Gateway to Rainier
Close proximity to Paradise in Rainier and all its trails. Fully, self contained cottage with loft. Everything you need for a pleasant stay plus lots of extra special touches such as ingredients for smores. Great stay and thank you Erica. 😊

Cozy and well stocked
This was one of the most well-appointed VRBOs we've visited, it's simple but very thoughtful with kitchen and bathroom amenities. The little things make a big difference!
