We are Kelvin & Patti Barton, enthusiastic Birch Bay cottage owners.
Birch Bay has long been one of Washington’s resort areas and is known for its vacation cottage rentals. We are happy to join in the fun of helping create happy and memorable vacations and off season getaways for our guests.
We have thoroughly renovated both our cottages, so don’t let “vintage” or “quaint” make you think they’re not modern. Don’t let “comfortable” make you think “worn & torn!” We constantly receive compliments on how thoughtfully furnished and well supplied the cottages are. Our guests tell us it’s obvious to them that we care about their special time together with family & friends or just relaxing or finding a smorgasbord of activities in our area.
We are also constantly improving the ease of making reservations. With our new credit card system in place, it is no longer necessary to reserve with a large deposit over and above the rent. But you can still pay by check or money order if you prefer.
We do not have a dedicated phone line, so when we answer “Hello” please don’t be put off! We’re still a very small business, but we take pride in our Birch Bay community, being directly involved with community planning and as many community events as we are able. We value our quaint little neighborhood with tiny lanes and the neighborhoods around and about us.
Our business is registered and licensed with Washington State Department of Licensing as "Cottages by the Beach".
We are members of Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce.
We also belong to Bellingham Whatcom County Tourism.
