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!

Perfect base camp for Mt Rainier!

This property is clean (and I’m picky!), and exactly as described. Super short drive to the park. The deer are friendly and the babbling brook behind the cabin is relaxing. We’ll stay here every time we go to Mt Rainier.

Nice property and cozy cabin. Not quite as secluded as the pictures let on, but sound of the creek below gives a lot of privacy.

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.
