Sunny Lake Whatcom Waterfront Pvt 200' Beach/Dock/Boat Launch/Kayaks

Relax and enjoy spectacular waterfront sunsets year round from our beautiful, peaceful lakefront home. Only 10-15 minutes from Bellingham's core areas, yet a million miles away from the rush of city life. Our home is ideally located on a dead-end road, in a very quiet section of the highly sought-after sunny side of the lake. We enjoy bright sun well into the evening year round. Our home is perched just above the lake at an ideal elevation - high enough to offer an unparalleled, panoramic view of the lake removed from any boat noise, but low enough to be just steps away from our private beach. We have wonderful neighbors, but our property is so private that you may never see them.

Constructed of cedar logs and situated on 1.1 park-like acres with over 200 feet of no bank private water front, our spacious home feels like a resort lodge. The house includes 4 large bedrooms plus a loft, a bright well-equipped kitchen, a large open living area with floor to ceiling windows, a recreation/home theater room, and a large jacuzzi/soaking tub. We can sleep 10 in real beds (4 queens, 1 double). A large dining table just off the kitchen on the expansive deck provides a great spot for alfresco dining. Our study is equipped with a large built-in desk, high speed internet connection and printer. In addition, we have high speed wireless access throughout the house. With lots of southern exposure the house is bright and sunny year round, offering spectacular views from almost every room.

There is no shortage of recreational activities. Two kayaks and a small aluminum fishing boat are available to explore the water in our backyard. If you'd like to bring your own ski boat, we have a dock and one of the few private boat launches on the lake. Our spacious private beach is double the size of most other lakefront properties in the area. It includes a large dock, fire ring, two picnic tables, a BBQ, lots of seating and plenty of space for waterside relaxation and games. As is true with most properties in our section of the lake, the house is set across the road from the beach and at a slight elevation, which affords stellar views, peace and privacy. The beach is just steps across a very low traffic, quiet road and can be accessed via a set of stairs from the house. Those with mobility issues can conveniently drive right up to the beach.

On rainy days, you can choose from a large library, a wide selection of family games, or a home theater room with a 62' television, X-Box 360 and a large collection of video games, Blu-Ray and DVDs. On the main level, the large open living room has a stereo, but no television, and is a great place to curl up with a book by or just enjoy the panoramic view through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

There are many great spots to escape with a good book or just to enjoy the view and the wildlife (eagles, deer, and geese are all frequently sighted). You can also fish from the dock or enjoy a scenic walk on the 3 mile long lakeside trail that starts a short stroll from our home. Keep in shape with a well-equipped home gym (elliptical, recumbent bike, free weights and squat rack). Take a bike ride along the lake. Golf on one of Bellingham's many excellent courses. Ski or snowboard at Mt Baker. Or best yet, simply relax on the expansive deck with family, friends and your beverage of choice. Whatever your interest, there is something here for everyone in every season.

The lake is great
Beautiful location by the lake. Nice dock and access to the lake Spacious We did not realized this before but the road is between the beach and the cottage. You have access to the beach and it is private but across the road. Beds are not firm at all. The arrival process was not smooth as the code for the door did not work- it took an hour for the owner to reply to our message.

Lovely family getaway
The house accommodated all 10 of our family members nicely - lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, plenty of areas for kids and grownups. Large kitchen for cooking up our meals, and space for all at the dining table. Nice large dock so we were able to keep our boat moored there, no need to take it out of the water each day- and appreciated having a launching ramp too. Everyone had a great time! Thank you Jaret - was so nice to meet you during our stay as well.

We Love Lake Life
We had a great visit - 10 of us staying at this house and 5 other family members staying at another rental down the road/lake a few houses/docks down the way. The views were amazing and we loved swimming, boating, and fishing. Fun to have hiking so nearby. We arrived after dark our first night and it was hard to find - try to arrive at this amazing destination in the light of day!

Wonderful Stay Despite Some Flaws
The location and views from this property are stellar! We had 3 couples and the house is very spacious and comfortable. The main living/dining areas offer spectacular views. The house was very clean and functional but there are dated elements, especially in the kitchen. The oven ran at least 50 degrees off, the microwave latch was tricky and wouldn't run sometimes and the bottom drawer of the refrigerator fell out when the door was opened. The beds offer very little support and are very creaky, making a good night's sleep tricky. The listing says there is a launch for jet skis and I told the owner we would be bringing them. Luckily we didn't because the floating dock was pulled up on the land and we wouldn't have been able to launch them. I was told it was pulled up for winter but my understanding was that it would be pulled down by the time we came since it is late spring, I communicated we were planning on using it and was told we could bring the jet skis. Even given these downsides of the interior, we all came for the beautiful outdoors and enjoyed our stay. We couldn't have had a better view and great beach access!

Great for family getaways
This home is very spacious and accommodated the 10 of us very comfortably. It was well equipped and clean. There are a lot of activities available for everyone. We had a little difficulty finding the place (the address must be typed into iPhone maps rather than just clicking on the address) but once there we had the best time! Highly recommend this space for large family gatherings.

The house is located in an incredibly beautiful area. Large windows overlooking the lake are magical. The house was spacious and very clean. Not sure how, but owners have managed to ensure solid sunshine for the entire stay, which I understand is not always the case up there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
