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.

Bellingham Christmas 2023
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.

Never Again
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!
