We loved our stay in Sudden Valley. The pet-friendly listing is what initially drew us to the property, but the beautiful views and responsive property management exceeded our expectations. We had a last minute request for the property manager, who was very responsive and accommodating.

Lovely House with a view of the Lake!

The house was comfortable and tastefully decorated. It has a large kitchen so several people can easily work together preparing meals. It is relaxing to sit out on the deck and enjoy the view. We would consider staying there again

Lovely home, great location

This lovely, clean home was the perfect location for our Bellingham stay, with plenty of room for 5 adults to relax and enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Whatcom in a peaceful resort setting. It is conveniently located to take advantage of a wide range of activities in the area. Our host, Barbara, was responsive to questions during our stay and provided information about area activities and amenities.

Very comfortable, great place to stay

We rented this house over Thanksgiving weekend to be close to my sisters family. The house is great, I would love to come back in the summertime when we could use the amenities a bit more! Fortunately we had a really nice day to enjoy the lake and scenery before it started raining again.

Very comfortable and safe stay. Property manager was great to work with us and our needs. This neighborhood property would be perfect for the warmer months with a marina, golf course and dog park nearby. Very scenic property with pine trees, lake view and lots of deer just needed to add the sun.

Excellent Rental!

The home was clean, spacious, comfortable and well located for our three day getaway to the Sudden Valley/Bellingham area. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck with its view of the lake and surrounding woodlands. The owner was very responsive to our few questions and was most gracious in providing ample amenities and extras beyond the basics. Highly recommended!

Scenic with nice personal touches

This was a wonderful place to stay for a weekend getaway. The location is right next to the water and has very beautiful scenic views (we even got to see some deer!) while also only being 15 minutes away from the shopping center. We especially liked all the personal touches, such as the pantry having basic ingredients in stock like spices, oils and pasta which are sometimes things we don't think about picking up when we're at the grocery store. The house was very clean and the owner was easy to reach if we had any questions.

This house was perfect. Very comfortable, very clean, very well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed being able To barbecue and eat outside. This was a great location to cruise around and visit many different sites! We enjoyed hiking around Lake Louise as well! The TV is downstairs in a great room... although we would like to have seen one in the upstairs living room area as well. But —we loved our stay and would highly recommend!

Summer on Lake Whatcom

This was a very nice property. Owner supplied fans for anticipated three 90 degree days. We could not be in the house during the day but survived the evenings by sleeping in the walkout level which was fine with the fans. Not sure I will rent anywhere in Bellingham without air in future. The house itself was very pleasant and enjoyed the views of lake whatcom on the deck. It is also close proximity to the beach and access for canoes and kayaks.
