Framed by tall evergreens and perched above the glimmering waters of Lake Whatcom, this inviting retreat was designed for connection. With two thoughtfully crafted homes and generous gathering spaces throughout, it’s perfect for family getaways, friendly reunions, or celebrating something special. Floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive decks bring the outdoors in, while outside, a private dock, bubbling hot tub, lake view fire pit, and wide lawn continue the experience year-round.
Whether you're sipping morning coffee while the mist rises off the water, sharing lunch on the upper deck, or unwinding around the fire pit as the sun sets through the trees, this home makes it easy to slow down and enjoy the moment.
The main house combines rustic warmth with refined comfort, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, large dining area, and panoramic lake views that make every meal feel special. With cozy communal spaces upstairs and down—including a game room with a sectional sofa, wood stove, pool table, and pinball—the home is designed for both relaxation and play. The guest house, just steps away, adds extra flexibility with its own kitchen, lounging spaces, and a private king bedroom that opens to a patio.
Outside, everything centers around shared experiences. Paddle together across the calm morning water—there are plenty of provided kayaks and paddle boards for everyone—enjoy lawn games or lakeside lounging, then take in the mountain views from the hot tub beside a towering cedar. With a private dock, water toys, and a peaceful setting made for memory-making, this property is built to bring people together.
Imagine gathering here—meals that stretch into long conversations, paddles that turn into playful races, fireside chats wrapped in blankets and laughter. Whether you're planning a summer lake adventure, a cozy winter escape, or simply carving out time with the people you love, this is a place to slow down, reconnect, and make memories that will last.
