The property was a great home base for our weekend away! Great value for the space. Our family really enjoyed the theater room. Everything was clean and things were easy to find. The host was responsive and easy to work with. Our kids really loved the home!

We rented this property as a homebase for a short reunion of college roommates. It was terrific, a great place to hang out together with all the amenities we needed. Nicole was very nice and quickly responded to questions.

The property was awesome - right on the golf course, close to downtown Bellingham. The only real problem was lack of communication of where the key was located, no book or instructions on the internet/Wi-Fi connection, how to work the lights in the house (very state-of-the-art system), & what we must do on departure?? Typical guidance that is usually available. Even though The owner lived in the upper level of the house, we did not make contact. I could not get into my VRBO app because I forgot my password & could not get good Wi-Fi reception on my phone. So we made do, had a great visit w/my granddaughter who goes to WWU, & would love to stay at house again w/more communication, which could be my fault as much as anyone else!

We enjoyed the place very much. Everything we needed was in the kitchen. Comfortable beds. Beautiful place!

We loved our stay here. Great views and very relaxing. Working with Nicole was super easy and we’d recommend staying here again.

I think it is important for the renters to know is that the renting portion of the house is actually a basement. The site shows and picture of the whole house and refers to 5000 sf, but the owner stays on the first level and the bottom partly in the ground portion of the house is being rented. there is no AC and I felt the house is overpriced and left a day early. The location is really nice.

We had a wonderful time with our pups in this beautiful place! The owner was a great communicator. The place fit our needs perfectly.

I booked a last-minute getaway here for my family of 5 over Labor Day weekend. We had a lovely time. The is plenty to do for all ages - so much that we didn’t get to it all. The lake access is very convenient for taking paddleboards out and we were pleasantly surprised to discover several outstanding restaurants in the area. The theater and hot tub provided excellent entertainment when the weather wasn’t great and we wanted to stay in. We hope to come back again very soon!

My husband and I stayed 2 years ago and once again for 2 weeks and it did not disappoint!!! Nicole the owner is fantastic and very helpful, the house has everything you may need and the location is absolutely beautiful!!! We will be back!!

Our family of 5 plus dog had a great experience at this beautiful home. The off leash dog park was fantastic! Everyday we would take a cooler, some chairs, a beach umbrella and set up shop right by the water and watch all the pups play. The kids loved it. The water was so nice and surprisingly warmer then we thought it would be. Nicole left the membership card for the recreation center in the drawer so we took full advantage of the pool also. Everyday we would enjoy the hot tub and watch the sun go down. At night the kids would hang out in the theater room while the adults enjoyed drinks on the patio next to the fire pit. There was enough room in the 2 small fridges and mini freezer for our family of 5 for 5 days. We just brought costco pre-made meals, stuff for sandwiches, burgers and dogs. I would suggest bringing some ice, a cooler is provided so we used that for our drinks. Nicole was a great host and was quick to respond with any questions or concerns. She left us easy directions on how to use everything and all the different places to go, eg: restaurants, hiking, golfing. All in all a great vacation!

We stayed for about a week and had a blast playing golf, swimming, and watching the wildlife. The house was a perfect fit with the mini-kitchen and theater room.

The house was perfect for family of 5. The location is great by the lake with Mountain View, wilderness of nature. Lots of things to do and visit within 1.5 h drive the most. We will definitely come back. The host was very responsive and helpful!!

Spacious unit with all the necessities. Very beautiful location in front of golf course and lake. Kids enjoyed the private hot tub and the community pool which has a small park Adjacent. Communication with owner was excellent. Highly recommend.

Beautiful area, lots to do. Great location to take it all in

Our stay was very comfortable and we really enjoyed the easy access to the lake.

Our family had the most amazing time at this property. The home was immaculate. Stocked & supplied with everything we needed. The kayaks were so fun. The lake is a quick walk with sweet Deer just hanging out paying you no mind. It really is a piece of paradise. We hope to return. Can’t thank the owners enough.

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of spending 1 month in this beautiful house. To wake up to such beautiful surroundings in your backyard was beyond amazing ! We had a wonderful time walking to the lake, kayaking and taking our dogs to the dog park there. The house was spotless and everything we needed was right there for us. There’s an awesome hot tub for use and a fire pit which made for some beautiful romantic evenings. Our hostess Nicole and her husband are wonderful people who made sure we were having a great time and had everything we needed. I highly recommend this house not only for its beautiful surroundings but perfect location to experience the best that Bellingham has to offer. You won’t be disappointed!

I was late booking a retreat spot for my family. Lucking Taylor's Resort was available. Given the luxuries; hot tub, exercise room, theatre, I would have expected a full stove & fridge. We made due with hot plate, microwave, outdoor grills and coolers. Might clarify the kitchen area for future guests. I enjoyed being so near the first holes of the golf course. The view is open and lovely. The Lake air is wonderful. Some took a dip in the lake at the park by the boating area. I had an ankle sprain prior to our visit so I preferred the hot tub. I was challenged during unloading with coolers and food etc. The pathway was a bit steep for an ankle boot. I would suggest talking to the owners regarding better access through the garage for loading and unloading gear to and from the lower level. Finally I found the location convenient to WWU for graduation. Lakeway drive and Whatcom Lake road are essentially the same road. What a lovely place to celebrate and relax.

