Inside the Farmhouse
Step into a warm, thoughtfully prepared space, especially welcoming after a winter day out. The queen bed is made with soft, premium bedding. The full kitchen is ready for slow breakfasts or a home-cooked dinner. The living area invites you to stretch out, curl up, or simply be still.
There’s no rushing here, just space to unwind at your own pace.
Outside Is Yours to Explore
Start your morning with coffee on the patio and fresh country air. Take a peaceful walk around open pasture and farm views. In winter, the farm feels extra still and quiet, perfect for slowing your mind down and letting the day move at a gentler pace.
Your farmhouse includes a private entrance and a dedicated parking spot just steps from the door.
Private Hot Tub
After a peaceful day on the farm, or a little exploring in Lynden or Bellingham, treat yourself to a soak in our guest-only hot tub. Open 8 am to 9 pm daily. You’ll receive a link after booking to reserve your personal time slot. This keeps your soak private, and it also helps us manage safety and liability because we need to know exactly who’s using it and when. It’s also not a commercial hot tub, so the schedule gives it time to re-heat, filter, and stay properly balanced between sessions.

Farm Store
During your stay, swing by our small on-site farm store. It’s stocked with Oostema Wagyu beef, sausage, and fresh eggs, raised and packaged right here on the farm, plus other local favorites.
What to Bring
The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and cooking essentials, so you don’t need to bring anything but your favorite ingredients. Forgot something? Just ask, we’re nearby and happy to help.
Pet Policy
We welcome one well-behaved dog under 50 lbs with prior approval and a pet fee. Dogs must be kept leashed, quiet, off the furniture, and supervised at all times. Please add your pet to the reservation to view the fee and confirm approval.

The Farmstead Experience
Oostema Farmstead is a real, working Wagyu farm. You will meet the Wagyu cattle, guests enjoying their own quiet corner, or hear the occasional hum of farm life, but things here stay peaceful and low-key.
We host other guests too, but it never feels crowded. There’s plenty of space to explore, or just stay tucked into your little haven.
Stay Longer, Unwind Deeper
The longer you stay, the more you’ll enjoy. Guests who book 3 nights or more receive added value, more time to soak, more meals made with Wagyu, more quiet mornings with nothing to do.
