Getting out of the city for a few days and into the wilderness was a welcome respite from the quarantine. The Mt. Baker area overall is very sparsely populated and is definitely not a big summer destination - much to everyone's loss and our gain. The area had very little in the way of tourists and the trails were very empty. Even major viewpoints like Heather Meadows had plenty of parking and plenty of space.
The Mt. Baker Rim complex is a small community and was fine for our needs. Due to COVID, none of the clubhouse amenities are open for guests - but I was told if you are a renter, you wouldn't have gotten access to them anyways so plan accordingly as many of the sites tout these as amenities.
The cabin was clean and well furnished. Even though there are many notes about wi-fi being sparse, we had no trouble and they had a roku with all the various streaming options.
The kitchen had alot of the major pots and pans although if you like to cook alot I would recommend bringing your own tools and gear.
It was obvious that there had likely been a recent flood in the bathroom of the toilet. The bathroom definitely smelled musty to the point where we kept the window open and the door closed at all times or else the smell would permeate throughout the house.
Also, with COVID rules, the kitchen has ZERO spices, oils, etc. Usually with rentals some of the main staples are there but due to rules there is NOTHING in the kitchen. Please be sure to bring your own as there's only a very small grocery store and not much else to get supplies.
It was very quiet and peaceful and the hot tub was great. If you're wanting a getaway without worrying about too many people for social distancing rules, Mt. Baker is the best and we enjoyed this cabin very much!
