The Space:
Welcome to The Birdhouse, a newly refreshed retro cabin tucked into Snowline, one of Glacier’s most loved gated mountain communities near Mt. Baker.

This is the kind of cabin that feels instantly relaxing. Mornings start slowly with coffee under the trees.

About Snowline:
Snowline is a peaceful gated community surrounded by towering evergreens, walking trails, and mountain air. Guests love the quiet, forested setting, easy access to Glacier, and the feeling of being close to everything while still tucked away in nature.
Seasonal community amenities typically include a heated outdoor pool, tennis courts, clubhouse area, playground, kickball field, walking trails, and access toward the Nooksack River. Pool dates and hours are seasonal and weather dependent, typically summer through Labor Day.
Good to Know:
The wood stove is available for guest use. Please plan to bring or purchase firewood locally.
Winter mountain travel can bring snow and changing road conditions. AWD or 4WD is strongly recommended during winter months.
Parking is in the driveway only. Snowline does not allow street parking, and all vehicles must be registered before arrival.
This home is located in a forested mountain environment. Wildlife is part of the setting, so please do not leave food or garbage outside.
Mountain dining and grocery options are limited. We recommend stocking up before you arrive, especially for longer stays.
The Birdhouse is small in all the right ways: intimate, cozy, stylish, and easy to settle into. Come for the skiing, hiking, pool days, or hot tub nights. Stay for the quiet.
The Neighborhood:

Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, Snowline is an ideal basecamp for exploring Mt. Baker, the North Cascades, and the year round beauty of the Glacier area.
Guests love Snowline’s quiet, park like setting with towering evergreens, fresh mountain air, private walking paths, nature trails, scenic river access areas, a playground, open field, and a seasonal outdoor heated pool, typically open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.

Other Things to Note:
**Technology, Wi-Fi & Cell Service**
As of 2025, our Mt. Baker-area homes now have high speed fiber internet, making it easier for guests to work remotely, stream favorite shows, check in with work, or stay connected while enjoying a peaceful mountain getaway.
The home includes free WiFi and a smart TV for streaming your favorite subscription channels. Please note that streaming subscriptions are not included, so guests will need to log in with their own accounts.
Cell service can still be limited in Glacier and the surrounding mountain communities depending on your carrier, though some guests find service near the Mt. Baker Ski Area.
While fiber internet has greatly improved connectivity in the area, this is still a rural mountain community where service can occasionally be impacted by storms, power outages, falling trees, weather, or regional service interruptions. These circumstances are beyond our control, and we are unable to offer refunds or discounts due to WiFi outages, speed, or service disruptions.
We recommend downloading your driving directions, check-in instructions, trail maps, and any must-have entertainment before arrival, just in case mountain weather or service interruptions decide to make an appearance.
**Mountain Living, Wildlife, Weather & Local Area Notes**
This home is located in a lush mountain rainforest near the base of Mt. Baker. One of the most beautiful parts of staying here is being surrounded by towering trees, fresh air, wildlife, changing weather, and nature in every direction.
Because this is a rural mountain environment, we share the area with forest critters both large and small. From ants and bats to mice, raccoons, bears, and bobcats, we do everything possible to keep nature outside where it belongs, but guests should expect that this is not a city setting. Please help us protect the home and local wildlife by keeping doors closed, storing food indoors, and never leaving food, coolers, or garbage outside. To wildlife, anything left outside can look like a free meal.
The mountains offer incredible beauty in every season, but predictable weather is not one of them. Please come prepared for changing conditions, including warm summer days, heavy rain in the spring and fall, and snow, ice, and freezing temperatures in the winter. During the winter months, we strongly recommend bringing a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicle, as snow and ice can make mountain roads, neighborhood roads, and driveways challenging.
Power outages and regional service interruptions can happen from time to time due to storms, snow, wind, falling trees, or other mountain conditions. These situations are outside of our control, and we do not offer refunds or discounts for loss of power, internet, or weather related conditions.
We also recommend arriving prepared with groceries and provisions. Large grocery runs are best done in Bellingham before heading up the mountain, about 45 minutes away. There are a few small, locally owned markets and grocery stops along Mt. Baker Highway, and restaurants in the Glacier and Mt. Baker area are limited, with seasonal hours that may vary during slower times of year.
Come prepared, settle in, and enjoy the slower pace of mountain life.
