Loved the fact this place was right at the entrance to Mt. Rainier. When visiting national parks and hiking all day it's nice to not have a long drive back to where you are staying. Also the hot tub was a nice bonus to relaxing in after a long day of hiking.

Perfect basecamp for Mt Rainier

We loved our stay here! It was the perfect location, literally a couple hundred yards from the entrance to the park. The nearby Nisqually river was fun also. Well-stocked kitchen, fun fire pit and hot tub, comfy beds and plenty of room for our group of 9. Highly recommend!

Thanks for helping in making great memories

The house was very well stocked and comes with a beautiful piece of property around us. It felt very cozy even though it had lots of room for our group of 4 to spread out. So close to Nisqually entrance into Mt Ranier Park which made it super convenient. Highly recommend this house for your stay while visiting Mt Rainier Park.
