Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Whatcom County

This place felt like an exhale I didn’t know I needed. Surrounded by trees and the sound of the river nearby, it offered space to slow down, to listen inward, to just be. There’s something deeply thoughtful about how this space is held— it’s not just a retreat, but a quiet invitation to return to yourself. I came here craving stillness and left feeling more whole, more grounded, and so grateful for the care woven into every part of this experience. Thank you for creating something so nourishing.

Carol was a great host and her place was impeccable in every ways, the view of Chuckanut bay was gorgeous, the place was filled with top quality amenities and tastefully decorated in every room. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful spot! Emily's house felt like a modern cabin in the woods, with very thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor areas. The house has amazing, almost direct access to the Galbraith trail system (which we really appreciated, as mountain bikers); and its location along Lakeway Drive means you're a short drive to everything Bellingham has to offer. The kitchen is also fully stocked and you would be able to whip up just about any meal you could imagine, if you wanted to! We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again.

Sophia’s place was a good landing pad to visit friends before fishing season and get some work done during the day. It was my first time in Bellingham and I absolutely loved it. Less than 10 minutes from pretty much everywhere I went and not far from tons of hikes and interesting places.

Had a great stay! Was an excellent home base / retreat for our team's Ski to Sea weekend. Spending time out on the dock overlooking the peaceful lake was a highlight

Absolutely loved staying here and hope to stay again someday! Very cute little house, great location :)

We decided to splurge on an extra nice Airbnb for a local family getaway and staying in Marie’s place was a wonderful treat. Everything is so nicely arranged and Marie is a very friendly and helpful host! I really couldn’t recommend this place any higher! It’s a short drive to Birch Bay restaurants and shops, but honestly the place is so nice you won’t want to leave! The huge windows and deck let you enjoy the beauty of the water throughout your stay whether you’re in the hot tub, enjoying the fire pit or sitting inside watching a video on the big screen. The huge shower was a special treat too! :) Thank you, Marie, for sharing your wonderful home with us!

One of our favorite experiences on Airbnb in years. There are countless thoughtful touches to this Airbnb - the generous snacks/drinks, extra space heaters in individual rooms, chargers in the common spaces, the curated movie collection. It's additionally absolutely spotless, easy check in, with a responsive and kind host. A stand out - you won't regret it!

Hannah and Pat are wonderful hosts. They immediately made us feel at home with their warm and welcoming hospitality. Their property is beautiful and full of fruit trees, vegetable gardens, flowers, birds, and a pretty fish pond. Our space was very comfortable and accommodating, and the spacious bathroom with the heated floor was quite nice. We would definitely recommend a stay at Hannah's.

The place is small, but it is really comfortable for a few nights. It was very clean and organized. We really like the common shared area where they have the pool table, a fireplace, and some nice and cozy sofas. We went there both nights, and it was mostly empty with the whole place for us. We didn’t cook, so we cannot evaluate the kitchen.

Comfortable house, beautiful view, and great walkable location to restaurants and small stores. The host Kay was very friendly and responsive!

Location, location, location! We enjoyed David's condo over the long Memorial weekend - visiting our daughter and SIL. We knew we would be able to walk to most anything: Hagens, coffee shops restaurants etc. However we did not realize the Ski to Sea event (along with the Fairhaven Festival) was that same weekend, the location was perfect to enjoy those events without moving the car (as we would have lost our parking space). Thank you David, for being responsive and flexible.

We had a great time staying in Fairhaven! Really lovely views from the place and a great walk to the downtown. Our hosts were so lovely and gave us great recommendations.

We stayed over a week and felt very much at home. Clean and cosy. Nice neighborhood. Good shower, kitchen has all you need. The coffee beans and the coffee grinder were an unexpected bonus. And, yes, you do hear the trains, particularly with an open window at night but with the earplugs that are provided it is no problem. (As European I don't understand how they can let the trains basically sound pullute whole towns with their blasting horns at every thinkable railroadcrossing. Trains move all quiet back in Europe.) Excellent stay, excellent host. Thank you!

Lara and Casey were very accommodating as we stayed in their apartment for over a month. The place is beautiful and located in a very peaceful and relaxing part of town. It has everything you need for an extended stay in Bellingham, and they were super helpful and lovely hosts!

We had good time staying here. The location is perfect for enjoying Birch Bay and just a a few minutes walk to the state park. Thanks Alison!

Very cozy and comfortable place to spend time in Bellingham. The walk to downtown is lovely and the location is perfect for exploring the Bellingham area. The bed was comfortable, the shower was amazing. and the cleanliness was excellent. We love to cook and found the kitchen pretty well stocked with the tools we needed for making a few meals. I'd return to stay again in a heartbeat.

Such a lovely Airbnb in a beautiful location. The place was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you for hosting us!

The Inn on the Harbor was a perfect weekend getaway spot. Super clean and comfortable with great water views. Check in was made really easy and Tracey gave great directions ahead of time. Downtown Blaine is very walkable from this spot. We will be back!

This place is truly a gem. We were so blessed to find it. And then to have such amazing hosts was just the cherry on the sundae. We kept finding more sweet surprises around every corner. I loved how Duncan and Sarah didn't overcomplicate anything but were readily available. Our expectations were exceeded.

Great place to stay in Birch Bay! Dan and Sherri were great hosts, the condo was very comfortable and had a nice view of the bay. Very responsive and answered all our questions promptly and clearly. Would stay here again!

Lar's condo was pristine in every way and had all anyone would need to have a very comfortable stay. This was home-from-home for us - neat, tidy and spanking clean. The spaciousness, the decor and the view towards the bay as well as the ease of walking to local restaurants, makes Lar's place ideal. Thanks for making your lovely home available.

We always try to stay here when we come into town. It is perfect for us

We really enjoyed our stay! Loved that from one balcony we had a river view and the other a view of the bay. The home was comfortable and cozy for our family. Beds had nice, soft (and clean!) sheets, comfortable mattresses as well. Short walk to beach access and coffee shop which was a plus as well.
