House was great! Only bummer, which wasn’t their fault, was that the entrance to the national park that is close to the house is closed indefinitely because of a bridge that closed down. That was why we chose to stay there…so that changed our plans.

Cute house but long drive to park

The house was good but I would be careful of the stairs and a lack of railing at the very top. Cute town and we enjoyed dinner at the Pick and Shovel restaurant.

Nice quiet stay

We had a nice stay in wilkeson it is a very small town but enjoyed walking around. The house met our basic needs. The stairs were a bit of a struggle for all of us. They are not pictured and were very steep. They were also very dirty my toddler didn’t miss pointing out the dead bugs. We did have a problem with the smoke alarms. After we cooked one morning they just kept going off which made it very frustrating to try to put a baby down for naps during this time. We finally had to deactivate them to stop them from going off. Other than that we liked the house it was fantastic to be able to do laundry. The location was great for the events we were attending in the surrounding area.

Superb

Wilkeson is a small and quiet town. The property itself was fantastic for what we needed. The owners were easy going and easy to work with us in our accommodations. I would rent from them again if I come to the area again.

It should have been advertised that there was no air conditioning, I would not have spent 500 dollars for two nights stay knowing it was going to be so dang hot. It was 100 degrees outside and so hot inside that my family could not even go upstairs to sleep. We had to make a bed on the floor downstairs under the only working fan in the living room to try and get cool. We had to sleep with frozen water bottles on our bodies just to stay cool and even that was not enough. It was the most miserable weekend I have had. I raced an Ironman Saturday in the 100 degree heat and to have to come back to a house that is as hot inside as it was outside was miserable and frustrating. We got no rest, no sleep, just sweating all weekend long.

This property was magical! It was quiet, clean and had everything we needed for our trip. Our grandkids were busy with all the games that were provided and the creek that ran in the back also provided entertainment and relief on those hot June days we stayed. It was close enough to town for necessity shopping, restaurants and, our favorite, Costco. The cute little soda shop across the street provided us with yummy coffee and treats and the "haunted" hotel/brothel made for a memorable time. Just be sure that you are physically able to go up/down steep stairs to get to the bedrooms. If given the opportunity to visit Washington again, we would definitly stay here. Mahalo nui loa, means thank you very much

Peaceful escape near forest missing key items

This is a good option to escape to a quiet peaceful and safe small town. Close to trails and lakes etc. This is and old property - it feels a bjt tilted but its "cozy". The stairs to the bedroom are really steep. There is a fire pit in the backyard perfect for making s'mores. They didn't provide shampoo and conditioner and there was no hair drier. The beds are doubles FYI. Kitchen has all appliances needed but the fridge water is not working so buy some water in town.

Prime location in the cutest town

We had such a great stay! We loved being so close to town and the mountains, and we had fun exploring local history. The house had plenty of space for us and a well-stocked kitchen. The beds were cozy, and the house was so charming. Our kids loved it and were already asking to come back again beofre we even left!

Mt. Rainier easy access to Carbon River/Mowich Lake Trails

A great place for our family to call home base while hiking in Mt. Rainier National Park. Enjoyed a glass of wine in the yard at the end of the day while talking about our day. The nearby restaurants/coffee shop made our short stay easy but the kitchen was great if we had chosen to cook.

Rustic Yet Close to Civilization

The house was set on a lot of land and very welcoming. The only drawback was my husband and I only got a few hours of sleep both night because the bedrooms were uncomfortably hot. It just need better airflow or AC.

Mount Rainier

The Miners Cabin was great and well equipped! Host answered questions quickly. The location was great. The small town had several unique eateries that were also a good experience. We would definitely stay again if coming back to Rainier!

Fabulous place!

This was a wonderful experience! The home was CLEAN, well stocked, and fully supplied with kitchen cooking items! The neighborhood was quiet, the scenery was beautiful, and the outdoor areas were well-kept and inviting. There were even a bunch of games for indoor and outdoor fun! The 3 beds were great, the bedding was clean, and the towels were soft! The only slight downsides were regarding the layout of the home. The bedrooms were all upstairs and the upstairs bathroom was in one bedroom without a way to access besides going through the bedroom. It was an extension of the bedroom with no privacy from the bedroom itself. Also, the stairs are a little steep to the bedrooms upstairs. Overall though, these were very minor to us. We had a group all aged mid-thirties. We would definitely stay here again!! Honestly, we wish all VRBO locations were as great as this one!
