The Neighborhood:
Peaceful & Local in the Heart of Bellingham
Located in a quiet residential pocket of Bellingham’s Columbia neighborhood, this home offers the perfect mix of comfort and convenience. You’ll be staying in one of the city’s most beloved historic areas—where tree-lined streets, character homes, and a strong sense of community create a peaceful, welcoming vibe.
Just blocks away, you can walk or bike to local gems like Elizabeth Station (a cozy beer and cider spot), Squalicum Creek Park, or nearby trails leading to the waterfront. The home is also a short drive or bike ride from downtown Bellingham, where you’ll find farmers markets, restaurants, galleries, and the charming Fairhaven district.
Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch or heading out to explore the bay, the neighborhood offers a relaxed and authentic Bellingham experience—close to everything, but just tucked away enough to feel like a true retreat.
Getting Around:
You’ll be staying in one of Bellingham’s most walkable and bike-friendly neighborhoods. The Columbia area is known for its peaceful tree-lined streets, friendly community vibe, and easy access to parks, trails, and local shops. It’s perfect for guests who prefer to explore without a car.
There’s a bike lane just a block away, and you’re a short ride from downtown, the Bellingham waterfront, and Western Washington University. The Interurban and Bay to Baker trails are also nearby for longer scenic rides or walks.
Public transit is easy too—Whatcom Transit Authority (WTA) buses run frequently through the area, with routes that connect you to Fairhaven, Bellis Fair Mall, the airport, and other key destinations.
If you do bring a car, free off-street parking is available on site for your convenience.
Whether you’re walking, biking, taking the bus, or driving, this spot makes it easy to get around—while keeping things low-stress and eco-friendly.

We do not live on site, but our team is available via chat or email to assist you with anything that comes up during your stay.
