You'll love this nature-filled getaway in the heart of Bellingham. Brought to you by the property manager, creators of inspired retreats. One of 2 units in The Victorian on Garden. Perfectly located, blocks from downtown's best restaurants, parks, and shops, this dog-friendly retreat will be the perfect home base for your PNW adventures. Enjoy all that Bellingham has to offer -- from the mountains to the bay -- and recharge in this lively sanctuary. With 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, the upstairs apartment is perfect for solo travelers, families, friends, or couples.
The upstairs apartment at The Victorian on Garden sleeps up to 5 guests in 2 bedrooms. Enter through the garden and follow the rear staircase to your home away from home. The apartment features a lovely private patio with views of downtown.
Enter into the charming, well-stocked kitchen, where you will find everything you need for a delightful stay. Whether you plan to cook a lot or just want to enjoy our fantastic selection of teas, coffee, and treats, we've got you covered. The full kitchen also includes a washer-dryer, which you will be welcome to use (laundry detergent included).
From the kitchen, head through the hall into the sun-soaked dining room. Make your own tunes on the keyboard or enjoy the sunsets overlooking the patio. With a second door to the patio, the dining room allows you to easily enjoy your favorite meal or beverage outside. The private patio bar overlooks downtown Bellingham and the property's lovely gardens.
Back inside, as you head back towards the kitchen, you will pass the apartment's bathroom. The full bathroom is fully-stocked -- you won't even want to use the toiletries you brought. With everything from shampoo and conditioner to argan oil and face wash, we've got you covered. And, there's no need to feel guilty using our tree-free bamboo toilet paper. Be sure to take the opportunity to soak in the vintage clawfoot tub -- we've even provided an assortment of bath salts for you to enjoy.
Off to the other side of the kitchen, you'll find the cozy living room and entrances to both bedrooms. Modern, plush, and soothing, the living room is the perfect place to unwind. Enjoy a book from our collection, play a game, watch your favorite show or movie (Netflix, Fubo, HBO Max and Disney+ included), or peruse our collection of DVDs.
From the living room, you can access either bedroom. Each boasts its own unique character. Feeling stately? You will love the antique, four-post bed in the first bedroom. A beautiful centerpiece of the bedroom, this king-sized bed will provide a lovely place to rest and recharge -- especially with our luxurious, local, spa-like, supple sheets. This bedroom also has its own TV, perfect for cuddling up and watching a movie or show.
The second bedroom is truly one of a kind. Lush and zen, you can't help but relax in this room. With an amazing assortment of plants, you will feel surrounded by nature. Feeling creative? Take a seat at the grand, imported desk, full of drawing supplies and a wonderfully meditative Budda board. The antique, metal frame bed rounds out the room. This queen features the same, supple sheets, which will surely have you sleeping soundly. Need an extra bed? You'll find a twin air mattress in the closet of this bedroom.
While you are with us, be sure to enjoy the lovely grounds of The Victorian on Garden. The gardens are full of treasures -- from luscious lavender to towering bamboo -- every corner holds something of interest.
Please be sure to include all people and pets (as adults) in your guest count at booking. You should count pets as adults in your guest count. If this causes you to exceed the maximum guest count, please reach out.
-----------------------------------
We look forward to hosting you and hope to provide you, and all of our guests, a five-star experience. To this end, we ask our guests to follow a few, simple rules to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. By staying with us, you are agreeing to follow these rules. If you have any questions, please reach out to us.
Guests on Property. Please make sure your guest count is accurate and includes all people and pets (listed as adults) that will be accompanying you on the property. No additional guests or pets are allowed, unless previously approved by us. The nightly rate varies based on occupancy. We charge a supplemental fee for each guest to cover additional services, amenities, linens, utilities, and wear and tear. This fee will be calculated automatically when you update your guest count on your booking platform. If you bring more guests than are listed on your reservation (or approved by us), you agree to pay double the applicable guest fee, and if your group is disruptive, your group may be asked to leave the property and forfeit the remainder of your reservation without a refund. You are responsible for all members of your reservation, in addition to anyone who may be invited or allowed on the premises by you or any member of your reservation.
