We really enjoyed our stay over the Christmas holidays. It was a very special touch that they had a tree there that was decorated. The house has some really nice updates. The bedrooms have very little space to unpack and hold our stuff. But we were not there very much. The beds were very comfortable. It was pretty chilly during the time we were there. The house has some lovely floor ceiling windows, and it was difficult for us to get the house warm. But there were plenty of blankets to use.The hot tub was also a great addition, even in the cold weather. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also appreciated the little treats that they left for us. We would recommend this house to stay in.

This was a charming home. It's on a steep hillside as is the whole neighborhood. Nice amenities, including a heated master bath floor, which was really nice. Hosts put out a tray of snacks and even dog treats, and provided good communication and information. Plenty of warm throws to snuggle in. Lots of outdoor decking and a hot tub but due to weather we weren't able to use much of that. Lots of stairs so be aware if that is an issue. Very nice place!!

We had a very enjoyable week at this property. Beds are very comfortable and area is quiet at night. It’s 25-30 minutes from town so you need to stock up on your way there. There is one small pizza/Italian restaurant close by and the food is good. The property is a bit unusual in that the main entrance opens directly into the bedroom. There is another way in and out but you do need to enter through the bedroom if the house is locked. Hot tub is a great feature and there is plenty of outdoor seating.

Great house in beautiful location

We loved staying here! It is so peaceful and lovely. The house is cute and well-appointed, we had everything we needed. My partner loved playing the guitar the owners kindly provide and we enjoyed sitting outside on the deck at dusk and watching the lake. The master bed and living room couch were both comfy.

Wonderful family retreat location and gorgeous property! We recently stayed here for our daughter's WWU graduation. Worth every penny! All of the extra's you could ever want or need. We regularly enjoyed the hot tub, and family visits around the outdoor fire pit. The environment was so peaceful (while also being a short drive away from town). To see deer walking up the driveway in the morning as I had my coffee out on the front deck while listening to the birds chirp was priceless. Plenty of room, games, fun popcorn popper, bbq, etc. etc.! Host was very responsive anytime I had a question both before our trip and during our stay. Highly recommend and we hope to stay here in the future the next time we visit BHAM.

Lovely Short Stay, Could Easily Use for Longer Stays

We really enjoyed our stay at the home, and I'd happily book it again.The location was lovely, comfortable, and worked for what we were seeking, with easy access to both town and a variety of dog-friendly hikes. We were particularly impressed with how well supplied the kitchen was, and with the enclosed dog run. The was also a generous welcoming basket.The hillside construction allows for a lovely view of the lake, and a layout that allows people to find their own space in the house. It also means lots of stairs, which may not be suitable for people with very young children or other mobility limitations.

Perfect location for all of the day trips we made. The owners were wonderful and very helpful when our daughter left something in the house after checking out. One for the memory books!

Great hot tub!

The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. Their place was perfect for a galpal weekend away. Kitchen was well stocked, nice layout, hot tub was great (clean and hot), plenty of space to relax and take in the view of the lake. We had a wonderful lunch at Cosmo's in town. We'll definitely be back. I also liked that they didn't overcharge for cleaning, fees, etc...

Great time had by all

We were looking for a getaway for the long weekend and stumbled upon this little gem. We booked it last minute and found Owen very helpful and responsive, before and during our stay. It was a typical pacific northwest weekend, so we didn't make as much use of the decks as we might have but we made more than enough use of the hot tub. The location is great as you are just far enough out of town to feel like you are in the middle of nowhere and close enough that you don't feel like it is a pain to go into to if you forgot something. We will for sure return for another stay and would recommend it to all our friends.
