Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Absolutely fabulous, modern property with casual style equipped with anything you could possibly want and everything done right by it's wonderful host Emily. As 30 year hosts of a VRBO 10 star property ourselves, we left totally impressed and wish we could have stayed longer. This extremely comfortable house is completely immersed in nature, surrounded by enchanting forest and native fauna, complete with the odd deer grazing in the yard. So quiet and peaceful, yet five minutes from amenities and less than 10 minutes to downtown Bellingham via noncongested city streets. Amazing, clean and well kept hot tub and BBQ were an extra bonus! Thanks for a wonderful stay Emily! We hope to come back soon! ##### Joyce N. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025
