About this property

Magical Woodland Retreat just 8 miles from Mount Rainier national Park!

Welcome to Paradise Park House!

At Paradise Park House, the main floor offers a bedroom with a queen-size bed and a separate full bathroom with a bathtub/shower. Feeling adventurous? Climb the ladder to the loft, where two cozy single beds await. A fun retreat for kids or those wanting to relive summer camp days. Stay warm with the electric wall heater or gather around the wood-burning stove for that classic cabin feel.
Fully-equipped kitchen* and plenty of seating for everyone!
(*dishwasher not included- so retro chic ☺️)

**Due to our rural location, we are not able to offer discounts or refunds due to power and/or WiFi outages. Although outages are rare, they can happen and are usually brief. The wood-burning stove/fireplace will provide heat inside the cabin; a flashlight and lantern are available for light & we encourage guests to cook on the bbq grill provided on the deck**

We offer complimentary Wifi and a starter bundle of firewood to make your stay as stress-free as possible! And the kitchen is stocked with coffee, tea, cocoa, popcorn, olive oil, vegetable oil, salt and pepper, and individual packets of condiments, so you can worry about the big stuff - like did you bring your hiking boots!

This cabin is one of two that we host; both situated at the end of a small community of cabins (5 cabins including these two). The community is surrounded by 1,000+ acres of Elbe Hills State Forest for your exploration and total serenity. There is a State Road that you can walk (or four-wheel) about a mile long and it will take you all the way to a "beach" on the Nisqually River. The other direction takes you towards Ashford, but is a bit more overgrown and longer.

On the property, both cabins share the "meadow space" and tree-fort with the slide. Apart from that, each cabin faces a different direction and offer plenty of privacy even though they are within about 30 yards of each other. It's the best of both worlds whether you rent just one of the cabins and want some privacy, or if you want to rent out both cabins for a larger get together and have separate spaces.

Both cabins have waterfront about half of the year when the Sahara Creek runs (November to June). The rest of the year, the creek bed is dry and surrounded by greenery & wildflowers 🌿

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Sprecher

Host profile image
Our small family began The Happy Hotelier because we love staying at unique vacation properties for ourselves. Personally having been in property management for the past 10+ years, it just made sense for us to make the transition to becoming hosts ourselves.

Why they chose this property

We love this property which hosts two cabins, each sleeping 4, because it offers a chance to stay in one or both cabins. They are situated in a way that both cabins feel very private, but are close enough to enjoy the meadow, creek, and local activities together.

What makes this property unique

Having both cabins and the meadow there, we allow events on site. Our properties are two of five cabins in our small neighborhood which is surrounded by 1000+ acres of State Forest for your exploration. There is a great sense of seclusion and peace when you visit here. The trickling of the seasonal creek and the sound of the rain on the metal roof is comforting even when the weather is blustery.
