Happy to meet people near Seattle for a glass of wine or coffee. Our main home is in Woodinville, WA so easier to meet up in the greater Seattle area.
We had a wonderful 4 night stay at Jacky and Marc's cabin near Mt. Baker. We visited the area last summer for a few days and were very excited to return to see more of the incredible natural beauty of the area. Their cabin is in a great location, near the town of Glacier for supplies and eating out (loved Wake and Bake and Gunners) and close to a plethora of hiking options. Our favorite hike was to Lake Ann (stunning views, waterfalls, glaciers, wildflowers), but Chain of Lakes and Yellow Aster Butte also did not disappoint. Having the hot tub to soak in after a long day of hiking was perfect! The cabin itself is roomy, comfortable and very clean. As the weather was quite nice, we spent a lot of time lounging on the deck. A highlight was seeing a pair of barred owls fly through the yard one evening then perch nearby calling back and forth to each other for about half an hour. For anyone who wants a true experience of the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, I'd highly recommend a stay with Jacky and Marc.
We just had a wonderful 8 day stay in Glacier, Wa!
Marc and Jacky’s cabin is absolutely adorable, comfortable and very cozy. Located in the woods and very private/secluded but also fully stocked with everything you need and very clean.
We loved being so close to hiking trails and waterfalls. I used "AllTrails" to check for the smaller trails not well known and was able to walk from the house to lone pine trail head with no issues. Only spent a small amount of time on the road. Lone pine trail was wonderful and the dogs loved it too!
We thoroughly enjoyed the spa after a long hike and also the wood burning fireplace. Even though it was summer, for us being from Hawaii it was quite cold! Having a fire was a real treat.
They left us a lovely welcome basket of goodies and we had great communication from beginning to end.
We would love to come back sometime and look forward to welcoming Marc and Jacky to Hawaii later this year.
Cute and cozy cabin nestled into the woods. Secluded and felt like a true get-away! We appreciated all the communication with Marc and Jacky before our stay on specifics for the property. Being so close to all the popular hiking trails meant we were able to beat the crowds and enjoy some areas to ourselves! Thanks for a relaxing stay!
Rebecca & Larry
So happy you were able to experience and enjoy the PNW hikes during fall and the changing of colors. Looking forward to exploring your area in Fenruary!
This was my first PLU experience, and I couldn’t have asked for better hosts than Jacky and Marc! They set up a FaceTime call to make sure I had all the info and welcomed me into the PLU community with open arms. They sent check-in details and recommendations ahead of time and were super accommodating when we needed to shift the trip by a day.
I had some urgent work matters come up right before the trip and didn't make it in the end but my family had an amazing time! They loved the cabin and enjoyed many of Marc and Jacky's recommendations like Picture Lake, the Chain Links Trail to Iceberg Lake, and Nooksack Falls. Thanks for making their trip so special!
This is an ideal ski cabin or summer hiking cabin! It’s nestled into the rainforest. The hot tub is very private and if you’re not from the PNW, the forest will be a real treat! My boys found fairy doors!
It’s a 20 min drive to the ski hill which is laid back ski hill with minimal to no lines. Lots of expert terrain especially if you go slack country or back country.
We even did a day trip to Seattle from the cabin!
The cabin was super clean and comfy. Perfect for families. Highly recommended!!!
Jacky and Marc’s cabin is perfectly placed for skiing or summer activities at Mt.Baker. The cabin is beautifully furnished with tons of natural light and yet cozy and very comfortable after a day in the snow. Great amenities particularly the hot tub set up and large deck.
Wish we’d brought our dogs!
Proximity to town (Glacier) super easy to get the best coffee and breakfast at Wake’n’Bakery and the Glacier ski shop and supermarkets.
North Fork Brewery also recommended.
I am hoping to do a summertime visit and make the most of trails, hiking, tennis and pickleball!!
Jacky was a wonderful host. Her communication was great. The cabin is absolutely gorgeous! We had a lot of rain while we were there, but watching the forest, listening to the rain on the roof, and stoking the fire was a wonderful way to relax! It is definitely on our list of places to come back to next time we're in the area!
Adorable, cozy, and clean A-frame cabin located in the forests near Mt Baker, Washington. Jacky was very easy to work with and sent every detail we needed to know beforehand and was so accommodating when our travel party unexpectedly increased by 1 person and we were arriving after midnight. The area is stunning in everyway and not crowded (at least in the summertime), even on the 4th of July weekend. Summer hiking abounds, and I hear winter skiing here is top-notch. The hot tub was enjoyed by all of us since summer temperatures can still be quite chilly. 100% recommend Jacky's cabin and this "off-the-beaten path" area of the Pacific Northwest!
