Property Description

Welcome to The Baker House Retreat!  This one-of-a-kind property provides features not found in other Mt. Baker area vacation rentals.  Perched on its own acreage, the retreat is comprised of two dividable cabins in a picturesque and tranquil setting.  Noting that only one Guest party can occupy the premises during each rental occasion, Guests can reserve “The Bunkhouse”, the “Ranch House”, or both!  Here’s the info:

The Ranch House:

This single story structure is packed with features including central heating air conditioning!  As you step inside through the main entrance, you’ll discover a generous sized living area with a sectional couch and upholstered chairs, a flat screen monitor, and a dining table with seating for eight.  Next you’ll discover a well thought out kitchen, complete with a breakfast bar/prep station with two chairs, a coffee station/bar table with two stools, a built-in double oven, a glass top range, a dishwasher, and LOTS of counterspace, plus an additional dining table with seating for five, and 1-full bath.  In addition, there’s one bedroom with 2-sets of standard sized bunk beds and lots of closet space, a second bedroom with 1-full sized bed and 2-sets of standard sized bunk beds plus an ensuite bath with dual sinks and a separate bathtub and shower.  There’s also a mudroom with an additional refrigerator, a full size washer and dryer, and a door accessing a large covered deck complete with a private hot tub!  The Ranch House will sleep up to 10-persons (maximum overnight occupancy).

Talk about photo ops…just steps away from the backyard at the Ranch House, you’ll discover a trail leading down to Maple Creek…which is less than 100 yards away!
 

The Bunkhouse:

This 2-story cabin offers an open floorplan with a freestanding gas fireplace to cozy-up to, a ½-bath, and folding tables/chairs that can be arranged to accommodate gatherings for hobbies such as scrapbooking, stamping, and quilting, as well as serving as a gathering place for skiing and hiking clubs, weddings, family reunions, and corporate retreats.  Ascending the staircase to the second floor reveals a small greeting area/parlor, an open sleeping area with 3-twin beds, 1-full bed, and 1-set of standard sized bunk beds, plus another freestanding gas fireplace, a ¾-bath, and a small balcony for relaxing and taking in Mother Nature.  The Bunkhouse will sleep up to 7-persons (maximum overnight occupancy).  Please note that there are no kitchen facilities in The Bunkhouse.

 

Reserving a la carte:

When only The Bunkhouse is reserved, Guests do have access to the hot tub and BBQ, but do not have access to the Ranch House nor it’s accompaniments (including its kitchen and additional restrooms).  When only the Ranch House is reserved, Guests do not have access to the Bunkhouse nor it’s accompaniments (including its tables/chairs and additional restrooms).  When both properties are reserved, Guests have full access to all provided amenities.  Collectively, the two properties will accommodate up to 17-persons (total maximum occupancy). 
*Please contact us for reservations based upon the size of your family group.
