Monthly stays Jan–Mar 2026\. Fast Wi-Fi & desk for remote work. Mount Baker skiing just 80 mins away. Steps from Galbraith trails & Lake Whatcom. Mount Baker is just a little over an hour away. Private stairs in back lead to a peaceful, light-filled apartment with full kitchen, soaking bathtub, 100% cotton linens, & modern farmhouse charm. Quiet, nature-filled setting just minutes from town. We’ve designed this space with the same care and attention to detail we appreciate when we travel. A cozy, curated getaway for outdoor adventure, families, or anyone needing a peaceful reset. Enjoy! Self check-in makes arrival easy and flexible. We fully respect your privacy and are happy to keep interaction to a minimum. That said, we’re just a message away if you need anything or have questions during your stay. Our home is located in the beautiful, tree-filled Geneva neighborhood. It’s peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by nature, with frequent visits from deer, bunnies, owls, and other wildlife. Despite the secluded, forested feel, you're less than 8 minutes by car from Whole Foods, downtown Bellingham, and other local favorite restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and the vibrant farmer’s market. Mount Baker is just a little over an hour away for skiing and snowboarding! Lake Whatcom is a short walk from the house, perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or a scenic stroll. Just steps from the property is direct access to the Galbraith Mountain trail system, a world-class mountain biking and hiking destination known throughout the Pacific Northwest. Geneva offers the best of both worlds—quiet and nature-rich, yet close to everything. Guests have their own private entrance at the back of the house, accessible via a flight of steps. Entry is simple and secure with a keyless entry pad—no keys to keep track of and easy self check-in anytime after 3 p.m. Our space is modern, light-filled, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and ease. The home was newly built just a couple of years ago, and everything inside is fresh and new. Your apartment is attached to the main home in more of a side-by-side layout, with private access off the back deck. We live in a peaceful neighborhood tucked right next to the forest, so you’ll hear plenty of birds and nature sounds. The apartment is ideal for families, couples, or solo travelers looking for a quiet, welcoming retreat. We've added all the little touches we appreciate when we travel — like cotton linens for a great night’s sleep, and an open-concept living and kitchen area that feels both spacious and cozy. There are two comfortably sized bedrooms, each with large closets. One has a queen bed; the other has a full-size bed with a twin bunk above it — perfect for kids or extra guests. We also provide a Pack ’n Play and high chair for families traveling with little ones. Every detail was chosen to make your stay feel relaxed, clean, and just a little special. We’re located near beautiful Lake Whatcom and right on the Galbraith Mountain trail system that's perfect for mountain bikers and hikers. From the house, you can easily ride into town or explore trails that connect across the ridge to different parts of Bellingham. While many guests find having a car convenient for getting around, the area is also very accessible for those looking to explore on two wheels! You'll enter the space by going to the back of the home & up the deck stairs to your private entrance. If you’re traveling with a toddler, let us know — we’re happy to provide a baby gate for the top of the stairs. Wi-Fi is fast and reliable, great for working remotely. Water pressure here is a little softer than average due to our location — still fully functional. There's also a beautiful soaking tub with a handheld shower wand for a relaxing bath. The apartment is attached to the main home, more like a side-by-side setup, but part of it is beneath the upstairs of the house. You may hear some light movement or muffled voices occasionally since our home office is upstairs. There's a sweet friendly dog in the main home, but he doesn't bark. It's a very quiet street with tons of trees and nature sounds from being right next to the forest. We’re available if you need anything during your stay — just send us a message! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On a lake ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99300000/99292300/99292298/8b50f286.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Samish Cozy Retreat with the comforts of home.
