The hot tub was great and the house was well decorated. The bathroom is small as described but we were only there for a night so we didn’t mind much!

The cabin was clean, cute, and in a great location to the national park. The cabin is pet friendly but there are a lot of rules to follow which made it hard to relax. The host was flexible on somethings so that was a plus. The neighborhood was quiet and everyone was friendly.

Nice little property decently kept. The indoor space is nice but quite small. The bathroom and 2 bedrooms are very tight. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. For what we paid, I believe this left us a little underwhelmed in terms of the space, cleanliness and outdoor yard. The hot tub and amenities worked great!

Very much enjoyed staying with two kids. Quick response from the host, spotlessly clean and recently renovated cabin.

Weekend getaway

This was a good place to stay if you are looking for a weekend getaway. The cabin is close to town if you need to pick up groceries or want to dine at a local restaurant. There are lots of hiking trails nearby. Bald eagles, elk and many other wildlife roam the area and are very photogenic. I enjoyed my stay!

Another Mother and Son National Park Vacation

Cozy clean cute cabin in a perfect quiet setting, besides the sound of Elk who crossed through the neighborhood twice. So cool to hear and see them! Easy access to Mt. Rainier entrances, and close enough to Packwood for whatever you may need.

Great home base for skiing at White Pass

This worked well for a weekend getaway at White Pass. While the bedrooms and bathroom were small (as noted in the listing), the main living space and kitchen were well-sized. No issues.

We had a great stay. Very clean and comfortable.

It was a great stay. The property was clean and comfortable which are my main priorities. Beautiful location right out of Packwood. The host was very attentive. The only con would be the size of the bathroom. The host is upfront about that if you are paying attention.

We used this property for a family trip to Mount Rainier. It was clean and had everything we needed to cook all of our meals (super helpful). The host was responded quickly when I couldn’t get the guide book to download. We would definitely use this space again.

Cute clean small home. Bathroom is absolutely tiny but the owner is up front on their listing. Bedroom with queen is really small nowhere to put anything. There is nowhere to hang outside at all. It's a good place to crash after a long day of hiking.
