Property details

About 2562 Lake Whatcom Blvd

If your kid is headed to Western and you’re dreaming of something more than hotel rooms and rushed visits—this might be the opportunity you didn’t know you were waiting for. A true Lake Whatcom cottage, ready to welcome you for long weekends, summer breaks, or spontaneous getaways. It’s the kind of place where you host lakeside dinners, watch the sunset from the dock, and wake up to still water and quiet mornings. There’s a flat grassy lawn for yard games, a spacious two-car garage for all your gear, and when you’re not here, it performs as a successful short-term rental. Waterfront under $1M is rare—but a setup like this is rarer still. It’s peaceful, private, and instantly grounding—the kind of place that stays with you.
