Perfect for our group of friends and family to celebrate together. Everyone had enough space. The kitchen worked well for me to make a large meal for 10. Enjoyed the outdoor seating around fire. Grateful to have found this home conveniently located to town

Wonderful place!
This is a great place for a family to stay! 3rd floor game room, lots of board games, records, Tonka Trucks in the back yard, covered propane firepit and fun stuff everywhere in the house. The house is in excellent shape with recently remodeled baths. The host was wonderful and my family had a great time there. Highly recommend this property, especially for a large family.

Lovely spot for b-ham vacay
Had a wonderful stay visiting our college kid. The house is super, very spacious, and especially for families w/kids (ours 10-19), tons of kid/teen friendly stuff to do. This VRBO has all the extra's that make it feel really special -- soap/shampoo/dishwasher and washing machine pods/great coffee options/new plentiful towel supply/welcome gift. Super walkable with great options for coffee/beer/food very close by. Even to central downtown it is less than a mile. John, our host, was super responsive and provided fab recommendations for hiking, beer drinking, ice cream eating, etc -- we did most of them, and they were all enjoyed by our crew.

Beautiful Bellingham
The house comfortably accommodated my family who had gathered to celebrate a landmark birthday. The kitchen is nicely stocked with dishes/pans and the large farm style dining table was perfect for playing games. The owners have a nice assortment of board games and even a record player! The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of pillows, blankets and towels. We had great weather so we gathered around the gas fire pit while the kids played with the assortment of trucks the owners had provided. There is a really nice park just a block away and there are coffee shops within walking distance. The home was very clean. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
