Great Stay
The host was so easy to work with. The weather wasn't that great, so we mostly stayed inside-which was okay. The guys loved the pool table, and our 4 year old had so many new toys and books to enjoy. This was the cleanest VRBO we have ever booked. We all want to go back when the weather is warmer.

Fantastic Family House
We had a family get together from the East coast, mid-west and Seattle all meet in Bellingham. It was a great location for all, including the little one (1 year old). House was equipped with toys and a baby gate for the stairs. And the outdoor barbie car was a big hit, for her and the grandparents! The kitchen was a great hangout place for the adults. Good family location. Would like to visit in the summer and use the lake. Would definitely stay again.

Quick trip
The stay was fine, we really just needed a space to have our son and his wife and our grandbaby to come for the day to celebrate Christmas. We were looking forward to a relaxing evening in the hot tub after they left but no such luck, it didn’t work. I also think the cleaning fee is a little high for all the stuff they expect you to do yourself.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Walker

Host profile image
We have been coming to Lake Whatcom with our boats for over 30 years. Lake Whatcom in Bellingham, forms part of the city's eastern border, and is about 14 miles long. Big enough to never tire of a boat ride and always a spot with calm water. Fabulous water sking, boarding or tubing. A lot of people fish, sail boat, parasail... We have towed our boat throughout the Fraser Valley & Interior and always come back to Lake Whatcom. A real paradise.

Why they chose this property

We particularly love the #1 location. We get sun all day long. We look across the lake in early afternoon and see homes in darkness. We are just 10 minutes to town, but away from the hustle and bustle of city life. We have 3 acres to enjoy. We have a wonderful sunny beach, plus trees to shade ourselves. We enjoy our early morning bike rides 1 mile down to Whatcom Park, then 3 miles along the lake trail and back home. Truly fabulous.

What makes this property unique

If you are looking for a new home on a nature filled peace of property with a private beach and boat dock, with loads of parking and a spot to hook a RV trailer or Motorhome, with a fabulous new home, furniture, top of the line linens, fully stocked kitchen, 2 flat screens with cable tv and a pool table, just 12 to 14 minutes to Bellingham and Bellis Fair, 60 minutes to Mt. Baker and famous outlets centres and malls. You just found it. Took us 3 years to find a little bit of heaven.
