About this property
Elk Cabin, Hot Tub, AC, Fire Pit, River Access
Prime Location! The Elk Cabin is steps away from the Cowlitz River Access and within walking distance to Downtown Packwood (fine breweries, coffee, and restaurants). From living room you have a view of both Mt. Rainier and the river. The White Pass Ski Area and some of the best hiking spots in the central cascades are all just minutes away!
Enjoy the Hot Tub, BBQ Grill on deck, WiFi, smart TV with Netflix, fun wood-burning stove, backyard fire pit, and the convenience of stacked washer and dryer. The highly efficient heat pump/AC provides both heating and cooling for year-round comfort.
You will get a fantastic view of Mt. Rainier and the Cowlitz River on a clear day from the front yard and the Hot Tub.
The bathroom is always stocked with extra towels, soap, and toilet paper. The kitchen is equipped with all cooking essentials: salt, cooking oil, plates, utensils, and cooking pots. The nearby grocery store provides everything else you need for a memorable vacation cookout. Notice this cabin does not have a dishwasher, and guests are expected to wash their dishes before departure.
