About this house rental
A two-bedroom retreat in the trees in Sudden Valley, about 15 minutes from downtown Bellingham. Two king bedrooms, vaulted wood ceilings, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large private deck surrounded by forest. Whatcom Lake, hiking, golf, and a private disc golf course are minutes away. Dog friendly.
The unit is the upper level of a home built into a forested hillside. The trees surround the deck, filter the light, and keep the place cool in summer. It's genuinely quiet in a way that takes a few hours to get used to if you've been in a city.
The deck is the main draw: large, private, with a dining table and lounge chairs. The kind of place you sit down for morning coffee and look up two hours later.
Inside, vaulted wood ceilings give it a proper cabin feel without being rustic. Each bedroom has a king bed and its own thermostat. The sectional converts to a king-size bed by pushing the ottomans together, with bedding stored inside, good for two children or one adult. Fully equipped kitchen with a Keurig, plus an in-unit washer and dryer.
DISC GOLF
Guests have access to Mossy Roc Disc Golf Course, a private advanced 18-hole course. Four discs are in the TV console. Lost discs are a $20 replacement charge per disc.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
Galbraith Mountain is a short drive and one of the best trail networks in the Pacific Northwest, from beginner flow trails to technical enduro and downhill. I co-host a guided ride with a professional UCI Downhill World Circuit racer, tailored to your level. Guests get 20% off. Message me for details.
THE AREA
Whatcom Lake is minutes away for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Sudden Valley Golf Course is open to the public, and the Interurban Trail and Chuckanut Mountain have hikes from easy waterfront walks to ridgeline views over Puget Sound.
Downtown Bellingham has a serious food and brewery scene for its size. Gruff Brewing and Kulshan at Trackside are worth an evening, and Trackside has a bike park where kids ride while adults eat. Otherside Bagels for breakfast, L&L for lunch, and the Community Food Co-op for groceries. The Saturday Farmers Market at Depot Market Square runs April through December.
In winter, Mount Baker Ski Area is about an hour away and one of the snowiest resorts in North America.
GOOD TO KNOW
Two flights of stairs up to this unit since the home is built into a hillside. Worth knowing if you're traveling with young kids, elderly guests, or a lot of gear.
Sudden Valley gets very dark after sunset. If arriving at night, bring a flashlight or use your phone's light.
One driveway parking space for this unit. HOA rules don't allow street or shoulder parking, so please plan on one vehicle. Dogs are welcome and must be leashed outside.
The entire unit is yours: private entrance, one level, self-contained. Exterior security cameras cover entrances and exterior areas only.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
Loved our stay! We were visitng Bellingham and this house was super close. The host, Torrey, was amazing. Very accomodating, responsive, kind, and made it a point check in with us throughout our stay to make sure everything was to our liking. The house was very clean, comfortable, and accurate to the listing. Fully stocked kitchen, plenty of linens and towels, very comfortable king beds! It was pretty toasty when we arrived, but the fans and opening the windows for a bit helped cool it down. Definitely recommend bringing a fan of your own if you are staying in the summer time. Overall, the experience was lovely and absolutely recommend staying here if you are visiting the area!
