Great place!
We all enjoyed our time staying here. The house was clean, layout is spacious and great amenities. Wished we had more time to enjoy it all. Didn’t see much wildlife in the property but lots on the way to it (not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing). Overall recommend staying here.

Thank you so much for the kind review! I’m glad to hear everyone enjoyed the home, the spacious layout, and the amenities. It sounds like you made the most of your time, even if it wasn’t long enough!
The wildlife sightings around the area can definitely be part of the adventure—sometimes they’re right on the property, and other times just along the drive in. Either way, it’s always a reminder of how peaceful and surrounded by nature the area is.
Thank you again for the recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime for a longer stay!
We had a wonderful experience at Papa’s Place. Everything is brand new,including the kitchen, shower room, and more and we absolutely loved it. Michelle is an excellent communicator who checked in on us regularly. The outdoor kitchen is fantastic too. After a long day of hiking, the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind. The location is also great. It’s just a 10-minute drive to the gas station, where you can grab basic supplies and even medical items. If we return to Mt. Rainier, we will definitely stay at Papa’s Place again!

We loved our stay at Papa's Place! The hosts were very accommodating and communicative from start to finish. The place was perfect, and didn't leave us wanting or needing a single thing more. It felt as comfortable as home and we didn't want to leave at the end of our stay! The hot tub space was just the relaxation we needed after a long day of traveling. We used the well-appointed covered outdoor area with grill and fire pit one day to make breakfast and enjoy the morning outside. We also especially enjoyed the game table upstairs!Thank you for hosting us! We will recommend your place to others and/or be back if we ever get the chance!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m so happy to hear that Papa’s Place felt like a home away from home for you. It sounds like you really got to enjoy many of the spaces—from relaxing in the hot tub after your travels to making breakfast outside and spending time at the game table upstairs.
I truly appreciate you recommending the cabin to others. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime if your travels bring you to the area again!
We were more than impressed with our three days in this home. It was so nicely decorated and well stocked with everything for our needs. The host did an excellent job planning on all the little extras that made our stay so comfortable. The setting was beautiful and the neighbors far enough away that we had our privacy. The host was very prompt and furnished instructions. She even checked after we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. I told her what a fantastic job her housecleaner did. Everything shined! And we especially loved being in the hot tub on the covered back porch that backs up to the forest.We had rain and snow on the mountain our entire 3 day stay at Mt Rainier. But having such a beautiful home to stay in made our vacation enjoyable. We would recommend this listing wholeheartedly.

I’m especially glad you were able to relax in the hot tub on the covered porch and enjoy the peaceful forest setting. Thank you again for the wholehearted recommendation. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We had a very pleasant stay at Papa’s place. The cabin is incredibly well appointed with everything we needed to cook and be comfortable. The hot tub and outdoor space were a treat and the property as a whole was quiet. Short distance and straight shot to the park entrance made it super convenient!

The house was very cozy and clean and also very accommodating. The host was amazing! We ran into some issues at a previous vacation rental and this house host was super helpful in helping us when we needed a new place to go… this helped make our transition smooth and comfortable! The house was perfect and when they add on the additional space we will definitely be utilizing it for future bigger family trips. Love the location, and the craftsmen of the home.

Great house for a Mt Rainier getaway
We enjoyed our time at Papa’s Place! It was the perfect size for our family of 4. The kids loved the game table, board games, and books in the loft space. The house had everything we needed for our stay and was very comfortable. It is very close to the Nisqually entrance to the National Park. Peaceful area with beautiful scenery!

Our stay at this Mount Rainier cabin was truly one of the best experiences our family has ever had. It was myself, my husband, and our two grown children, and it could not have been more perfect for all of us.From the moment we arrived, we could tell so much thought and care had gone into every detail. The cabin was beautifully decorated cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. They truly thought of everything you could possibly need, which made our stay completely stress-free.One of our favorite parts was definitely the hot tub. After a day of exploring, relaxing under the peaceful surroundings was just incredible. It really made the whole experience feel extra special.Everything about our stay was wonderful from the comfort of the space to the little touches that made it feel like home. We made such great memories here, and it’s a place we’ll always remember. We would absolutely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable getaway.
