About this house rental
Our home is on right on the lake so it’s the perfect place relax year round! Almost 1000 Sq ft. of decking over 2 levels provides a multitude of places to hang out and enjoy the lake and nature or take in a hot tub, sauna or both (there's even a cold shower for those bold enough to try contrast therapy). For those wanting to get closer to nature there is a large side yard with firepit, adirondack chairs and swing. The Inside of the house is designed with the intention of blurring the lines between outside and inside with tons of natural stone and lake themed decor. With 3 levels, our home allows for both privacy and group hanging out. The top floor is just the Master bedroom and ensuite with jacuzzi tub. The Main level is perfect for family gatherings around the fireplace, kitchen or in the games room. The lower level has a large family room and 2 bedrooms. Each level has full a bathroom. There are loungers, hammock and a swing on the upper deck. The public beach is a short 10 minute walk or for the more adventurous, there is a steep walk down to the lake from the property to a secluded beach with more adirondack chairs, fire-pit, and kayaks (owner accepts no liability if guests choose to use the rustic path down or use kayaks). Please remember to bring slippers/socks as our home is a "shoe free zone" indoors. No Parties or events. Residential Neighbourhood- Quiet hours outdoors after dark. 24-hour outdoor video surveillance and noise monitoring of decks and entry doors.

Absolutely stunning views of the lake. The house has everything we needed for a wonderful vacation!

We just happened to stay during a once-in-lifetime northern lights sighting from the deck of this incredible rental house. I can’t even tell you how wonderful that experience was! The whole place is so well cared for, clean, everything we could ever need was provided. You will fall in love with this place and never want to leave once you get here! Thank you, Anna!

Couldn't have asked for a better location for a quick weekend getaway. Loved everything about the place from the house itself and the amenities, to the location and views, the mini-spa on the deck, and the games room (my son is now addicted to arcade basketball). Maybe most of all, coming from the heart of Seattle, where absolute quiet is hard to come by, I loved the silence and serenity! Absolutely perfect!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay an experience. We especially enjoyed sitting in the hot tub at night star gazing and watching the deer that visited every day.

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful house with incredible views of the lake. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. Probably the most well-stocked home we have stayed in. Other reviews that talk about the steep path down to the lake are not exaggerated. While we had no problem with it but it would not be easy to navigate for someone older or with mobility problems. The house was clean and tastefully decorated. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at this wonderful home. Our family (two adults, two teenage boys) appreciated all the space to spread out inside as well as outside. The kitchen had everything that we needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable. We even had a peek at the label on the mattress in the master because it was so comfortable. We loved the hot tub, the game room, and our youngest son loved playing the acoustic guitar. The house has everything that you could need or want. We loved the different decks and chairs to sit on, including a swing chair that one of our kids spent time in every morning. We ventured out several times on the kayaks and sat by the water enjoying the beautiful views. There's also a nice sandy spot to swim as well. There's a one mile trail approximately 1/2 a mile from the house. It's a packed gravel trail that loops a quiet pond. If you enjoy running this is the perfect trail to run on. We encountered deer every single day without fail. The property manager was easily available and responsive. We do not have anything negative to say about our experience and will definitely be back again!

The home and property were wonderful. The kitchen is well stocked, the beddings were comfy and the view of the lake is beautiful. The kayaks, paddles and life jackets were a fun addition to the lake shore experience. We fished and caught Bass and Trout. (All fish caught went back in to the lake) No fires due to fire control but not necessary as the weather was kind to us. Grateful for our time in such a warm and inviting home.

One of the best rentals we've stayed in. Well kept, stocked and decorated! We did not expect such a beautiful lake view and great areas for our family to hang out, it did not disappoint. While the stairs and outdoor path weren't too difficult for us to manage, 3 stories might be much for some.

This property was AMAZING. Good location close to BHam - about 25 minute drive to everything, with a local store closer. But a beautiful home, with an incredible view. Loved spending time with family between outside adventures looking out over the lake. Hot tub was fantastic - sauna would be great (if you are a sauna person). Lake access is definitely steep, but pretty cool to be able to go down there, and have access to kayaks and a fire pit. Cold enough on our trip, though, that we only got in a single polar plunge for the braver members of the family. Would definitely recommend, and return as well.

I stayed here with my girlfriends for a couple of nights to celebrate a couple birthdays. The house was beautiful, clean, stocked up and cozy. Thank you Anna for sharing your beautiful house. It was very clean and we enjoyed our time there. We would love to stay there again.

Had a great time

The lakehouse was the perfect meet-up spot for a week's vacation exploring the PNW. The place sleeps 8 and that's how many we had. Plenty of room to spread out during the days, though, I would say, we could have used a little more elbow room for sleeping - but we made it work! The kitchen was excellent for large meals and well stocked. All the bathrooms were super clean with great water pressure throughout. All in all a great home base for exploring the area or just relaxing on the decks or the swing. Hot tub and sauna were a great bonus. Better than the pictures. Recommended. Matt

Adult family get away
We loved the house and the hosts were great to work with. We come from the country in PA and we were surprised how close the neighbors lived. We were only there for a long week-end but it was great creating family memories.

Beautiful home with lake views
We truly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home with fantastic views of Lake Whatcom. We were in town to visit WWU as my son will be attending school there this fall. The drive to campus was easy (approx 20 minutes) and enjoyable. Lots of wildlife (deer & eagles) plus lovely views of the lake. We would definitely stay here again!

