Peaceful Farm Retreat on 117 Acres | Private Apartment, Hot Tub, Wide-Open Skies

Wake Up to Peace and Wide-Open Skies



Come out to the countryside at Oostema Farmstead, a working Wagyu cattle farm just outside Lynden. This private king-bedroom apartment with its own patio is a comfortable place for one or two to slow down, whether you're here for a quiet getaway, visiting family, or passing through on the way to or from Canada.



The One-Bedroom Version of Our Farmhouse Apartment



This listing is the king bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom, plus the living room, kitchenette, and private patio. The second bedroom and second bathroom are locked off. If you need both bedrooms, book our Two Bedroom Farmhouse Apartment listing instead.



You'll wake to birdsong, fresh country air, and open views across our pastures where the Wagyu cattle graze. Oostema Farmstead is 117 acres of room to breathe. No crowds, no hurry.



Morning coffee on the patio, a walk around the farm, a soak in the hot tub under the stars. It's the kind of calm that's hard to find these days.
