"Kurt & Kara, You have an extraordinary gift for hospitality and have the most restful and beautiful setting we have ever stayed in! I don't think words can adequately describe the wonderful experience we had at the Tree Frog Night.  We wish you every success as word of your incredible establishment spreads to the B&B frequenter's "must stay" lists!  If we have the privilege of returning to Bellingham, you can be sure we will hope to stay again, and we will highly recommend it to others. Thank you so much!"
Tom & Jane

In the suites, we provide a list of our Whatcom County favorites.  If you would like to get this by e-mail in advance of your stay for planning, please just ask!

Our area of the County is an outdoor enthusiast’s delight. Our property is a few minutes drive from walks along the shores of Lake Whatcom, through Whatcom Falls Park, along the Nooksack River, through Northridge Park to Big Rock Sculpture Garden, in Bloedel Donovan Park and on top of Toad Mountain. In addition, there are many other parks and natural areas not far from us. Park settings range from coast marine tidelands to lake shores to the beautiful Canada-US Peace Arch Park (http://www.cob.org/services/recreation/parks-trails/index.aspx).
