About this property
Magical Woodland Retreat 8mi from Mt. Rainier’s Nisqually Entrance!
1 set of twin-bed Bunkbeds are offered on main floor and 1 queen bed on the upper-floor loft. 1 full bathroom w/ bathtub/shower. Electric wall heater and wood-burning stove for heat. Fully-equipped kitchen and plenty of seating for everyone!
**Due to our rural location, we are not able to offer discounts or refunds due to power and/or wifi outages.** The wood-burning stove/fireplace will provide heat inside the cabin, and a flashlight and lantern are available for light.
At Tahoma Park House, we offer complimentary Wifi and a starter bundle of firewood to make your stay as stress-free as possible! And the kitchen is stocked with coffee, tea, cocoa, popcorn, olive oil, vegetable oil, salt and pepper, and individual packets of condiments, so you can worry about the big stuff - like did you bring your hiking boots!
This cabin is one of two that we host; both situated at the end of a small community of cabins (5 cabins including these two). The community is surrounded by 1,000+ acres of Elbe Hills State Forest for your exploration and total serenity. There is a State Road that you can walk (or four-wheel) about a mile long and it will take you all the way to a "beach" on the Nisqually River. The other direction takes you towards Ashford, but is a bit more overgrown and longer.
On the property, both cabins share the "meadow space" and tree-fort with the slide. Apart from that, each cabin faces a different direction and offer plenty of privacy even though they are within about 30 yards of each other. It's the best of both worlds whether you rent just one of the cabins and want some privacy, or if you want to rent out both cabins for a larger get together and have separate spaces.
Both cabins have waterfront about half of the year when the Sahara Creek runs (November to June). The rest of the year, the creek bed is dry.
