Neighborhood

The Bellingham Adventure Pad is located in Sudden Valley Gate 13. Downtown Bellingham is a quick 15 minute drive from the home. The Stimpson Family Reserve is the backyard of the Bellingham Adventure Pad, offering over 4 miles of hiking trails through a beautiful forest setting. The forest is largely undisturbed and displays characteristics of an old-growth forest, including Douglas Fir trees over 400 years old, a wide diversity of tree species, snags and decaying logs, and a complex architecture of canopy, understory, shrub layer, and tapestry of the forest floor. Since this is a Nature Reserve, unfortunately no pets are allowed on the trails. Galbraith mountain is a world class mountain destination located within riding distance of the Bellingham Adventure Pad (bike from the front door to the RD4000 - East gate entrance within a minute!). Over 65 miles of singletrack that winds through 3,000 acres overlooking the city and Bellingham Bay. Because of the quantity of trails, the mountain can handle 100’s of hikers, trail runners, horse riders, and bikers during the course of the day without trail users feeling like the trails are busy! Valley Market is the closest grocery store, which is a 5 minute drive. They offer fresh produce, gourmet cheese and meats, organic grocery items, extensive wine and craft beer selection, along with gourmet ice cream, made-to-order deli sandwiches and a hot case full of grab-n-go deli favorites! Enjoy your meal with an espresso drink or a pint of local craft beer available on tap. They can even fill growlers to go!

What a fantastic spot close to the lake and all the trail access you could hope for. Mountain biking and trail running just steps from the door. The sauna was incredibly peaceful after a day out on the trails. The kitchen was well stoked with everything we needed and the hosts were amazing. We hope to be back soon!

Very cute home. Nice open layout with 3 bedrooms for large or multiple families. Plenty of parking! The sauna was a nice added bonus and the large open windows looked out into large green trees. We hope to visit again.

This was our second time staying at this wonderful house. We love the location and how clean and well maintained the house is and the beautiful wooded lot. The interior is very clean and comfortable. Emma was a great host and we’ll be back when we visit Bellingham again!
