The owner’s attention to thoughtful details, the comfortable and nice decor, and all the extra touches made me feel very welcome. It was a treat to come “home” at the end of each day. Also, the location is good as there is a great brew pub, coffee shop and bakery and grocery store all within a block! I’ll say it again, this is one of the best rentals I’ve ever stayed in! Thank you Adam! You’re a great host! ##### Lori L. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tiffany S. Aug 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fully-stocked place & great location We enjoyed our stay & highly recommend this place. It was clean, organized & had everything we needed for our short stay. The location was perfect too, just a short walk to all the restaurants, bars & stores. There’s unfenced outdoor space to use, but not ideal for lounging.\*There was a loud heavy metal party next door during one of the nights of our stay (5pm to 10:30pm). We were out most of the time of the party & we managed the noise until the loud music ended. We understand that it was out of anyone’s control & place no blame/issue on the host. But it did affect our overall experience that evening. ##### Tiffany S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shuyang L. Jun 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy There are restaurants and a supermarket near this vacation rental, and it’s very convenient to walk to both for shopping and dining.From here, it takes no more than 20 minutes by car to reach the waterfall park, the beach, or downtown.The room is fully equipped, clean, and fresh. What stood out the most was the artistic touch in the decor—the beautiful wall art, the cute ornaments on the table, and the uniquely patterned dishes in the kitchen left a deep impression.We were also pleasantly surprised to find a few pairs of chopsticks in the utensil drawer—such a thoughtful touch from the host, and very convenient for us! ##### Shuyang L. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Priscilla S. Aug 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy As the posting says, the house is both charming and definitely historic. It brought back memories of my grandmother's Victorian in San Francisco. It's well decorated and you can tell thought went into the remodeling.One of the best features was the location. When the owners say close to downtown, they mean close to downtown. I rented homes where "close to downtown" meant a two mile round trip hike. When you reach a certain age, that can become a problem. The location of this house is approximately a block and a half from downtown. Also, you have an assigned parking space for your car at the back of the property.And a real find, only a block away, was the Hammerhead Coffee Shop with great coffee and small breakfast items. Do try the Breakfast Biscuit served with homemade preserves. Wonderful! Across the street from the Hammerhead is a upscale grocery store which offers local fresh fish, plus specialty items of the area.All 'n all, we had a wonderful stay and Bellingham is a delightful town. ##### Priscilla S.
