Lovely property in a beautiful setting! Cabin was as described and was well appointed with access to extra towels and bedding. Kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The evening elk visits were magical, and the hot tub was a wonderful treat for sore muscles after days full of hiking. Beds, especially the loft king, were extremely comfortable. Plenty of space to visit, play games and hangout both inside and on the beautiful deck. Jesse responded instantly to questions, and the check-in/departure instruction were clear. The cleaning service missed some things, but this didn't detract from our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

The house was very comfortable, with plenty of room. The beds were comfortable. Everything needed for our stay was available. The host let us know ahead that the heating system was being worked on but the back up heat kept it nice and warm. Were conveniently close to town. Loved the big windows with a lot of light even on gloomy days.

Beautiful property. Convenient to Hwy 12 for exploring the area, but remote enough to have dark skies for gazing at the amazing stars and Milky Way from the hot tub and deck. Great house. Hit all the boxes for a family experience.

Great homebase for our Mount Rainier hiking excursions. There were deer and elk in the immediate neighborhood each morning at sunrise, a wonderful plus. The house was great, beds comfortable, everything clean - great stay. Thanks so much.

Lovely home!

We had a wonderful stay! It is always fun when your family sees a home for the first time and says, "Wow!" We loved the sitting area with the giant windows. The home was very clean and comfortable (however, the bed upstairs was too soft for us, so we slept downstairs). It was a great base for exploring Mount Rainier NP. We would definitely stay here again.
