Super nice vacation spot

Check in and out was easy. Super big private spot. Had a wonderful time on a mini vacation in Bellingham. Was super irritated at first cuz Media room didn't work. After I got some rest I figured it out. The media room was super awesome. Got to watch movies on a big private theatre. Best part was relaxing during a cold night in the hot tub. Will definitely want this place again if I come to Bellingham

Perfect oasis away from home

The location, peacefulness, and things to do for everyone (including the large off leash dog area and theatre room) was awesome and made the trip away from home absolutely wonderful. Wish we could have stayed longer but will definitely be staying again! The response from the host was timely and very gracious.Thank you!

Just as Advertised

Extremely nice place loaded with amenities! Views are gorgeous and the golf course and lake are amazing. We travel with our dogs and loved having the off leash area so close, not to mention all the hiking areas too. We loved our stay and will book again when we head back to Bellingham.

Everything someone could ask for!

I wish I could have stayed longer. A beautiful house and a beautiful setting, had everything we needed for our quick overnight. Easy check-in. Everything was super clean, the hot tub was ready to go, and the movie theater was super cozy. The host was very responsive when questions came up. Would definitely return for a longer stay next time.

perfect spot for a girls night in!

A group of us Moms (4 of us) booked this home for a girls night and we had the best time! It was such a nice place, beautiful view and had plenty of room for us. It was dumping rain so we didn't use the hot tub (one friend did jump in briefly in the morning), but having it was one of the reasons we chose this home. The media room was to die for, and we enjoyed cozying up for a movie night after talking for hours in the comfy living room. Great hostess, I will be keeping this in mind for any future getaways!

Summer Stay

Beautiful and relaxing. Two words that describe completely this delightful home. Morning coffee on the patio overlooking a gorgeous golf course and serene lake. We also enjoyed the wonderful movie theater where we gathered as a family to watch the latest features. We could not have imagined a more perfect getaway. A sincere thank you to the friendly hosts for their hospitality and opening up their beautiful home for us to enjoy.

Spectacular!!!

This is everything you would want in a place to stay. Not only was it everything that was promised, but unexpected details were a great surprise. Like the retro sit and spin for the grand kids, along with numerous other great toys they could play with and help them feel at home. Can’t wait to return!!

Great Family Reunion!

The rental property is located on the golf course with lake view and just a short walk to the lakes shore, swings, dog park and boat ramp. It dog heaven down there! Great roped area for swimming. The property is the lower part of a very large house. Separate entrance from the upper rental. Hot tub was great! Best for small family or small group that isn’t planning on cooking a lot, as the fridge, stove and cooktop are small. Theater room is cool! Guests can use the community pool but it does cost a small day fee. You must bring your own towel. The owner is very Friendly and communicative! We would love to return and stay longer.

Sudden Valley summer - golf course

I think it is important for the renters to know is that the renting portion of the house is actually a basement. The site shows and picture of the whole house and refers to 5000 sf, but the owner stays on the first level and the bottom partly in the ground portion of the house is being rented. there is no AC and I felt the house is overpriced and left a day early. The location is really nice.

Bellingham Visit

The property was awesome - right on the golf course, close to downtown Bellingham. The only real problem was lack of communication of where the key was located, no book or instructions on the internet/Wi-Fi connection, how to work the lights in the house (very state-of-the-art system), & what we must do on departure?? Typical guidance that is usually available. Even though The owner lived in the upper level of the house, we did not make contact. I could not get into my VRBO app because I forgot my password & could not get good Wi-Fi reception on my phone. So we made do, had a great visit w/my granddaughter who goes to WWU, & would love to stay at house again w/more communication, which could be my fault as much as anyone else!

Misrepresentation

Please be aware of this property. Make sure to get claim insurance because this owner claims damage when the property was already damaged upon arrival. Hot tub is not covered Gym equipment doesn’t work only the elliptical Only a hot plate so don’t plan on cooking big meals for family. Dog barking upstairs and owner in and out blocking the driveway so you can’t load or unload your belongings. A very steep driveway to walk down to get to their basement. The owner claimed damage so beware and we did nit even use the treadmill other than turn it on because it wouldn’t work. I am sad that there is no honesty in rentals anymore. Even after leaving the property cleaner than when we arrived. I have used VRBO for years and this is the first time I have been disappointed in the ownership of this property. I hope I am heard so that you can tread lightly or not at all with false claims and dishonesty. Sincerely, Danielle

A Real Gem

We are a Grandma and Grandpa (70ish) with two grandkids (11 and 15) and a dog. I started looking for a place to get away on the Thursday before Memorial Day weekend (three nights). I found this place and was able to rent it starting the following day. Thank you, Nicole. As with any vacation rental, there were pros and cons. First the good. My son and his wife and baby daughter and dog joined us for our last night. This place accommodated all of us with no trouble. The patio overlooking the golf course was perfect. There is a large table with chairs, a couch and chairs around a lovely firepit, a grill, and a hot tub that was all fired up and ready for us. We ate all of our meals out there. The movie room was an incredible bonus. Even our one day of rain didn't keep us from walking to the marina and park. The not-so-good: This is a daylight basement apartment. The walkway down (not stairs) is steep. My legs were sore the day after we returned home, but that's a good thing! If you have mobility issues, this is not the place for you. The kitchen is challenging. Because of the pictures and description from Nicole, and a review from one disgruntled renter, I came prepared for this. Countertop space and a small sink were my biggest issues. There is an extra room/office that I used as an extension of the kitchen. Since there was no space for stacking dirty dishes next to the sink, I bought some paper plates and cups. Between the grill and the hot plate, I was able to cook some fabulous meals. We would love to come back again.

This property is very comfortable. We had an issue which the owners fixed promptly. Overall, an excellent experience. The media room was a hit with us. We would consider staying here again. minus 1 star for safety concerns. The walk around the house to the back of the house is a little steep. For someone over 60, this felt treacherous especially when carrying bags. A handrail would greatly improve this. There are also no rails for entering the showers and no anti slip mats in the showers. The 8 AM gardening session was not appreciated.

Loved it!

I booked a last-minute getaway here for my family of 5 over Labor Day weekend. We had a lovely time. The is plenty to do for all ages - so much that we didn’t get to it all. The lake access is very convenient for taking paddleboards out and we were pleasantly surprised to discover several outstanding restaurants in the area. The theater and hot tub provided excellent entertainment when the weather wasn’t great and we wanted to stay in. We hope to come back again very soon!

The Sudden Valley community is like living on a resort, offering the most amazing amenities a community has to offer. Starting with a large recreational and activities center, a library, fitness center, two large community pools (one of the pools is for adults only), four beaches, marina, three picnic areas, two dog parks, four tennis courts, pickle ball court, basketball court, volleyball court, soccer court and baseball diamond. Not to mention the most beautiful, scenic and challenging golf course in the Pacific Northwest.
