This is our third time back at Emily’s place. This place has everything you could possibly need. We love how central it is to everything (15-20 mins to everything, downtown Bellingham, bellisfair/meridian st, Fairhaven). We got to check out Whatcom falls park this time too. Everything is well stocked for all of your needs. The kids LOVE the hot tub. It’s tucked away on a quiet street with lots of yard space so it definitely doesn’t feel like you’re in the city. Emily is a great host - always responsive and quick with the support. We love it and hope to come back again for a 4th time !
