Cozy private hot tub under the trees

Our favorite part of the stay was the private hot tub to soak our tired muscles after a long day of hiking. The cabin was clean and comfortable; great for a stay with a friend or romantic partner.

Wonderful clean cabin close to Ashford and Rainier!

Great experience staying for the week. Cabin has all the amenities you need - stocked kitchen, well appointed living and sleeping space, large bathroom, and the spa was awesome after a day in the park! Washer and dryer in separate common building. Recommend going to the grocery store before arriving to Ashford as stock is limited and expensive. Highly recommend!

Elk Hideaway

We truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage in the woods. Furniture/bed comfy, kitchen had everything we needed. Bathroom very spacious! Hot tub at the end of the day after hiking the Skyline trail was heaven. Access to laundry was an extra perk much appreciated. We recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the awesome Mt Ranier

Perfect spot for family getaway

A cozy and comfortable getaway that's a short drive to Mount Rainier National Park. Close to nearby groceries and a couple of restaurants. Hot tub is nice, so is the bathroom. Very peaceful property, we'll consider staying here again if we're back up in the NW...

Relaxing Sanctuary

Truly a lovely experience from beginning to end of our stay. Easy entry- super clean and spacious- had all that we needed and was even better than the photos! Helpful Elk Hideaway binder with info about local restaurants and trails was appreciated. The hot tub was clean and very private.Would highly recommend if visiting Mt. Rainier -just a few miles to Nisqually entrance.

Everything you need!

I had an amazing stay at the Elk Hideaway! The property is well clean and quaint and the check-in process was a piece of cake. I was beyond grateful that there were so many items that the hosts have thoughtfully made available to their guests - from shampoo/conditioner, to bottled water, and coffee pods and creamers! To top it’s only a 5 minute drive from the Mount Rainier entrance which made my early morning hikes far more convenient. I know where I’ll be staying anytime I visit Mount Rainier!