Marc, Jacky and their two boys were a pleasure to host in Hawaii! Communication was always fabulous and the bonus was, we actually got to meet briefly at the airport as they were leaving and we were flying back home!
This was a wonderful non-simultaneous exchange and we hope we can do another one in the future! Mahalo 🌺🌋
Jacky & Marc were super guests to have in our home, along with a friend and also their grown son.
They left the house spotless and communicated well.
Although we didn't manage to meet them in person, it was great to video chat beforehand and go over the house. Looking forward to spending time later this winter in their mountain cabin.
Would recommend this super family!
We had the pleasure of meeting Jacky and Marc before our exchange, and right away we knew they embodied what makes PLU such a special community. They’re a wonderful couple, warm, friendly, and easy to talk to. Hosting them was a joy. They communicated well and timely, took great care of our home, and left it spotless, with every post-stay detail thoughtfully handled. Coming home to such a clean, organized space and finding their lovely, thoughtful (yet totally unnecessary) gift was a nice surprise. We love the gift and will definitely use it often. We feel lucky to have crossed paths with Jacky and Marc and hope to see them again, whether through another PLU exchange or a casual meet-up, perhaps in their lovely Washington state area or somewhere here in Southern California. They will always be welcome back in our home(s). Truly the kind of guests every host dreams of!
Marc and Jacky are wonderful and thoughtful guests. We enjoyed meeting them in person and chatting over dinner the first night. They went far above and beyond on house cleanup and laundry (my departure instructions are short!) and we came home to a spotless house. Great communication and hope to swap again!
Jacky, Marc and their family were wonderful guests in our home. They were great at communicating from the moment we engaged. Although we never got to meet each other in person we felt we got to know them a little through our video chat before their visit. They were also exceptionally understanding when the water heater went out during their stay and the replacement was not immediately possible. Despite this big inconvenience they made do without a complaint. They are the embodiment of what the spirit of a PLU home exchange can bring about and we cannot thank them enough for this.!
It was a pleasure having Jacky and Marc stay at my place. They're kind, self-sufficient and took great care of my place and left everything clean and tidy. They’re welcome back anytime!”
Jacky and Marc were wonderful guests! They initiated a FaceTime meeting so we could meet and talk about our exchange which was very nice!
They took great care of our home and we are excited to stay at their home soon:)
Jacky was so wonderful in her communications. She responded quickly to any texts or emails. They left our place sparkling clean. Very respectful and easy swap!
Jacky and Mark are super fun guests. Great communication at all times and left our beach cottage impeccable. We would love to have them back anytime.
Jacky and family were great. We got to meet them for an evening with impromptu dinner and wine. They left the "house" clean and they were happy. That's the best, right?
Jacky and her family were wonderful guests. They left the space sparkling clean and even did the laundry prior to their departure. We do look forward to visiting their home in the future!
Sally was great with communication and her home was lovely, clean and in a great location.
Very peaceful! I appreciated her leaving us the 2 kyaks on the water for us to use.
Highly recommend~
Thank you Jacky, so happy it all worked out perfectly for your trip. We would always welcome you back and look forward to visiting your cabin.
Fabiola and John,s place in Laguna beach is a treat. Close in and walkable to a great beach, nice restaurants and shops. Their beautiful home has everything one might want for a relaxing time. Especially nice that they had beach chairs/umbrella available. Enjoyed their peaceful back patio after a fun filled day exploring the area. Numerous hikes nearby as well. So nice to meet in person when we arrived! Would love to host Fabiola and John up at our Mt. Baker Cabin anytime.
Nancy and Brock were wonderful guests. Communication thru it was great. They enjoyed many of the wonderful and beautiful hikes at Mt Baker. We would love to have them back sometime.
Kirsten and Laura were great! Wonderful communication. They were very respectful of our home and we look forward in visiting their home in October. They are welcome anytime back.. we hope their next exchange is great for them as well.
Marc and Jacky
Rebecca & Larry's home was super clean & comfortable. They were wonderful hosts and even picked us up from the airport and hosted dinner before they left. Their home is in a fantastic location where we could catch the bus easily to the ski mountain and walk to downtown Steamboat. HIghly reccemmend!
