Wonderful cabin close to the water
The cabin was extremely clean and very comfortable. It had a nice yard to take our small pups out to. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the dark night sky, and the coolness of being near the water. The location was great for exploring the area. We definitely recommend this cabin.

Really cute and comfy cabin
Nice updates and cute decor. Very clean. Fire pit in front yard and BBQ on the deck. Only a short walk/drive to the water and ferry dock. The owner made a special effort to provide a DVD player for us. My only criticism would be that the kitchen could use more pots, pans, baking dish, and collander for preparing meals.

Great little getaway
Everything we needed. This place exceeded our expectations. We rent alot, rarely use hotels, I cant say enough about how sweet this little cabin is. Nice size everything, once you open the door you feel at home. Got to meet Greg, real nice guy. We will definitely rent this Gem again. Clean, organized and cozy.

Great little house!
A perfect cozy little cabin with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. Kitchen is well equipped, the fireplace keeps things nice and warm and the beds are comfortable. Only concern was that the neighborhood is a bit rustic, but not a real worry - there's a nice beach a short walk away.

Our plans changed and We asked to modify the reservation as we would only need to stay 1 night. Owner said yes no issues, but then told VRBO he changed his mind after not responding for 12 hours to any calls or messages from me. We have the texts to prove this. Property is in the middle of abandoned/boarded up houses and vehicle junkyards. Not in a safe or welcoming area. Would not recommend. We never went in to the property. Ended up staying elsewhere as we did not feel safe after we drove to the property.

Family wedding weekend
Cabin is great. Very clean. Kitchen is nice. Bedrooms are comfortable. Place is dog friendly with a "fenced" back yard but i would not put my dog back there. Yard in general could use some TLC. Neighborhood isnt well kept, although it is a short walk to the beach. Owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Peaceful Getaway
We chose to stay here as part of a bigger trip for our son's college visitations. This cabin is about 25 minutes outside of Bellingham. For us, it created a perfect combination of a city experience in Bellingham and a quiet getaway for mornings and evenings. My husband and I sat on the deck with our coffee each morning and enjoyed all of the bird life that surrounded us...eagles, herons, swallows and gulls. It was really beautiful, and since the cabin is situated within Lummi Nation, I appreciated seeing firsthand how members are supporting each other and the casino seems to be generating wealth for the tribe.

I’d rent it again
The property itself is solid, clean & very comfortable. The kitchen has full sets of pots & pans, dishes & silverware. The rooms have nice pillows & beds, there were plenty of towels also. The fireplace took the morning chill off perfectly. My young grandchildren and i had a great time at a nearby beach, throwing rocks and looking for shells & agates. When we were at home, it was quiet and very relaxing. A nearby property sports a heck of a junkyard with tons of cars and isn’t pleasant to pass by, but other than that, zero complaints. I’d rent it again!

A cozy cabin near the beach
The cabin worked really well for my wife and 17 month old daughter when we were having work done on our house. My wife said they enjoyed walking the beach and visiting nearby parks in Ferndale. This cabin was just what we needed, thank you!

NOTHING LIKE ADVERTISED
First of all, the pictures were not accurate. The house was worn down, the deck was dilapidated and dangerous. No chairs for sitting on the deck. REALLY BAD AREA! Looked like the "hood". Abandoned cars everywhere. Scary, actually. I recommend staying at the Silver Reef Hotel if you want to stay in that area. I am really disappointed with the homes condition and the area as well. I will never use VRBO again. You never know what you are going to get and the owners of these properties don't appear to be honest. Waste of money, honestly.

The home offered everything we needed, but the neighborhood is not great. Communication was great.
We probably wouldn’t stay again because the property was further out from Bellingham than we would have liked.

Lovely cabin near the Lummi Island Ferry. You cant see the water from the cabin but it is a very short walk to the beach. The cabin is homey, well mantained, and very relaxing. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I saw a previous review that complained about the neighbors, but we had zero problems. Very quite.

High school reunion.
While there could be a guard rail on the steps to haul our old bones up. The building itself was beautiful. Furnishings and beds were beyond comfortable. I would be tempted to buy it if it was for sale. Wish we could see the water from the cabin. But it was close by. Weather was great friends were great And we had a really good time @
