This was our third visit to the Lake Samish property and, as in the past, it was a wonderful family vacation. The host was highly responsive and the home updates were lovely and enhanced the experience.

Great place

Our family had a wonderful time at this house! It had everything we needed and more! The location was also spectacular. There are some sunken rooms that require you to take a step down which can be tricky with elderly guests.

Lake access is excellent!

The outdoor space is 5 star-great deck, yard, dock & water toys. The indoor space is 4 star-bedrooms, bathrooms & kitchen need updating, family living areas are good. We had a really fun family gathering on this property. We would stay here again. Nice location, great neighbors!

Family Fun

Had a great time here. The outside dock area is perfect for fun on the water. And the Fourth of July fireworks off of the neighbors dock were amazing. The kids had a wonderful time fishing from the dock and getting pulled on an innertube.

Awesome Lake House!

Amazing place for friends to stay and hang out on the lake. The property came with a couple of kayaks and SUPs, and had a dock to jump off. We didn’t spend much time indoors, since we got lucky with the weather. Would stay here again, 10/10!

Great stay on Lake Samish

We loved our stay on Lake Samish. The house was clean, accommodating for 4 adults and 3 kids with plenty of extra space. The private dock and water toys (kayaks, paddle boards, etc) were lots of fun. The toddlers with us even caught their first fish from the dock! Well stocked with kitchen items, towels, and other basics. A great stay overall!

Perfect spot for 30th birthday

We booked this house for a 30th birthday. It was the perfect spot to host family and friends! We had guests come from Seattle and Bellingham (lots just for the day which was perfect)! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The kayaks and SUP's were great to explore the lake. Our group spent so much time out on the large seating area at the end of the dock, which was perfect!

Fun House!

We had a large group of friends visiting Bellingham for a summer weekend and this house was perfect! The weather was great so we spent almost all of our time on the big back patio, jumping off the dock, playing yard games, and at the grill. Inside was a large living space which made it easy to hang out at night. Great spot if you are hosting a large group!

New Years at the fun house

We had a group of 9 for New years and it worked out great. Lots of space to socialize and play games. We enjoyed a nice fire in the afternoon followed by a nice walk out to the dock. The deck is large and can fit a big crowd with a great BBQ for cooking. Has four bedrooms with a large master bedroom and ensuite. We enjoyed our time with very nice hosts that are great to communicate with!

A beautiful get away right on the lake

We had a family wedding in Bellingham and this home was the perfect gathering place for 8 of us. Four bedrooms made it just right for us. The view is beautiful and some of our crew even did cold plunges in the lake - and then warmed up in the hot tub. The location is about 15-20 minutes from the wedding venue. Close, but a real get-away too. The manager and owners were accommodating and quick to respond when we made a request. Highly recommend.

Family gathering

We had a great stay as a family. The house was very clean, we appreciated all the towels available and the great deck, lawn and dock. Hosts were very responsive. If you have elderly or handicapped people in your group you may need to take extra precautions as the living and dining room are sunken and all bedrooms are on second floor, steps to second floor don’t have railings. We managed just fine since we had lots of people to help our dad get around, just something to be aware of. This was our second time staying at this property and we really loved it.

Link family

My husband and I are seniors, the outside stairs scary for us. Also the step down living room was scary no way of seeing that it was a step because of the floor color. The draw in the kitchen was broken, we love to cook together, not many cooking utensils. The location of the house was great. Our family enjoyed fishing from the dock, boating and kayaking. Thanks for the easy way to tie up the boat and the boat ramp. We were disappointed that there wasn’t 5 bedrooms. The house was very clean.

Overall it was nice, clean, beautiful house and location. But caution for those who may have mobility/balance issues as no handrails for stairs or a step to get into hot tub. The living room/dining room is sunken and the same color of the wood everywhere so my husband didn’t see the step and tripped and fell causing a bruise on his foot. There was no cold water in the main bathroom upstairs and in one of the sinks in the master bathroom. But we would stay here again.
