INSIDE SNOWATER NOOK
After a day of skiing, hiking or exploring the Mt. Baker area, settle into the living room and warm up beside the wood burning fireplace. The stone hearth and surrounding forest create the kind of cozy mountain atmosphere that makes it easy to slow down and stay awhile.
The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing breakfast before the trails, packing a ski day lunch or sharing a relaxed dinner at home. A washer and dryer are also available inside the condo, making longer stays and wet weather adventures a little easier.

Bedroom:
• One queen bed
The private bedroom offers a comfortable place to recharge after a full day outside. The home has one full bathroom.
OUTDOOR SETTING
Step outside into a peaceful landscape of towering evergreens, forest paths and the sounds of the nearby Nooksack River. A trail begins near the condo and leads through the community toward the riverfront and surrounding forest.
The corner location offers a quieter, more tucked-away setting than many traditional resort stays. During warmer months, the surrounding trees also help keep the condo naturally shaded and comfortable.

One starter bundle of firewood is provided. Additional firewood may be purchased from the Snowater office during operating hours.
This home is not pet friendly.
Snowater Nook offers a simple combination that is increasingly difficult to find: a quiet place for two, a real fire at the end of the day and the forest waiting just outside.
Guests have access to the whole condo and Snowater Resort's sounds and amenities.
After a full day of skiing or exploring the trails, unwind with a soak in the hot tub or take a dip in one of the two heated indoor pools. Guests can also enjoy the resort’s tennis courts, pool table, sauna, fitness center, squash courts, adult lounge, outdoor BBQ areas, and nearby walking paths. For more information, stop by the front desk.

Guests have access to two clubhouses with heated indoor pools, hot tubs, a cedar sauna, fitness facilities, game rooms and a variety of indoor and seasonal outdoor sports courts. Outdoor gathering areas, playgrounds, charcoal grills and riverfront picnic spots make it easy to enjoy the community without leaving the resort.
Snowater is conveniently located for exploring Glacier, Mt. Baker and the surrounding national forest. Spend the day skiing, snowboarding, hiking, fishing or sightseeing, then return to a peaceful community where the river and forest set the pace.
