To "Make yourself at home!" the inside has live-edge touches to accentuate that woodsy feel and only 0.3 mi to quaint downtown Packwood with first-class coffee roaster/two craft breweries/restaurants and food trucks, 10 mi to Mt Rainier National Park, 19 mi to White Pass Ski Area & 48 mi to the crater side of Mt Saint Helen's and Windy Ridge Viewpoint. Packwood is in the heart of Gifford Pinchot National Forest & magically visited by elk that stop traffic as visitors leave their cars for photos.

The place was everything we needed s as a base for exploring Mt Rainier NP. It was clean and the host was easy to work with. The hot tub and fire pit were awesome after a long day of hiking. Would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved this place!! It was so clean and comfortable! It had everything we needed and then some. It actually had a comfortable little couch, something we rarely find. Loved the hot tub and frequent sightings of deer and elk. We wish we had booked more nights. We will be back.

A great place to stay for exploring Rainier. It's small but perfect for a place to crash after a full day of exploring. The hot tub was nice and it's very quiet for a good nights rest. The bed could be a bit more comfortable, but that's a small complaint. I would stay again if I came back to the area.

Really great location for hiking the mountain. We saw an elk right off the patio! One item to note, the coffee maker is a kureg. So if you drink decaf you’ll need to bring your own pods. The hot tub worked great and the washer and dryer were a nice touch.

Allez-y: neuf et super propre

Le logement était exactement tel que décrit. Tout est neuf et les commodités sont nombreuses. Seuls points negatifs: -Pas de meuble pour ranger les vetements -Pas de garde manger Mais ce sont des details puisque le reste est extraordinaire.
