This spot was great, we loved the balcony and the lake access. It was fun that they had so many board games and floaties and kayaks. Only downsides is that the dishwasher and kitchen light don’t work. But we made do! Fun weekend!

Kitchen was fully equipped. Deck was very pleasant to sit and listen to birds and enjoy your coffee. Lake was closed for fishing which was not what we thought so we went to a different lake for our fishing. Lots of stairs up to residence.

Great location, and nice decks and porches to enjoy the lake view. Comfortable beds, and well equipped kitchen. Very responsive owners when we had questions or any issues. It is an older property, with a few things that need fixing (and owners said they are working on them) - kitchen overhead lights not working, and a faulty septic alarm. Upstair loft has small bathroom (watch your head!) but very convenient, and also a nice deck and a working PacMan video kiosk! Fairly convenient to Bellingham, yet you feel like you are out in the woods on a quiet lake. If you are in the upstairs unit (like we were) be ready for a lot of stairs to get up to the unit (good exercise). Tight parking out front, but it worked. We didn't have time to use the kayaks, but it looked easy to get them out on the lake, and it would have been fun.

Perfect stay! Property was everything we had hoped it would be and had everything we needed. Close enough to hiking and exploring, but also nice and secluded to spend our afternoons hanging out at the lake! The kids loved the inflatables and kayaking.

Loved our stay

We rented both units for our multi-generational family group for 2 nights in April. Had the most beautiful weather and enjoyed all the lake activities (boating, fishing, etc.). We would love to come back again!
