A quiet, tidy little craftsman home 20 miles from the Mt. Baker National Forest and 40 miles from the Mt. Baker Ski Area. The Middle Fork of the Nooksack, and it's eagles and salmon, runs a short walk to the north. We have a strict cancellation policy but we are really pretty accommodating. If you cancel within 30 days of your stay we will bank those lost funds for future use at any available time in the future. A final note: we require that you be vaccinated and boosted. Hope you understand. The space Our Guesthouse is a tidy little craftsman home, trimmed with locally milled alder which was logged when the home was built in 2013. It's set on 2 wooded acres in the Foothills area of Whatcom County, 100 yards from the Middle Fork of the Nooksack River and 20 miles from the Mt. Baker/Snoqualmie National Forest. Fishing the river or local lakes in season or walking the river are options. Eagles are abundant on the river and in the area during the fall and winter salmon runs and our area is a favorite location for photographers. We've viewed beaver swimming upstream, we've had black bear and cougar through the property, and resident deer and eagles. It's pretty wonderful. The Guesthouse sleeps 4 comfortably with a downstairs bedroom and upstairs loft. The loft is reached by a steep stairway so please hold the handrail. Regrettably, the maximum number of guests is 2/bed, 4 total. Please understand, it's built for that number, don't ask to add an overnight guest. There is a full kitchen however no television or clothes washer/dryer. We are happy to let you use our washer/dryer if you like. Verizon Wireless gets good reception but we can't speak for other providers. We'll keep you in coffee, pancake mix and oatmeal. Regrettably, no pets. Wifi is DSL so, while it streams movies, communicates email, all the normal stuff with no problems, there has been a recent issue with Zoom, specifically. Zoom recently boosted it's resolution rendering our Ziply speed of 12Mbs as insufficient. Apparently Zoom requires 25Mbs. Google Meet seems fine, however you stand to lose video with Zoom while the audio still works. We wish this weren't the case; we want fiber out in our neck of the woods, however we're learning to be patient. And we are on the same Ziply services next door and, notwithstanding occasional burps in service, do okay with all of our normal use. Guest access The Guesthouse is yours during your stay. We are on the adjacent 5 acres on the next property. It's down a little path toward the river and we would be happy to let you use our clothes washer/dryer if it is helpful. Bring a book, binoculars and your walking shoes. Easy access to the Middle Fork is available. Other things to note A charcoal BBQ is on the west deck. We have what you need to grill your food, no need to buy charcoal or bring special equipment. And, over the years, we have photographed a variety of wildlife in the area so drive carefully when you reach our road and keep your camera at hand.
