Eco conscious the dream

The Office- Cabin With Pasture View

Beautiful grounds amazing sauna adored the location very convenient to everything in Bellingham in Fairhaven host was responsive and helpful. My only note would be that the composting toilet without the door to it is a bit strange but I appreciate the equal conscious sentiment.

The Office- Cabin With Pasture View

Large cabin w beautiful views of Lake Watcom through the woods, amazing amenities, not the biggest fan of the composting toilet but maybe I'm too much of a city boy. Sauna was lovely, unfortunately was not able to try the fire pit!

The Office- Cabin With Pasture View

The Office was perfect for a weekend in the Bellingham area! Great balance of feeling away from it all while being a short drive to the city. Kari was very communicative and supportive. And we had a great time meeting the herd of goats/sheep as well.

Cozy cabin

The Playhouse- Cabin In The Woods

Spent three nights here at the Playhouse to attend graduation ceremonies at WWU. Perfect location close to campus yet a peaceful and quiet place to relax. Everything nice and warm with heater running despite a windstorm blowing through. Petting the goats/sheep was great entertainment to make it memorable. Will stay here again whenever in B ham!

The Office- Cabin With Pasture View

This is my third time staying here. The perfect basecamp for anything in the Bellingham area! So quiet and peaceful. Very accessible to town, yet quiet solitude. Had a great night's sleep. Cabin is spotless. Everytime while coming and going was able to enjoy the goats/sheep. Bumped into Kari this time and had a wonderful conversation. Very personable and accommodating. Coming back in Dec.
