Neighborhood
When you arrive to this cabin after climbing the steep hills of Lookout Mountain, you will no doubt have gained some elevation! This particular area of Sudden Valley is unique due to its topography. Most residents are driving AWD & 4x4 vehicles for a reason. The cabin is situated on a peaceful cul-de-sac with plenty of privacy. The ecosystem is certainly alive with plenty of biodiversity right outside your doorstep. The people may not be the most out-going. Some are of course, but are generally very respectable and friendly. There are a mix of cabins and family residences that give the neighborhood a safe and laid-back environment. Sudden Valley is distinctly its own community and has a very PNW vibe. Additionally, the Sudden Valley Community Center is nearby in Gate 2, which has a pool & fitness center which you can purchase affordable day passes for entry.
Transit
The pleasant community of Sudden Valley is located on the Southwest shore of Lake Whatcom, which is 15 minutes from the city of Bellingham to your West. Heading South from Bellingham will lead you to the historic Fairhaven District and just a bit further South will lead you to the beautiful coastal Chuckanut Mountains which have unrivaled views of the San Juan Islands! There is plenty to explore in the North Puget Sound. To the Northeast of Sudden Valley is Mount Baker and the North Cascades National Park. On your way to the North Cascades, you'll pass through the best of what Whatcom County has to offer as you ascend to the mountains. The small towns of Maple Falls & Glacier will keep you fueled up as you travel. Of course, you can take a trip about one hour North on I-5 and head to Vancouver, B.C. and get a big city experience. In between the Bellingham area and the border are plenty of growing communities, such as, Ferndale & Blaine which have plenty to offer as you travel North. This cabin is certainly located in an excellent neck of the woods, and you will be able to have an authentic Pacific Northwest experience!

The cabin is nestled in the woods which feels private and special. The hosts communication leaves a lot to be desired. They would not respond, say they would check on a question and never get back to me, and respond to one but not both of my questions several times - it was very frustrating! Also, the driveway is STEEP! One of our cars got stuck (zero ice or snow). They say it’s for anyone but I’d say only go down if it’s all wheel drive.

Gorgeous location, nicely furnished place. The skylights were cute and the place gave great cabin vibes. Definitely would recommend all wheel drive only for the driveway in any weather, it was very steep and my car almost didn’t make it! Lots of rules around pets so if you are bringing them, just be prepared for that!

Was a nice little place to get away from the city. Hot tub was very nice and maintained. Check out instructions were a little mixed though.

We had an absolutely lovely time - such a beautiful place to stay. The views are fantastic and it was so cozy having a fire and watching a movie. The hot tub was great for the two of us - not a super deep tub but a perfect way to relax after a day of adventures. We would love to come back

This cabin has a lovely view of the Sudden Valley and lake. It has a very private feel. I found myself able to get a lot of writing done whilst wistfully watching the mist rolling through the fir trees. Everything was clean and relaxing. And it's close enough to Bellingham to make for easy forays into the city.
