We had a very relaxing stay. The little house was decorated so perfectly...attention to detail, for sure! The bed and bedding was very comfortable. The location was close to shopping and restaurants. We would definitely stay there again.

Couldn't have been more perfect...

This place was the centerpiece for a truly inspirational trip. Upon entering the little farmhouse, just struck by how incredibly well prepared the decor and welcome kit was. This place has clearly been renovated from shingle to footing leaving the most endearing hardware while retrofitting with the most contemporary and bright everything. Just the perfect place to return to after a hard day mountain biking and swimming. We are truly appreciative of the experience. Cheers!

Busy traffic road

Busy traffic road with semi-trucks passing in front of the property 24 hours nonstop spoiled our enjoyment of this otherwise charming farmhouse.

Already want to come back

By far our favorite air b&b we have had the opportunity to stay out. The design is so beautiful and homey. Clean and comfortable and super easy access coming and going. We enjoyed the local recommendations as well :)

Picture Perfect!

We were in town for a wedding near Lake Whatcom. Since the wedding was at the bride's house, she wanted to stay at an airbnb leading up to the wedding so she didn't have to be home at the venue where all the work had to be done. This house was the perfect location to get away and relax during the two nights leading up to the big day. The house was so perfect, we asked the host if we could extend our check out time from 11am to 2pm instead and have the bride and a couple friends/mom get ready for the wedding there. The photographer met us there and the pictures getting ready in the farmhouse are absolutely beautiful. It was the bride's style in taste and picture perfect!!!

Nice house, basic kitchen

The house is pleasant, but the kitchen lacks a few things, notably a microwave oven and a coffee maker big enough to make more than 2 cups.

Cute urban farmhouse!!

Very clean and comfortable. Beds were very comfy. Nice table space for eating or just playing games with family. Many positive details. I'd go back in a heartbeat. A couple of things to think about might be some out door chairs for the deck and an iron and ironing board.

Perfect blend of old and new!

Despite many visits to the area before we had never been to this part of B'ham before. Quiet, verdant land and then this adorable farmhouse! Everything was sparkling clean and fresh! We loved the decor, the black, white and gray with old wood color scheme ! The calming feel of the bedrooms and the modern kitchen! Everything was compact and yet plenty of room for 6! Loved the toiletries in the bath, and the snacks that were left for us. Would have enjoyed a table/chairs outside on the nice deck but hopefully that's coming soon?! Overall a really lovely spot for a few days stay in Bellingham!
