Sunny Lake Whatcom Waterfront Pvt 200' Beach/Dock/Boat Launch/Kayaks/SUP/Hot Tub

Relax and enjoy spectacular waterfront sunsets year round from our beautiful, peaceful lakefront home. Only 10-15 minutes from Bellingham's core areas, yet a million miles away from the rush of city life. Our home is ideally located on a dead-end road, in a very quiet section of the highly sought-after sunny side of the lake. We enjoy bright sun well into the evening year round. Our home is perched just above the lake at an ideal elevation - high enough to offer an unparalleled, panoramic view of the lake removed from any boat noise, but low enough to be just steps away from our private beach. We have wonderful neighbors, but our property is so private that you may never see them.

Constructed of cedar logs and situated on 1.1 park-like acres with over 200 feet of no bank private water front, our spacious home feels like a resort lodge. The house includes 4 large bedrooms plus a loft, a bright well-equipped kitchen, a large open living area with floor to ceiling windows, a recreation/home theater room, and a large jacuzzi/soaking tub. We can sleep 10 in real beds (4 queens, 1 double). A large dining table just off the kitchen on the expansive deck provides a great spot for alfresco dining. Our study is equipped with a large built-in desk, high speed internet connection and printer. In addition, we have high speed wireless access throughout the house. With lots of southern exposure the house is bright and sunny year round, offering spectacular views from almost every room.

There is no shortage of recreational activities. Two kayaks and a small aluminum fishing boat are available to explore the water in our backyard. If you'd like to bring your own ski boat, we have a dock and one of the few private boat launches on the lake. Our spacious private beach is double the size of most other lakefront properties in the area. It includes a large dock, fire ring, two picnic tables, a BBQ, lots of seating and plenty of space for waterside relaxation and games. As is true with most properties in our section of the lake, the house is set across the road from the beach and at a slight elevation, which affords stellar views, peace and privacy. The beach is just steps across a very low traffic, quiet road and can be accessed via a set of stairs from the house. Those with mobility issues can conveniently drive right up to the beach.

On rainy days, you can choose from a large library, a wide selection of family games, or a home theater room with a 62' television, X-Box 360 and a large collection of video games, Blu-Ray and DVDs. On the main level, the large open living room has a stereo, but no television, and is a great place to curl up with a book by or just enjoy the panoramic view through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

There are many great spots to escape with a good book or just to enjoy the view and the wildlife (eagles, deer, and geese are all frequently sighted). You can also fish from the dock or enjoy a scenic walk on the 3 mile long lakeside trail that starts a short stroll from our home. Keep in shape with a well-equipped home gym (elliptical, recumbent bike, and free weights). Take a bike ride along the lake. Golf on one of Bellingham's many excellent courses. Ski or snowboard at Mt Baker. Or best yet, simply relax on the expansive deck with family, friends and your beverage of choice. Whatever your interest, there is something here for everyone in every season.

Beautiful home but missing amenities
We enjoyed our stay in this property. However, upon arrival we discovered that the hot tub was not functional. It would have been nice to enjoy the fireplace but that too was not working. TV not working.

Great lakeside getaway
Kerrie and Jaret’s home was beautiful with tons of natural light and wood. The kitchen was well appointed for our various cooking needs. The lake was easy to access from the house and we were very comfortable during our stay.

Right on the lake, but still close to town and all the mountain biking you could ever ask for. The owners were very friendly, yet very respectful of your privacy. We had a great time. 6 of us stayed with plenty of room for more.

Great for family getaways
This home is very spacious and accommodated the 10 of us very comfortably. It was well equipped and clean. There are a lot of activities available for everyone. We had a little difficulty finding the place (the address must be typed into iPhone maps rather than just clicking on the address) but once there we had the best time! Highly recommend this space for large family gatherings.

Wonderful time at lake Whatcon
The house is located in an incredibly beautiful area. Large windows overlooking the lake are magical. The house was spacious and very clean. Not sure how, but owners have managed to ensure solid sunshine for the entire stay, which I understand is not always the case up there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This beautiful house is the perfect central location, balanced between fun in-town activities in Bellingham and Fairhaven and the stunning hiking opportunities of Mt. Baker. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked, and the view of the lake lovely. A few small maintenance issues but our host was responsive and helpful. Highly recommend and looking forward to returning!
