Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
Fred, as a teacher, is a life time learner. His passion is reading and sports. Marilly has a passion for family, birds, and traveling, and has been to Hawaii, Nicaragua, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland.
To keep the international flavor in our home, we have hosted exchange students including: two German, two Japanese, two Koreans, and one Colombian.
Besides our two vacation rentals, we own 2 monthly rentals, 2 Subway stores (in Portland, OR), and Fred is also a license Realtor.
Why the Owner Chose Packwood
We love the mountains, and Packwood (only 18 miles from White Pass ski area) is very like Switzerland, only the mountains are smaller and farther apart. It is in the center of Gifford Pinchot Nat'l Forest, 7 miles from the southern entrance to Mt. Rainier Nat'l Park, and surround by Tatoosh, William O Douglass, and Goat Rocks Wilderness areas. There is a constant flow of wildlife including: elk, coyotes, raccoon, fox, black bear, bald eagles, beaver and more, and year round recreational activities.
The Unique Benefits of this Lodge
Outside, you can relax under a star studded sky with the smell of wood smoke wafting on the air from the fire pit is pretty heady stuff during the summer, and throwing snowballs from the hot tub in the midst of winter makes for a great memory or photo shoot. Indoors offers every comfort from home and even more with a far infrared sauna to soothe those tired muscles after a taxing day of rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, white water rafting, wind surfing, skiing/snowboarding, horseback riding, snowmobiling, swimming, and more. It is a birders dream too!

HI there, Just wanted to say a BIG THANKS for a wonderful weekend with our entire family!! The place was in tip-top condition and more than we were expecting. The place was perfect for us with sleeping, eating (love the BIG table), relaxing...the view and weather couldn't have been better!! We went on day hikes in the area, found our church services in Morton for Sunday (we are Mormon) and appreciated your generous hospitality to open such a lovely home for us to enjoy together. We loved the campfires at night and visiting around them. It was nice to have all 6 of our children gathered around the campfire and enjoy conversations and look into all their faces...truly a beautiful sight!! Anyway, I don't know if you get to hear from your renters, but we absolutely LOVED our time there and say THANKS for having us!!
