Great getaway-staging for Mount Rainier National Park

We chose this location because it was in a good location with a short drive to Mount Rainier National Park. We spent our days enjoying the park and nature. The house was very nice, well equipped and I couldn’t have been happier.

ski house

The house and bed were great for our group during our ski trip. However, many things were not working as well as we hoped: the hot tube, fireplace, and heat all need lots of work. It wasn't clearly stated that we needed to download an app to be able to unlock the rental.

Hiking getaway with friends

We choose this location mainly for hiking, locally and Mt Rainier. The property was clean and inviting; a great base station. Plenty of kitchen essentials and the family games are a nice touch. Packwood has a few food/dining options, breweries and a grocery store. Prices at the grocery store were as expected from a remote/local store, and the variety of food selection was good. The hot tub was great after hiking all day, but could use some maintenance. Overall a great stay.
