Tucked into an evergreen grove within the lakeside community of Sudden Valley, this woodland property is a place for families, golfers, tennis players, and watersports enthusiasts to feel at home. Enjoy all sorts of HOA amenities and two levels of beautiful deck space to come home to each day.

As part of the Sudden Valley HOA on the western shores of Lake Whatcom, this two-story home enjoys access to facilities throughout the community. There's an 18-hole golf course designed by Ted Robinson (with the front nine on the lakeshore, the back nine in the wooded hills), a marina on the lake, five tennis courts, a basketball court, several parks, a library, and miles of hiking trails along the lake and up in the woods. Downtown Bellingham is just nine miles west.

You'll begin and end most days outdoors, breathing in the fresh forest air on one of the decks. There's plenty of space for sipping morning coffee, barbecuing in the afternoons, and dining at sunset with the sunlight filtering through the trees.

The main living spaces are on the upper of the two floors, with views of the woods framed by rear walls of glass. Enjoy an elegant kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a formal dining room with a live-edge table, and a living room with a TV to watch in the warmth of the fireplace. Families with children will feel incredibly welcome, thanks to the playroom full of toys (and even an indoor ropes gym) downstairs.

Of the bedrooms, one is on the main floor, offering a desk workspace. The downstairs primary suite has deck access, as is a kids' room stocked with books, toys, and games. Central air-conditioning, a washer/dryer, and complimentary WiFi are also provided.

Great home!
The home was spacious and clean. The surrounding area was beautiful and peaceful. Our kids really enjoyed the play room and all the toys. Probably one of the only homes we've stayed at that is very accommodating for kids. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Bellingham Christmas 2023
Our family stayed over Christmas. It is a very nice place, clean and as advertised. We would have liked to see a few more everyday items for use in the kitchen though. Most items are there except for things like serving bowls, additional spatulas, stirring spoons, etc. It made preparing and serving Christmas dinner a little more inventive. Otherwise, a very nice stay.

Wonderful home perched in the woods
Lovely home! The primary bath was a dream, and plenty of space for everyone. Sparkling clean, and Dove toiletries were appreciated. Primary bed was extra firm, and TV wasn't very workable (no volume control), but the soaking tub and forest setting were dreamy. The 10am check out time is early for a rental stay (standard is 11), so be aware when planning your weekend. Overall, a very nice stay for the family.
