This two-week rental was extremely disappointing and uncomfortable, especially given that it was during the winter holidays. The heater was so loud it caused the entire house to rumble, and although we notified the owners immediately, they did not attempt to fix it for six days. During that time, we had to borrow space heaters from friends just to stay warm.On the second day of our stay, the propane tank ran out, leaving us without hot water for two days. This is completely unacceptable for a winter rental and entirely preventable—no responsible owner should leave a propane tank unfilled for a two-week stay in the dead of winter. We also had to stay at the house to meet the propane delivery driver.To make matters worse, the stove stopped working on Christmas Day.Because of the holidays, we were unable to find another rental in the area and were forced to stay despite the lack of basic necessities. The owners refused to offer any partial refund, claiming the rental was already “58% off” for a long-term stay, even though heat, hot water, and a working stove are fundamental expectations regardless of price. We ultimately had to dispute the charges through Vrbo and received a partial refund that way.This experience caused significant stress during what should have been a relaxing holiday stay. I strongly suggest you do not stay here. The issues we encountered were serious, avoidable, and poorly handled by the owners.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your stay did not meet expectations, particularly during the holiday season. Guest satisfaction is very important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify the steps we took to address your concerns.
Stove: When multiple appliances operate simultaneously, the breaker can occasionally trip. We provided instructions on how to reset it and were not aware the issue persisted until our visit the following morning. At that time, we demonstrated how to reset the panel, and the stove resumed working immediately.
Heater: Early in your stay, you mentioned preferring the fireplace and portable heater over the central system. We have not received heater-related concerns from previous guests and regularly stay in the home ourselves. Upon inspection, we found the vent cover bent and improperly attached, with a foreign object lodged in the fan causing the rattling noise. Once removed, the heater operated normally.
Propane / Hot Water: Propane fuels both the fireplace and hot water in this home and is commonly used in the area. While we communicated that the fireplace is not intended as the primary heat source, heavy use can quickly deplete propane levels. We immediately contacted multiple suppliers and paid for expedited delivery during the holiday period. The tank was filled from 30% to 80%, and remained near full when checked a week later, confirming sufficient capacity under normal use.
For your extended stay, we applied a 58% discount from our standard rate.
Throughout your visit, we responded promptly, communicated transparently, and worked diligently to resolve each concern as quickly as possible given holiday timing and vendor limitations. Additionally, when you explored other rentals, we arranged accommodations next door with full refunds for your remaining days plus two additional discounted days. We understand you chose not to move, and we respect that decision.
We truly regret that these issues disrupted your holiday plans and appreciate your feedback. Please know we are committed to improving and ensuring future guests enjoy a smooth, comfortable experience.
About the host
Hosted by Mina Nguyen
Five years ago, we stepped into a chapter of life none of us could have imagined — the chapter of COVID-19. We were isolated, separated from one another, and distanced from the bustle of daily life. In that quiet, we turned to nature for healing, reflection, and the chance to redesign our lives.
We remember, as the world struggled under the weight of the pandemic, the trees around us stood untouched by fear, their leaves lush, the blossoms vibrant, as if reminding us that life continues, patiently and faithfully. From those days, we came to believe deeply in nature's power to heal.
Throughout our life, we have sought opportunities to help patients and support communities to be their best. We'd like to share our little retreat with the hope that you, too, may find healing, reflection, a sense of self, and moments of peace.
We love to travel, to discover the rhythm of new places, and to experience the heart of each culture. We also cherish art, music, and books. We hope you enjoy your stay with us. We’ve learned so much from our guests and look forward to learning about you as well.
P.S. We have a small art studio. If you are an artist and would like to leave behind a piece of your creativity, just let us know.
Why they chose this property
We were drawn to this neighborhood for its unique balance between quiet seclusion and easy access to everything the region has to offer. Tucked away in a peaceful setting, it feels like a retreat from the busy pace of everyday life. Yet just a short drive away, guests can explore the charm of Bellingham, access the international airport, visit nearby state parks, lakes, farms, Silver Reef Casino Resort, Mt. Baker, or even take a quick trip across the Canadian border. This location makes it possible to enjoy the energy of city life during the day and return to a calm, restful place to unwind in the evening, the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property unique is its peaceful waterfront setting with direct beach access and the rare opportunity to catch both a glimpse of sunrise and sunset from the property. Guests who enjoy the outdoors can spend their time golfing, playing pickleball, swimming at the community pool, or simply relaxing. Manufactured in 1992, the home has been lovingly maintained since the beginning. The original owner cared for it with great attention to detail, and those thoughtful touches remain throughout the house today, giving the space a warm character that guests often notice and appreciate.
