The living room window frames Lake Whatcom like it was designed for it — and the view changes all day. Morning brings soft light on the water. By evening, the lake goes gold and the group migrates out to the fire table to watch it happen.
The Space
The house sits on the hillside above the lake with full southern exposure, so light pours in across the open main floor. Five bedrooms and 5.5 baths mean ten people can share the house without anyone waiting on a bathroom or bumping into each other in the hall.
The kitchen is built for groups — gas range, fully stocked, enough counter space that two or three people can cook at once without getting in each other’s way. The dining room has a gas fireplace and the living room has one too, so on cooler nights both spaces stay cozy and warm.
When the group wants to split up, there’s room for it. A media room handles movie nights. The game room keeps people occupied. The large fenced backyard gives dogs and kids somewhere to go. And when everyone’s ready to reconvene, the fire table out front tends to pull people back together.
The Lake
Beach access is a short walk down from the house — shared with the nearest neighbors, this stretch of shore is quieter and less developed than other parts of the lake. Lake Whatcom Park is about two miles away, with two trails: one that runs gently along the waterline and one that climbs for views from above.
Good to Know
Self check-in via keypad — no waiting around for anyone. Pets welcome. Two garage parking spaces plus a large driveway.
One honest note: the road up to the house from the lake is steep. In winter, if there’s ice or snow that makes it unsafe to get in, we’ll refund you fully. We’d rather tell you upfront than have you find out on arrival.
