4 nights at The Gem at Mt. Baker.

This place was a great find! My daughter and I were so happy with our stay here. Everything was very clean when we arrived. The little kitchenette was perfect for our needs, and we enjoyed several simple meals. The bathroom is tiny but completely functional. There is only about 4-5 minutes of hot water for showering, but that’s enough if you know about it ahead. The location is terrific, close to beautiful trails and a slightly longer drive to Mt Baker. The host provided great instructions—definitely screenshot them as she suggests because there is no cell phone service in the area. We couldn’t figure out the animal-proof trashcan, unfortunately, felt bad about that because we had to rush out to make our boat on the last day. This place had everything we needed, and we’d love to visit again!

Where to go

The San Juan Islands

Across the Bellingham Bay from Geneva, the San Juan Islands are known for their beautiful natural scenery and ample opportunities for outdoor fun. Whale-watching is particularly popular here, with year-round opportunities to spot these marine mammals.

The North Cascades

East of town, the North Cascades region and North Cascades National Park is home to some of the least-touched scenery in the state. Just be prepared to hike or backpack as much of this wild expanse can only be accessed on foot.

The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest

Stretching along the western Cascade Range, this national forest is a great place to hike and camp, especially in the summer. It's also the site of snow-capped Mount Baker, an active volcano that attracts plenty of mountain climbers.

When to go

Geneva and the surrounding area is pleasant throughout the year, though low temperatures from December through March make it less than desirable for camping, especially if you don't have cold weather-rated gear and good rain protection. The climate here is cool and rainy throughout the year, although July and August can have highs in the low 70s and usually don't get more than four or five days of rain.
