Amazing space hosted by a kind couple who shared their beautiful garden and river access. Memories were made, and we cannot wait to return! My son really thought "camping" is the best, but I loved having the amenities of home making the trip far more enjoyable. It was simple to find, perfectly located, clean and quiet. Also, the bed is comfy & were picky!
This was one of the coolest experiences we have had. Very clean, host is very responsive. You can walk down to a beautiful river. After a long day of hiking at Mt. rainier, we loved being able to get in the hot tub.
The location is perfect for visiting Rainier. The play ground, hot tub, river access and garden/ grounds are so fun a perfect added bonus for a family. The outdoor kitchen is amazing and I somehow missed that in the listing. We stayed in the tipi and were so impressed with the size and temps! Outside temp dropped to about 55 ish and there were plenty of cozy blankets for us and the kids to use. So fun! Would definitely stay again.

This was such a unique and cute place. The bed was super comfortable, and the hot tup was just what I needed after running a half marathon.
Just a quick two night stay during the week but very relaxing. Really enjoyed the outdoor kitchen. I usually go camping in isolated, primitive spots but this was a unique 'glamping' trip.
The tipi, hot tub, bathhouse and outdoor kitchen are just as listed and perfect for a getaway. Host was very responsive during the stay. Close to Packwood and Mt Rainier we loved all the little touches. Would definitely stay again.
Clean and well-organized! Very thoughtful setup that provided modern amenities for an outdoor experience. The river was beautiful and the hot tub was a great addition.
Our family of four stayed at the tipi for two nights, while we were in town to explore Mt. Rainier. We had a wonderful time and our hosts were helpful and very responsive. Thank you!
My boys really loved the setting and we would absolutely stay here again. The hosts were super helpful and gave us great recommendations to make the most of our time. We had everything we needed and even though the days were warm and the nights were cool we were always comfortable inside the Tatoosh Tipi! I
This property was such a fun experience! The teepee was clean and the bed comfortable. We especially loved the hot tub after our long days hiking. Rob and Danielle were wonderful and so accomodating with a last minute request. The outdoor kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.
This is my second stay in the tipi. It’s such a fun experience for myself and my daughter. Everything you need with a private and peaceful setting. Thank you! We shall see you again 😁
3 nights and 4 days in outdoor luxury. The Tipi was spacious. The bed was comfy. The bathroom and shower were clean. Hot tub was nice! Outdoor kitchen was a great added bonus. Easy check in. Early check out. We had a great time, thank you!
We stayed here during a quick Rainer trip. It was a last minute booking but such a fun one. It’s secluded but in an ideal location for access to MRNP. The Teepee is very nice inside, they put out additional cots and had heating and a fan inside if needed. The bathroom and shower were clean and perfect. There’s a fridge and some cooking items with a kitchens but we didn’t have time to use them. Best part was the hot tub just outside the teepee. Our kids loved the nature paths and experience of staying in nature. Would definitely come back but I would want to stay in the cabins they also have on property, they looked amazing!
Renting this place can be an unforgettable experience for those who are not afraid to try something out of the ordinary. they may be surprised at how thoughtful everything is and how nice it is to drink tea under the stars, or warm up in the jacuzzi on a cool evening.
We had a lovely stay at the Tipi. It is very spacious - even for our family of 2 adults/3 kids. My kids had so much fun and enjoyed the hot tub and we loved our walks to the river and simply taking in the river sights and sounds. The kitchen set up was great to prepare a simple breakfast (or any meal really). The shower was a bit chilly - but refreshing! We were thankful for the extra blankets as it can be chilly at night. Overall our stay was a total highlight of our Pacific Northwest vacation.
Great unique overnighter. Fun cooking in the outdoors. Thankfully it was great weather. The only thing I would change is the bungie cord on the entrance of the tee pee. I kept getting hung up in it.
We were seeking a unique and peaceful retreat from the city for my birthday and were not disappointed. We were thrilled that the tipi exceeded our expectations. Danielle and Rob were also extremely accommodating when we experienced a blown out tire on our way back from the lake. They followed up to make sure were were safe and allowed us extra time to figure out our next move. We cannot wait for our next trip to the property!

Hello Andrea,
Thanks for choosing to stay at Tatoosh Tipi. We look forward to your next trip and hopefully it won't end with a flat tire.
Blessings,
Danielle and Rob
We had a great time at this property! The tipi was such a unique lodging and even weathered a rain storm. Only half an hour or so from Mt Rainer National Park, this was a great home base for day hikes and exploring. Make sure to bring your own plates and eating utensils as those aren’t provided. We assumed the utensils mentioned in the amenities referred to forks, spoons, and knives. Oops! The owners were quick to deliver some first thing the next morning, so no big deal in the end. We look forward to stayIng here again sometime!

Hello Sarah,
Thank you for choosing to stay at our Tatoosh Tipi. Sorry for the misunderstanding on silverware. We will be keeping some in there for backup from now on.
Blessings,
Danielle and Rob
Beautiful property! Such an amazing retreat to a quieter, peaceful, slower pace of life. The teepee is very spacious and cozy. There is a small hearter and a fan available for use as the ambient temperature calls for. The bath house is amazing with one door/stall for the toilet and a completely separate door/stall for the shower. An instant water heater allows for hot water in both the restroom sink and the shower. The outdoor kitchen is a dream!! There is a mini-fridge and freezer, coffee pot, blackstone griddle with side burner, 3 drawer storage bin with a smattering of plates, bowls, cups, utensils, etc. An outdoor table has 4 chairs with comfortable pads on the seats. The hot tub is a wonderful touch and our kids loved it! It's a short walk to the river. We had fun wading around and exploring the banks. We didnt utilize the garden but it is such a sweet touch. We are used to tent camping with cots and roughing it so this was definitely an upgrade! We explored the Paradise area of Mount Rainier and it was beautiful. Memories for a lifetime for our little family!

So happy you and your family had a great time and made unforgettable family memories!! That's what life is all about.
My husband and I stayed at this property for the first two nights of our honeymoon and throughout our stay we kept stopping and saying "Wow, this really is such the perfect little place!" or "Wow did you see this little detail?!" The Tipi itself was beautiful, comfortable, and spacious but what really blew us away was the hot tub, kitchen, and beautiful access to the river. While the Tipi is on a property with other cabins, you feel totally isolated in your own little corner of the woods. The hot tub was a wonderful reprieve and it was so cool so sit and hear all the noises of the forest. The outdoor kitchen is something straight out of a glamping dream with all of the tools you could require and beautiful lighting for evening meals. Could not recommend enough. We plan to make this location a yearly ritual from here on out!
It was an amazing experience with my husband. The tipi is increíble, unique experiencia in the middle of nature, the access to the river is pretty easy. I'll recommend this place 100%. Thanks to the host, good communication
