The Office- Cabin With Pasture View
This is my third time staying here. The perfect basecamp for anything in the Bellingham area! So quiet and peaceful. Very accessible to town, yet quiet solitude. Had a great night's sleep. Cabin is spotless. Everytime while coming and going was able to enjoy the goats/sheep. Bumped into Kari this time and had a wonderful conversation. Very personable and accommodating. Coming back in Dec.

Loft Cabin with Staircase of Death
Quiet, easy commute from Bellingham; clean and cozy with perfectly serviceable amenities. Of note for potential guests: this loft cabin has what we affectionately termed "the staircase of death"...essentially a ladder with slippery round wooden dowels (painful to bare feet) up to a loft space with a low ceiling and awkward flooring. If you have any mobility/flexibility issues whatsoever, consider the other property "The Office" which is lighter and brighter and one level. Additionally, the electrical is a little bit janky with various extension cords and 'creativity". All this aside, it's a great little getaway, perhaps on the higher end of the price point for what you get, but still an enjoyable space or home base while exploring Mt. Baker.

The Office- Cabin With Pasture View
I've stayed on this property before but in the other cabin. Both sites incredibly clean. Incredibly quiet. Incredibly peaceful. Had a wonderful time hanging out with the goats. Coming back in three weeks.

Kari's place is great and in such a beautiful area, it was the perfect stop on our trip. We appreciated all of the amenities in the tiny home and Kari was extremely communicative throughout the stay. We also loved spending time with the goats and sheep!

The Playhouse- Cabin In The Woods
Great spot for relaxing!
My friends and I had an amazing time at Kari's property. We had biked from Seattle to Bellingham (as part of RSVP) and were looking for a place to relax and recuperate for the night. We rented both cabins on the site, enjoyed the very hot sauna, warm showers, kitchen, and cute goats. It was a colder night and the heaters + wood stove helped us stay warm. Everything was very well laid out for a comfortable stay. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy everything!
