What more do you need!

This listing caught my eye from the moment I saw it earlier this year because of the riverfront and the mountain views and it did not disappoint at all. In fact, our stay may have converted my wife and I to a tiny home lifestyle after this past weekend. This place felt so much like a home with such awesome attention to detail. It was well worth the commute to Rainier for a couple days of hiking and the little town of Packwood was an amazing escape from our busy city life in Texas. Andrea was a perfect communicator and we’re thankful this was an option for our trip to WA. We’d absolutely recommend this listing and we would love to stay again one day!

Great Stay!

This was a wonderful stay! The view was out of this world! Everything was exactly as described! We even had a herd of Elk walk down the road in front of the cabin one morning! So neat! The only thing I would recommend if you're planning to stay in a tiny house (any not just this one) is that you understand that there is limited water usage. I didn't realize that and require long steamy showers when on vacation to help with chronically dry sinuses. I also didn't think about the loft being straight up a hard ladder. 100% as described, but it was too challenging for my daughter with mobility issues. Overall I wouldn't change a single thing about this place! It was beautiful, communication was fantastic, and location was irreplaceable.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Packwood and all that it has to offer many years ago. We decided to purchase property in 2015 and spent 3 years building a cabin of our own. We have so many wonderful family memories made in Packwood and thought it would be a wonderful spot for others to make memories as well. What better way to enjoy your time and experiencing the surroundings tiny house style. You get see what tiny house living is all about. You might be surprised!
