Resorts West Vacation Club at Snowater

Stayed here in August, 2003 and it was awesome! (The only thing keeping me from going to 5 stars is the lack of a resturant or store of any kind on property.)

Had a 2 BR unit overlooking the Nooksack River. Spent each morning drinking my coffee on the balcony listening to the river rush by and each evening back on the balcony watching the stars come out (did you know how many there are when there's no light pollution?)

Mountain views from the resort are obscured due to the many ridges, but you don't have to go far for BREATHTAKING views. Mt. Baker is amazing - snow-capped even in late August.

Have to admit being a little nervous about going a week w/o TV or telephone with my 6 year old TV- junkie, but there's so much other stuff to do that he never even missed it!

This was definately my most relaxing vacation EVER - I can't wait to go back (maybe in winter for some skiing next time!) Our original plan called for cutting our trip short so that we could spend a day in Seattle, but we didn't want to leave the beautiful surroundings!

Tip: make sure you call ahead if you're going to arrive late in the evening. The office closes at 10pm on Fridays (5pm most other nights) but they'll leave your key for you if you make arrangements.

Just a great, relaxing place for all seasons. Summer is great because of the hiking; winter is wonderful because of the boarding and skiing at Mt. Baker Ski Area. It's surrounded on three sides by the Nooksack River and the property is covered with trees.

Fully equipped condos, 2 indoor pools, tennis courts, jacuzzis, sauna, tennis courts (not in winter!) - there's nothing more you need.
