About Stephanie Norris

I fell in love with this property when I saw it. I find that it is a very special place and relax well there. Unfortunately I work in Seattle and am unable to live there at this time. I am hoping to retire there, but in the mean time I thought it would be a wonderful place for people to go and relax and enjoy the beauty of the Northwest.

Stephanie Norris purchased this chateau / country house in 2013
Why Stephanie Norris chose Bellingham

Bellingham is a wonderful small town that is just big enough to have whatever you need: Hospital, University, Mt. Baker Theater, and Fine dining. In addition, I have always found Chuckanut Drive one of the most beautiful Drives in the world. To own property here is a dream of mine that I have been fortunately enough to realize.

Notes: I just want to enphasis that this is a luxury get away, but it is also rustic in ways. It was a 1968 cabin that has been remodeled and rebuilt. It is charming and funky. It would not compare to new construction where everything is square and makes sense. It is a wonderful get away, but if you are someone that is extremely maticulous about small details...this is not the place for you. There are places here and there that are not finished. I got the place this way and I am taking on one project at a time.

Perfect place to get away and relax! Loved my stay and the view was spectacular.

I was a little worried when I first arrived the home is located right off of Chuckanut Drive, but one you pull in the drive way and go down the stairs it feels like you leave the world behind. The home feels huge and the kitchen has everything you could need and much more!, but we ended up eating down the road at the Oyster Creek Inn which was 5 star! The master bedroom is also quite large with a shower that peeks out to the waterfall it was very cool. The home was very clean and well furnished, although you can tell that the owner is working on finishing details on the home, it was very comfortable. We were a couple, but I could see having a whole family or group of friends over it is ideal for a large group as well.
We went for walks everyday the interurban trail entrance is just a bit up the road as well as the public beach, all within a 10 minute walk. The rental manager Stephanie was very helpful and helped us with all of our questions. We would come back again! It is one of the nicest places we have stayed on VRBO. Oh, I almost forgot, the train did wake me up the first night, but I slept through it the second night. Bed was very comfy.

Amazing place

The moment I walked down the steps and saw the natural waterfall cascading next to the stairs and beyond the house, I knew this was someplace special. And then I walked through the front door. I was blown away. The water views are 180 degrees from almost anywhere in the house! Stay up late and watch the sunset burn up the sky. Wake up early and watch the moon glow across the water. I'm a weekend artist and this place was the perfect pallet. Not a better place to forget the world for a while.
