Map & Owner's Profile
Shuksan Luxurious Mount Baker Cabin with Hot Tub & Firepit
Year Purchased: 2011
Why the Owner Chose Mount Baker
The Shuksan is the perfect cabin in a gorgeous setting.
It's an easy drive from Vancouver and Seattle, including easy access for those flying in to YVR, SEA or Bellingham. Driving in to Glacier you'll feel the stress of your everyday life fade away. When pulling up to the Shuksan you'll know a luxury stay and relaxation is just seconds away.
We've been coming to the Mt. Baker area off and on for many years. Simply put, it's an outdoor recreation mecca, without the high prices found in many resorts. You'll love all it has to offer.
And after a wonderful day in the great outdoors, enjoy a great meal in the cabin, or venture out to the nearby towns for some amazing food. There's some great restaurants nearby, all are detailed in the cabin literature.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The Shuksan features a private campfire area, the perfect spot to end the evening at. Gaze at the stars, tell stories, reminisce, and even remember the great taste of S'mores. Marshmallow roasting sticks included.
Entrance gate to Snowline. Just inside the gate you'll see the fishing pond, swimming pool, playing field, basketball and tennis courts, playground and more. Turn right just inside the gate to head to The Shuksan.
Recommended. Some of the best pizza we've ever tasted this side of Chicago. Great place to chill out with family and friends, with live music some nights and an awesome games area for all ages upstairs in the loft. Great menu and a good vibe.
Recommended. My mom said this was some of the best Italian food she's ever tasted, and at great prices.
Recommended. Great local Glacier vibe goes with their wonderful food.
The name tells the story. Very cool spot with great beer and amazing food. The beer shrine alone is worth a stop.

Fantastic house for a group of snow loving freinds...

This place has everything you need to have a blast no matter what the snow conditions (we did bring our own skiis and snowshoes of course). All the finishes are top notch and the beds were all very comfortable. The owners thought of a lot of small touches that really make things easy like lots of extra plates for the kitchen and towels for the hot-tub and bathrooms. I would reccomend this property to any of my friends and family who like the mountains...

We found this Mt, Baker getaway to be extremely well appointed and cozy, The power went out the first evening but it didn't matter, There were lots of flashlights around so we played games and had a great time. We would definately stay here again. Thanks for making Shuksan such an enjoyable place to stay.
Owner response:Jennifer, thanks for your feedback. We've tried to prepare the place as best as possible in the event of a rare power outage. Glad you were able to find the many flashlights we've spread around! Do stay in touch and we'd love to host you again.

What a nice cabin this was to stay in! The Christmas decorations were a very nice surprise and much appreciated! Even though the conditions at the mountain were less than ideal, we found plenty to do including sledding, eating at the local restaurants and hanging around the cabin. We will be back! Merry Christmas.

Perfect! Beautiful home, beautiful surroundings! Jane, the décor is beautiful. I love the autumn touches. The detail is wonderful. 5 Star property. We will be sure to share our experience with many of our friends! Our only downfall is that our trip was too short (even though we were here for 4 days)! We drove up the Glacier Creek Road and loved the trip and the views. The pool table was a huge bonus! You have stocked your home with everything that we needed and then some. You have thought of everything! Thank you for sharing your home with us. We absolutely loved every part of it.

We loved the comfort and layout of this home. Communication with the owners was prompt and very helpful. We spent three nights in total; two nights with another couple. We enjoyed using the hot tub, BBQ'ing on the deck and eating at the patio table. The landscaping is lovely with the garden lights at night. Loved the music selection and watching a movie on TV to relax after a long day of hiking. We will definitely be back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this vacation rental. Deb & Keith
