About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Artistic timberframe in the heart of the City

A home unlike any other you will know. This newly refurbished craftsman features a New York style loft above an open timberframe living space, perfect for hosting friends and family. Ten minute walking distance to downtown, WWU and 9 breweries.

This house is equipped with two full sized bathrooms, three bedrooms with three brand new queen size sleeping mattresses. Ability to sleep two additional guests only upon request. Enjoy your most unique stay!

This is a custom designed home by an artist for artists - there is a story in every nook. It is a home intended to share with creatives and humans who appreciate and respect one another.

Please examine the photos and review the room descriptions including the sleeping arrangements for beds. There is one bathroom and two bedrooms on the main floor and a bathroom and bedroom on the second floor. The piano moved out last summer but the guitars are all for you to play

We look forward to hosting you!

Guests will have access to the entire house, free on street parking, and an opportunity to use the back porch and deck. Plenty of onsite and secure storage for bikes and SUPs.

Other things to note:
This isn't a party house - it is a house of peace, love and art. Strict no party policy and your damage deposit reflects that. Thank you for respecting in advance.

The floors have been beautifully refinished and this is a now officially a shoes off house.

No Smoking of any kind. No pets.

Please also respect that this is a small community and my neighbors and I are close. There is a studio on the property in which we occasionally stay and or host a guest in town. This is a stand alone space on the property and not connected to the house.

Cool remodeled house near walking distance from downtown Bellingham. Bedrooms comfy, TV, internet great. No complaints. The steps leading upstairs only have one rail. No issues, but best to have good balance.

Unique treasure in Bellingham.

We just had the best week staying at this cozy intimate and unique home. It was by far the coolest vrbo home we’ve ever stayed at. Close to downtown close to mountain biking trails and perfectly appointed. We can’t wait to come back. We give it a 10/10!!!

We recently stayed at this beautiful home, and I can’t say enough good things about it! The space was not only stunning, but also functional making our stay comfortable. The central location was just what we needed, providing easy access to everything we wanted to do. Nick, the host was fantastic. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. Definitely a 5 star home.

Beautiful house and great location

We stayed in this artistic house when we visited Western Washington University. It’s walkable to town and to the school. We really enjoyed the place and would stay there again!

Central location for us

We were 3 adult couples - it was a little tight sharing the small downstairs bath with 4 people. We enjoyed our stay, but want to make a few comments: 1-bent screen in front bdrm, so not able to leave window open for air circulation. 2-listing could have been more clear about person living in the back yard shed/garage. 3-missing screen in kitchen window. 4-listing should state no microwave or instant coffee maker. (we did google how to use the french press) 5-listing should state no a/c. (we didn't get in until late and it was a warm day, so it took a while for it to cool off) 5-listing should mention street parking only (we were able to find a spot every day, but it was pretty full) 6-could use a step stool or ledge to get into upstairs bed.

Beautiful artful comfortable home

I loved everything about the house. We were visiting our son at western. It was walking distance (about .8 miles away) from campus. We loved all the beautiful artisan details in the house. The rain shower with the skylight was amazing. The neighbors was quiet. I would definitely stay again.

Unique fun house to stay!

We loved staying at this house over the weekend for the Bellingham Run the Bay! The house is gorgeous, with many small details that were delightful to discover. About a .75 mi. walk from the downtown area, and a 4 min. drive to grocery stores. This was a quiet place to stay, which suited our group. The kitchen was well sticked with equipment to host a nice dinner for folks before the run as well. Nick was very responsive, and respectful of our stay.

Great family getaway

We had several family members who traveled from all over the country for a wedding. The house was well-appointed & beautifully decorated! There isn't a ton of privacy, so staying with people you know well is recommended. ;) Would stay again. I loved the close walk/hike to the arboretum & our fall stay allowed us to pick apples from the backyard! Great walking area & easy to get around B-ham.

Incredibly unique!

This is not your average property, it's an experience! Our stay was a daily treasure hunt, from discovering the owner's craftsmanship utilizing reclaimed materials throughout the entire home to the home decor to the strategically placed surprises to the comfortable deck and back yard. Our family very much enjoyed our stay.
