About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Modern Dream Lake Samish Waterfront Home
High Ceilings and Large windows make this home a place where the weight of the world fades away.
There is one bedroom with a queen bed, one queen size sleeper sofa (with a gel mattress) in the great room as well as a blow up queen mattress. A great place for two to six for a fun weekend.
My 'Girly Industrial' house theme is expressed in the pink accents, hand painted black peonies on the grey concrete floors to the truss joist with car-decking for the ceiling creating a loft like space.
I put in 'old lady' steps to easily get into the water off the dock so more are able to enjoy the lake on a hot day.
My house is designed for accessibility no curb for the shower 36 inch wide doors and it is all on one level. I brought my friend who is in a wheel chair for a weekend and she was happy to be so independent. For further details please call.
I am not always at a computer ( I am somewhat of a luddite) so my response time is not instant. I am at my computer on Mondays. Please feel free to call if time is of the essence. that is the best way to reach me.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

My husband and I and our two dogs had the best week at Jennifer’s lake house. It was the perfect location for easy access to downtown Bellingham and the Port! Jennifer has excellent style and an artistic flair that shows in every aspect of her house. We will definitely be back!

Excellent experience
Stayed 3 nights. Really enjoyed the place. Wish we could have been at the home more to enjoy the lake, but we were visiting family so not at the property itself except to sleep. Comfy, clean, would recommend for a couple traveling without kids.

Stunning
This was perfectly perfect in every way. From the stunning views to the comfortable bed, great shower, and bathtub. We could not have asked for better. There is a large dining room table that can easily accommodate the whole family for dinner. But the lake itself is the star of the show and don’t forget there’s a beautiful baby grand piano.

Cross country wedding success
We had to travel from Michigan to Bellingham for a wedding. This space was the perfect option for us. Quiet, calm, clean and so easy. The deep tub & rain shower were highlights, as was the view of the lake! It's a couples retreat for sure. The location just off the highway made it simple for us out-of-towners to get around easily. Would stay again.

Cozy getaway
This place was very relaxing and since the weather was fairly wet, it gave us a great excuse to lounge on the couch and enjoy the lake views. Would like to come back when sun is out to enjoy kayaking on the lake. Quiet peaceful neighborhood and everyone seemed very welcoming on morning walks with our puppy! Wheelchair access worked for us. There is one step at the entrance that required some assistance and next time we’ll bring a bath chair with back support; otherwise we didn’t need special equipment.

A soothing, quiet weekend.
Lovely spot. So different than any place we have rented lately. Great art. Unique style. Jen has a good eye for interior design, which invokes good conversation. We plan our meals and had no problem cooking up three meals a day. Neighbors seemed nice and quiet. It was just what the Dr. ordered. Rest and relaxation. We would definitely consider another visit.

Jen was a great communicator. She gave us just the right amount of information and was happy to help is we had any questions or concerns (we had none). We hope to come back and stay again!
