Guest Reviews

Such a great stay! This place was the perfect relaxing getaway from the city. I spent my time between the sauna and the hot tub, and sat down by the creek with a book. Everything about it is thoughtfully designed, and the architecture is beautiful. The kitchen had everything I could have wanted, so I cooked myself a great dinner and never felt like I was missing anything. I can't wait to come back, and I'll definitely be checking out Northwest Pad's other properties too. Highly recommend!

Backman Creek Hideaway | Creekside Spa Retreat, October 2026

"We loved our stay at this picture-perfect cabin! The location is incredible, and little details like the indoor fireplace added so much charm. Navigating the stairs with a baby was a minor challenge, but everything else was wonderful. Highly recommended!"

Lakeview Lodge | Hot Tub • Sauna • Cold Plunge, October 2026

Perched above beautiful Lake Whatcom, Lake View Lodge is the perfect place to begin your Bellingham adventures. :) Summer here offers amazing hikes, epic mountain bike trails & Mt Baker for winter sports. Did I mention the dining options? The bestt!

The cabin, service and communication was perfect in every way. We enjoyed the amenities and the cabin was well stocked. The only thing that took away from the experience was the foul sulfur smell from the tap which is fed by a well. We had to use bottled water for cooking, coffee/ tea and even brushing our teeth. We strongly recommend that the host make the effort to treat or filter the water to improve the quality of the water.

PNW River Cabin • Hot Tub • Firepit • Fireplace, October 2026

The cabin was very clean, private, peaceful and had all the amenities we needed. Great location to access hiking and the outdoors. The wood cabin is fairly new and had a very strong cedar aroma that was unfortunately overwhelming and gave us headaches.
