Weekend Getaway

This was our second time staying at the Red Chalet, and hopefully not our last. The home is well stocked with everything you need, lots of comfy beds, a cozy indoor wood burning stove, hot tub, fast WiFi, and close proximity to all the activities Mt Rainier offers. It was perfect for our weekend get-away and would be great for longer stays, as well.

Perfect Getaway Cabin

This is the perfect place for a getaway. The host's are very accommodating and easily accessible. Cabin had a hot tub, and stoked verywell with dishes, appliances and other kitchen needs including bath robs and plenty of bath towels for guest. We will definitely be renting again.

Awesome cabin

Stayed here with friends after climbing Rainier. It was perfect! Nice and quiet, yet super close to town. We loved the outdoor space and the shade was most welcomed. The games and puzzles were so fun, we all ended up doing a huge puzzle and had a blast with it. We will absolutely be back, as this is a perfect location.

Great family stay near Paradise

My family and I found that the "Red Chalet" met our expectations, and provided plenty of space for the 7 of us. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, the hot tub was a favorite, and the location would be difficult to beat for a Paradise visit. The only issue we had was with the wifi - as can probably be expected for a remote area, the wifi was really spotty, and did not work for us for most of our stay. If you plan to stay here, plan on a great stay with poor internet connection and cell service.

Great Location!!!

The cabin is very comfortable, there were 8 of us, 6 adults and 2 children, and we had plenty of room for sleeping arrangements, games, dining and relaxing. Everything inside the cabin was clean and functional. The cabin was stocked very well with all the necessities including towels, kitchen utensils, condiments, spices, games... The proximity to Mt. Rainier National Park was very convenient too. The owners were very accommodating and pleasant. We would recommend this place to anyone without any hesitation. Thank you.

Perfect Place for Mt. Rainier NP

We had a wonderful time. The house had plenty of everything. The kitchen and the bathrooms were very well stocked. The house was exactly as described but the upstairs bathroom door did not work well and needed some fixing. You can skip the long car line waiting at the national park's entrance if you stay here. It was a pleasure to meet Toby and Randy. Highly recommended.

A Little Piece of Paradise

Comfortable cabin with a spacious layout for larger family with some private rooms for adult kids / spouses. Huge dining table that’s great for games and crafts. Small tv room that keeps the tv noise away from the central gathering area. Deep forest vibe. There are neighbors but the other cabins are spread out and there’s lots of trees providing privacy. Plus walking distance to a large river that’s fun to explore. Bring all your groceries and fill up your gas tank as there are very limited / expensive options for food and supplies.

Property was lo ely, clean and well fitted out with a full kitchen. Hot tun and outdoor firepot exactly as advertised. Heads up, the upstairs are a bit challenging to climb if there are any persons in your group with leg issues or who are old. Its pretty steep. Otherwise, excellent place to syay.

Beware! Worst VRBO Experience Ever

The moment we arrived, the front door was wide open, welcoming us with a swarm of mosquitos. The kitchen is ridiculously small—two people can barely fit! Despite having plenty of beds, there’s nowhere for everyone to relax together. The layout is a disaster, and the TV placement is awful. Only three people can watch at a time!! Sloped ceilings made getting in and out of bed a nightmare. And the hosts? Absolute jerks. Save yourself the trouble—DO NOT RENT this place!

Winter getaway with friends

This is an easy place to stay with lots of friends, including couples. The access to Mt. Rainier is fabulous. My only complaint is that the hot tub had not been cleaned when we arrived. It was cleaned the next day and took awhile to heat up and for the water to settle.

Friendsgiving

I stayed with 7 friends at the property with our 2 dogs and had such a great time. There’s a huge table for lots of family time and puzzles. The hot tub is nice and private. The cabin is like a 2 minute drive to the Mt Rainier NP entrance too! There’s a gravel road to walk down the street right by the river (cross the gate). The wood stove kept us cozy and the big windows made for lovely mornings. The kitchen is fully stocked so we were set for our coffee and thanksgiving dinner! The beds are a little old but the cabin is very worth the stay. All of us agreed we would consider coming back in the future.

Cozy Mt Rainier cabin

We were a group of 2 families with 3 children looking for fall colors at Paradise before first snow. The Red Chalet was the perfect jumping off point to enter Mt Rainier from the Ashford entrance of Mt Rainier without a long drive (<5 mins). We were able to enter the park early and stay late given this fantastic proximity. The house was cozy and just right for a hiking vacation. The kids could watch a move in the other room while the adults played a board game. We did find several dirty dishes from a previous guest that had been put back in the cupboards without the owners knowledge, and the hot tub was out of order. But the owners did their best to have it repaired for our stay, and approved early check in and late check out.

Mt. Rainier Magic

Lovely little house very close to Mt. Rainier. Went into park either very late or very early and avoided the traffic. Games and play spaces for the kids, a TV room for Grandpa and plenty of yard space for reading, stick collecting, and quiet contemplation with morning coffee. Couldn’t hear the neighbors, little road traffic and even had a black tail doe walk through the yard. Absolutely delightful and of course very clean and comfortable.
