Craftsman Guesthouse

The Guesthouse is 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 or walking the river are options. Eagles are abundant during the 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 monitor if you have small children. Regrettably, the maximum number of guests, whether adult or child, is 2/bed, 4 total. There is a full kitchen but currently no television or clothes washer/dryer. Verizon Wireless gets good reception but we can’t speak for other providers. High-speed internet, coffee, pancake mix and oatmeal are always provided. Regrettably, no pets.
Situated on a dead end country road, the house is nestled between the Middle Fork of the Nooksack River and the northern flank of the Van Zandt Dike in an area that boasts delightful views and abundant wildlife. Walk the trails and river, watch the eagles, photograph the deer that wander through. It is a quiet space with pleasant country neighbors. While it’s just fine to sit inside and watch the sun go down, a significant number of guests come to either hike the trails, ski the slopes or photograph the eagles. There are several excellent locations for the latter within a very short distance. We’d be glad to help you locate them.
Our guesthouse is a convenient location for a number of noteworthy outdoor events that occur in our county over the course of the year. In February, the Mt. Baker Ski Area–which holds the
