About this property

AREA FAVORITE! Stunning Creek-Front Cabin, Just Minutes From Mt. Rainier!

At just five minutes from the entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park and sleepy town of Ashford, WA this cabin has it all!

Features include a spacious living room with vaulted ceiling and large chalet style windows overlooking Big Creek and views of Osborn Mountain! The living room also has a wood burning stove, flat screen TV with Netflix, and library with books for readers of all ages! Full sized kitchen is equipped with stove, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, dish washer, and dining table. Washer/dryer included.

The upstairs loft is furnished with one (1) queen-size bed. Bed's pillow top mattress guarantees guests sleep well during their time in the woods! The beautifully tiled bathroom has a full size tub which is perfect for a shower, or a relaxing bubble bath during your mountain getaway.

Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea on the large creek front deck as you watch the water rush by. The view is especially idyllic in the winter months as the snow falls soundlessly. Watch the stars shine through the trees as you enjoy a s'more, or a glass of wine around the outdoor fire pit.

Just shy of 3/4 of an acre, the property makes you feel like you are in the heart of nature. Wildlife is sure to be seen and heard!

Guests can rest assured that their vehicle is protected under the covered car port after a day of exploring!

Be sure to drive up to Paradise for an one-of-a-kind experience and view of Mt. Rainier, the most glaciated mountain in the lower 48! On your way back to the cabin, try traditional Nepalese fair from local restaurant, The Wildberry.

We welcome you to our little piece of Paradise, and hope you enjoy your stay!

We stayed here while exploring mt Rainer for a couple of days and fell in love with the place! It’s right on a little creek and you can spend the mornings drinking coffee and listening to it on the porch or through the windows! There is also a bunch of deer that like to visit at dusk and dawn that you can watch! It’s located right next to the entrance of mt Rainier so it took us only about 5-10 min to get there! Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area!

Wonderful property. Perfect for a couple looking for a quiet retreat close to Mt. Rainier. Great indoor and outdoor spaces. So close to Ashford as well. Communication with the owner was timely and informative. The check in/out process was easy. This is definitely top of the list if we make it back to the area.

Fantastic location, very clean and comfortable, accurate listing- I couldn’t ask for a better experience! The view and sound of the creek from the porch is absolutely magical. I enjoyed watching a family of deer visit the yard every day around sunset. There are plenty of books, games, and entertainment for rainy days inside or you can drive 40 min to Paradise for stunning hikes on Mt Rainier. Detailed information about the cabin and your stay is provided in a binder.

The property is basically as described. The major flaw is the bed and bedding. Apparently, I missed the one review regarding the bed situation, but it was spot on. The bed has zero support and every movement makes the entire bed move. The neighbors across the creek have a porch light that shines directly into the loft and there’s nothing to block it besides a sheer curtain. Our first night I gave up and slept on the couch. The second night, my husband ended up on the couch because apparently I kept moving which woke him up. The pillows also weren’t great, so we were grateful to have our travel pillows. If the bed/bedding/light situation is rectified, it would get 5 stars.

About the host

Hosted by Joshua and Marisha McDowell

Host profile image
Thank you so much for choosing our cabin for your mountain getaway!! A little bit about us -- Josh is a firefighter and professional mountain climbing guide with three summits of Mt. Everest, multiple others in South America, Antarctica and 100+ summits of Mt. Rainier! Marisha is an avid runner, hiker and kayaker. She has been to the top of Mt. Rainier 4 times, and counting!

Why they chose this property

Spending time outdoors is something incredibly important to us, as is this cabin. It is something we had searched for a long time, and when we found it -- it just felt meant to be. We happily welcome you to our little piece of Paradise.

What makes this property unique

Everything we had been searching for in a cabin made our choice ideal. The proximity to Mt. Rainier and its vast National Park, the small town atmosphere, and the feeling you get when being in the woods. Nothing is more serene and peaceful than hearing the sounds of Big Creek, seeing the view of Osborn Mountain from the back deck, and watching the snow fall.
