This house is the perfect home away from home and close to Mt. Ranier national park. The kitchen was fully stocked (I especially appreciated the food storage, including Pyrex and tin foil) Beds were comfortable, but a little on the soft side for us. Top-of-the-line washer and dryer that let us do a load of laundry while we sat in the sunroom, reading or simply enjoying the view. The property is beautiful and serene. Check in was a breeze. I highly suggest this home if you're looking for a place to relax and refresh.

The host couldn’t have been nicer. The issue wasn’t with her at all. I was just disappointed in the place itself. It was a little outdated and could use some fresh improvements, I thought it was going to be nicer than it was. Also, I thought it was priced extremely high for what we got, and the area that it was in. It was just 5 miles west of Packwood, but in a spotty neighborhood. Overall, it had a clean bed and bathroom, and that’s all we needed. So, thank you for that.

We absolutely loved the Hinkle Tinkle Hideaway and our return visit did not disappoint. The property is beautiful, so relaxing at the end of a travel day or a busy day hiking in the area. The photos don't do it justice. My favorite spot is the chair hammock at the end of a long day. The inside was immaculately clean upon our arrival and I do silly things like check the corners of the silverware drawer, etc. There is plenty of space to spread out and relax. The kitchen is well stocked and with quality cookware and dinnerware, not just somebody's leftover junk. Having the washer and dryer on site is amazing while on a long vacation. Both beds are very comfortable and having thick fluffy towels was appreciated. Kimberly was very responsive and pleasant to deal with. Packwood is a fun little community. Staying on that side of Mount Rainier National Park saves a lot of traffic and waiting at the entrance versus staying on the Ashford side of the park. The restaurants are good, coffee shops/huts were awesome and there are nice restaurants in town. I can't say enough good about this place. We plan to be back!

About the host

Hosted by Kim Grenfell

Host profile image
This property is very special to our family as we all enjoy the mountains and getting outdoors. My husband John and I both grew up in Hood River, OR and wanted our kids to experience the outdoors and small town experience. Packwood has delivered all this and more. We hope you too will visit this special place and all it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be in the mountains and love being located so close to Mt. Rainer and White Pass Ski Resort where both of our children, and many friends and family, have learned to ski.

What makes this property unique

The first time we drove into Packwood and looked up at Mt. Rainer we fell in love. We knew within the first 5 minutes of walking our property with Hinkle Tinkle creek running through it, the beautiful view of Goat Rocks, Johnson Peak and the short proximity to Cowlitz River, Mt. Rainer and White Pass Ski Resort that we had to have it.
