You'll love this bright and airy getaway in the heart of Bellingham. Brought to you by the property manager, creators of inspired retreats. One of two apartments in The Victorian on Garden, a historic 1895 home. Perfectly located, just blocks from downtown's best restaurants, parks, and shops, this dog-friendly retreat will be the perfect home base for your PNW adventures. Enjoy all that Bellingham has to offer -from the mountains to the bay- and recharge in this lively sanctuary. With one bedroom and one bath, it is perfect for solo travelers, friends or families.
Enter through the garden and follow the path to your home away from home. The apartment features a spa-like bathroom and spacious living areas.
Enter into the charming, well-stocked kitchen, where you will find everything you need for a delightful stay. Whether you plan to cook a lot or just want to enjoy our fantastic selection of teas, coffee, and treats, we've got you covered. The full kitchen also includes a washer-dryer, which you will be welcome to use (laundry detergent included).
From the kitchen, head into the sun-soaked dining room. Make your own tunes on the piano or enjoy the view of the garden. The dining room is the heart of the apartment, with access to living room, bedroom, and kitchen from it.
Pass through the dining room into the window-filled living room. Pick a CD or record from our extensive collection and steal away to the airy, sun-soaked nook. Enjoy a book, meditate, or play Wordle from your private garden-view oasis. Catch up on your favorite shows on the RokuTV or gather with your travel mates — there’s plenty of seating.
Looking to rest? You will love the charming bedroom with a cozy queen-sized bed; it’s a lovely place to rest and recharge -- especially with our luxurious, local, spa-like, supple sheets. This bedroom also has its own TV, perfect for cuddling up and watching a movie or show.
Step outside the bedroom into the spa-like bathroom. The full bathroom is fully-stocked -- you won't even want to use the toiletries you brought. With everything from shampoo and conditioner to argan oil and face wash, we've got you covered. And, there's no need to feel guilty using our tree-free bamboo toilet paper. Be sure to take the opportunity to soak in the vintage clawfoot tub -- we've even provided local bath salts for you to enjoy.
While you are with us, be sure to enjoy the lovely grounds of The Victorian on Garden. The gardens are full of treasures -- from luscious lavender to towering bamboo -- every corner holds something of interest.
Please be sure to include all people and pets (as adults) in your guest count at booking. You should count pets as adults in your guest count. If this causes you to exceed the maximum guest count, please reach out.
-----------------------------------
We look forward to hosting you and hope to provide you, and all of our guests, a five-star experience. To this end, we ask our guests to follow a few, simple rules to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. By staying with us, you are agreeing to follow these rules. If you have any questions, please reach out to us.
Guests on Property. Please make sure your guest count is accurate and includes all people and pets (listed as adults) that will be accompanying you on the property. No additional guests or pets are allowed, unless previously approved by us. The nightly rate varies based on occupancy. We charge a supplemental fee for each guest to cover additional services, amenities, linens, utilities, and wear and tear. This fee will be calculated automatically when you update your guest count on your booking platform. If you bring more guests than are listed on your reservation (or approved by us), you agree to pay double the applicable guest fee, and if your group is disruptive, your group may be asked to leave the property and forfeit the remainder of your reservation without a refund. You are responsible for all members of your reservation, in addition to anyone who may be invited or allowed on the premises by you or any member of your reservation.
No Parties. No parties or gatherings with outside guests are allowed within the home or on the premises, unless previously approved in writing by the host. If approved, events may incur additional fees, including additional guest fees and/or cleaning fees, and guests may be required to provide supplemental insurance coverage. All of this should be negotiated in advance with the host.
