Christmas on the lake

We had such a great time at the yellow lake house playing games, cooking and just hanging out enjoying the beautiful view of the lake.

Great lake house

Vintage lake house nicely updated with all of the modern comforts. Good location for visiting North Cascades NP and Mt. Baker. Even better for lake activities.

Family Getaway

Had a great week at this property. The place was super cute and comfortable. Loved the sunrises each morning - just beautiful. The owners were fantastic and super responsive to our questions and needs. Would have given all 5 stars except for the closeness to the road car noise. Would definiately stay again! Thanks for the great week!!

Wonderful lakeside cabin

We keep coming back to this little gem. We paddle around the lake and have our coffee on the covered porch as we watch the sun rise. The hosts are responsive and friendly, the access to the lake is dreamy, the house is comfy and well stocked, and we’ve made the best memories here. Highest recommendation!

Great place

Being right on the lake with a boat dock, it is a great place for bringing your boat. The hosts, Chad and Amanda, were super accommodating,eveng arranging an alternate boat launch ramp when the public one was closed.

Super cute house, right on the lake

For friends and our dogs enjoyed a weekend at the sunshine house. The decor is ridiculously cute and unique. It is obvious the owners have an affinity for antiques. The beds and living room are comfortable. The view is sensational.

Lovely cabin

Surprisingly spacious, charming and well appointed, this cozy cabin had all we needed for our family of 4 and pup. Will possibly try it out in the summer so we can make use of the lake amenities.

Lakefront peaceful getaway

We so enjoyed this property and are thankful that our two small dogs were able to join us. We all loved the large lakefront property and the use of the canoe too. Great location if you are looking for day trips into Bellingham. Comfortable bed and so peaceful we were able to fully unwind quickly. Most likely the cleanest VRBO property we have ever rented.

Slice of heaven

Loved our stay. It’s perfect. I could stay forever. Feels like home. The cottage has everything we need. There’s a little grocery mart if needed just down the road with a great pizza/ pasta next store. The lake is heavenly. So peaceful.

Friend Reunion/Lake Getaway

Perfectly quaint, comfortable and relaxing. Great for our group with kiddos and a furry friend. Excellent communication with the owners. A member of our party left their laptop under a bed. The owners were quick to report back that it was there and work with us to return it. A fantastic stay all around!!

Respite Delivered

Such a charming house. Everything you need with tons of thoughtful touches. After a tough year we badly needed a respite and The Sunshine House was perfect. The star of this house for me is the front porch. Watching the sunrise over the water and sipping coffee in total peace and quiet was heaven. Even my dog seemed shocked by the beauty of it. Thanks again for a wonderful weekend!

Charming place

We enjoyed our stay, whether kayaking, fishing (caught a Bass!), exploring the vicinity (Birch Bay, Whidbey Island, etc.), hiking area trails, or playing Cribbage before bed. But, oh my word! What's with the spiders? I never saw one inside the cabin, but twice found one crawling up my leg - once while relaxing on the dock and once while sitting at the table outside! Too much for this old arachnophobe! After that, we chose to enjoy the outdoors elsewhere. But still, all in all, a peaceful and comfortable place to stay. When we arrived we noticed the stains on the living room rug and the yellow chair, but they were probably a product of several oopses over the course of the whole summer. I loved the new appliances in the kitchen (super quiet dishwasher) and the extra space in the pantry, and even the soft-close drawers! The washer & dryer work super fast, but the dryer buzzer never stops until you open the door. Even the garbage situation and the heating/air conditioning were easy to figure out. I can't stand plastic against my skin in the shower, so we bought two fabric shower curtain liners to hang up with the plastic shower curtain. Worked great! My husband pounded a couple risen nails back into the (original and very cool) hardwood floors, yet I still managed to catch a sliver in my foot one night! Oh well, it's a cabin. Wear flips or slippers! It was just the two of us for most of our vacation (except when mom & friend visited), so we chose the bedroom with the full-sized bed, because of the closet, the bigger dresser, and the proximity to the bathroom. Very comfortable bed! Great nights of sleep! Thanks for providing this charming place!

Great lake front cottage

Cottage was very nice and decorated tastefully. The prime lake front location with private dock was perfect. The large grassy yard was also great for our dogs who were welcomed to stay with us (which was also an added bonus for this lake front cottage). The 1 bathroom is small, so would be a tight fit for a larger group, but otherwise no complaints. We enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful as always!

We've stayed here many times before over the years and we love the house and the location! Right on Lake Whatcom, but feels like it's on a smaller almost private lake, it's always beautiful and relaxing. We will definitely be back!
