Comfy country living

Really enjoyed the homey style of this property! A wonderfully kept yard and nice deck for hanging out, this place felt like a home away from home. The comfiest beds and lots of fans and heaters were provided if needed. We really appreciated the level of thought put into providing comfort, not just looking nice or modern.

Perfect getaway cabin

Our stay went off without a hitch. The property was easy to find at night. The house was just as advertised and exceeded our expectations in person. The house was clean and well stocked and nicely decorated for the holiday season. We would definitely stay here again.

Serene and Pleasant

This property is magical. Spent the weekend before Christmas with my family and cherished every moment. It’s a beautiful house and very quiet. The last day, a herd of 30 elk came into the yard. Very pleased.

Great cabin!

This was a great cabin for our group of 7 (ages ranging from 6-75). It was close to Mount Rainier and a relaxing place to rest after a day of hiking. We saw elk on the front lawn multiple times.

The Elk Cabin

Had a great stay at the cabin with my wife and 4 boys. We had plenty of room to spread out, and we enjoyed the large yard with lawn games and of course, hanging in the hot tub after a day hiking. Communication with the owner was fast and easy and other than wishing I could spend more days here, the entire stay was perfect.

Comfortable stay

Stayed here during a hot spell in July and it was nice to have central AC to keep us comfortable during our stay. Everything seemed to be in good condition as well. The highlight, by far, was seeing a herd of about 30 elk come through and graze in the front yard for a few hours for two evenings.

Magical

After a small glitch that Jesse, property host, cleared remarkably well, the stay was exceptional. The property is great. The deck is the best, even when the elk don’t cooperate. Perfect location. Close to the mountain with quirky, Northern Exposure type of town. Got to be experienced.

Mount Rainier Retreat

Enjoyed staying at this cozy and comfortable retreat during our stay hiking the mountains. Enjoyed the hot tub after a long hike. All amenities provided. Very clean, quiet and fairly secluded but close enough to town. Never needed to contact host. All instructions provided via email.

We had a wonderful stay for a White Pass ski weekend. Watching the snow fall outside the panoramic windows from the living room was like being inside a snow globe. Beautiful place, great hosts.

Great location!

At 30 minutes from the Paradise entrance and 45 minutes from the Sunrise entrance, we were able to explore both sides of the park. The house was also located on a quite road with a park like setting. It could have used a deep clean as there were several cobwebs and. spiders in the bathroom. The hot tub also had quite a bit of dirt in it. Overall, we really enjoyed our s in it.

12/10!!! loved our stay

This house was amazing! We booked this house to explore Mt. Rainier and didn't disappoint us. We watched falling starts with the kids while in the hot tub at night, relaxing from the hikes. Packwood downtown was so cute and we enjoyed watching elks eating grass in the morning in front yard. Overall, it was a great stay!
