The Neighborhood:
While staying at Lakeview Lodge, you will be situated in the woodsy Sudden Valley Community right on the edge of the 12th hole of the Golf Course. This area is known as Gate 1 of Sudden Valley, and is right on the lake. It has a friendly & laid-back environment. Lake access to the marina and beach are a walk, bike or short drive away. Additionally, the Sudden Valley Community Center is nearby in Gate 2, which has a pool & fitness center which you can purchase affordable day passes for entry.
Getting Around:
The pleasant community of Sudden Valley is located on the Southwest shore of Lake Whatcom, which is 15 minutes from the city of Bellingham to your West. Heading South from Bellingham will lead you to the historic Fairhaven District and just a bit further South will lead you to the beautiful coastal Chuckanut Mountains which have unrivaled views of the San Juan Islands! There is plenty to explore in the North Puget Sound.
To the Northeast of Sudden Valley is Mount Baker and the North Cascades National Park. On your way to the North Cascades, you'll pass through the best of what Whatcom County has to offer as you ascend to the mountains. The small towns of Maple Falls & Glacier will keep you fueled up as you travel.
Of course, you can take a trip about one hour North on I-5 and head to Vancouver, B.C. and get a big city experience. In between the Bellingham area and the border are plenty of growing communities, such as, Ferndale & Blaine which have plenty to offer as you travel North. This Lakeside retreat is certainly located in an excellent neck of the woods, and you will be able to have an authentic Pacific Northwest experience!
