About this property

Cozy cottage nestled along Chuckanut trails close to Fairhaven/Larrabee St. Park

The Chuckanut Trail Studio s a "rustic-chic" retreat literally steps from Bellingham's Interurban Trail & Larrabee State Park. It is conveniently located, on a quiet side street, off scenic Chuckanut Drive, and only a 3.5-mile drive or 20-minute bike ride to the Fairhaven Historic District. Locale specifically offers world class trail access for hiking and biking, boutique shops, galleries, microbreweries, entertainment/music venues, plus interesting farm to table dining options. Located along the desirable south side of Bellingham, it is uniquely positioned close in to town amenities but rural enough to get back to nature along the Chuckanuts or Skagit Valley.

The charming detached, studio cottage, with loft, once an artist retreat, features views of Chuckanut Bay, nestled among Firs & Pacific Madrone trees, with private drive and convenient trail access. It is perfect for a couple’s romantic getaway, or a weekend of outdoor adventures the area is famous for: trail runs, dog walking, hiking Fragrance/Lost Lake, mountain biking the Ridge trail, or exploring the Salish Sea by kayak/boat. Snowboarding/skiing Mt. Baker is just over an hour drive, golf getaways at nearby Lake Padden, or mountain biking Chuckanut or Galbraith literally minutes away, or enjoy our many gastropubs/microbrews or local oysters. It is also a great location for families who are visiting nearby Western Washington University, Chuckanut Trails Studio is your ideal retreat for all seasons!

Coziness and warmth radiate from acacia hardwood floors, knotty cedar ceilings, gas-wood stove, stone and iron accents. Get creative with simple meals in your own gourmet galley, complete with gas cooktop, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, Nespresso, or become a “localvore” at a number of unique eateries, craft markets, or even shellfish farm down the road. Ground level sleeping accommodations include a queen-sized solid oak Murphy bed with high-quality memory foam mattress, flanked with ample storage and pantry. When the bed is retracted, a clever fold down table doubles as dining or workstation in an open floor plan to maximize space. The sitting area features a pull-out couch, bistro style dining table, 42” Smart HD satellite television and high-speed internet. There is also a 75-square foot carpeted open space loft for yoga, relaxation, or reading. There is a single, heated-tiled bathroom with shower. There are two entryways, one through private single car garage (use for vehicle, or additional storage for mountain bikes, kayaks or other "toys") and or a slider that leads to your own outdoor flagstone patio, flanked by local sourced sandstone boulders,

February Getaway

For chilly and rainy February, I can't think of a better place to stay than Chuckanut Trails Studio. One of my favorite areas to hike right off of the property and yet even better a place to relax while staying in a warm and luxurious space. Kudos to our hosts for wonderful accommodations and support.

Fantastic location, view, and hosts!

Ed was a wonderful host, greeting us at check-in with his friendly dog, Chester. The location is unbeatable, just uphill of Chuckanut Drive and on the Inter-Urban Trail with easy access to Larrabee State Park, and just a 10-minute drive from downtown Bellingham. The view of sunsets over Lummi Island are unparalleled. We will definitely stay at the Chuckanut cabin the next time we visit Bellingham!

Lovely modern cabin in the woods

Lots of nice amenities, pretty fancy but still comfy. Can't beat the easy trail access and nearby the ocean beach at the state park a few minutes drive away. Wish we'd had more time to explore area lakes and relax on the litte patio. The upstairs loft is so tranquil with lots of light and windows overlooking the trees. Recommend!

Lovely Studio on Interurban Trail

This wonderfully appointed studio was perfect for the two of us and our small dog. It was private and well-located just steps from the Interurban Trail (great for walking, jogging or bike riding). Ed was a great host and was quick to answer any questions.

Lovely property and great location

The studio is well kept and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we might have needed and then some. The Murphy bed was comfortable but a little noisy. We would stay here again. We didn't get a chance to walk the trails that are basically right outside the door.

Cute studio in great location

My partner and I loved our stay at this cabin. It's in a beautiful location off Chuckanut Drive and easy access to the interurban trail which we really enjoyed - we hiked and biked right from the studio with minimal need for a car. The hosts are communicative and friendly, the VRBO is well stocked, and we appreciated the extra storage space in the garage for our bikes and bike rack. Would highly recommend!

Awesome and Easy

We were in Bellingham to visit family. The directions to get to this place helped immensely since it is secluded and 10 minutes from downtown. Once we got there it was perfect, easy to access and fully appointed with amenities. It made staying there a breeze and pleasant. The owner checked in when we saw him in the distance but also respected our privacy. Overall a great experience.

B'ham revisited

My wife lived in B'ham before I met her and I went to grad school there so we were revisiting the area. The location was great for us and Ed was very personable and made himself available for any questions we had about the place. The place was fully stocked with whatever we needed & we were comfortable for the full extent of our stay. Plan to revisit again. Our sheltie loved the trail availability and felt comfortable monitoring the squirrels and nature around us as well. He gives it 5 paws up.

A perfect weekend escape!

This studio was clean, organized, and had everything we needed for our getaway weekend. The communication with our hosts was excellent. We lucked out with awesome weather to enjoy the endless biking and hiking trails around the area. And we enjoyed superb food at restaurants nearby. The bathroom door was a tad squeaky, but nothing a little DW40 can't fix:) Thanks Ed and Melinda!

Perfect escape

I had an amazing stay here. The hosts were very attentive & graciously left on some extra lights & provided extra instructions for my arrival as I was much later than anticipated. So close to Bellingham but really felt like an unplugged getaway in the Forrest with an amazing peek-a-boo ocean view, spectacular sunsets! I look forward to staying again!

Everything about this sweet place is perfect

Things i now know: Bellingham is a beautiful slice of the world (sunshine helps and we had an abundance of it), this little house is the perfect place for a mini vacation. The owners are very welcoming , the view from the patio(with lovely fire pit) is worth the price of admission, i regret how short our stay was. That’s what i now know!

Great hideaway in the Chuckanut mountains

My wife and I just spent a week here visiting our daughter and this place was fantastic. Ed and Melinda made sure that all the little details were taken care of with many nice amenities to enjoy. The place is exactly what you see and it's location is amazing. Walk out your backyard and you are on the interurban trail that takes you into Bellingham and beyond. The views were priceless. Highly recommend this property if you are going to visit Bellingham and the Chuckanut mountain areas!

Get away

The location is great for mountain biking and spending time at one of the many lakes. The place is very clean. The murphy bed is easy to open and close and allows you to have a larger place during the day. Opening the upstairs windows at night made the house comfortable for sleeping at night. Wish we could have stayed longer.
