Where to begin? We had such a wonderful 3 days at Snowline Cabin 66! We visited in mid July of ‘22. The town of Glacier, the National Park, the view from Artist’s point, the Snowline neighborhood and its recreation area, and the cabin itself far exceeded our expectations!
The National Park is beyond description. We played baseball with sticks and snowballs on a sunny July day up at the peak. We later went swimming in a glacier lake with snow still on the banks. The park welcome center in Glacier was so helpful with ideas for hikes and excursions! Such a beautiful place with cool weather!
Glacier is a cute little town, reminding us of the fictional town in Northern Exposure. Check out the Wake and Bakery for great coffee, scones, and a chill vibe. Graham’s General Store was a fun place to pick up essentials and get some ideas from Jeff on how to attack the day. White water rafting also available from Glacier. We did not eat out, but we heard good things about The restaurants.
The pictures on the posting don’t do the neighborhood or the cabin justice. The cabin is surrounded by huge old-growth trees and luscious forest undergrowth. A trail starting at Snowline leads you on a fantastic tour through a wild forest landscape along the Nooksack River, a raging torrent fed by the snow melt from Mount Baker. The pool and recreation area were clean and well-managed and a fun, relaxing way to cap a day on the mountain. Our youngster loved this place and made lots of friends.
The cabin was perfect! A wonderful little rustic oasis with well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, tidy bathrooms, convenient laundry, plentiful dvd movies, and a delightful hot tub tucked into the woods.
Do your grocery shopping before you get to Glacier. And book at least 4 days! There is just too much to do and see.
We were a party of 6 with 3 kids, ranging in age from 9 to 18 and grandma (79-don’t tell her I shared her age!) came too. All loved the stay at Cabin 66!
