About this property

Modern Dream Lake Samish Waterfront Home

High Ceilings and Large windows make this home a place where the weight of the world fades away.

There is one bedroom with a queen bed, one queen size sleeper sofa (with a gel mattress) in the great room as well as a blow up queen mattress. A great place for two to six for a fun weekend.

My 'Girly Industrial' house theme is expressed in the pink accents, hand painted black peonies on the grey concrete floors to the truss joist with car-decking for the ceiling creating a loft like space.

I put in 'old lady' steps to easily get into the water off the dock so more are able to enjoy the lake on a hot day.

My house is designed for accessibility no curb for the shower 36 inch wide doors and it is all on one level. I brought my friend who is in a wheel chair for a weekend and she was happy to be so independent. For further details please call.

I am not always at a computer ( I am somewhat of a luddite) so my response time is not instant. I am at my computer on Mondays. Please feel free to call if time is of the essence. that is the best way to reach me.

Excellent experience

Stayed 3 nights. Really enjoyed the place. Wish we could have been at the home more to enjoy the lake, but we were visiting family so not at the property itself except to sleep. Comfy, clean, would recommend for a couple traveling without kids.

Beautiful lake house!

My husband and I and our two dogs had the best week at Jennifer’s lake house. It was the perfect location for easy access to downtown Bellingham and the Port! Jennifer has excellent style and an artistic flair that shows in every aspect of her house. We will definitely be back!

Cross country wedding success

We had to travel from Michigan to Bellingham for a wedding. This space was the perfect option for us. Quiet, calm, clean and so easy. The deep tub & rain shower were highlights, as was the view of the lake! It's a couples retreat for sure. The location just off the highway made it simple for us out-of-towners to get around easily. Would stay again.

Stunning

This was perfectly perfect in every way. From the stunning views to the comfortable bed, great shower, and bathtub. We could not have asked for better. There is a large dining room table that can easily accommodate the whole family for dinner. But the lake itself is the star of the show and don’t forget there’s a beautiful baby grand piano.

Beautiful home outside Bellingham, Washington

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay in Jennifer's lovely and comfortable Lake Samish home. The location was the perfect home base as we explored North Cascades NP and the San Juan Islands. I would definitely stay here again the next time I visit the area.

We loved it!

We spent three nights in this house and loved every minute of it. The view is glorious, the art is wonderful and the house is really well-designed and very comfortable. Jen was a great communicator. She gave us just the right amount of information and was happy to help is we had any questions or concerns (we had none). We hope to come back and stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Randall

Host profile image
I am an interior designer based in Seattle since 1975. Since 2020 I have been managing my projects from afar and working predominately from my Bellingham office.

In 2009 I designed and began building this house on Lake Samish. Fulfilling a life long dream of designing and building my own home. I tease my clients that I have had 40 years of practice on them when they see my house and like it.

I love my house and I enjoy sharing it with others..

Why they chose this property

I grew up on the lake I lived across West Lake Samish Drive (up on the hillaisw from this property) where my family still lives. They have lived at the lake since 1962.

I always dreamed of building a custom house on this slip of land that is my families access to the lake. I have been sketching for decades. So what you see is result of budget hitting dreams and shaking down into a comfortable relaxing place to be.

What makes this property unique

I grew up using the dock, swimming, skiing, and enjoying the lake however the first time as an adult I sat still and looked up the lake I felt the serenity of the view wash over me and I knew I wanted to live here.

So I have brought my precious things, my piano, art and Kitchenaid mixer (ha) to a space I can enjoy in anticipation of creating a place to retire. Until retirement I will share it with others and hope they can have a little piece of my dream for themselves.
