Downstairs@TheVictorian: Downtown and Dog-Friendly

Summary:
You'll love this bright and airy getaway in the heart of Bellingham. Brought to you by StayBham, creators of inspired retreats. One of two apartments in The Victorian on Garden, a historic 1895 home. Perfectly located, just blocks from downtown's best restaurants, parks, and shops, this dog-friendly retreat will be the perfect home base for your PNW adventures. Enjoy all that Bellingham has to offer -from the mountains to the bay- and recharge in this lively sanctuary. With one bedroom and one bath, it is perfect for solo travelers, friends or families.

The Space:
Enter through the garden and follow the path to your home away from home. The apartment features a spa-like bathroom and spacious living areas.

Enter into the charming, well-stocked kitchen, where you will find everything you need for a delightful stay. Whether you plan to cook a lot or just want to enjoy our fantastic selection of teas, coffee, and treats, we've got you covered. The full kitchen also includes a washer-dryer, which you will be welcome to use (laundry detergent included).

From the kitchen, head into the sun-soaked dining room. Make your own tunes on the piano or enjoy the view of the garden. The dining room is the heart of the apartment, with access to living room, bedroom, and kitchen from it.

Pass through the dining room into the window-filled living room. Pick a CD or record from our extensive collection and steal away to the airy, sun-soaked nook. Enjoy a book, meditate, or play Wordle from your private garden-view oasis. Catch up on your favorite shows on the RokuTV or gather with your travel mates — there’s plenty of seating.

Looking to rest? You will love the charming bedroom with a cozy queen-sized bed; it’s a lovely place to rest and recharge -- especially with our luxurious, local, spa-like, supple sheets. This bedroom also has its own TV, perfect for cuddling up and watching a movie or show.

Step outside the bedroom into the spa-like bathroom. The full bathroom is fully-stocked -- you won't even want to use the toiletries you brought. With everything from shampoo and conditioner to argan oil and face wash, we've got you covered. And, there's no need to feel guilty using our tree-free bamboo toilet paper. Be sure to take the opportunity to soak in the vintage clawfoot tub -- we've even provided local bath salts for you to enjoy.

While you are with us, be sure to enjoy the lovely grounds of The Victorian on Garden. The gardens are full of treasures -- from luscious lavender to towering bamboo -- every corner holds something of interest.

Guest Access:
Guests will have private access to the apartment. The apartment is part of a property with 2 separate apartments -- each has a private exterior entrance at the rear of the house and an interior entrance from the front of the house. The apartments share access to the gardens and grounds of the property. None of the interior spaces are shared.

The Neighborhood:
Absolutely in the heart of Bellingham, The Victorian on Garden is just steps from the best of downtown Bellingham. Diagonally across the street from our favorite grocery store in town and just a few blocks of some of the best brewpubs, restaurants, coffee shops, stores, and bakeries in Bellingham -- you won't be far from anything. And, if you want to venture out to explore the area even further, the house provides convenient access -- it's not hard to reach hiking at Chuckanut, skiing at Mt Baker, or boating in Bellingham Bay. We'd be happy to provide our favorite recommendations.

Getting Around:
The house is easily walkable to downtown Bellingham and just a few miles from Fairhaven. You certainly don't need a car while you are staying with us -- bike (inquire about rentals if you are interested) or foot will do. However, if you do have a car, you are welcome to park on-site. Please be sure to leave space for guests staying in the other apartement to park and access the house.

Interaction with Guests:
While you may find members of our cleaning or groundskeeping team on site, guests are free to enjoy the property. If you need us, please send us a message, and we will be happy to help.
