Cozy, clean, comfortable, and cute. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay in the Tahoma Cabin on Sahara Creek. We had an enjoyable extended weekend getaway right outside Mount Rainier National Park. We got to visit and explore the area, and see some of the Nisqually side of the Park, with the Tahoma Cabin serving as our home base. The wood burning stove kept us plenty warm. The babbling brook of Sahara creek provided a pleasant serenity hanging out on the porch and by the fire pit. Just a beautiful little sacred space for rejuvenating the soul. What a kindness for the owners to share this little piece of Paradise with travelers to and through the area. The next time we make a trip to the area, we will definitely see if it’s available and would return in a heartbeat. As far as we’re concerned, it’s just perfect.

The cabin was lovely and just a short drive from the park entrance. The cabin was clean and well stocked. My family enjoyed building a camp fire at the fire pit, playing ball outside and playing Nintendo in the evenings. We can’t wait to return.
