Perfect stay for ski to sea
This was our teams jump point for the ski to sea race. Couldn’t have been more perfect. The house and property are as cozy as they are beautiful.

Amazing Stay near Mt Baker
This is a beautiful property with all the amenities that you need to have a comfortable stay. So much to see and do in the area wish we could have stayed longer. The grounds here are stunning and is truly a special place. If you wanted to do nothing other than sit back, read a book, play some board games with the family and enjoy nature, then this is the spot for you too. Hope to be back again one day soon.

We enjoyed our stay. The property brought back memories of our home we lived in 36 years ago. I recommend it to anyone who likes a forested setting close to a mountain and river. Thank you to the owners for providing a nice place to stay.

We wanted to have some quite family time and be together for thanksgiving. This cabin was amazing! The rooms were beautiful and serene. The kitchen had all you need to cook a thanksgiving meal. Games and TV plus a dvd player. All in all do not hesitate to book this cabin. Loved every minute of it!

Lovely forest spot
We had a great stay at this beautiful cabin. The beds are actually comfortable! It was so nice to stay at a nice cabin that has comfy beds that actually match the price. A+! The property itself is lovely, with a beautiful open space in front of the home, fire pit for when there isn't a fire ban, and close access to all the beautiful nature the area has to offer. Things to note: The area is remote, so while there is wifi, it is INCREDIBLY slow (4-5 mbps). It's enough for streaming one thing at a time, but not great for trying to get work done. Also, you're in the country, so it's pretty impossible to keep mice out. Just make sure your food is put away when you leave and you'll be just fine. We will definitely be back to this cabin and plan to bring friends next! Adding a hot tub would be the icing on the cake... :)

Great spot to stay and ski!
Overall this was the perfect place to stay for a weekend of boarding at Mt. Baker. The only thing we were disappointed about was that there was no fire wood for the wood stove and fire pit. And — the one thing that would make it better would be a hot tub!

Excellent stay. All the rooms were clean and spacious. The only downside is windows doesn’t have blinds so it got cold at night. However, there were plenty of blankets for you to cozy up.

Wonderful Family Vacation
We were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful this cabin was! We loved how modern and clean it was and literally had everything we needed. The quality of everything in the home was top notch and we totally enjoyed our stay. My family came from all over the country to reunite and this was the perfect space for it. Our original plan was to go to North Cascades but we liked the area so much we spent two days at Mt. Baker. We would definitely love to return again.

Peaceful stay in the woods
My family (two adults, two kids under 8) had a quick trip and it was just what we were looking for. We wanted easy access to Artist Point, somewhere quiet, and somewhere clean. Leb’s communication was great, and he worked with me to figure things out when we had a change in plans. The cabin comfortably slept our family with a bed to spare with the loft. It was very clean and uncluttered. We would definitely return.

Cabin was clean, large, and comfortable. We loved the front porch and cooking in the kitchen. Great home-base for hiking. Would recommend people stop in for groceries/supplies before arriving as there were not too many food options close by (the 4 of us are vegans so it limited options).

We had a mini-college reunion and this property met our needs perfectly. The spacious kitchen with ample seating made it fun to make our own meals and graze on snacks, the fire pit was a great spot to relax after a long day of hiking and the living room was comfy for when the rain kept us from the fire pit.

This property was absolutely the vacation my Fiancee and I were hoping for. The house is beautiful and set off the road in such a way you feel the solitude of the greater area, while still being near enough to convenience. Property manager made themselves readily available in case we needed anything . We will most certainly be making another trip in the future!

Amazing piece of property. My wife and I felt like we could sit on the front porch and stare at the trees forever! Super quiet, private, and clean. Short drive to the town of Glacier, and super close to the river and tons of hiking trails. Communication with the owner was easy-peasy. We'd definately stay again one day!

