The rental space has very high,13-foot ceilings, two large bedrooms with walk in closets, two full bathrooms, fitness room, private movie theater with surround sound and reclining lounge chairs, SONOs sound system throughout the rental property, controlled by mounted IPAD or your smartphone.

    This property offers the BEST view of Lake Whatcom and the Sudden Valley golf course from every room in the property.

    This rental space has a kitchen area with everything a family needs to prepare meals, including a two burning electric stove top, instant pot, microwave oven, hot plate, George Forman indoor/outdoor grill, outdoor BBQ, two large toaster ovens, three coffee makers, slow cooker/electric pot and a toaster.

The front nine of Sudden Valley is relatively open and flat and borders the shores of Lake Whatcom. Fairway landing areas are relatively generous, and the greens are large.

    However, the back nine follows a ridge uphill with narrow evergreen-fringed fairways and smaller greens that have more character. (Please See Video Link)

    Misrepresentation
    Please be aware of this property. Make sure to get claim insurance because this owner claims damage when the property was already damaged upon arrival. Hot tub is not covered Gym equipment doesn’t work only the elliptical Only a hot plate so don’t plan on cooking big meals for family. Dog barking upstairs and owner in and out blocking the driveway so you can’t load or unload your belongings. A very steep driveway to walk down to get to their basement. The owner claimed damage so beware and we did nit even use the treadmill other than turn it on because it wouldn’t work. I am sad that there is no honesty in rentals anymore. Even after leaving the property cleaner than when we arrived. I have used VRBO for years and this is the first time I have been disappointed in the ownership of this property. I hope I am heard so that you can tread lightly or not at all with false claims and dishonesty. Sincerely, Danielle

    Spectacular!!!
    This is everything you would want in a place to stay. Not only was it everything that was promised, but unexpected details were a great surprise. Like the retro sit and spin for the grand kids, along with numerous other great toys they could play with and help them feel at home. Can’t wait to return!!

    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.

    Bellingham Visit
    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!

    Sudden Valley summer - golf course
    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.
