    Cozy Evenings Inside

    • Operates using the remote control.

    • Feel free to enjoy the flame effect with or without heat.

    🔥 Chiminea

    Fireside Evenings

    Few things are better than gathering around the chiminea after sunset.

    Firewood

    Firewood and fire starters are available at the Valley Market.

    We provide roasting sticks as part of our complimentary s'mores kit.

    Before Lighting

    Please verify that outdoor burning is permitted.

    No recreational fires are allowed from June 15 through September 15.

    Sudden Valley Community Association (SVCA) burn restrictions may be more restrictive than Whatcom County regulations. Please follow SVCA rules, as they always take precedence within the community.

    Before You Leave

    • Allow the fire to burn down naturally whenever possible.

    • If needed, use the garden hose located beside the hot tub fill a pail to extinguish.

    • Ensure all embers are cold before leaving the area unattended.

    Never leave a fire unattended.

  • Everyone has their favorite spot—and these are ours.

    ☕ Morning Coffee
    The upper deck is the perfect place to enjoy sunrise with a fresh cup of coffee.

    ♨️ Evening Soak
    Relax in the hot tub while listening to the sounds of the forest.

    🔥 After Dark
    Gather around the chiminea for stories, s'mores, and stargazing.

    🦌 Wildlife Watching
    The deck near the hot tub is a favorite spot to see deer, squirrels, birds, and the occasional bald eagle. While extremely rare, black bears and cougars do inhabit the surrounding forests—please enjoy wildlife from a respectful distance.

    ⭐ Night Sky
    Our tree canopy creates a cozy forest setting. On clear nights, you can still catch beautiful views of the stars from the upper deck.
