If you are seeking relaxation in a beautiful area close to all adventures then this is your VRBO. Cindy’s home was breath taking and we will be back. The home had everything you could imagine, the fireplaces were wonderful, the view, reading my book down by the lake was the most relaxed I’ve been in a while. Plenty of room for two people up to eight. Thank you again Cindy for sharing your beautiful home.

Fantastic week at this beautiful, clean, perfectly located home away from home! Everything is exactly as described/shown in the photos. More than enough space for our group of 5 adults and 2 dogs. We thoroughly enjoyed the spacious outdoor patio! Spent our days on the dock enjoying the floating water mat and paddle boards available for our use! Lake was great for swimming! Never know what to expect (if there will be too many weeds for swimming around the dock etc) but this was not an issue at all. Owner is very accessible and helpful! Would not hesitate to recommend and we hope to return!

Perfect Lake Whatcom getaway

This property is exactly as the pictures describe. We had two young girls (ages 4 and 2) and there is a lot of activities for them. Playground equipment, outside toys inside toys water toys. For the adults: outside fireplace, hot tub, boat dock and super cool paddle boat. There's always that family member that wants screens - and there are large screen TV's outside and inside. Very well maintained property and owner was easy to work with - Highly recommmend if you want a stay at the lake!

2025 Family Outing

Every year our family rents a VRBO for a family weekend in lieu of birthday presents. We have a weekend of food, fun and laughter. Or family consists of six adults and two grandsons almost 13 and almost 17. We center our weekends around water sports such as fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and RC boats. The house at Lake Whatcom was perfect! For the first time the house and location were better than the picture description. A beautiful home that was spotless. We very much enjoyed the wood working skills that were evident everywhere. The outdoor patio was equally as beautiful as the house. The ground were immaculate.Then there was the beach area. It was perfect for our family. A great variety of beach toys and a great protected cove for RC boats.We hope to visit here again!!

Beautiful Lakefront Home

I originally booked this place because my grandson is really into fishing and this place is right on Lake Whatcom with a private dock, so it seemed ideal. There were also paddle boards and a paddle boat and I was looking forward to using both. If only the weather had cooperated. We had one sunny day (our first) and then a lot of wind and rain. My kids and grandkids did get out on the lake that first day. My grandson fished every day but did not get one fish. However, all that was OK because just sitting out on the deck off the living room was something I could do all day and night. We all took turns in the hot tub and had many poker and pool tournaments. The house is so beautiful inside and out and is on a huge piece of property. We would love to come back in the summer.
