Another great stay here with our young family. A clean and quiet apartment with everything you would need to relax and unwind without having to bring the kitchen sink. Nice and close to hiking and biking trails and Lake Padden. We’re glad to have found this place and now only stay here.

The apartment was very nicely appointed with good appliances and cabinets and comfortable furniture. It was 5-15 minutes away from several of Bellinham's wonderful city parks, the bay, and both downtown and historic downtown. Our host was very accommodating by answering emails promptly. The neighborhood was quiet and private. We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Galbraith Basecamp

Very clean, comfy and stocked with everything you could possibly need. We came to Bellingham to ride mountain bikes in Galbraith mountain and Chris’s place was the perfect access point. We had storage for the bikes in his shop and access to tire pump/tools if needed. We would definitely stay here again!
