Waterfront, Beachfront Cottage, with Amazing Views

Discover the enchanting beauty of fall and winter at the waterfront Blue Heron Cottage, where serene views and tranquil moments await. As the seasons change, watch from almost every room as the sea recedes to reveal tide pools and sandy beaches transformed by the autumn leaves and winter's frosty touch. Spend your days exploring the beach, now adorned with the colors of fall or the crispness of winter, collecting shells, and enjoying the unique charm of the colder seasons by the sea.

Our contactless check-in and professional hosting ensure a seamless experience from booking to the end of your stay, perfect for a cozy fall getaway or a peaceful winter retreat.

The cottage's decor, with its beachy feel, harmoniously blends with the seasonal changes outside. Wake up in the two front bedrooms, fitted with comfortable queen beds, to the soothing sound of waves and the sight of the sea framed by fall foliage or glistening with winter's first snow. The sunsets, viewed from these west-facing rooms, become even more spectacular with the vibrant colors of autumn or the clear, crisp skies of winter.

The living space, with its open concept, is ideal for gathering and enjoying different activities while staying connected. The massive window in the living room offers incredible views of the water and sunsets, now set against a backdrop of changing seasons. Step out the sliding glass door to a large grassy yard, perfect for enjoying the cool autumn air or watching a gentle snowfall, complete with a propane barbecue and fire pit for memorable fall evenings or cozy winter nights.

A community path beside the house leads to miles of beach, now a wonderland of seasonal beauty. The yard offers plenty of privacy, making the cottage feel like your own secluded world.

For those who need to work or study during their stay, our comfortable office chair, desk, and good internet connectivity allow you to blend productivity with relaxation. Take a break and gaze out at the stunning seasonal views for inspiration.

This casual beach environment, now enveloped in the magic of fall and winter, invites you to relax and savor life's little moments with friends and family. It's an ideal space for couples or a family getaway, offering a unique experience in the cooler months.

Bring your canoe, kayak, or rowboat to launch from the beach below the cottage, now a gateway to a different kind of seasonal adventure. The path is large enough to carry your boat and provisions to the water, but do check the tides and weather, as conditions can be more variable during these seasons.

Explore Semiahmoo by walking, biking, or driving, enjoying the views of the water, Canada, Birch Bay, and islands beyond, now dressed in their seasonal finery. The towns of Birch Bay and Blaine, just a ten to fifteen-minute drive away, offer cozy spots to warm up and enjoy local cuisine, while Bellingham is a short drive south. When the border is open, a visit to White Rock, just twenty minutes from the Cottage, is a delightful addition to your fall or winter escape.
