Gorgeously situated on the eastern shores of Lake Whatcom, this two-bedroom home in Bellingham is full of breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. In this quintessential Pacific Northwest setting, you'll have a private dock on the lake, a small beach to yourselves, and an outdoor firepit at the water's edge. This house is close to Chuckanut Drive, a beautiful coastal drive that passes multiple state parks and hiking and mountain biking trails.

Take the ramp or the small staircase to enter this lakefront home, where an open floor plan will greet you, along with exposed beam ceilings and plentiful windows framing the lake. The living room is both bright and cozy, offering an overstuffed sofa and armchairs, a wood-burning stove, and a TV and DVD player, with both streaming capability and a DVD library for your viewing pleasure.

Prepare breakfast with a view each morning in the well-appointed kitchen with butcher-block countertops, and eat at the spacious farm table or outside on the covered deck. In the day ahead, you can swim from the dock or the private beach, whip up a barbecue lunch on the gas grill, and share s'mores and stories around the firepit. A washer/dryer is provided to refresh your swimsuits and beach towels each evening.

On arrival, we received a text requesting we rate the cleanliness of the property. We gave it "3" (of 5) due to dark hairs in the shower and bathroom sink. Later, we noticed the area under the dining room table needed to be swept or damp mopped as there was dust and debris evident. The queen bed was too firm for our taste. Lots of dust under the bed. The shower head could use an upgrade. Otherwise, a delightfully quiet and serene location on a lovely lake. All appliances worked, windows opened, doors locked and heat pump worked flawlessly. If we return we'll bring an extra pad for the queen bed.
