Great place for family visit
Visited some family in the area and the space was spacious and had a great play area outside as well as kid friendly inside. It's more rural than downtown Bellingham and had lots of grassy area for our kids to run around and even some blackberry bushes that we picked some fresh berries from. We were able to have our family over for dinner while visiting because of the wonderful huge table and the nice open living/dining area. This was a great option for us.
