Clean cozy warm stay. The picture do not give this cabin justice, it's a beautiful property
We used this property to stay at when we went to Mt baker, super close and super easy to get in/out of. Very pretty cabin, very spacious and a wonderful host.
We loved having the opportunity to stay here, just a 30 min drive from the Mt. Baker Ski area. There is little cell reception in the area, so make sure to plan around this. The check-in process was smooth despite this, as the host met with us and made sure we were able to find the correct house.Would love the chance to stay again!

Thank you, Nick!
It was nice meeting you and your friends. I am happy that you had a great stay and time at the slope.
I appreciated very much the perfect condition of the house I found after you left.
I wish all of you a happy and very successful New Year.
Susanne
We really enjoyed our stay and Susanne was a great host. She was very prompt with any questions that arose. She even greeted us at the house and gave us a backstory to a rich family history depicted on photos hanging on the wall. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, plates and cups. The gas fireplace was a nice touch to keep us cozy and warm. Very close to Mt. Baker for access to skiing/sledding. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

I definitely loved having you as guests.
All the best to you and your family,

Nice cabin with some problematic appliances
Overall our stay was good. However, the fold-able beds were both very hard with metal frame sticking through the thin mattresses. We had to pad them using blankets to be able to sleep. Some appliances had problems: dishwasher started a washing cycle every time we closed it, even when empty. The kitchen oven required some getting used to since the heating did not much depend on the user-defined settings. The last small problem was finding light switches, one of them, located on the side of a cupboard took 30 min to locate.

Thank you for your review. Reviews are very important to me as it gives me an awareness of potential problems that need solving.
I did check the dishwasher and it worked fine even after running 2 cycles. The kitchen oven worked without problems when I checked it. I am glad you brought your problems to my attention and I could check them. Every guest gets a small tour through the house before handing the keys over. The light switches are all in plain sight and located where light switches should be, except the one you found hard to find. This particular dimmer switch for the TV room I showed and even demonstrated to some guests of your group.
I wished you would have given me a call so that I would have been able to help or assist you.
Thank you for your review and being my guest, I wish you well,
Susanne
We had a great stay at Susanne’s cabin while there for some snowboarding at Mt Baker. Location was wonderful - close to the mountain and the restaurants and shops in town. Susanne was a very welcoming, kind host and we would happily stay again!
This is a wonderful property with a fantastic main living and lounging room and due to the trees and location in Snowline community it feels quite private and secluded. I recommend this property.
There were many options for our wide range family members (70 years old to 18 months old) to enjoy in Snowline community.
The pool, playground, sport courts, and roads were very well maintained. The kids could ride their bike in all security.
The house was well equipped. Our stay went very smoothly.

Susanne
The property is very comfortable with lots of room for adults and kids to hang out. The host is very friendly and the community is very safe for kids to play and take walks. Really enjoyed our stay. This is our second trip to this community.

I am glad to hear that you made good memories. Our community is a wonderful vacation place for families with children. I enjoyed greeting your friend and her beautiful family. I wish you all the very best for the future and would love seeing you again. Maybe during our wonderful snow season?
Respectful,
Susanne
We thoroughly enjoyed the house, and wished we had reserved it longer. We would most definitely want to go back again.
The location is so conveniently close to hikes in the Mt Baker area, ski area, and walkable to Chair 9. The house is inside a gated community with swimming pool, playground, and tennis court. It is very family friendly.
The house is charming with personal touches throughout. The host, Suzanna was very helpful, responsive and a delight to talk to.
We definitely recommend the place. Thank you, Suzanna, for your hospitality.
Our little weekend trip to Glacier was a blast. We unfortunately happened to book the same weekend as the crazy heatwave, and although we brought fans, it was pretty unbearable without A/C - but that's not the fault of anyone. We were a little bummed because we specifically booked this house for the pool access, and after getting all dressed up and ready for the pool, discovered that it had been closed for over a year due to COVID and hadn't reopened. Otherwise, the scenery was beautiful, the house was cozy, and we would definitely rent there again under better weather.

Thank you for your nice review. We were very disappointed about the pool closure as well. It has since reopened.
Wishing you and your family health and success for the rest of the year.
Susanne
The host was fantastic and very nice. She showed me around before handing us the keys. The house was just what we needed after skiing Mt Baker all day.
We had a great stay. Susanne was very accommodating and would recommend to anyone looking for a great spot close to Mt. Baker.

Thank you Brad. I would certainly look forward hosting your very nice group again. I appreciated very much how the house was kept up after your stay. So glad the weather was perfect for your ski vacation.
I wish you and your friends all the best.
Susanne
The place was perfect for a long weekend away - situated just a couple minutes away from "downtown" Glacier, and walking distance from Chair 9 (great place for pizza). It was super cozy, kitchen had everything we needed to keep 4 adults and 2 kids fed. Despite some of the shared amenities of the community being closed due to COVID, it was still a great place to walk around and explore - there's a playground and a duck pond. Great kitchen/living room/dining room area where we all sat around and enjoyed the fire and the snow falling. Highly recommended!
