2 Bedroom Cottage in Bellingham

Perfectly located for the FIFA World Cup! This home is right in between Seattle and Vancouver - 1.5 hours from each city! *NO PARTIES/additional guests beyond what you book) please!! There is a day use charge that will be sent if you do not add guests in the booking. Outdoor cameras on property (property managers live on the same street)* Relax with the whole family at this peaceful lakefront retreat with 90 feet of waterfront. The home is located 2 minutes from the boat launch and now has a new dock - as of 12/2024 (shallow water-no jumping off the dock). This is a rustic cabin-with many 80’s charm still (under mount cabinet coffee maker), classic appliances, blue sink/tub (bathroom), etc.
Bellingham has 700+ biking trails, whale watching and schooner tours to name a few activities
The space
We purchased this property as a means to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. It is a quiet retreat and a perfect way to enjoy magnificent views, great swimming in the summer and fun wildlife (the eagles come swooping along the lake often and the bunnies will say hi also).
If you are looking for an upscale, sparkly home, this is NOT it. It is well stocked and furnished.
**We allow one dog - pet fee applies. No cats due to allergies.
Please add a pet to the reservations when applicable**
Be mindful that around water (lakes, rivers, etc), there tends to be more rodents. We have traps/ultrasonic repellers/etc) to deter rodents. Please keep screen doors closed at all times.
Boat tie up rules - do not tie a boat to the float more than 2 hours per day and always use boat bumpers. No tie ups to anything else on the property, including but not limited to retaining wall, pier, gangway, pilings, etc). Absolutely no overnight tie ups to the float as this could cause damage at the guests expense. No anchoring the boat allowed in the lake. Please use the boat launch 2 minutes down the road-DO NOT USE the ramp on the property other than for small boats (kayaks). Damage to the property/fines from the County caused by boats/etc are at the guest expense.
Cameras - we have cameras monitoring the exterior of the property.
There are kayaks and a playset for guest use. These may sometimes have cobwebs-after all, they are outdoors. We have a broom and/or rags to wipe them down.
