Quiet Farm Stay with Hot Tub, Open Skies, and Room to Breathe

Wake up to a quieter kind of morning. The Little Farmhouse is a cozy one-bedroom retreat on our 117-acre working Wagyu farm, made for guests who want a slower pace and a real break from the noise.

Sip something warm on the patio, take a peaceful walk with wide-open views, then end your day with a reserved hot tub soak under the stars. Simple, cozy, and calm, the way a getaway should feel.

Welcome to The Little Farmhouse at Oostema Farmstead, a cozy one-bedroom stay set on our 117-acre Wagyu cattle farm in Lynden, Washington. It’s a great fit if you’re looking for space, calm, and comfort, without the crowds or chaos of hotels.

Out here, mornings start quiet, and somehow your shoulders drop without you even trying.

🌾This is a real working farm, thoughtfully hosted and naturally peaceful, with room to slow down and breathe a little deeper. Feeling tired, leave refreshed.

🛏Inside the Farmhouse:
Warm lighting, soft linens, and a cozy space that feels easy the second you walk in.

• Cozy queen bed with premium linens
• Comfortable living area to read, relax, or just be still
• Full kitchen with essentials for slow breakfasts and simple dinners
• Private bathroom
• Fast WiFi
• No rushing here, just a slower pace.

🍳Full Kitchen + Farm Store Goodies:
The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and cooking essentials.

During your stay, you’re welcome to shop our small on-site farm store for Oostema Wagyu. As a guest, you can also request a private shopping time with Lisa. Grab a cut, then cook it just a few steps from where it was raised. It’s a pretty cool full-circle moment.

♨️ Private Hot Tub (Scheduled Just for You)
Your stay includes access to our guest-only hot tub, open daily from 8am to 9pm.

After booking, you’ll receive a link to reserve your time slot. Scheduling allows each guest dedicated soak time and helps us maintain water quality and safety between uses.

🌿 Outside Is Yours to Enjoy

Start your morning with coffee on the patio and fresh country air. In winter, the farm gets extra quiet, with crisp mornings, soft light, and wide-open views that make you breathe a little deeper.

You may see farm activity or other guests on the property, but it never feels crowded. Everyone has their own space, and the atmosphere stays calm and low-key.

Pet Policy:
We welcome one well-behaved dog under 50 lbs. with prior approval and a pet fee. Dogs must be kept leashed, quiet, off the furniture, and supervised at all times. Please add your pet to the reservation to view the fee and confirm approval.

To Book:
Please include the code word “FARMSTEAD” in your message. This confirms you’ve read the listing in full and agree to the house rules. A short rental agreement may be sent before arrival for your peace of mind.


OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

• This is a working farm. You may see animals, equipment, and normal farm activity.
• We host other guests on the property, but everyone has their own space and the atmosphere stays peaceful.
• Hot tub use is scheduled for dedicated time slots between 8am and 9pm.
• Getting around is easiest by car due to the rural setting.
• Adults-focused atmosphere year-round. We may make exceptions for school-related stays with guests ages 10+. Message us with details.

Guest Interaction
We are available by message during your stay and we live on the property. We typically respond quickly between 8am and 9pm. If something urgent comes up outside those hours, message us and we will do our best to respond as soon as possible.

📍You’ll find us in Lynden, Washington, where the pace slows down and the views stretch for miles. The Little Farmhouse sits on our working farm surrounded by open fields and pastureland, perfect for quiet mornings and sunset evenings.

You’re close to great day trips like Bellingham, Mt. Baker, Nooksack Falls, and the coast, but you’ll come home to real country calm.


We’re Glen and Lisa Oostema, the owners of Oostema Farmstead and Oostema Wagyu. We’re proud to share a small part of our working farm with guests who appreciate quiet, space, and where their food comes from.

We’d love to welcome you to the Little Barn.

The Little Farmhouse worked well for our October visit. It was quiet, even though we shared the grounds with some RVs for some of the time. We especially enjoyed seeing a wide variety of birds out the front window; migrating geese, woodpeckers, bald eagles, and several others. Also, seeing the weather and sun playing withe top of Mt. Baker.The bed was comfortable, but, as the pictures show, there's almost nowhere to unpack clothes. Everything in the kitchen worked as it should, so we were able to cook most of our meals there. It took a couple days to figure out the heat; the bedroom has its own thermostat and radiator (near the ceiling, unfortunately). We turned it off at night because in the mornings it made a faint knocking sound that woke us up because there was pretty much no other sound to cover it. We enjoyed the farm-themed hardware.We were a little worried before the visit because there are quite a few restrictive rules. But it turns out that those are there in case guests cause problems for the other guests. If you're confident that you won't do that, then don't worry about the most restrictive rules. Lisa is very friendly in person, but not intrusive at all.

Serenity

This thoughtfully equipped house was squeaky clean and cute as a button. The surroundings were soothing to the soul. It may be my favorite BNB so far. One thing I particularly appreciated was the absence of odor from cleaning products or essential oils. I have asthma and use a CPAP machine. Those odors trigger my asthma and leave my CPAP machine so stinky that I have to replace the hose and mask. But not this time! It was clean but not stinky clean!

Tiny House

The Tiny House is an excellent property, clean, organized and nicely apportioned. Only surprise was the proximity of the campground to the property but besides when someone was setting up or breaking down camp, barely knew it was there.

The tiny house with big views

We brought our 6 and 8 year old nieces and dog to the Oostema Farmstead tiny house after a day exploring downtown Bellingham. What a great way to unwind. The views were gorgeous from this very well-designed and well-stocked "tiny" home. We loved exploring the farm and appreciated how private our spot was. We didn't make time to use the hot tub, but we checked it out and it was hot and clean! I highly recommend this spot for a great little getaway.

Excellent Stay

Rented to be in reasonably close proximity of Mt Baker for skiing as well as also to visit Bellingham. The little cabin is nice and clean and located on the other side of a farm property from the main house and farm. It has a view of the surrounding areas and came very well furnished. Also, you can pre-order items from the farm (ie breakfast foods). Would recommend.
