“Too many rules - too much work - no hot tub”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2010
4
people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed in the "Mt. Baker Cabin" (sleeps 4 people) which you can find if you click on the "Mt. Baker Cabin" link within the Mt. Baker Bed & Breakfast website.
http://www.mtbakerbedandbreakfast.com/

All I can say is that I wish I had read the reviews before booking 2 nights here. I am sorry we stayed here and will never go back.

First of all, this was not a bed and breakfast -- there was no breakfast, not even coffee grounds or tea bags so you can make your own. Even the cheapest budget motels provide that much.

Secondly, we felt misled. In the email and on the website this accommodation was referred to as a cabin, but it was in fact a 1-bedroom apartment over a garage or workshop, as stated in another review here. Please note that the picture on the TripAdvisor website is NOT a picture of where we stayed.

Overall, the negatives far outweighed the positives, but let's look at the good points first.

Positives: It's in the woods, off the highway. Very clean. All the furnishings and carpet seemed new. Good supply of dishes, pots, and silverware. (but who wants to cook on vacation?) 5 minutes drive from Glacier where you can find a grocery store and restaurants.

Now for the Negatives: No view of mountains, just trees. Although "hot tub always available" appeared at least 4 times in emails and literature on site, the hot tub was only available on request and the request needed to be made long in advance of the time you wanted to use it. The hot tub had NOT been turned on for our arrival. The next day, after an arduous hike, I asked about using the hot tub and was told I should have indicated the previous day that I wanted to use it. I was not offered any discount or refund like another reviewer here mentioned, nor was I offered any explanation why it had not been turned on. So beware - it is not "always available" and if you rent here, don't count on the hot tub.

Going on with the negatives, I was chided for asking for the internet access code rather than taking it from my confirmation email. We were told not to wear shoes indoors. There were instructions about cleaning up spills on the carpet and how to avoid the smoke alarm going off when using the stove. No pictures or decorative items in any room added to the impersonal and inhospitable atmosphere created by all the instructions. Heat was barely adequate and the complex heating system proved impossible to regulate despite detailed instructions. The double bed had a foam mattress and wasn't very comfortable.

But here's the real kicker: to avoid a cleaning fee, you must strip the beds and put all linens and used towels in the laundry basket. You must also wash the dishes and put them away, and turn off all the lights and leave the blinds open for the plants!! Nowhere on the internet was this place advertised as a self-service lodging.

I paid $329.29 (including tax) for 2 nights -- in advance by check (they don't accept payment by credit card). For that price, I expect a whole lot more.

I have been looking up places on Tripadvisor for years and never have a ran across such a horrible place in my life! I dont know where to start! We stayed in the cabin which shouldnt even be called a cabin just a loft above someones shop the cabin(loft) was clean but the pillows had stains all over them the pull out bed was horrible we had bed sheets right out of the 70's that looked like they got taken off an 8 year olds bed.... We tried to watch TV and the channels kept coming in and out..... The kitchen ware was so gross and old... The bathroom you get a used bar of soap to shower with which had hair on it gross.... Before you do anything you have to make sure its ok with the rules (i have never seen so many instructions and rules in my life).... The grounds where in horrible shape weeds over grown no beauty at all for a B & B..... I have been all over the world for travel and Mission trips and i have never complained about a place in my life but when u charge $200 a night you expect things to at least be cozy and nice... I truly wouldnt recommend this place to any one maybe just to sleep in but thats it!!

“Peaceful, beautiful, private....a great place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2009

Our stay at The Inn was fabulous. The entire property was incredibly clean and the beds are extremely comfortable! The views were spectacular. Sits 3,000 feet back off Hwy 542 and is surrounded by the beauty of the Northern Cascades. If a quiet, scenic getaway is what you are looking for, this place is perfect. Breakfast was really good too! We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

“More like "room in basement of someone's house" rather than B&B”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2009

people found this review helpful

Should not be advertised as a B&B...It has no views of anything, no balcony, patio, privacy, overpriced and so on. Describe what it is. Overall a 1 star out of 10. I've stayed at numerous B & B's and hotels, spas and resorts and rarely am I ever disappointed. At least offer something and decorate the rooms...

“Clean and Peaceful Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2008

My husband and I spent three nights at Mt. Baker Bed & Breakfast in September 2008. We reserved Room #3 which has both a private bath and private entrance. It was perfect for our needs with a small fridge, microwave, table and couch in a living area, and a separate bedroom with a queen bed. The rooms and bath were spotlessly clean, and the grounds at the B&B are beautifully kept.

This was a perfect "base camp" for spending our days at the Mt. Baker Ski Area. It is in a very quiet location, but is only five minutes away from restaurants and services in Glacier.

Hosts Vel and Jacque were friendly but unobtrusive. We would definitely stay there again.
