Family-friendly holiday rentals in Whatcom County

Michels space was clean, comfortable, modern, and pet friendly. Plus, Michel and Erin are very helpful and gracious hosts. Looking forward to another stay in the future!

A once in a lifetime trip for our family from The Netherlands! We had 6 people come to celebrate my husbands birthday! The house itself is big and beautiful, everyone had their own space. The kitchen is full of all the things you would need, and a delight to cook in. The house is so warm and welcoming, it was easy to feel comfortable. We felt like the house had all the essentials, we didn't need anything that wasn't there and easily found. It was so quiet, it was like being in a wildlife sanctuary! We saw deer, squirrels, and even a bald eagle. The hot tub did not dissapoint and one sister found the steam room a dream. We walked through Whatcom Falls Park, which is literally in the backyard. We could not have asked for a better home, and experience. We spent most of our time together sitting around the lovely dinner table, eating, laughing and just being together. Thank you for sharing your peaceful space with us. We created memories that will last a lifetime.

I was traveling with 3 kids (pre teen and teens). We all loved our stay! There was so much to do and absolutely everything we needed for anything we could think of doing. We enjoyed ping pong, biking, s’more’s, kayaking, games, cooking meals, watching wildlife (seals, a huge sea lion, weasel, bald eagles), and hanging out with a friendly black cat that visited. I cooked a couple meals and had everything I needed for cooking and storage. The view was amazing and north-facing which made me upset that I missed the strong auroras by 1 day :( I wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful place to relax- much loved property and high end, thoughtful interior. Highly recommend .

We had a great time at Lydia’s farm cottage. We enjoyed meeting the goats and pot bellied pig. The garden out back had great strawberries and blackberries, as well as others. The location was great for our kayaking and whale watching trips out of Deer Harbor, as well as great hiking at nearby Turtleback mountain. All in all, a quiet and relaxing home for our first visit to Orcas Island.

The place was beautiful and private, with many deer wandering freely. The cabin was luxurious, with a great kitchen, a hot tub, a huge wrap-around couch and a deck with plenty of seating. Autumn, the host, was very accommodating and easily reachable by phone. Beds were comfortable, showers were hot, and we had plenty of extra linens, including towels. We have stayed in many Airbnb accommodations, and this was one of the best. Thank you!

We had a great time at Scott’s place. It was the perfect accommodation for a weekend of snowboarding at Mt. Baker. Some highlights were; the hot tub after a day on the mountain, the game cube which had Mario cart to keep us entertained, and how close the cabin was to some yummy restaurants (Chair 9- great pizza). Scott was also going to allow us to stay an extra night since the weather going back to Vancouver wasn’t great for driving which was very kind. Would recommend his place to anyone and would love to come back in the summer to explore.

Campbell’s house felt like staying in someone’s home. It was comfortable and lived in. It worked very well for our travel needs, and Campbell was super responsive and clear with his communication. Thanks for a great experience!

Phil was wonderful to engage with and the place was cozy and a perfect retreat for our weekend skiing!

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin with our family! The location is absolutely beautiful, with spectacular mountain views that made our mornings and evenings extra special. The cabin was very clean and well-stocked with plenty of options for family entertainment, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time together. If you're traveling with a little one, I recommend bringing a portable playard, as there isn’t one provided. The host, Brian, was fantastic—very communicative and made sure we had all the information we needed to access the cabin and feel right at home. Highly recommend this location for a peaceful and memorable getaway!

Fantastic stay! The property was better than described. Immaculately clean, well appointed. Will definitely stay here again.

My third visit to the cottage in the barn, and I continue to fall deeper in love with it and with Orcas. I appreciate being just a bit away from town and how quiet and peaceful it is here. The little winery down the street is great fun, and the Lum farm has fresh goodies and you can visit with their animals! it's a gorgeous little home away from home and having the huge property to walk around with my pup is a big part of the draw for me. Well equipped kitchen with coffee supplies and spices, wraps, BYO oils and such for cooking. Love love and will be back as soon as I am able. Thanks, Susan!

I found Deborah’s place was a quiet retreat with a super comfortable bed! She is a kind and gracious host!

We were able to find the location quickly and the check in was very convenient. The space was cozy and clean. It was close to downtown Bellingham (about 10 minute drive) and close to Galbraith where we went mountain biking. Our bikes felt safe stowed on the property. We recommend this stay.

Absolutely loved staying here and hope to stay again someday! Very cute little house, great location :)

Cute cabin, perfect for the two of us to stay at. Sheila communicated quick and helped us with any of our needs! Thank you Sheila!

Cute cozy condo in Glacier. Worked perfect for an over night hiking trip to Baker.

Nice 3-bedroom 2-bathroom spot with a hot tub and Foosball table. Located really close to Chair 9, which makes for an easy meet up spot for groups. Just be aware that there is almost no cell phone service in this area

We had a great time at Anna's house and immediately felt right at home. It had everything we needed. It felt perfectly secluded and private in spite of the neighborhood being relatively dense. The view of the lake was beautiful. We appreciated the house's proximity to Bellingham and the area's sprawling mountain bike trails. Grateful for our time there!

We were very grateful for Yuri’s detailed notes regarding finding the condo, getting in, being extra careful about all the tree sap, etc. We especially loved his descriptions of the local restaurants, sights and activities!!! We followed his recommendations and had excellent meals and adventures. The place is filled with his wife’s incredible art. We both feel renewed from our week on Orcas Island!

Very calm and peaceful getaway to unwind

Matt's place was perfect for my group to spend an easy weekend skiing at baker. Very close to the glacier ski shop and wake n bakery, 30 mins from the slopes, and within walking distance of chair 9. There were games and a few dvd's to choose from in the condo, as well as a community building with a pool table, hot tub + pool, and much more. Matt supplied helpful instructions and was very responsive. I would definitely stay here again.

Our family had a great stay and will definitely be back to visit again soon! The condo was exactly as pictured- very clean, stocked with everything we needed, and lots of space for everyone. It’s in a great location across the street from the beach and within walking distance to food and yummy bakeries/ice cream. The kids especially loved the pool! Fred was a great host and answered all of my questions quickly!

We always try to stay here when we come into town. It is perfect for us
