After a year of permitting and construction delays, a proposed luxury glamping resort in Whatcom County, Wash., is struggling to live up to its promises, according to The Bellingham Herald.
The Oculis Lodge was expected to be well on its way by now, with at least the first unit built by the spring of 2023 and the entire project — about 30 700-square-foot, private dome structures — completed in early 2024.
The glamping resort was branded as the “ultimate luxury lodging in the Cascade mountains,” to be built on a 2.16-acre parcel in Glacier, at the base of Mount Baker.
Oculis founder Youri Benoiston purchased the land from the Mount Baker Trailhead Group in May of 2021 for $225,000.
Benoiston did break ground on the project in early 2023. But as of this month, the first unit was still not finished.
