Home on the Border - Modern home 5 minutes from Canadian border

Modern home with comfort and function in mind. This bright and open, downtown Blaine rambler will be your home away from home. Conveniently located 5 minutes to the border and 20 minutes to Bellingham. Walking distance to the water, restaurants and local parks. Two bedrooms w/private baths. Queen murphy bed too! (Portable crib as well)

Situated on a fully fenced, large, grassy lot, there's plenty of room to play in the backyard or BBQ on the deck. The space is ideal for families and friends. Pet friendly.

This house was in the perfect location for us, as we were flying into Seattle and spending a day in Vancouver. We were able to cross the border easily in the morning without any issues. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The owner was very easy to communicate with and answered all questions promptly. I highly recommend!

This was a beautiful property in a quiet neighborhood very near the Canadian border. Unfortunately, we were there for a funeral and didn't get to enjoy the two beautiful decks that were furnished on either side of the house. The house was well appointed , but we basically just slept there. We wished we'd had more time to enjoy it and the beautiful area.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Beds were comfortable and comfortable living room. A few issues :not enough toilet paper and the cleaners didn’t do a good job : unwiped counters, hair in the bath tub and Kleenex box left to look full but only 1 tissue in the box. But in saying all that we would stay here again. The location is an easy walk to town. The host was very communicative.

I would highly recommend this home. Clean, comfortable and so many little extra’s. Spice drawer was full, desktop computer available for use, huge backyard, beds are comfy and the soaking tub was my favorite and TV is living room and each bedroom. Stay was perfect.

We had a great stay. The house was very clean, directions were clear as what to do, empty garbage, recycle, etc. The home was exactly as shown in the pictures. The kitchen was stocked with so many extras--a full spice drawer with tons of spices (none of them were past the best buy date), games, two coffee pots, decaf coffee, etc. There was also some supplies probably left by otbers such as saran wrap, aluminum foil, that we could use. The kitchen also had lots of pots and pans. The neighborhood was very quiet. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

This was a good location, especially with kids. Big fenced back yard plus a playground less than a block away. Rode bikes to the downtown Blaine area. Easy drive to Birch Bay park, Semiahmoo Spit, Bellingham, and Vancouver. The house was perfectly fine! Big walk in closet made for a good toddler bedroom.

My partner and I, along with four other family members, booked this home for a wedding weekend in Blaine. Before our arrival, Tori was incredibly communicative, providing clear instructions for check-in, details about the home, and house rules, making everything easy and stress-free. When we arrived, we were greeted by the peaceful serenity of the neighborhood and a spacious, well-maintained home, exactly as pictured. It was the perfect size for the six of us to enjoy a few relaxing days together. The kids loved the large, wrap-around backyard, while the adults took full advantage of the BBQ area and soaked in the calming sounds of nature. The location was ideal—a short five-minute walk to the beach and a scenic 20-minute stroll into town along Peace Portal Drive. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable, and we highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking a quiet escape. We can’t wait to book this home again in the future.

What impressed me was the overall cleanliness of the Facility. This was truly a place away from home that made you feel comfortable. It fulfilled ALL my expectations. Note that the Facility had two showerheads in the main bathroom and is well lighted. Location was perfect for accessing restaurants and the Blaine Dairy, Eadaleen's makes outstanding ice cream. The owner is truly friendly and makes you feel welcome. Thank you!! David C.
