Escape to the trees and unwind by the water at this peaceful lakefront retreat on Cain Lake. Tucked between Bellingham and Mount Vernon, this cozy two-bedroom home is perfect for couples, solo travelers, or small families looking to recharge in nature.
Start your day with coffee on the spacious deck surrounded by evergreens, head down the path to your private cedar sauna or take a paddleboard or kayak out on the calm, swimmable lake. Try your hand at fishing this stocked, non-motorized lake.
In the evening, wind down around the gas fire pit under the stars.
Inside, the home is bright, simple, and thoughtfully furnished for comfort and ease. The open kitchen and living area make cooking and relaxing feel connected, and sliding doors open to a covered and open deck, extending your living space into the forest.
The primary bedroom features a king-size bed, while the second bedroom includes a comfy double bed and a dedicated desk—great for remote work or school. You'll also find a full bathroom with a shower/tub combo and a TV in the living room for cozy movie nights.
When you’re ready to explore, head to Galbraith Mountain for world-class mountain biking and hiking, or take a quick drive to Alger Alp Trail for a quiet forest loop with peek-a-boo views. You’re less than 30 minutes to both Bellingham and Mount Vernon, with easy day trips to Mount Baker, Chuckanut Drive, the Canadian border and scenic coastal trails.
