Tonya, thanks for the review. It is definitely very convenient to have the kids in that separate wing of the house so the adults can have some peace and quiet when they need a break. We’ve found between that and the water activities it keeps them nice and worn out. Please keep us in mind the next time you need a getaway!

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Aug 2023
Thank you for celebrating such a special occasion with us, it was a pleasure to host you and your family. This section of lake would be tricky to have consistent sand on thanks to the large waves generated through the cove from the wake surf boats and the winter winds. Maybe we’ll put in a sand pit above the breaker wall someday!

Lovely home, couple small issues. Overall recommend

Great stay overall! Really beautiful home and property. We would stay here again and recommend to friends. Host communicated well. Only small issues were that there were some sticky spills on the ground when we arrived and 2 of the beds were a bit uncomfortable. The couches however were exceptionally comfortable!

Claire, I wish you had communicated to me these frustrations when your stay commenced, instead of after the fact when I cannot do anything about it to improve your visit. I would’ve dispatched the cleaners to the property immediately, as I have never had negative feedback of this type before. You wrote in your review that I communicated well, so I hope in the future you will reciprocate that to other hosts if issues arise. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Sawyer

Host profile image
I was raised in Bellingham and spent my youth and now adulthood enjoying all the things the Pacific Northwest has to offer. The endless outdoor recreation possibilities are what keep me coming back here time and time again. There’s always something for everyone, and I love being able to share that experience with visitors, friends, and family. I’ve traveled the world, and still maintain there’s nothing like this special corner of our planet.

Why they chose this property

Growing up in Bellingham, I dreamed of one day having a home on Lake Whatcom. The first time I walked in the front door of this property I knew it would be a special place to share with anyone looking to create special memories with a spectacular backdrop.
