Summary: My wife and I stayed here for two weeks while searching for homes in Bellingham. The space is comfortable and thoughtfully appointed, with two office areas that can easily accommodate remote work. The layout makes sense, so it's easy to get situated. It feels like home away from home.During our stay, we enjoyed multiple deer sightings as they meandered through the neighborhood. Kjerstin and her husband showed great hospitality, giving us insider tips on different areas of Bellingham, as well as dining and activity suggestions.We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future. Highly recommended!

Summary: This completely separate apartment was an absolute treasure to have come across when planning a last minute family trip to Bellingham. The space was clean, modern, complete with any little thing you could possibly need, and happens to be in an incredible area. Kjerstin was very communicative and did whatever necessary to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Would definitely stay here again, no question.

Summary: The property was meticulously organized, with everything in its designated place and clearly labeled. The host demonstrated exceptional hospitality towards my family and me. She went above and beyond to set up for small kids. Her kindness and effective communication were truly commendable.Regrettably, we had to shorten our stay due to the unforeseen discovery of bugs on the mattress in bedroom two on day two. The host responded with great concern and promptly assisted in finding a solution. She even offered an alternative accommodation option while we awaited the resolution.I wholeheartedly appreciated the prompt refund issued. I acknowledge that such occurrences can happen anywhere, and I am confident that with the issue resolved, this location has the potential to provide an exceptional stay.

Summary: This apartment is the perfect place to stay! It was very clean, fresh and comfortable! The kitchen was neat and organized, not full of "cast offs". There were extras that made our stay so nice including a shopping bag, umbrella, lovely bath salts, laundry soap and extra charging cords. The outside area was really great and we used it in the evenings. The owners were super nice and available for our needs. She even sent a text to let us know the Northern Lights were visible. Will definitely stay again!

Summary: The apartment was the perfect spot to call our home base when we came to Bellingham for a family reunion. Kjerstin was very responsive when we couldn't find the coffee filters and ensured we we had some extras immediately. The apartment was very well stocked. I would have given 5 stars, but the bed was not as comfortable for us. It wasn't terrible, but it was hard. It could use a memory foam or other thick mattress pad, which I did notify the host. Otherwise, the apartment was quite comfortable!

Summary: We stayed at the apartment for 5 nights, and enjoyed it very much. The house is in a treed neighborhood and is very quiet and convenient. The apartment is over the garage attached to the house, which makes it even quieter. Getting Downtown or onto I-5 takes about 10 minutes, along Lakeway. The apartment is well outfitted, with all modern appliances and good wifi. Two thumbs up, would stay there again in a heartbeat...
