You’re 10-15 minutes from world renowned mountain bike trails in Galbraith, Chuckanut, and Sudden Valley. If hiking is your thing you’ve got that too! If water sports are what you’re into, you’re in luck! It was great to have a garage to secure your bikes/outdoor gear in, and the home was spacious and comfortable. Relaxing by the fire pit after adventuring all day was wonderful. If you want to just relax, the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Heated floors in the bathroom were luxurious. Our one regret was we never used the tennis court! We would definitely book here again! ##### Seth K. Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeannie O.

Surrounded on all sides by trees and greenery, the landscaping sets off a wonderland of nature. We had wanted to be by a lake where we could paddle board and kayak, and in addition were able to use the pickleball court that was a part of the property each evening. Mornings were spent drinking coffee on the wraparound deck, and some yoga with a mat that was at the cottage. The cottage itself was beautiful, full of windows and space that made it seem like we were still outdoors. The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked, and we made many of our meals there which were again spent on the deck while we listened to birds. Our hosts were always responsive and helped walk us through things that cropped up. We appreciated their quick communication. We loved it so much that we have already re-booked for the next summer when we are back up in Bellingham. ##### Elisa G. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole B.

The outdoor sports court was a huge hit with our boys and we enjoyed many fun hours of basketball. The only detractor that I would note is that the patio chairs and seating are not usable in their current state, they need a solid pressure washing as there is a layer of winter moss on them. Outside of this, we had a great time and we would stay again. ##### Adam I. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne R.

We stayed in this beautiful lodge for two weeks while visiting family who live nearby. The location is very central and just off the I-5. The land that it is situated on is amazing. You are surrounded by flowers, trees and wildlife. We stayed here as a family of six from the UK. My husband, father-in-law and our three children ages 10, 6 and 2. Two of our children have specialist needs. The highlight of this cottage for us was definitely the tennis/basket ball court, garden and fire pit. The children thrive from the outdoors and here they could enjoy it all but we were reassured by the safety and comfort that the grounds provided. The facilities here were fantastic. The washer and dryer were a godsend. The rooms are spacious, well decorated and clean. Theres a beautiful rustic theme throughout. The fire place warmed up the whole cottage on chilly evenings and the furniture was comfy and cosy. Theres an abundance of blankets, spare bedding, clean towels and everything you need to to enjoy a wonderful holiday. The bathroom is huge with a heated floor and high powered shower. The kitchen has a huge fridge/freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine, huge oven and microwave. There is decking surrounding the whole cottage, with additional dinning areas outside. The owner was kind enough to grant us permission to have family over and enjoy meals together. We used the BBQ a lot! The cottage also has it's own private jetty on Lake Samish just 1 minutes walk away. This was another highlight, especially due to being able to use the owners double kayak. We all had great fun paddling the lake. The lake is calm and quiet with plenty of interesting wildlife. Neighbours are friendly and enjoyable to talk to. Overall this place is an absolute gem. We simply didn't want to leave. We would 100% stay again and would recommend it to anyone, especially those with children. High quality, high standard, fantastic location and brilliant value for money. ##### Chris W. Stayed 14 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon O.

We were in town for a family reunion close by and this couldn’t have fit the bill more. It’s close to Bellingham and right off Lake Samish. They have toys for the lake and for the sport court on the property! Will definitely stay here again :) ##### Shannon O. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristin S. Jul 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Family Reunion Stay Our UK based family stayed at this property with other family staying at the lakeside house across the street. This made for a perfect reunion location with local family providing access to the lake and pickleball amenities. The owners were extremely responsive and accommodating to our needs. We will certainly consider this location in the future if we gather again in the Bellingham area. ##### Kristin S.