No Parties. No parties or gatherings with outside guests are allowed within the home or on the premises, unless previously approved in writing by the host. If approved, events may incur additional fees, including additional guest fees and/or cleaning fees, and guests may be required to provide supplemental insurance coverage. All of this should be negotiated in advance with the host.
Pets. The property is pet-friendly. Although we love all pets, we only allow dogs. We ask all guests traveling with dogs to be respectful of other guests -- to keep their dogs on leash when outside or in public areas, to pick up after them, and not to leave them unattended for extended periods of time. You agree to assume full responsibility for any animals you bring or allow on the property. If your pet causes any injury or harm to other guests or to the property, you will be 100% liable for any necessary treatment, care, or repair. No aggressive or loud animals are permitted. If your pup struggles with these issues, please keep them at home. Disruptive, barking, and/or aggressive pets will be asked to leave, and you may forfeit any remaining nights on their reservation without a refund. If you are traveling with a dog, please let us know when you book or inquire. There is a non-refundable pet fee for each dog to cover additional wear and tear and cleaning. If you list your pet as an adult in your guest count at booking, this fee will automatically be added to your reservation. If you are unsure whether the fee has been assessed, please ask. If there is a problem, we can charge the correct fee separately after your booking is confirmed. If your plans change, you can easily add or remove pets from your reservation. We appreciate your cooperation with this policy, as it benefits us a great deal to know in advance if you are staying with pets so that we can plan for additional cleaning. If you bring a pet without notifying us or in violation of this policy, you may be subject to a penalty, in addition to the applicable pet fees.
No smoking or vaping. The property is smoke-free. There is absolutely no smoking or vaping (tobacco, cannabis, or other substances) or illegal drug use allowed inside the property, including in any screened porches or in any interior areas. A $500 smoke remediation fee will be assessed if you or any members of your group violate this policy. If you smoke, do so outside, away from entrances to the property, and dispose of any refuse outside.
Golden rule. In general, we try to follow the golden rule: treat others how you would want to be treated. To that end, please treat the property, its contents, and its neighbors with respect. Be mindful of your presence: all of our homes are privately owned and have full-time neighbors. When you are in the property, please be gentle with furnishings and amenities. If you use something, please put it back when you are done. Be respectful of the neighbors and the community. Do not create a potential hazard or nuisance to others. Please keep noise levels to a minimum, especially during our quiet hours, between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. If you are in a property that shares walls or floors/ceilings with another property, please be especially mindful: loud voices, heavy footsteps or rolling suitcases, and loud music or TV can easily carry. If we receive a complaint regarding noise or nuisance from a neighbor, we will let you know promptly so that you can address the issue. If you are unable to mitigate the noise and remain a nuisance to other guests or neighbors, you may be asked to leave, forfeiting the remainder of your reservation without refund. In addition, if you create a disruption that causes us to have to refund other guests’ stays or causes us to incur other costs, you will be responsible for those expenses as well.
Early Check-In/Late Check-Out. Early check-in or late check-out may be available for an additional charge. If you are interested in either, please inquire with us. All requests must be approved by us in advance and in writing. We will do our best to accommodate your requests and appreciate your respect for our turnover windows. Please do not expect to be able to check-in early unless we have told you in advance that we can accommodate it, and please do not overstay your check-out time. The latter is particularly disruptive as it interferes with our ability to prepare the property for the next guests. If you do not vacate by the check-out time (or late check-out time as agreed by us), you will be billed for a late departure fee of up to $50 per hour. We may also remove all occupants and their personal property from the property at your expense.
Check-out procedures. Our cleaning fee covers our costs to prepare the linens, disinfect the property, and reset it for the next guests. It is not intended to cover the clean up of excessive messes. We ask all guests to return the property to us in a reasonably