Magical Vacation
We spent ten nights at Leb's cabin and had a wonderful time (despite the bout of intense heat!). My husband and I traveled with our five kids (13, 11, 9, 7 & 4) and our family friend, so 8 people total. Our kids like being cozy together, so all of them typically slept on the queen bed and the loft was primarily unused. The big island in the kitchen was great for the kids to sit at to eat, and we used the picnic table outside several times both for dining and for projects. Our kids enjoyed playing outside with water guns, laser tag & ring stix, which we brought with us. They all desperately needed this open outdoor area to play in after months of distance learning! There were a couple of dogs that periodically came onto the property towards the evening, but thankfully they never interrupted the kids playtime during the day. We had plenty of space at the coffee table inside for board games and puzzles, and our youngest boy celebrated his 7th birthday here and said it was his best birthday yet. The spacious refrigerator was perfect for containing everything needed to feed our brood, and my husband discovered that the local grocery store had some gluten free options! The gas grill & fire pit were great too! We brought kids camp chairs and a kiddie picnic table with us, which we needed for the quantity of tushies we had with us. This property is clearly loved and well taken care of. A lot of work has been put into it and Leb shared some plans for more he intends to add to it. All of us would love to come back again. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us. We were talking just tonight about how amazing our summer has been already and it's only just begun!

Great getaway—and not too remote.
We spent a lovely week in this home off Mt Baker Hwy. It has a nicely wooded property and fire ring for evening camp fires. Although the overall location is a bit remote, we found a small but well-stocked grocery store and a delicious bakery nearby. We had brought most of our groceries and the kitchen was well-equipped for us to cook our own meals. We went hiking in different locations every day—Deception Pass, Fragrance Lake, and Nooksack River. It was mid-June and most of the higher trails were impassable because of the snow but we did drive up to the ski area for some great views of Baker’s peak. All told, a nice visit to the North Cascades. Two notes for visitors—there is wifi but to use it for work, we had to limit access to one guest at a time. Also, eye masks may be helpful if you don’t want to wake at the earliest light of dawn.

This home is super clean and has everything you need for a great stay. We came for a ski weekend at Mt. Baker and this has to be one of the closest and nicest places to stay around the ski area.

This was the perfect place to stay for my family. Close to amazing skiing, gorgeous views of the property from every window and the house is just as great as the pictures! The kitchen is well stocked and beautiful. The island was a great place for game night. The whole family said the beds were comfy, although the low bed was difficult for my 72 yr old mom to get out of. We are looking forward to staying here again. We had a couple questions for Leb, the owner, he was very responsive, nice and great to work with. I definitely recommend staying here!

Christmas ski trip
Just spent 3 days at this house with my family. The house is beautiful, stylish, with plenty of wonderful details, spotless and very well equipped. During the day we went to ski to Mount Baker and this house is at a great location for skiers. The forest and the garden were great too despite we didn’t spend much time there due the weather. I highly recommend this house and hope to book it again in the future.

Lovely get away in Glacier
This a beautiful, modern hideaway tucked back in amongst the trees. Our trip for a few families to spend the weekend skiing together at Baker was wonderful. The cabin is well equipped and comfortable. It is was bit difficult for us to find in the dark with a tree having fallen on one of the access roads and lacking a house number, but that was a small price to pay and only added to the sense of adventure. Definitely recommend and would stay again!

Lu U., Where do you live?

Not quite ready for prime time
I think this is going to be a very nice place but it is not quite there yet. Some of the good points: It is a spacious house nicely set in a re-growing forest. Deer came to browse the bushes. Lots of windows. Kitchen is well provisioned (although a cheese grater would be useful) , with new cookware and adequate place settings . Owner is responsive & helpful. Some things need work: Spare and hard edged. No window coverings, lots of hard surfaces, and few furnishings does not make for a cozy feeling. Wood burning stove/fireplace noted in amenities not present. There is a spot for one but it has not been installed. Loft in north bedroom does not have a rail. We were able to install a portable railing that attaches to the mattress. This was in a box on the floor. It felt rather flimsy to me. If you have active or small children you might not be comfortable with them sleeping/playing there. Entryway could use some hooks for coats and a bench for sitting and removing shoes (requested by signage). No towel racks in downstairs bathroom, only 1 in upstairs bathroom. Inadequate dining seating. Only 4 stools at built in concrete counter/table. Extra people have to stand or use the the upholstered sitting area chairs. Large screen TV does not have cable access. If you have a Netflix subscription you can enter the info into the TV remote (it is a bit clumsy). The bed is the only furnishing in the bedrooms. It would be nice to have a reading lamp, dresser or desk and chair, especially in the large master bedroom. Our cell phones did not work and there is not a land line.