Fiona & Gary were wonderful hosts. We liked connecting via video chat prior to our visit. Home was clean, cozy & well stocked. They made a wonderful binder full of information & great things to do in the area. Highly recommend!! We had a great trip, the only thing that would have made it better was more snow ❄️😊
We had a great time in Vancouver! Yanni’s condo is very centrally located and she gave great restaurant recommendations. I think she is adding this info to her profile, but parking is not included so that was a little tricky but we figured it out😊
Jessica and her family were wonderful guests. Communication from the beginning and throughout was great. When are travel plans are iinclude her part of the world we certainly will reach out.
Thank you Jessica.
Carey's condo is on the North side of the island. It was fun to explore this area as we usually stay in Kihei. A wonderful bay sits just in front with great snorkling, a variety of fish and lots of turtles.- Rent snorkle exuipment at Snorkle Bobs and you are set! The condo is comfortable and has a great view of the bay & ocean, fabulous sunsets too. Easy parking. The condo was well equiped and we appreciated the beach chairs and beach towels to use at Napili Beach nearby.
We had a facetime call with Carey which was fun to connect. Checkin/out was easy with their property management company.
We paid the $325 cleaning fee via Venmo to Carey
Highly reccommend and would love to stay here again!
Rebecca & Larry were wonderful guests. We had a video chat and a few emails before their stay to answer questions, get to know eachother and share check in and out instructions. I was super happy to hear that they enjoyed a few wonderful fall hikes in our area. We would love to have them back anytime~
Yanni and her family were wonderful guests at the Baker Place Cabin. Communication was great. We coordinated via FaceTime prior to their arrival to get to know each other and answer any questions. We look forward in staying at Yanni’s place in Vancouver BC in early January 2025.
Tanya was great at communcating. We had a video chat beforehand and txted.
It was a fun "local" drivable exchange. We each got to see a little of the area and ski a new mountain.
Home was clean, fully stocked with essential items and very comfortable.
Good directions were given. Ferry was easy to use.
Parking was a little tricky as there was a snowfall before we arrived so only 2-3 spots open and filled with snow. Luckily a tractor cleared a spot for us. A little bit of a walk with gear took several trips. I understand you can call a service which we would reccommend if you have little kids, elderly or a lot of stuff.
Area is lovely! Would be great for hiking in the summer too~
Matt was great and even txt me a few pictures of the snow at the cabin. I think they had a great time. It was a pleasure having them as our guests. I later found out that Lisa did not make the trip but am hopeful they will come back another time and Lisa can enjoy the cabin and the area.
Since we had already done our exchange and met Matt & Lisa at their home last October, I felt comfortable and that we already had a friendship so they would let me know if they needed anything when staying at our home.
Lisa & Matthew were wonderful hosts!
Great communication from the begining, wonderful greeting with hawaiian treats & beverages upon arrival. Was able to play tennis with Lisa and her friends which was a great bonus. We loved the umbrealla and beach chairs too. The nearby beaches are GORGEOUS!!
The cottage was cosy and comfortable, it had everything you need and super clean.
We look forward to hosting their family at our Mt Baker Cabin in February!
Jacky
Barbara & Jack were wonderful hosts and their guest house in west Hawaii is comfortable and well equipped. They are seasoned exchangers and have the perfect set up. We look forward to returning some day!
Bevan & his family were great guests. I appreciated the communication and prompt responses. We would be happy to host again!
Estela and her family were great.
I was able to do a call prior to her arrival, great communication throughout the planning process and stay.
Really appreciated that she shared with me how much her family enjoyed it, along with some of the things they did during their stay. We would love to have Estela and her family back to the Baker Place Cabin in Glacier, Washington any time!
We had a wonderful stay in Colorado Springs. Kayla's place was very clean and had so many wonderful "extras". She had farm fresh eggs & snacks for us that were greatly appreciated. I loved the bath and the bath bomb after I did a big hike- heaven. The bed was super comfy. It was very spacious for just the two of us. The location and parking could not have been better for all the things we did over the weekend. 5 Star rating for sure!
Looking forward to hosting Kayla & Ninya ( & family) at our place sometime in the future~

We are an active family that loves to ski/snowboard. We also like hiking, and all water sports (boating, wake surfing, surfing, swimming and just sitting on the beach). Love to experience unique local attractions (like a hidden waterfall, scenic hike or wonderful restaurant).
