Comfy bed for better sleep

The room-darkening shades and extra bedding are loved by guests.
The "Aloha Suite" is the name we have given our guest room attached to the south end of our garage. It is a separate building near our home and shop buildings. The room's decor is tropical, with, we hope, the spirit of "aloha" present.

The space
When our home was being built, we lived in the "Aloha Suite", a separate space on the south end of our garage. Since we moved into our home, the suite has been a haven for many guests. In the main room there are: a comfortable Serta queen sized bed, reading chair, small dining table and chairs, bookshelves with reading material of local and travel interest, yoga mat, and TV with Direct TV satellite channels (and instructions), and a Blu-ray player. In the bathroom there is a shower; and towels and robes are provided.
The "kitchenette": This nook in the corner of the main room contains a small refrigerator/freezer, glasses and dishes, basic food preparation items, electric tea kettle, "personal" blender, a choice of two coffee makers, a wide slot toaster, and a microwave. It is not a true kitchen equipped for lots of cooking and dish washing. We are happy to provide the use of our oven and to wash your dishes as needed. There is a laundry sink in the garage for washing large items. We have a barbecue grill on the porch that you may use.
It is possible to move the furniture to accommodate a sleeping pad for another person or a baby bed. On request, we can provide an iron and ironing board. We also have a selection of movies and board games you are welcome to borrow.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire suite, which has its own entrance and key. In addition, on our covered front porch, we have an infrared sauna which you are welcome to use in mild weather. Or, you can just sit in the garden, on the porch, or around the fire bowl patio and relax.

Other things to note
Since the "Aloha Suite" is attached to the garage, you may hear the garage doors opening and closing when we go somewhere. We can let you know when we have to leave early (usually Saturday morning), or come home late if you think the sound may disturb you. (Most people say that it doesn't bother them.)
You might be greeted by our dog Cali, and Jake who lives next door. Both may bark, but they are very friendly!

Neighborhood highlights

We live in a quiet, wooded rural area on a road with five homes and nice neighbors. We do get fog, and animals crossing the roads, so be alert, especially at night. Please look over the detailed instructions to get here, as GPS may not bring you right to our driveway. (Do not stop at the first driveway on the right.) The speed limit on our road is 15 miles per hour. We are a 15-20 minute drive from downtown Bellingham and several other communities-Ferndale, Lynden, Everson, and Deming.

Where I went to school: Oregon State University, Zoology
My work: Airbnb Host
Kerry and I are lifelong residents of the Pacific Northwest. We raised our family here, and enjoy the typical PNW activities: sailing (we have a ketch), hiking, camping with our teardrop trailer, gardening, woodworking, spending time with family, etc. When possible, we enjoy going each winter to Hawaii for a couple of weeks! We are easy to please as guests and accommodating as hosts.
