Fodor's Expert Review Fairhaven Village Inn

Overlooking Fairhaven Village Green, this charming, historic inn overlooks Bellingham Bay; bay-view rooms have balconies and gas fireplaces, and a suite has French doors dividing a bedroom and sitting area. On a clear day the view ranges all the way to the San Juan Islands. It's steps from Fairhaven's restaurants and galleries, and a trail running from downtown Bellingham to the waterfront and Padden Creek passes in front of the inn.
