Fall on the farm is quiet, and there's nowhere to be. The cattle graze out in the pasture, the air cools off in the evening, and after dark the only light is the stars and a string of lights across the grounds.
The Little Farmhouse is a custom-built home for two on our 117-acre working Wagyu farm, just outside Lynden. It's small on purpose and short on nothing: a full kitchen, a queen bed with good sheets, and the top of Mount Baker and the Twin Sisters showing across the fields.
Most people have never stayed in a house this size. It's easier than you'd think, and harder to leave.

This is a real working farm, not a staged experience. During your stay, you may see cattle, farm equipment, and normal day-to-day farm life around the property.
Guests love the peaceful setting, wide-open skies, and the chance to slow down and reconnect with simpler things.

One well-behaved dog under 50 lbs is welcome with prior approval and a pet fee. Please add your pet to the reservation to view the fee and confirm approval. The pet fee covers normal dog hair removal. If excessive pet hair or additional cleaning is required, an extra cleaning fee may apply. Bringing your dogβs crate or bed from home helps keep things fresh for the next guest.
Dogs must be kept leashed, quiet, and supervised at all times. Pets are not allowed on the bed, must never be left alone, and must be kept away from livestock.