Peace and Quiet
For being in a neighborhood, we were surprised at how quiet it was in the home. No car noises at all. The water view was amazing and we loved the little pizza and pasta restaurant only a couple of minutes away. We had a great time!

Wonderful views, quiet neighborhood, updated home
Wonderful, updated home with all the amenities. The owner had great communication and was easy to work with. She has lots of nice touches for her guests and the high end kitchen is fully stocked. We enjoyed the pristine views of the lake and wonderful nearby hikes. What a great weekend retreat! Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

Family Gathering
First time for a multi-night get-together with family since before the pandemic. Had a wonderful time in an "eagle's nest" perched above Lake Whatcom in Sudden Valley. A beautiful setting with several destination hikes for all ages. The home worked great for our family.

Relaxation and Rejuvenation
We had a wonderful stay at Lakeside, the view is magnificent! The beds were all very comfortable, the view from the master on the top floor is breathtaking. They had everything needed for our stay; towels, laundry and dishwasher soap, condiments, spices, even popcorn! The game room was used daily and we had nightly board game challenges. Mornings we enjoyed our coffee on the bottom deck with the table and chairs, and our cocktails there too. The hammock chair on the top deck was taken over by our teenagers.
It was the perfect space to read, relax and rejuvenate our mind, body and soul.
Although there is a path down to the water, it is as stated, very steep. Make sure you have everything you want when you go down the first time, you only want to go back up once. :)
The hot tub worked great and was very relaxing after the hike up from the lakefront.
Anna was very easy to communicate with for arrival and departure, along with the great instruction book. We did not have any issues with our stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we enjoyed ourselves immensely and look forward to coming again.

Beautiful Location
This home has a quiet, beautiful location on the lake. It had plenty of room for our family and friends. 20 minutes to Bellingham and all there is to enjoy in tha vibrant town. Anna is very easy to work with.

Clean and well furnished property and nice view
The property actually looks newer and nicer than on photos. Got everything you need except for food. A deli is only 5 minutes drive away. Very nice lake view. A perfect hideout place for a couple of days quietness and peace. We loved it.

Lovely lakefront view
We had a great stay in Sudden Valley on the lake. The house was well set up for our needs and we loved the view of the lake. The only drawback was the distance from town, just about everything was a 25 minute drive, but otherwise it was a great set up. The host was very helpful and the property clean and well maintained

You Can't Go Wrong
This tri-level property is perfect for families or friends to gather. There are neighbors close by, so this isn't a place for a loud party, but for everyday fun and conversation, its perfect. The owner is VERY responsive to questions and was a joy to work with. We hope to visit again. And again.

Great place for a family getaway!
We had a great time at this property! The house was well appointed and the property owner txt us before check in just to make sure we had everything we needed. It is definitely a trek down to the beach, so not for anyone who is mobility challenged. The kids were pleasantly surprised to find the house had a game room! We would love to come back in the summer months, but this property really is a gem at any time of year.

Lovely home, views - lots of stairs
We enjoyed our stay even though it was very cold and rainy thanks to the views, the hot tub, and the lovely home with stocked everything you might need. The only negative is there is no bedroom on the main floor with steep stairs up or down to bedrooms. But it was so nice we'd come back again anyway! Good communication with the owner too.

Lakeside Hideaway
We chose a weekend getaway near Bellingham for proximity to mountain biking trails. We had never stayed outside of downtown, but due to the weather and pandemic, our group stayed mostly in the house the whole weekend. We loved the hot tub on the deck, the multiple rooms to spread out, have game nights, and do yoga with a phenomenal view. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked for cooking. We loved it and would stay again!

Beautiful lake house
Our family enjoyed our stay at this lake house. It was nice to launch our kayaks and floats and then secure them at the base of house to sit and enjoy the secluded patch away from the crowded beaches. Everyone (6yrs-38yrs) was able to use the steep stairs after we worked out the best way around the missing railing and we took supplies down with us to avoid multiple treks. The house is well stocked, and the only thing we missed having were a couple of fans to use when it was quite warm with no breeze. It was the perfect place to relax and create summer memories with our kids already asking when can they go back again.

Great place but under advertised
The house is very nice and extremely well stocked. The beach however is a challenge. The trip down to the beach is long and very steep and the trip up is a work out for sure. The railing is missing on part of the stairs as well. The decks however are great with beauty all around and lots of space to spread out, our family had a great time. The pics do not do it justice.

Mountain Biking Weekend
Overall, great stay on the lake. Location and setting were perfect. Only negative (or fix it items) I noticed:
-Hot tub could stand to be cleaned
-no threshold on first floor bathroom (trip hazard)
- outdoor solar lights on first deck canopy don’t work

Lake house in the trees
What a beautiful & tranquil place to stay! Very clean & kitchen well stocked. Super close to a very well stocked convenience store about 3 minute drive away. The only reason I didn’t give it a five...the deck is EXTREMELY slippery when wet. It rained about 80% of the weekend and although the both decks still allow for outside usage in the rain, they are dangerously slippery. My kids, husband and I all had similar scary incidences where we almost fell. Older people or young children might not be so lucky or able to keep their balance. Also was unsure of how to turn on outdoor lower deck lights...making it difficult to cover the hot tub at night. We still loved the house & enjoyed our stay!
