A Home away from Home

5 of 5
Submitted: May 13, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
As a woman travelling alone, I was looking for a cozy, safe haven after a hectic daytime schedule. This lovely property offered every comfort for a peaceful stay. After being there a few days I felt like I was quite at home. The owner has provided and thought of every nicety, coffee, fresh cream in the fridge, chocolates, lots of fresh fruit-even soaps. As a vegetarian I especially appreciated the lovely selection of fruit. It was wonderful to be able to cook my meals and not be at the mercy of restaurants.
The gardens are spectacular, so much was in bloom and so cheerful. The kitties that frequent the garden regularly came to the door to say hello, which I loved since I was missing my own kitty.
The area is so quiet, nothing is heard at night, very peaceful. If you have the pleasure of meeting the owner while you are there, you will learn as much as you want about gardening and flowers. A very pleasant conversation.
If you need a break of a few days from a hectic life, stay here awhile and restore yourself.
I hope to return soon.

We Loved Our Stay

5 of 5
Submitted: May 1, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We had such a great time staying at this adorable little apartment. Two friendly cats greeted us when we arrived. It is located on a quiet street near walking/biking trails and the apartment is surrounded by beautiful container gardens, camellia trees, rose bushes and iron work.

The apartment itself was immaculate and there were great extra touches like chocolates, a fresh fruit bowl, and organic cream for ones coffee. We didn't cook here but everything you would need to cook was provided. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to visit again next time we're in Bellingham. This was the perfect place to relax after a busy day of activities.

Perfect Place

Submitted: January 21, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
My husband and I were looking for a great place to stay in Fairhaven, Bellingham. and we found it! Our daughter lives there and we often visit so this is a perfect find for us. Marc's sense of design and decor is terrific and the whole house had a 5 star feel and look. He also added the best extra's such as Starbucks coffee, organic cream and beautiful chocolates. Both my husband and I were extremely impressed.
The bed was wonderful and the little Amish Fireplace added the perfect touch to the living space. Marc was absolutely a gem and we have already recommended this little jewel to our friends and family.
Thanks Marc for making our holiday stay such a joy!

Elegant and Comfy rental

Submitted: July 27, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
I saw this terrific find when looking for a place to stay in Bellingham. I wanted all the comforts of home and did not want to stay in a hotel. The apartment has it all--beautiful decor, comfortable furnishings, and all the necessities of home. I like to cook my own meals and with a fully equipped kitchen, I was able to do that. The grounds are simply lovely!

This is a perfect place for mature adults who like the privacy and comfort that most ordinary places cannot provide. If you are up for a wonderful scenic walk on the many walking trails in town, Joe's Garden's is a must for some yummy fruits and veggies.

I will definitely be coming back!

We had such a great stay! Love the gardens and all the blue pots. The beautifully furnished apartment was cozy and elegant. This apartment was stocked with all of the essentials we seek in a vacation spot. The proximity to freeways, walking trails, and downtown made this the perfect location. We will be back again.
