Except for the hot tub being broken, which it was too hot to use anyway, we enjoyed the cabin very much. The views of Mount Rainier are great.

We took a family vacation with our adult children, and this cabin was perfect. We went hiking Mt. Rainier all day and coming back with the ability to spread out and chill and cook some steaks on the grill and hang out by the fire pit was perfect for our family. It’s important that the kids had their own beds which this cabin provided.

We spent the night here after running the Jack and Jill Marathon in Snoqualmie. Will was a great host. Checked on us several times and left a bottle of sparkling cider. Thank you! We loved the view of the sunset against the mountains while soaking in the hot tub. Very easy access to Mt. Rainier / Stevens Canyon Road / Reflection Lake.
