About this property

Cowlitz River Home -- Book Now for your 2025 Vacation

This home is hard to describe with words! Conveniently located 2 miles east of Packwood, Washington and 2 ½ hours from either Portland or Seattle. From the house it is only a 20 minute drive to White Pass Ski Resort which has double in size this year with over 700 acres of skiing, 2 new lifts and a mid mountain lodge.

With Two Master Suites, a third bedroom with a queen bed, a Pull Our Sofa in the media room and two single futons in the loft area (for children only), this home can easily be shared by two families.

Being built right on the Cowlitz River and having an incredible view of Mt. Rainier are only two of this home’s amazing amenities. The hot tub is close to river for you to relax in after a long day of hiking or skiing. An outdoor fire pit is ready for roasting marshmallows. A media room is waiting for you with the latest electronic entertainment equipment. When it comes time to cook, you will find the fully equipped kitchen a wonderfully place to cook and entertain. Or if you wish, you can cook on the gas BBQ outside. A gas fireplace in the living room will make your evenings very enjoyable.

Book your stay now! Please call if you have any questions.

The house is a no smoking or vaping rental.

Great Family Home

2nd year in a row that we’ve spent Christmas with our adult children in this home. Perfect each time. Location is perfect, close to Whitepass for skiing, minutes to DT and the River view is spectacular. Lots of space and very clean.

Stunning property

We had an amazing stay in this river home. The property is beautiful and nicer than the pictures show. We enjoyed watching the eagles hunt all day and the views of the mountain were very memorable. It was a short trip up to White Pass to ski and areas for sledding. We had one minor issue and the property manager was very responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

White Pass Weekend Getaway

Part of me wants to tell everyone that this place was terrible & to stay away so we can selfishly keep this place a secret. Ha. But it was amazing! A secluded spot right along the Cowlitz that gives you all of the relaxing privacy you could ask for, while still being just minutes from Packwood, and 20 minutes from the White Pass Ski area. And that hot tub right along the river after skiing all day was awesome. We’ll be back soon!!

Great location!

Located just outside of the town of Packwood where you can get groceries, hang out at a brewery, and get hand dipped icecream — and just 15 minutes from the park entrance. House was clean and new, with plenty of areas to explore along the river. Would recommend to friends and family.

Very nicely furnished house along a mountain stream with beautiful view of Mt. Rainier. Quiet & secluded property that’s only a very short distance to Packwood. We had beautiful weather during our stay…..mostly sunny, warm & dry.

Awesome house!

The home is gorgeous and immaculate. The property is private with a lovely setting near the river. Everything was perfect, couldn't be better. We enjoyed the short drive up to silver falls trail, which doesn't require a reservation line other areas of mount Rainier. We stopped by the local brewery as well with live music and a fun crowd everyone in our group lives this home.
