Super peaceful and relaxing

We stayed here in early December and it was very nice. The hosts were polite, the space was clean, the instructions were very clear and access was very easy. Lynden is a very charming little town and we left the farm talking about how excited we were to come back in the summer for the raspberries!

Cozy apartment and a great location!

We had a great time staying on the farm. The apartment was perfect for me and my kids. The rooms were spacious and cozy and having the two bathrooms was great! It was clean and perfectly decorated for a farm apartment. The owner and his grandson were so friendly and we loved the tour of the farm. This is a great place to stay!!! We loved it!

It was so nice to stay here at the farm for our little one night stay. We came to spend time with our son for Easter weekend since he attends Western Washington University. The beds were extremely comfortable. Just the right amount of detail throughout the entire apartment. We would definitely come and stay here again. Thanks Glen and Lisa

We arrived in a sudden cloudburst, and our host came rushing to help us get our belongings in out of the rain. The apartment is charmingly furnished and every amenity is available. It was fun to see the cattle and the pig and the goat and the chickens and to walk in the raspberry fields.

Quiet, clean, delightful - highly recommend

This is our second stay at the Oostema Farmstead so we are repeat customers. We walked into immaculately clean spaces, tasteful and thoughtful holiday decorations, enjoyed a good night’s sleep in comfortable beds and amazingly soft linens, and loved the fluffy thick soft towels. The Farmstead is so quiet and presented us with some spectacular sunrises that lit up the sky in brilliant pink hues due to its location. Our daughter and son-in-law and their 8 month old stayed in the master bedroom and were able to put the pack and play in the large master bathroom which allowed all three to enjoy a good nights sleep each night. The second bedroom is also good size and just down the hall from the master bedroom which provided additional privacy. Prior to our stay, Lisa was quick to provide us with the check in procedures and was also extremely responsive to any questions that I had. We were there to see our son and his family who live a short distance from the Farmstead which makes it an ideal landing place for us. We will be back!

We LOVED our stay! Pros: Super comfy beds and linens So cute Bigger space than the pictures appear Animals on the farm to see/feed Comfortable tub to soak in Very responsive host Cons: No kitchen. We did take out for dinner and brought easy breakfast/lunch options to make in the kitchenette. Very basic kitchenette (bring butter, etc) Flies (but it’s a farm, so definitely forgivable) Internet didn’t work for the 4 days were there (but this seemed to be the first time that’s happened - so I wouldn’t take too much note of this con). Definitely recommend this getaway!!

Warmly greeted and supported throughout our stay. Property grounds are beautifully manicured. The grandkids loved the farm animals (so did the adults). The hot tub was fantastic. The access to the garden for fresh veggies we barbecued on the grill and bowl full of fresh picked raspberries we’re delicious. The 2- bedroom house was quite sufficient for our family with three grand kids. It was very clean and comfortable. We will be back.
