The entire process of renting Emily's home, from start to finish, was smooth and easy. The home was delightful with ample space, comfy beds, and so much wonderful outdoor space (even though the rain and wind kept us indoors quite a bit). We thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities ... outdoor fire pit and s'mores, hot tub with outdoor heater, the k-cups, and oh my ... the cookies!!! Oh yes, and the Christmas tree!

Absolutely fabulous, modern property with casual style equipped with anything you could possibly want and everything done right by it's wonderful host Emily. As 30 year hosts of a VRBO 10 star property ourselves, we left totally impressed and wish we could have stayed longer. This extremely comfortable house is completely immersed in nature, surrounded by enchanting forest and native fauna, complete with the odd deer grazing in the yard. So quiet and peaceful, yet five minutes from amenities and less than 10 minutes to downtown Bellingham via noncongested city streets. Amazing, clean and well kept hot tub and BBQ were an extra bonus! Thanks for a wonderful stay Emily! We hope to come back soon!

Host profile image
Hello! We are a family of four - my husband and I, and our twin boys. For the past two years, we've been on an incredible adventure traveling full-time, exploring new places, and creating unforgettable memories together.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house in 2018 and spent three years remodeling it ourselves. Make sure to check out the Zillow link after booking to see the transformation. Our goal was to build a home we love and can share with our guests while we are traveling the world with our boys.
