About this property

LOVELY RIVER HOUSE - Packwood, Washington

Enjoy this northwest paradise on the Cowlitz River. The Lovely River House is only 16 miles from White Pass Ski Resort and even less to Mt. Rainier's Paradise Entrance.

Enjoy unobstructed views of the national forest on the Cowlitz River. Step off the deck to the river's edge or relax on the huge deck with a cup of coffee in the morning and your favorite cocktail in the evening after a day of skiing, hiking or fishing. The possibilities are endless.
The space
The LOVELY RIVER HOUSE is designed for relaxation and fun with family and friends. Enjoy views from every room of this well-appointed home. We are located near White Pass, Mt. Rainier and Packwood should you choose to leave or, stay home as you are already on the water.

*Kitchen*
Gas range, granite counter tops and ample seating are located centrally in the home. Enjoy preparing meals and time together in this well equipped kitchen. Custom back-lit stained glass cabinets add ambiance to lovely dinners and cocktail hour.

Custom Table can seat 6 or step through the sliding doors to the outdoor seating, turn on the propane heater if it is cold and enjoy the stunning view of the river. Turn on the outdoor speakers and listen to your favorite music while enjoying nature and time with your loved ones. The barbecue is plumbed for gas - all that is needed is your grilling skills.

*Patio/Deck*
The outdoor deck wraps from the front all the way around to the back of the house. The deck is BIG. It is a great place to relax with friends or enjoy a solitary moment on the original "Pigtail" lift chair from White Pass. We've watched elk come and water in the evenings and it's a treat to turn on the deck lights at night and watch the bats feed on the bugs.

*Living Area*
The sunken living area has floor to ceiling windows with a custom couch and two reclining leather chairs. Enjoy the gas fireplace while watching your favorite movie or game; although, the view will distract you! The living room's wet bar has a custom stained glass cabinet with a beer-drinking, skiing snow-man adding to the seasonal charm during winter!

Beautiful Setting and Great Proximity to Skiing/Hiking
The house is in a great location for skiing and hiking....a short drive into town for food/groceries/etc. The house sits right on the bank of the river and the view is beautiful. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. I would recommend this property.

Wonderful, peaceful home on the river
We were visiting our family in Packwood, we came from California and Colorado. This was the perfect location for us to stay with my siblings and have room on the deck for my cousins to visit and hang out. The home is well appointed, clean, and had everything we needed to cook breakfast (that is all we wanted to cook!). The way the home is situated with the back deck facing the river, you hardly know there are neighbors. It was peaceful to sit on the deck in the morning and evening and look across the river at nature, no homes. I hope I have the opportunity to stay again sometime!
