About this property

Packwood Ski & Vacation Getaway

This cabin is perfect for a family and has three separate sleeping areas. It has a bedroom on the main floor with queen bed. In addition, two twin beds are in a loft. There is also a full bed in another small bedroom in the same loft. This loft also has a den with TV. One bathroom on the main floor features a full tub and shower. For heat, you have a choice of a wood stove or heat pump (mini-split) or individual wall heaters throughout. Has AC for summertime use. Choice of two barbeques (large or small) as well as a fire pit. This cabin has a spiral staircase to get to loft so one must be able to negotiate this staircase if you want to access the extra beds and den with TV. This cabin is small and we recommend 4 adults or 2 adults and two children as the perfect fit to enjoy your stay.

This cabin is small which makes it cozy. The living, dining and kitchen is one room and consists of a table with 4 chairs, a bench for two and a futon for two. We supply wi-fi as well as DVD and Bluetooth Speaker for cell phones.

Nice appliances include electric stove, microwave, refrigerator, crock pot, coffeepot, toaster, dishwasher, iron, coffee bean grinder and washer and dryer. Adequate pots and pans and dishes, sheets and towels and a hair dryer are all for your use.

This cabin sits high on a hill in a very nice and safe neighborhood not in any flood zones. The driveway is steep and comes to a tee. It is best to drive facing forward to the tee and turn right and stop. Then back up your vehicle to the cabin. This makes it easier to get back down. For those uncomfortable with a steep driveway this cabin may not be the right fit for you! While at the cabin can enjoy the outdoors by barbecuing on the covered porch as well as making smores at the firepit with a beautiful view.

Wonderful Cabin

Mike's cabin was a perfect spot for our family of 4 to spend time together and ski at White Pass. The cabin had everything we needed and my kids loved the upstairs. The stairs are steep so be mindful if there are limitations with mobility.

Cozy and comfortable cabin

This cabin is charming! My friend and I took our teens to White Pass to go snowboarding and booked this cabin. It was perfect for the four of us - 4 real beds. Everyone commented about the comfortable beds. Great location - 5 min from stores and restaurants, 30 min from White Pass. Clean, well stocked and thoughtful furnished. It snowed the day before our arrival and the owners plowed the driveway then reached out in advanced to let us know. The owners are outstanding hosts. I highly recommend staying here.

Ski weekend at packwood cabin

As described this a clean cozy cabin a few minutes out of Packwood. Mike was a great communicator both with directions, etc. in advance and with clarifying a question or two. We had three adults and that worked out just fine. More than 4 and it might have been too crowded unless you are family or very good friends. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, utensils and appliances. There were even a few condiments in the fridge and cupboard.

WA Road Trip

Visiting my daughter and she wanted to take us all around to see the sights and areas where she previously lived. This place in Packwood was in a cute little town where we always end up seeing the elk! We only stayed one night because we had to hit the road, but this little cabin was a great place to stay anytime of year. The hosts keep a nice place!

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Grace Childs

Host profile image
Recently retired in Packwood and purchased this cabin as an investment as well as a nice way to stay busy!

Why they chose this property

This property is ideal for us to use as a rental. We live next door. We have been coming to enjoy Packwood since late 70s and finally retired here.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is not in a flood zone. It sits on a hill with a nice view. It has a covered porch with a covered barbeque so it can be used all year around. This cabin also has air conditioning which most cabins in this area do not! There is fishing and hiking nearby. Or there are lots of elk to watch so one can just sit on the deck and relax!

The cabin is located in a nice subdivision out of any flood zones (Skate Creek Terrace). In the event of of snow we recommend a 4 wheel drive as the driveway is steep.
