Fairhaven Village Inn

Nestled in the heart of the celebrated Fairhaven District in Bellingham, our 22 room hotel blends the charm and personality of yesterday with the amenities and technology of today.

You will find the Fairhaven Village Inn in the Historic Fairhaven District on Bellingham Bay. Fairhaven has a small working harbor and is a summer stop for the Victoria BC Ferry and the Alaska State Ferry. It is a vibrant spot in Bellingham with all the amenities of a small town. Outside the Inn's front door are walking trails and dozens of local restaurants sprinkled among unique shops and entertainment along with the library, park, laundry, dentist, doctor, realtor, salons, fitness club, and grocery. The Village Green Park, much like a town square across the street from the hotel, has a farmer's market and outdoor movies. You can rest on the grass with a blanket to watch the movie on Saturday night! All this just a few blocks from Western Washington University (WWU) and the famed Chuckanut Drive. http://www.fairhavenvillageinn.com/
