House vacation rentals in Bellingham

A once in a lifetime trip for our family from The Netherlands! We had 6 people come to celebrate my husbands birthday! The house itself is big and beautiful, everyone had their own space. The kitchen is full of all the things you would need, and a delight to cook in. The house is so warm and welcoming, it was easy to feel comfortable. We felt like the house had all the essentials, we didn't need anything that wasn't there and easily found. It was so quiet, it was like being in a wildlife sanctuary! We saw deer, squirrels, and even a bald eagle. The hot tub did not dissapoint and one sister found the steam room a dream. We walked through Whatcom Falls Park, which is literally in the backyard. We could not have asked for a better home, and experience. We spent most of our time together sitting around the lovely dinner table, eating, laughing and just being together. Thank you for sharing your peaceful space with us. We created memories that will last a lifetime.

Fantastic stay! The property was better than described. Immaculately clean, well appointed. Will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic stay and delivered the solitude in nature that I was looking for. It was a great way to experience the San Juans. The view was stunning, the access to the beach was stellar, and one of the best ways to spend a few days relaxing. The loaner vehicle was perfect to get us from dock to house. Reminder, for anyone looking to book this airBNB, please be mindful of what you pack and bring as there is no store to quickly run to if you forgot something. Also, you need to pack out your recyclables & non-compostables. Overall, would stay again and have already recommended it to others as an Eco-friendly vacation destination.

We had a wonderful stay! Lots of space, great kitchen, and wonderful breezes. You can see the tides on the bay. Beautiful! The host was so supportive the whole time and especially when we forgot to pack one cupboard of our food. She had it ready for a relative to pick up for us after we left.

Great spot in a really great location on the island. Navigating the ferry is super easy and getting to Bellingham or up to Vancouver from there is convenient. The farmer's market on Saturday was a nice treat

A lovely two-story guest house in a beautiful setting! The homeowners were nearby and made us feel very welcome. Our group had a wonderful and satisfying stay.

Had the best Mother’s Day weekend retreat with my family at Todd and Lori’s beautiful house. We had so much fun through the weekend because there was so many things to do close by! Would definitely come back here again, thank you Todd and Lori for being so accommodating and welcoming throughout our stay :)

Serene. We spent 3 nights. Lake front boardwalk was a hit with our family as we spent most time there. Place felt even better than how photos looked.

This place felt like an exhale I didn’t know I needed. Surrounded by trees and the sound of the river nearby, it offered space to slow down, to listen inward, to just be. There’s something deeply thoughtful about how this space is held— it’s not just a retreat, but a quiet invitation to return to yourself. I came here craving stillness and left feeling more whole, more grounded, and so grateful for the care woven into every part of this experience. Thank you for creating something so nourishing.

I’m in a long distance relationship and my partner and I like to do airbnbs during his visits here to check out different areas-I knew he would love the accessibility to the trails from Dawns house. My 6yr old son LOVED the downstairs and bunk bed despite how cold it was. The pellet stove was a bit intimidating to figure out so we left it alone. Downstairs did have a bit of a cat pee smell-my kiddo wasn’t bothered because his allergies were so bad he couldn’t smell (not a pet allergy, just the wild cottonwood this year), but it was hard for me to stay down there. The hot tub was an added bonus, it probably could’ve been cleaned a bit better before our stay but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Overall beautiful home and comfortable stay.

Great find! Walking distance to beach and shops. Place was accurately described and had a good outdoor space! Very clean and we enjoyed ourselves.

I spent 4 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The greenhouse is a pleasant and peaceful space to relax. You can hear the train as it crosses multiple times per day, ear plugs helped for sleeping but they also have an ambient noise machine. Nice shower, kitchen area, and other amenities. Ross and Sylvia's put a lot of work into landscaping and were very friendly. I went to Deception Pass (hiking and paddleboarding), Mr T's cafe, Calico bakery, Whidbey Island bagels, and the food co-op and would recommend any of them.

Loved this place! Was a bit concerned about being so close to the ferry but we never heard it. Place was well kept and clean, beds were comfortable too. Amazing view! Incredible beach access! Just a note that, as it’s listed, this place does not have A/C. Downstairs was fine but upstairs can get toasty on warm days, where two of the three bedrooms are. Would definitely go back!!

A beautiful cottage by the sea, with great styling and all the amenities you could ask for, all cleverly hidden away. We opened the door to a beautiful living room, perfect for late night movies, a bottle of wine in the kitchen with any appliance we needed, a spacious shower, and a bedroom with a view right into the water. The hot tub and fireplace were right outside, and the sound of the ocean crashing while relaxing couldn’t be beat. Even though we live just a few minutes up the road, we would consider doing another visit just because of how beautiful the place was and how amazing they were to work with!

Great spot to land for any visit to Bellingham. This home is very comfortable and most everything you need is provided (you will need to bring the sunshine a few days 😉). Easy walk for any last minute staples you need for your stay. Make sure you walk the neighborhood to enjoy the outside gardens surrounding this house. I will keep this unit in my shirt list for future visit. Thanks for the memories.

This is a fantastic little house created with so much love and attention to detail! Autumn was kind and fast to respond. We enjoyed spending rainy mornings and evenings by the fireplace and discovering tons of trails, fantastic views during the day. We would definitely stay again. It was the perfect place for a weekend trip away from the city.

We loved our stay here at Coal Creek Cottage... Kids played, we had a nice walk up the road, loved the Jacuzzi, fire and s'mores... But best of all was the finest kitchen I have ever seen at an Airbnb... It's like they put the best of everything in there, definitely everything you could possibly need and the gas range is pretty awesome... Everything was great and beautiful not a single problem... we will definitely recommend to friends and family.

This is a wonderful home. Our stay was excellent. The host is very communicative and responsive. You will love your stay here.

This place is a gem. The scenery was so beautiful and peaceful. We loved being right on the river and just minutes away from North Cascades. It was everything we were looking for. Will definitely stay here again!

One of the best houses we have ever stayed at. Beautiful, comfortable with an outstanding view. Perfect place to celebrate my birthday with my daughters! It was a glorious weekend! Thank you Lori!

I loved my stay here. It was beautiful. We were three doors down from our friends nice convenient walkable to the beaches to shops. Host was very sweet and got us some batteries and laundry detergent, which she did not have to do.

Well furnished house in a beautiful setting. Access to the dock and lake makes this a great vacation choice. Communication with owner was great. Owner is very respectful of guest privacy.

Peaceful, well equipped home with an insane view! We couldn't believe how beautiful the waterfront view was, even when it was raining. Very quick drive to Deception Pass nearby for the thrilling bridge walk and some nice walks. Easy check in and comfortable, clean space. We loved our stay here.

I really thought that this cabin was very sweet, comfortable, clean, and a wonderful place to stay for my 10 year old son and I on a little weekend vacation. The tall mossy trees surrounding the hot tub were wonderful to be around, and the design and build of the home were fun to appreciate (as someone who has some decent carpentry skills myself). The only two negatives I had were: 1) there were a ton of emails/texts/etc. associated with getting into the place (there's just no need for that much back and forth and checking in for someone like myself who wants to be off the technology as much as possible), and 2) the total cost of $1,000 for two nights felt pretty steep to me, especially when only two people are allowed to stay. In terms of the place itself, though, it was top notch.