Such a great rental! Nicole was great to work with and hands down super accommodating for our family. The space was incredibly clean and described perfectly. Our kids loved the movie room and hot tub. This space was a perfect and much more enjoyable then a hotel! Thank you for a great stay!

We are a Grandma and Grandpa (70ish) with two grandkids (11 and 15) and a dog. I started looking for a place to get away on the Thursday before Memorial Day weekend (three nights). I found this place and was able to rent it starting the following day. Thank you, Nicole. As with any vacation rental, there were pros and cons. First the good. My son and his wife and baby daughter and dog joined us for our last night. This place accommodated all of us with no trouble. The patio overlooking the golf course was perfect. There is a large table with chairs, a couch and chairs around a lovely firepit, a grill, and a hot tub that was all fired up and ready for us. We ate all of our meals out there. The movie room was an incredible bonus. Even our one day of rain didn't keep us from walking to the marina and park. The not-so-good: This is a daylight basement apartment. The walkway down (not stairs) is steep. My legs were sore the day after we returned home, but that's a good thing! If you have mobility issues, this is not the place for you. The kitchen is challenging. Because of the pictures and description from Nicole, and a review from one disgruntled renter, I came prepared for this. Countertop space and a small sink were my biggest issues. There is an extra room/office that I used as an extension of the kitchen. Since there was no space for stacking dirty dishes next to the sink, I bought some paper plates and cups. Between the grill and the hot plate, I was able to cook some fabulous meals. We would love to come back again.

We had a wonderful week in Sudden Valley. The home is spacious, well maintained, and very clean. The view from the patio is beautiful. The mature landscaping was stunning. We saw a lot of wildlife, and really enjoyed the nearby dog park. This is a very quiet and friendly neighborhood. The owner is excellent to work with.

We were lucky enough to spend an entire summer in this wonderful apartment. There was plenty of room, comfortable beds and the media room was an unexpected treat. Nikki and Jason were wonderful hosts and were always there to help. I can't say enough about how beautiful this space is. The view was breathtaking. We enjoyed cooking and eating outside. We hope to come back!

My husband and I decided to go on a short vacation with the kids. We fell in love with this beautiful home located in a little community called Sudden Valley. The rental is extremity large with very high ceilings and lots of rooms, the bedrooms are beautifully decorated and the media room is out of this world, I've never seen anything like it in a rental home. My husband enjoyed the fitness room with the mounted TV, this room was also clean and well maintained. Our family also enjoyed the 8 person hot tub every night before we went to bed. We would love to come back in the summer time so our family can enjoy the perks of renting a home on the water and on the golf course, which you can see from every room inside the rental. The view from this vacation rental was breathtaking.

Came to Bellingham to visit relatives thru the holidays and we wanted our own space thru the week. Quaint basement suite. Very spacious. Perfect for small family. Two full baths, seprate bedrooms and pull out couch/TV in living area. Movie room was huge hit with the kids. Workout area and office space was a nice bonus on rainy days. No large oven but outside grill, hot plate, toaster oven and microwave provided all we needed for cooking or heating up basic meals. Nicole was very accommodating to all of our needs. Perfect space that was cheaper than getting hotels rooms and eating out every meal. Thank you Nicole!

The kitchen is not adequate. There is no dishwasher, no oven and only a small portable cooktop. There is a very small kitchen table that seats 4 but no dining room table. There is very limited kitchen counter space. There is an empty office type room that serves no purpose. The lighting system is bizarre, way too complex to be easily used. The bedrooms and bathrooms are OK. The TV room is a plus. Significant remodeling is required to convert the downstairs portion of this shared house into a proper rental property. The owner is nice but the home needs work to be worth the price.

Great location, nicely decorated, very clean, and comfortable beds. The guys loved the media room. People with mobility issues might have problems with the steep sidewalk. Bedside lamps would be nice.

House is big and clean with everything you will need for a great stay. It is located centrally so everything in Bellingham is close and easy to get to.

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. The home was extremely clean and had great little extras that made our trip easier (like laundry detergent and a washer and dryer!). It’s in an absolutely gorgeous location with stunning views. The sunrises and sunsets from the back porch were just gorgeous. Our kiddos loved the theater room! Would definitely stay again if the needs arises in Bellingham. Thanks Nikki!

Great property- would be fun any time of year. Owner was easy to work with. Would definitely stay again!

This spacious home has all the accommodations you could possibly want! Between the beautiful bedrooms, work out room, media room and hot tub, everyone in our group was extremely happy. And Nikki and Jason were fantastic hosts. Quick to respond to questions, helpful and friendly. We will miss them and their beautiful home.

Great place, awesome view, super quiet. Place itself was well stocked and comfortable. Nice location where it feels pretty peaceful but is an easy drive to things in Bellingham.
