Great location and simple check in process. Property was very clean and homely. Only stayed 1 night, should have stayed longer. Would recommend for others.
5.0 / 5.0
Excellent location. Snowater Resort is one of the nicer properties closest to the drive up to Mount Baker. Also very close to Chair 9 and Graham's Restaurant. There is a grocery store right next to Graham's Restaurant with limited but adequate and basic provisions. The grounds are very pretty, next to river, has picnic tables, pickle ball and tennis courts, 2 pools. The unit is clean and well-stocked. Our only wish is for more cooking pots: there was 1 saucepan with cover, and 1 frying pan. That's it. Also suggestion to the resort to add a compost bin. Otherwise, the property has everything else needed for a very comfortable stay. We are happy we chose this property. Thank you to the owners.

Tough to find in the dark. We got there late after doing my daughter’s senior pictures at Mt Baker. Place was clean. Incredibly small bathroom and kitchen. Loved the fan I could use. Great communication from property manager. We only stayed one night so did not get much further.

The condo was a fantastic home base for our trip to Mt Baker. It is an easy drive to the mountain and within minutes of all the restaurants and cafes in Glacier. The place was clean and well-equipped. We enjoyed walking around by the river that runs through the condo area. Would definitely stay again!

We've stayed at this complex several times and this was our second time at this apartment. We love seeing the Nooksack River from the living room/deck and being able to hike right from the property. The sauna in the community building is fantastic. We also enjoyed exploring dinners in Glacier. A cozy, quiet place that we will look forward to returning to again.

The condo was exactly as advertised. We really enjoyed walking the trails along the Nooksack available right outside the condo. We'll be back!

This is a perfect place to stay for Mount Baker adventures. About as close to the mountain as you can get, super clean and great amenities on site with hot tub, saunas pools and sport courts for either unwinding after a day on the mountain or recreating otherwise. The condo complex is quiet and well managed.

It was adequate, clean. Small. Most evident was that it is apparent the hosts don’t spend much time there. Dear Jo/ Jack, spend 2 nights in your property, you’ll probably change some things. Kitchen equipment is lacking. Lighting is glaring and hard to turn them on/off. I made makeshift shades to reduce glare while watching TV… Couch is uncomfortable. Pans and dishes are small, had to serve salad in a pot, and cook one steak at a time… LOL! The best part was the community pool and the fireplace was nice, but there was a sticker telling me about a 25$ fee to relight fire, lol. Mattress was nice though. VRBO itself sent so many spam emails from booking to check in it was hard to find the one email with check in info, that’s why low stars there.

We had a nice stay and the place was very clean when we arrived. The place was well equipped for our needs: light cooking and hike preparation. The grounds are beautiful and property has the river on three sides with a nice trail to walk on.
A couple of items of note, not bad, just to be aware of:
- Electric vehicles. They have 2 L2 chargers. They are keyed and if someone has the key, you can't charge even if they are not using it. So make sure you have enough when you get there.
- Fragrance sensitivity. The detergent used to clean the towels and sheets has a very strong fragrance that was a bit overwhelming the first night. The scent remained in our clothes after leaving.

The unit was clean and inviting. The campus offers plenty of activities and amenities for the whole family. Be aware the dining options in the area are limited.

The 2 pools on-site are deep and were a big hit with our kids. Hot tubs were nice for us too. Gas grills by the river were very convenient for cooking our meals. This is great location to explore mount Baker and there are several peaceful trails along the valley floor as well. There was even a secluded trail right on the property along the river that we loved!
5.0 / 5.0
The condo was perfect for us. We used the kitchen often and found everything we needed to cook meals. The boardgames and books were a good selection as well. The view was nice and there was a good amount of natural light since it's a corner unit. All the amenities on the property were great and fun to explore. Owners were a pleasure and replied quickly.

I was very impressed with the whole community! The property I stayed at was very clean and had extra things on hand; in my case a toothbrush which I'd forgotten. I had also forgotten my coffee...I was very pleased they had complimentary coffee. All the amenities were wonderful; like the hot tub and the pool. I even shot a game of pool and worked out in the fitness room. I would like to come back someday with my husband. It was everything I needed. Oh, and the bed, pillows, and comforter were very comfy. Slept well. Great place. Thanks for having me at your place. Karen Krauch

What a treat to be so close to the Mt. Baker ski area where we had a wonderful day in the snow with the sun the whole time! Literally only 25 mins from the condo. The hot tub was a great way to finish the day.
On day 2 we enjoyed time in Bellingham less than an hour away, farmers market, yummy lunch, massage and shopping. Lovely peaceful walk on trails here at Snowater. Great time playing darts and ping pong at the clubhouse.
Condo was spotless and had everything we needed. Thank you!

Very old and in need of updating. Forget cell/cable service (not owners fault) but the area os the boondocks. Loved Mt. Baker and that makes it all good.

Went to ski. Unfortunately it was raining and so spent a lot of time in the condo
4.0 / 5.0
Perfect location for access to Mt. Baker and very much appreciated the fireplace. While the photos are technically accurate, the condo is much much more compact than I expected. Works fine for 2 adults, but I can't imagine sharing with anyone else (including children). The primary fixtures (e.g., cabinets, flooring) all seem to be original (old), but clean and relatively well kept. The hosts have done a good job with decorating to help modernize. Could use some non-LED lightbulbs to soften the lighting. Overall a great value, clean, easy, and within walking distance to Chair 9 Pizzeria.
5.0 / 5.0
Location of the property was perfect, easy to get up to Baker for snowshoeing/skiing and also to visit some of the restaurants in Glacier. Check in and property instructions were clear and easy to follow and the condo was cozy and perfectly sized for my friend and I for the weekend. Thanks for making the trip easy and fun!

We needed to get out of the city and into nature. Despite the rain there was still plenty to do. The kids loved the pools and rec room. A short drive to Baker and we were playing in the snow on Thanksgiving!
