It’s Plunge Day at Birch Bay and we checked in early. At current count, more than 475 plungers have checked in and are officially going into the waters of at noon. Wish us luck!! We are part of the efforts to break the world record style! We need 3135 plungers to brave the waters to the waist for one full minute!!

There and Back- dog walking with Baxter “on the berm” in on a quiet Friday morning. Winter is a prime time to visit this in the PNW. Unplug and enjoy the view!

Seriously, we have amazing guests and we're proud to share it!

This just in from a happy Blue Heron guest:

"This house has it all: Location, well-appointed kitchen, comfy beds, beach supplies, and dog supplies (the P**p Deck should be trademarked!). The outside spaces were as nice as the interior. One of us worked remotely from the house, so all is well even if you cannot fully unplug. Due to the convenient location and laid-back town, we walked to dinner in town and combed the beach (awesome sand dollar colony!). I took side-trips to Ferndale/Tennant Lake, Bellingham, and Mt. Baker, but one could easily fill a weekend or full week in Birch Bay." - Dena

We love it when guests post photos of their happy pups enjoying the cottage, too. Zelda went hiking at Artist Point near Mt Baker and then flopped out and enjoyed some couch time before heading to the beach for a full-fledged, full body ROMP!

Thanks for staying with us, Dena and Zelda. Come back again soon!
