This wonderful cabin in Packwood was the perfect way to end our family trip to the Pacific Northwest. The location makes it easily accessible to both the Sunrise and Paradise sections of Mt Rainier National Park. It is close to town yet provides a quiet and peaceful setting with views out the back. We had elk visit the meadows each day which we enjoyed. Would highly recommend this property to others looking for a stay near the national park.

Lovely cabin in a small neighborhood. We enjoyed sitting outside on the large porch watching the elk in the mornings and evenings. It was our home base for visiting Mount Rainer NP. It’s near a town with groceries and restaurants. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils/pans. We found everything we needed. Central air conditioning was greatly appreciated.

Cabin was super cozy. Beds were great. Great location.It could have used a better cleaning prior to our stay. Dirt and old items under and behind couch. Not that much of an issue but noticeable. Pots and pans need updated. Bottoms of pans badly scraped and caused food to stick.

Rustic cabin

Loved the high ceilings, open floor plan for living areas. Enjoyed the view out back with fire-pit. Bathrooms and kitchen were nice and up to date. I was not able to get the TV streaming to work, but did use the DVD. However, I didn't ask the property manager for help with the streaming as it didn't really matter to us.

We really enjoyed the house. It was very clean and well accommodated. Just as an idea…nothing I would post publicly, but the BBQ was so dirty it’s unusable, which was a bit disappointing but certainly did not skew our opinion of the property or the overall stay. Also, backyard ambiance is lacking, but again…we really had a nice time and loved the house and location.

Mount Rainier Trip

We had a wonderful time exploring Mount Rainier National Park. The home was in a great location and had everything we needed. It was very clean and we enjoyed watching the elk one evening in the back of the house.

Very clean. Kitchen amenities were great for the cooking we did. Seeing the herd of elk was amazing. The area is beautiful. The deck with heat lamp was our favorite living space. Would definitely stay again!

Great House!

This was a perfect place for our family of 4 to stay during a quick skiing and snowboarding trip to White Pass. The house was in great shape and clean, easy to find, comfortable, and we loved waking up every morning toa herd of elk in the field behind the house.

Lovely Getaway

This cabin was a great base to explore Mt. Rainier, Packwood and the area. We were 3 adults and our two dogs. Cabin was very comfortable and great location with a lovely view outback of a field and mountain. We saw elk in the field one morning. The firepit was great fun in the evening - to make smores and watch the stars!
