Quiet and near lots of hikes -- I loved this place and plan on returning next summer! Here's what I loved most: it's in the Mt Baker National Forest area, and it was my base for many nearby easy day hikes and my Milky Way photo shoot. Note: I don't know what this place is like in the winter with skiers, but for my summertime stay, the area was wonderfully quiet. Hint: Plan on bringing your own food to prep in the kitchenette -- then, you can spend more time hiking and star gazing.
