Lake Whatcom Beachfront Villa: Lakefront Luxury w/ Dock & Hot Tub
Welcome to Lake Whatcom Beachfront Villa by Gather, an exquisite four-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom waterfront sanctuary nestled along the serene shores of Lake Whatcom in Bellingham, Washington. This luxurious residence comfortably accommodates up to eight guests, offering a harmonious blend of modern elegance and natural beauty for an unforgettable Pacific Northwest escape.
What We Love About Lake Whatcom Beachfront Villa by Gather: Private Waterfront Access: Enjoy exclusive entry to a secluded beach and private dock, perfect for swimming, boating, or simply relishing the tranquil lake vistas. Outdoor Oasis: Unwind in the inviting hot tub, gather around the gas firepit with ample seating, or dine al fresco using the propane BBQ on the expansive outdoor patios, all while immersed in the property's lush, private surroundings. Luxurious Suites: Four thoughtfully designed suites, including a secluded primary suite upstairs with dual bathrooms, ensure privacy and comfort for all guests. Entertainment Hub: The game and recreation room features a Peloton bike, air hockey table, and cornhole set, providing diverse indoor entertainment options for guests of all ages. Proximity to Attractions: Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Bellingham International Airport (BLI) and 15 minutes from downtown Bellingham's vibrant restaurants, markets, and shopping centers like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby mountain biking and hiking trails at Galbraith and Stuart Mountains.
Upon entering, you're welcomed into an open-concept living space bathed in natural light, with panoramic lake views creating a serene backdrop. The living room features plush seating arranged around a modern gas fireplace and a large flat-screen TV, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and socializing. Adjacent to the living area, the dining space boasts a stylish table with seating for eight, set beneath an elegant light fixture that enhances the room's warm ambiance.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, including a double-door refrigerator, gas range, and built-in microwave. Sleek granite countertops provide ample workspace, while custom cabinetry offers plenty of storage. A spacious island with barstool seating for four serves as both a prep area and a casual dining spot, perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails.
Each of the four suites is designed with comfort and tranquility in mind. The primary suite, located on the upper level for added privacy, features a king-size bed adorned with luxurious linens, a cozy seating area overlooking the lake, and access to a private balcony. Unique to this suite are the two separate en-suite bathrooms, each with its own walk-in shower, vanity, and ample closet space, providing an unparalleled level of convenience and luxury.
The additional three suites are equally inviting. The second is furnished with a queen-size bed, while the rest have a double bed each, with tasteful décor reflecting the natural surroundings and en-suite bathrooms with modern fixtures and spa-like amenities. Large windows in each room frame picturesque views of the lake or the property's lush landscaping, enhancing the serene atmosphere.
The game and recreation room is a highlight of the home, offering a variety of activities to keep guests entertained. Challenge friends to a game of air hockey, enjoy a workout on the Peloton bike, or engage in a friendly cornhole competition. This versatile space also includes a comfortable lounge area with a flat-screen TV, making it a perfect retreat for both activity and relaxation.
Stepping outside, the property's outdoor spaces are designed to maximize the breathtaking lakefront setting. The expansive patio features a hot tub positioned to offer stunning views of the water, providing a soothing experience after a day of exploration. The gas firepit, surrounded by comfortable seating, invites evening gatherings under the stars, while the propane BBQ and outdoor dining area make alfresco meals a delightful option.

Very clean and well equipped property. Our whole group loved the space, terrace and beach areas. A few issues with the house were addressed very effectively by Jessica. We would 100% return again.

Tranquil fun!
The house is exquisite. The floor plan itself is calming and expansive. The Master Bedroom is absolutely beautiful. The large windows looking out to the lake give someone the impression that they may be on a boat without having to float. The kitchen is both practical and pleasing with everything well organized. I could not have asked for a better experience. Calming and fun!
