to see a few more everyday items for use in the kitchen though. Most items are there except for things like serving bowls, additional spatulas, stirring spoons, etc. It made preparing and serving Christmas dinner a little more inventive. Otherwise, a very nice stay.

Lovely home tucked in the trees
4.0 / 5.0
Lovely home! The primary bath was a dream, and plenty of space for everyone. Sparkling clean, and Dove toiletries were appreciated. Primary bed was extra firm, and TV wasn't very workable (no volume control), but the soaking tub and forest setting were dreamy. The 10am check out time is early for a rental stay (standard is 11), so be aware when planning your weekend. Overall, a very nice stay for the family.

Great house, lots of room. Bathrooms are fabulous
1.0 / 5.0
It says there is television at the house, but that’s all it is, a TV with no channels to watch so you have to use an app that you pay for, and even then there is no way to control the TV volume so it is useless. The bath towels had long black hairs stuck in them. The master bedroom and bathroom smelled of mildew and the shower had pink and black mold. The bed in the master is hard as a rock, wife and I both have bad lower back and hip pain so the drive home was miserable. The overall cleanliness of the property was worse than most hotels I’ve stayed in, unacceptable for how expensive the property is. One of the sliding glass doors downstairs does not lock, they have some type of metal bar that’s supposed to attach to brackets but someone snapped one end off so there’s no way to lock it. The driveway is insanely steep and that’s the only place you can park, so be prepared especially if you are old or have bad knees, this is not the place for you.
We would not have rented this house had we known there was no TV, the listing clearly says it does in the Amenities section. When we contacted VRBO they didn’t even respond, we called Vacasa and they were useless and sounded like they couldn’t care less.

My granddaughter declared the house the tree house! We were all amazed at the size of the pine trees in Sudden Valley. We had some great family hikes and really enjoyed our stay!
