This was a great location - close to Packwood, and not far from the National Park. The house was clean, kitchen was well stocked with appliances, cooking utensils, dishes, etc. Very comfortable as a home base for day trips into the park.

This is such a beautiful place to stay. We travelled to Washington so that I could hike in Mt. Rainier National Park, and this house is conveniently located just minutes away from it. The home is clean, spacious, comfortable, and well appointed. The owners are very responsive and helpful. And the five acres of property in which it is located are beautiful and peaceful. I would love to stay here again. I almost enjoyed the home and acreage as much as the hiking!

Husband and I have stayed here every year for about 6 years for our anniversary. It has been 10 out of 10 every time! This is a great property with all you need for your mountain home away from home. Lovely scenery around the home and property, complete with a little creek! Excellent jump off point for many wonderful hiking trails as well!

Relaxing home in a beautiful setting

First time staying in this home but have stayed at several others in the Packwood area. This home exceeded its description and our expectations! Property offers many ways to relax indoors or out. Elk wandered in and out of the property while we were there in a private and peaceful setting. Will be coming back!

Our 3rd year in a row staying here in June. It was perfect, as it always is! Elk walked through the property as they do every year. Beautiful creek running through. It’s the perfect little spot in the woods, calm and serene. The home is outfitted very nicely and so clean! Comfortable and lovely!

We really loved the house! The pictures were accurate but the house looked even better when seeing it in person. It was also very spacious. Everything we needed was provided. The kitchen is very well equipped and there are plenty of towels in the bathrooms. Having shampoo, conditioner, and body wash was much appreciated as well as a hair dryer. The beds were the most comfortable ever and there were plenty of extra blankets. It was very convenient to do laundry as our stay was part of a larger trip to the National Parks. We did have a question during our stay and Kim, the owner responded promptly. We would definitely stay here again if traveling to the area. Also the house is close to the town of Packwood and near the Steven’s Canyon entrance to Mt Rainier.

Great property in a great location about an hour from most park entrances. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Dont buy spices!! Beds were very comfy after a long day of exploring. Very clean and we enjoyed the quiet location. We would stay again. Loved the hammock on the porch and the double glider bench.

Great getaway spot

Spacious, property isnt close to anything else so its fairly quiet except for the road noise which is really not a lot. All appliances are modern and wonderful. Nothing was lacking. Surrounding scenery is super green and vibrant. Squirrels in the area, we saw 3 deer walk through the yard one evening, and even an elk. Stocked with all the pots, pans, and spices youd probably ever want. Very nice wrap around porch. 7 minutes from the town proper of Packwood. 30-40 minutes from Nisqually entrance to the park, and even less to the Stevens Canyon entrance.

Comfortable and Quiet Hideaway

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Hinkle Tinkle Hideaway offered by Owner, Kim G. We found the indoor property in good condition. Everything working properly with no issues. The outdoor property is pleasantly forested with trees, picnic tables, seating and a fire pit. Even a hammock to rock and relax in. The covered back porch nicely extends the living space to give an outdoors feeling in the comfort of protection from outdoor elements. I enjoyed having a fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed to cook and enjoy eating our own meals. The furnishings are tastefully designed and comfortable for sleeping, watching TV, etc. Lots of games available for a rainy day and outdoor games for good weather. Which we had both on our stay. If you need a place to land while visiting Mt. Rainier National Forest, this property is a good choice.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Grenfell

Host profile image
This property is very special to our family as we all enjoy the mountains and getting outdoors. My husband John and I both grew up in Hood River, OR and wanted our kids to experience the outdoors and small town experience. Packwood has delivered all this and more. We hope you too will visit this special place and all it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be in the mountains and love being located so close to Mt. Rainer and White Pass Ski Resort where both of our children, and many friends and family, have learned to ski.

What makes this property unique

The first time we drove into Packwood and looked up at Mt. Rainer we fell in love. We knew within the first 5 minutes of walking our property with Hinkle Tinkle creek running through it, the beautiful view of Goat Rocks, Johnson Peak and the short proximity to Cowlitz River, Mt. Rainer and White Pass Ski Resort that we had to have it.
