Studio with covered deck and Birch Bay View

Summary:
Upstairs studio with a separate entrance and a mesmerizing view of Birch Bay. Large covered deck also has a view to the east to watch sunrises over the creek. Bird watcher's haven. Suitable for "workationers". Go clam digging or oyster picking. Includes fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. Bring your dog!
The couch is suitable for a child or short adult to sleep on.
Enjoy cooking dinner on your own propane BBQ or use the induction hotplate in the kitchenette.
This unit has a portable AC in the summer.

The Space:
Quiet section of Birch Bay. Secluded entrance. Must be able to climb a flight of stairs. Great WiFi strength for remote workers. We have a work desk with a view of the bay.
Soft bed, coffee & cream provided. This is a lovely space for a work-ationer for the winter.

Bring your dog! We can provide a doggy bed. He can also enjoy the covered balcony where he can be closed in with two baby gates. The balcony has a small BBQ where you can grill up some steaks or bratwursts while enjoying the view and playing tug-o-war with your doggy.

We also have a coin-op laundry. The front deck has a propane fire pit and chairs for gathering.

Adventure:
Some folks launch their kayaks right here from the creek. From our back yard, you can paddle down the creek and into the bay. If you paddle north just a mile or so, you can pull back onto the beach and walk up to one of the restaurants!

Enjoy walking, jogging, or biking... and head south into the state park. Enjoy the beach for a while. If you're on a bike, keep going another couple of miles. Point Whitehorn offers a cliff-height view of Puget Sound.

This is a bird watcher's haven. The barn swallows hang out around our 2nd floor studio (but don't worry, they are quiet). We wake up to the sound of gulls across the street. In spring, the geese are raising babies in the creek and in fall, they're learning to fly. At times, a great heron flies overhead and sounds like a pterodactyl. An occasional eagle can be heard complaining as the ravens chase him away. If you walk your doggy by the creek, he will enjoy barking at the wood ducks and king fishers and mallards.

Guest Access:
Onsite, coin-op laundry.
It is possible to arrive by bus & bike.
Many restaurants offer Viking food delivery.
We often have our groceries delivered here from Whole Foods.

The Neighborhood:
Ours is a quiet neighborhood. Pets are welcome. We do request dogs to stay on leash since they will encounter one another on our property and when walking to the beach.

Birch bay is all about beach life: Strolling on the beach, kayaking, shell fish harvesting (in season) and going to the nearby restaurants. The food scene is small, but often includes live music. The beach side restaurants are about 2 miles north, where you'll also find a coffee shop with local arts and crafts for sale. Check online calendars for the many festivals throughout the year in Birch Bay, Blaine, and Semiahmoo For example, checkout the kite festival and the sand sculpture festival. We also enjoy old car shows, music, art, and food vendors.

Blaine is 10 minutes north and offers more restaurants, a grocery store, post office, a Starbucks, and fast food.

Getting Around:
Car is, of course, easiest.
However, bus 75 from Ferndale comes straight here and drops you off at the C Shop which is .6 of a mile from here.
Once you get here, you could make arrangements to borrow our bikes.
Food and groceries are a bike ride away. Also, see our guest book for the many ways to get restaurant food delivered as well as groceries, pet food, and even pharmacy items.
If you are exploring the islands, the Anacortes ferry terminal is about 1.5 hours from here.

Other Things to Note:
Contact us ahead of time if you'd like to order groceries to be delivered just ahead of your arrival. We will be here to greet the delivery and put stuff in your unit. Note: The fridge is medium sized. The cooking arrangements inside are a coffee station, a toaster and microwave. But there is a small grill out on the balcony, so you can make steak and salad for dinner.