Pets. The property is pet-friendly. Although we love all pets, we only allow dogs. We ask all guests traveling with dogs to be respectful of other guests -- to keep their dogs on leash when outside or in public areas, to pick up after them, and not to leave them unattended for extended periods of time. You agree to assume full responsibility for any animals you bring or allow on the property. If your pet causes any injury or harm to other guests or to the property, you will be 100% liable for any necessary treatment, care, or repair. No aggressive or loud animals are permitted. If your pup struggles with these issues, please keep them at home. Disruptive, barking, and/or aggressive pets will be asked to leave, and you may forfeit any remaining nights on their reservation without a refund. If you are traveling with a dog, please let us know when you book or inquire. There is a non-refundable pet fee for each dog to cover additional wear and tear and cleaning. If you list your pet as an adult in your guest count at booking, this fee will automatically be added to your reservation. If you are unsure whether the fee has been assessed, please ask. If there is a problem, we can charge the correct fee separately after your booking is confirmed. If your plans change, you can easily add or remove pets from your reservation. We appreciate your cooperation with this policy, as it benefits us a great deal to know in advance if you are staying with pets so that we can plan for additional cleaning. If you bring a pet without notifying us or in violation of this policy, you may be subject to a penalty, in addition to the applicable pet fees.
No smoking or vaping. The property is smoke-free. There is absolutely no smoking or vaping (tobacco, cannabis, or other substances) or illegal drug use allowed inside the property, including in any screened porches or in any interior areas. A $500 smoke remediation fee will be assessed if you or any members of your group violate this policy. If you smoke, do so outside, away from entrances to the property, and dispose of any refuse outside.
Golden rule. In general, we try to follow the golden rule: treat others how you would want to be treated. To that end, please treat the property, its contents, and its neighbors with respect. Be mindful of your presence: all of our homes are privately owned and have full-time neighbors. When you are in the property, please be gentle with furnishings and amenities. If you use something, please put it back when you are done. Be respectful of the neighbors and the community. Do not create a potential hazard or nuisance to others. Please keep noise levels to a minimum, especially during our quiet hours, between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. If you are in a property that shares walls or floors/ceilings with another property, please be especially mindful: loud voices, heavy footsteps or rolling suitcases, and loud music or TV can easily carry. If we receive a complaint regarding noise or nuisance from a neighbor, we will let you know promptly so that you can address the issue. If you are unable to mitigate the noise and remain a nuisance to other guests or neighbors, you may be asked to leave, forfeiting the remainder of your reservation without refund. In addition, if you create a disruption that causes us to have to refund other guests’ stays or causes us to incur other costs, you will be responsible for those expenses as well.
Early Check-In/Late Check-Out. Early check-in or late check-out may be available for an additional charge. If you are interested in either, please inquire with us. All requests must be approved by us in advance and in writing. We will do our best to accommodate your requests and appreciate your respect for our turnover windows. Please do not expect to be able to check-in early unless we have told you in advance that we can accommodate it, and please do not overstay your check-out time. The latter is particularly disruptive as it interferes with our ability to prepare the property for the next guests. If you do not vacate by the check-out time (or late check-out time as agreed by us), you will be billed for a late departure fee of up to $50 per hour. We may also remove all occupants and their personal property from the property at your expense.
Check-out procedures. Our cleaning fee covers our costs to prepare the linens, disinfect the property, and reset it for the next guests. It is not intended to cover the clean up of excessive messes. We ask all guests to return the property to us in a reasonably clean condition. Before you go, we ask that you wash your dishes, make sure trash is put in bins (you don’t have to take it out, but please don’t leave trash strewn around the place – put it in a receptacle), and clean up any spills or messes that happened during your stay. We will take care of the towels and linens – leave dirty towels in a pile on the bathroom floor and dirty beds unmade. Also, please return items that were moved during your stay to their original places. If you leave an excessive mess, you will be charged for our team’s additional cleaning time.
Do not move furniture or decor. Guests should NOT redecorate during their stay, as this risks causing damage to the property and requires additional cleaning time to restore the listing to its original condition. Guests who have moved furniture or decorations during their stay and failed to return them to their original location upon checkout may be charged an additio
