We came to Bellingham for a memorial, and brought our children and grandchildren. The host was very accommodating and allowed us an early check-in and to have friends over for dinner. There were toys and games for the kids. The house was conveniently located.
This is a great house that is well located. The kitchen is very well equipped. The outside patio was perfect for socializing. I was there with 7 friends and would definitely stay there again.
Our family loved staying in this thoughtfully appointed home during WWU graduation weekend! The house was as described online, impeccably clean and comfortable, with everything you would want to enjoy your stay. The hosts were very helpful and readily available for questions. Highly recommend!
Nice kitchen and great table in dining room for a large family gathering. High ceilings and windows make the downstairs rooms very bright and welcoming.
Very clean house and very family friendly. My grandchildren loved all the toys. Great location and a fun neighborhood to take a walk. We enjoyed our stay!
We had the best time in Bellingham! The house was perfect for us and the dogs. We walked everywhere we went and had really nice evenings at the house. Will for sure come back!
The house was very clean, plenty of linens for our family of 12. The kitchen is very well equipped. The downstairs living area is very spacious and comfortable, plenty of sofas and chairs, pillows and throws, tons of games, music options. The sleeping arrangements are tight for a large group. The host was amazingly responsive, returning a message via VRBO almost immediately and was very easy to work with. Overall a great stay.
Our family had a great experience and had activities setup for kids of all ages. The house is conveniently located and clean. Also, really appreciate the hosts' responsiveness. Would definitely recommend!
We had a great stay! We loved the big kitchen and coffee options. The giant table was perfect for meals, games and puzzles. Also, what a lovely neighborhood with Elizabeth Park so close! Lastly, we were impressed with the toy truck collection!
Elm House was a very comfortable and peaceful landing spot for an important gathering of our close friendship group. Hosts provided very quick and helpful information, and the home was just as advertised. All possible coffee preparations were available, along with lovely indoor and outdoor spots to enjoy a relaxed a peaceful time together. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
This is a great place for a family to stay! 3rd floor game room, lots of board games, records, Tonka Trucks in the back yard, covered propane firepit and fun stuff everywhere in the house. The house is in excellent shape with recently remodeled baths. The host was wonderful and my family had a great time there. Highly recommend this property, especially for a large family.
We loved this property! It is a great location. What was best was the communication with the owner. Towels and sheets were great. Good washer and dryer. Wonderful coffee bar and kitchen. We will stay there again when we go back to Bellingham.
Our two and a half year old loved the trucks, the play kitchen and running around the circle of dining room, living room, entry, and music room. The adults enjoyed playing albums on the turntable. The location is about a mile walk to railroad street for the shops and restaurants. All around a good experience.
Great week staying here. Perfect for family reunion with small kids. Books, toys and games available. Park a block away. Beautiful neighborhood with coffee shop and market close by.
We loved our stay here in Bellingham! I can't say enough positive things. The location was great - close to the marina, coffee, parks, food, etc. The home is ideal for families. Pack 'n play was there and ready for us for out little one, lots of board games and toys for our others kids (4 and 6). Plenty of space to spread out. And everything was easy - John and Grace were proactive communicators and generous with recommendations and help throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again!
Perfect for our group of friends and family to celebrate together.
Everyone had enough space. The kitchen worked well for me to make a large meal for 10. Enjoyed the outdoor seating around fire.
Grateful to have found this home conveniently located to town
The house has amazing charm and character! The location could not have been better. Lovely neighborhood. In house amenities provided everything one would need for a comfy stay. Probably the easiest thermostat I've ever used! There were little 'info signs' around the house that were very helpful and efficient. Saving the best for last, the hosts. John and his partner are on another level. Leaders of the pack! Don't pass this listing by...
Had a wonderful stay visiting our college kid. The house is super, very spacious, and especially for families w/kids (ours 10-19), tons of kid/teen friendly stuff to do. This VRBO has all the extra's that make it feel really special -- soap/shampoo/dishwasher and washing machine pods/great coffee options/new plentiful towel supply/welcome gift. Super walkable with great options for coffee/beer/food very close by. Even to central downtown it is less than a mile. John, our host, was super responsive and provided fab recommendations for hiking, beer drinking, ice cream eating, etc -- we did most of them, and they were all enjoyed by our crew.
The house comfortably accommodated my family who had gathered to celebrate a landmark birthday. The kitchen is nicely stocked with dishes/pans and the large farm style dining table was perfect for playing games. The owners have a nice assortment of board games and even a record player! The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of pillows, blankets and towels. We had great weather so we gathered around the gas fire pit while the kids played with the assortment of trucks the owners had provided. There is a really nice park just a block away and there are coffee shops within walking distance. The home was very clean. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
Property was for the most part as advertised. John was quick to communicate before check-in and after. We had a bit of an issue with the fridge but worked through it and he had a new one ready within 24 hours of the next party coming in. Only feedback is the top floor room needs AC when the daily temperatures get above AC or it becomes unusable. The balance of the house was very comfortable and the outdoor space with the gazebo is a great touch. Overall great experience.
