The house was immaculate and everything was new or nearly so, and very well equipped. Ron, the owner, was very attentive and helpful. The view overlooking the town and bay was stunning because of the elevation. This brings to mind the one negative aspect--the very steep gravel driveway and steps, prominently mentioned by the owner in the listing. This shouldn't be a problem if you have the right kind of vehicle and you are able to climb stairs. I would contact the owner if you're not sure you can manage. The sunsets viewed from the deck were magnificent and an unexpected bonus. You would be very close to the Canadian border which is very easy to cross. There are also a number of very interesting little towns on the USA side worth visiting, e.g. Lynden.
