Ideal family getaway

Date of Stay: 05/28/11 Review Submitted: 06/09/11

We spent three nights here over the May long weekend in 2011 and had the absolute best time. Our 7 year old and two year old were in heaven. We loved the home, surrounding nature and could have spent a few more days easily. Great local sightseeing around Mt. Rainier too. Highly recommend and will go back one day.

Great Family Get Away

We had an amazing time during our 3 night stay. Even though the weather didn't cooperate and we had lots of rain vs. the snow that we were hoping for, the warmth and amenities of the cabin made for a great setting. The cabin was perfect for our small family get together, clean and cozy. We were able to use the kitchen to cook some amazing meals and the hot tub was a real treat. We had a great hike along the river and also got to see a bald eagle up close as it caught a fish. The proximity to White Pass Ski Resort was what ultimately sold me on booking this trip...only 15 short minutes away.

From Cabin Guest Book: Thank you for sharing this wonderful cabin with us. It was everything it claimed to be and more. Iif you are sitting here waiting for the weather to break, be patient, it will be worth it. Although for our first few days we almost renamed the mountain "Mount Rain-Near", because rain was a daily occurence. Today is our 7th wedding anniversary and we can't think of a better place to have been on that special day.

What a wonderful week! After being cramped in a hotel room for a week in Seattle, it was so nice for the 5 of us to be able to spread out and enjoy your amazing home. The great weather allowed us to do many things -hiking, horseback riding, wildlife watching (love those elk), brunch atop Crystal Mountain and a trip to Windy Ridge at Mt. St. Helens. The kids loved playing in the river and ordering pizza from Cruisers. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us - we enjoyed every minute we were here!

From Cabin Guest Book: The Wi-Fi here is amazing! We were actually able to Google instructions to go places and stuff. I loved the house - we felt like Abe Lincoln in a log cabin! The hot tub was an enjoyable bonus as well. We would recommend this house to anybody!

From Cabin Guest Book: We enjoyed our stay at your lovely cabin home. The weather was great and we spent a day hiking Mt. Rainier taking in the spectacular views. We also went horesback riding at Indian Creek Ranch about 30 minutes from Packwood. We relaxed at the pool and on the deck and the boys had fun wading across the river behind the house. We had a fabulous time!

From Cabin Guest Book: Heaven on earth! A wonderful cabin with all the comforts of home. We enjoyed the spa and the river. The dogs loved the river too. Mount Rainier was a great trip. We saw more than a dozen elk (many right in town), a dozen deer, eagles, hawks, etc. This was a great getaway from our Seattle son and his wife and for us as well.

We went to celebrate Darryl's 60th birthday. We really enjoyed the cabin, grounds, and river. All the comforts of home- but in the woods by the river. The hammock was a great napping place. Thank you

Perfect cabin for recent ladies weekend. We enjoyed the listed amenities such as wine, wireless Internet, phone with free long distance, and cable TV. Other great features include quality built-in dressers, mirrors, and hair dryers in all bedroom closets; plentiful hooks on all doors; & thick non-skid treads on outside stairs. Best of all we liked the sturdy steps and grab bars for easy access in and out of the covered river-view hot tub. Our family has rented several cabins in Packwood over the years; this one is truly special.

The setting was wonderful and the cabin itself was great. Esverything was well taken care of and plenty of room for all of us. Our son and his girlfriend met us up there and they truly enjoyed themselves. 3 generations stayed here toghether and something for everyone to do. Relaxing was easy to do on the deck with such a wonderful view.

We recently got back from a 2-week vacation in Washington state. After spending the 1st week in a hotel in Seattle, it was so nice for the 5 of us to stretch out in this amazing home. Our children (ages 15, 12, & 10) really enjoyed playing in the nearby river. We all loved the comfortable furnishings, flat-screen TVs, & hot tub. Being only 5 minutes from the center of Packwood was very convenient. We were even close enough to be able to order out, which we did more than once (love that Cruisers pizza). We also enjoyed being within an hour's drive to all of the entrances to Mt. Rainier. We were able to do everything we had planned on doing in the park including lots of hiking, as well as horse-back riding & brunch on the top of Crystal Mountain. Also loved being able to call relatives & friends on the cabin phone. Of course, seeing elk in the center of town every evening was a true highlight. The only thing I would suggest is for the owners to provide information regarding garbage & recycling. Also, knowing what was expected before our departure would have been helpful (i.e.- should we strip the beds? throw in a load of towels, etc.) Other than that, we absloutely LOVED this home. And if I could have taken that chair & ottoman home with me, I would have!

Thank you for the use of your wonderful home. My parents, brother & I had a great time visting Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens. We loved the river outside and built a few waterfalls and pools one afternoon. We also loved the elk in town! Everything was great! Thanks again, Dawn, Steve, Sarah & Nick
