Quiet Farm Stay with Hot Tub, Open Skies, and Room to Breathe

Wake up to a quieter kind of morning. The Little Farmhouse is a cozy one-bedroom retreat on our 117-acre working Wagyu farm, made for guests who want a slower pace and a real break from the noise.

Sip something warm on the patio, take a peaceful walk with wide-open views, then end your day with a reserved hot tub soak under the stars. Simple, cozy, and calm, the way a getaway should feel.

Welcome to The Little Farmhouse at Oostema Farmstead, a cozy one-bedroom stay set on our 117-acre Wagyu cattle farm in Lynden, Washington. It’s a great fit if you’re looking for space, calm, and comfort, without the crowds or chaos of hotels.

Out here, mornings start quiet, and somehow your shoulders drop without you even trying.

🌾This is a real working farm, thoughtfully hosted and naturally peaceful, with room to slow down and breathe a little deeper. Feeling tired, leave refreshed.

🛏Inside the Farmhouse:
Warm lighting, soft linens, and a cozy space that feels easy the second you walk in.

• Cozy queen bed with premium linens
• Comfortable living area to read, relax, or just be still
• Full kitchen with essentials for slow breakfasts and simple dinners
• Private bathroom
• Fast WiFi
• No rushing here, just a slower pace.

🍳Full Kitchen + Farm Store Goodies:
The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and cooking essentials.

During your stay, you’re welcome to shop our small on-site farm store for Oostema Wagyu. As a guest, you can also request a private shopping time with Lisa. Grab a cut, then cook it just a few steps from where it was raised. It’s a pretty cool full-circle moment.

♨️ Private Hot Tub (Scheduled Just for You)
Your stay includes access to our guest-only hot tub, open daily from 8am to 9pm.

After booking, you’ll receive a link to reserve your time slot. Scheduling allows each guest dedicated soak time and helps us maintain water quality and safety between uses.

🌿 Outside Is Yours to Enjoy

Start your morning with coffee on the patio and fresh country air. In winter, the farm gets extra quiet, with crisp mornings, soft light, and wide-open views that make you breathe a little deeper.

You may see farm activity or other guests on the property, but it never feels crowded. Everyone has their own space, and the atmosphere stays calm and low-key.

Pet Policy:
We welcome one well-behaved dog under 50 lbs. with prior approval and a pet fee. Dogs must be kept leashed, quiet, off the furniture, and supervised at all times. Please add your pet to the reservation to view the fee and confirm approval.

To Book:
Please include the code word “FARMSTEAD” in your message. This confirms you’ve read the listing in full and agree to the house rules. A short rental agreement may be sent before arrival for your peace of mind.

• Hot tub use is scheduled for dedicated time slots between 8am and 9pm.
• Getting around is easiest by car due to the rural setting.

📍You’ll find us in Lynden, Washington, where the pace slows down and the views stretch for miles. The Little Farmhouse sits on our working farm surrounded by open fields and pastureland, perfect for quiet mornings and sunset evenings.

You’re close to great day trips like Bellingham, Mt. Baker, Nooksack Falls, and the coast, but you’ll come home to real country calm.


We’re Glen and Lisa Oostema, the owners of Oostema Farmstead and Oostema Wagyu. We’re proud to share a small part of our working farm with guests who appreciate quiet, space, and where their food comes from.

Bringing kids along for a special event? We’re usually adults-only, but we do make an exception for school and youth activities. For those trips, we welcome families with children ages 10+ in the Apartment.

Think: basketball tournaments, local youth sports, and other kid-focused events around Northwest Washington (including fun seasonal activities like the fair events).

If you’re not sure your plans qualify, just ask, I’m happy to help you figure it out.
