About this property

Welcome to Greenwater and the Crystal Mountain Chalet. Located about 20 miles into the forest east of Enumclaw, the Greenwater area is in the middle of Norse Peak, Clearwater, Mount Rainier, William O Douglas, Tatoosh and the Glacier View Wilderness areas.

The Crystal Mountain Chalet is a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom chalet style cabin. Tall firs frame the cabin and vaulted ceiling windows fill it with light. Nestled within Crystal River Ranch in Greenwater, the Crystal Mountain Chalet is set up with a large and open living area, bar style seating in the kitchen, as well as ample sleeping for 9.

The CRR community is located about 18 miles from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort. Perfect location for weekend ski/snowboarding getaways in the winter, or easy access to hiking/horsebacking riding/mountain biking and gondola rides in the summer. Also located about 30 miles from Sunrise, a popular destination in Mount Rainier National Park.

CRR is located on an elk refuge so it is common to see a local herd of elk wander the community... along the roads, in yards, or perhaps most frequently on the lawn of the community center. There are only a handful of stores in the Greenwater area, including one dining/tavern option that is located about 3 miles from the cabin. Enumclaw is a scenic 20 miles away where you can find large grocery stores and several restaurants and shops.

The cabin is furnished with linens, towels, blankets and a well stocked kitchen.

Mountain adventures begin here! Hike, bike, ski, repeat! At the end of the day warm up in the great room next to the propane fireplace or relax in your own private hot tub.

Great winter getaway

We had a wonderful stay here! It very easily and comfortably fit 6 adults. The open kitchen and living room area (with a lovely warm fireplace) were perfect for relaxing after a long day of skiing- not to mention the hot tub! Hosts were very gracious, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. Would come back and stay here any day!

Cozy Chalet

My group and I had a great stay at the Crystal Mountain Chalet. We were provided with clear instructions on how to arrive, which made it simple to navigate while in and out of cellular service. When we pulled up to the chalet, we were greeted by large Elk and tall trees. The accommodation was clean and cozy. The place had all the seats, kitchenware, and appliances we needed for our stay; including a BBQ with plenty of propane. Everything from check in til check out was easygoing. We made the most of our trip by heading up with Crystal Mountain for 3 days, which was 25 min away. Thanks for a great vacation!

Crystal ski gaetaway

The cabin was very comfortable and clean and a short drive to Crystal mountain and Mt Rainier National park with the option of many great hikes near by. This was a great home base for a few days with sisters and mother in law visiting. We’ll definitely go back.

Great home base for skiing Crystal

Our two families stayed here as a base camp for skiing and snowshoeing at Crystal Mountain. The house was perfect for that. The kitchen was well appointed (and stocked with staples) and the den was cozy with a gas stove. The hot tub was perfect for an apres ski soak!Be aware that there are four queen beds and one twin bed (that is over a queen bed) so bed sharing needs to happen if you have a full house. And the four folks in the loft will hear everything in the living room (unless they use good earplugs). We would absolutely stay here again.

Girls Getaway

My 7 girlfriends from out of state flew in to spend the weekend at Crystal Mountain Chalet. We had a great time! Perfect space and layout for a group our size. We loved the open floorplan . Easy check in and out instructions. Hot tub was awesome and we would have used the fire pit if we had more time. Beds are comfortable and loved the water pressure! Overall it was a great stay.

Great Location, Community and Ammenities

My family of 6 had an amazing trip at Mt Rainer and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was conveniently located to the entrance of Mt Rainer and the community offered privacy, trails, access to the river and opportunities to see wildlife. The hosts were amazing as they were quick to respond to questions and arrange an early check-in so that we could grab groceries on the way. Our kids favorite aspect was the large hottub. It was a great cabin for our family!

About the host

Hosted by Michaela and Mark

We are Seattle transplants from Texas and Nebraska. The Navy brought Mark to the Northwest and travel nursing brought Michaela. We fell in love with the mountains and the sailing out here. We also really appreciate the lack of humidity that we experienced in our home states. Mark spent some time on the east coast attending Carnegie Melon University and Michaela is a proud University of Iowa alum!

Why they chose this property

We both come from small towns in the country and grew up with free rein to explore. While we love living in Seattle and are hooked on Washington State, we wanted the opportunity to get our kids out into the mountains and forests that we have grown to love so much. This home gives us the chance to get them out hiking and exploring!

We chose this particular area because of its proximity to Crystal Mountain. It's our favorite mountain in the Seattle area, with lots of challenging terrain and a split upper and lower mountain, allowing expert skiers to get up in the tough stuff and newer riders to enjoy the greens and blues that help them improve. It's a great hill, with some of the most amazing views in the world.

What makes this property unique

Greenwater is a short drive from Seattle. While Seattle rarely receives snow, Greenwater is a nice escape to get your "snow fix". Summers are warmer than Seattle and it rains less frequent. You can drive a short distance to multiple trailheads, or you can just step out the front door and use one of walking trails running throughout the CRR community, one along the White river. Not only is this a great home base for groups wanting a cozy getaway, but it is perfect for families. Kids will love the bunk beds and there is also a mini crib for the really little ones.
