Mountain Frog Cabin - A.C./Sleeps 2/Pool Access - 30 min. from Rainier/Skiing
A charming whimsical retreat in the High Valley community of Packwood, WA. - this retreat is close to Mount Rainier providing countless hiking opportunities; nearly out of the back door! Cowlitz River access is just across the road and a small walking distance away. There are many dvd movies to watch, CDs for listening & books to read. Build a campfire, look at the stars, read a book, or just enjoy the elk walking by. The house sleeps 2 (Queen bed), 1 on a sofa (if you wish but it is not a hide-a-bed). I love decorating so every room has special touches to make it homey and comfortable. If you are looking for sterile plain surroundings this is not the place for you. It has been decorated as my very own home and it is comfortable warm and inviting! I love Packwood and I love the mountains! Use of the seasonal community country club - pool swimming and golf are available upon request (time allowing for permission slips).

This property was an F - FABULOUS! Truly, heaven on earth. Not only was it a peaceful retreat, but had everything we needed. The owner was very communicative, the place was spotless and we relished all her delightful decorations. This adorable place surpassed our expectations. Don’t stay anywhere else.
Great little spot! Perfect for our little pack. We had friends staying at other rentals in the area but ours was perfect for us to ring in the new year together. My husband is a great chef & managed to create a 4 course dinner for 6 people. Nicely pointed kitchen, & just enough space to have cocktails & play some charades.
Only bummer is that there wasn't a fire pit but other than that, GREAT STAY & highly recommend!
Everything about this property was perfect. Tucked away in the woods, yet a 10min drive from the downtown packwood area, this property was a great location. Also a good proximity for hiking mt. Rainier at around 75mn drive from paradise or sunrise visitor centers. The place itself was incredibly comfortable, clean and well setup with a large (and well stocked!) kitchen and living room. Both the bed and couch were so comfortable. The patio was prime for watching the sunset as well.
All in all a very well thought out property by the owner that made staying there something special.
Despite the other houses around us, this was a quiet, sweet, little home with absolutely anything you might need tucked away. We really enjoyed it and only wished we had more time there.

Very quiet peaceful getaway just a few miles outside of packwood. Close to the river. Very walkable. Everything you could ask for is provided love the full kitchen.
The property was well decorated, felt like home. The owners had everything we needed including bathroom products and charging cables for our devices. I love the patio area. I was able to see a hummingbird my first evening there. We enjoyed our walk around the neighborhood the first evening, unique homes around the area and very peaceful. WeI well definitely rent again. Thank you for allowing us to stay on your beautiful property.
The place was very clean, in a beautiful, quiet location. We were extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. The house, the deck and the yard were all perfect hangout spots. The hummingbirds were not thrilled to see us but we very much enjoyed seeing them.
Loooove staying at Shannon’s! Incredibly comfortable bed and furniture, extremely practical and thought out, very playfully decorated , and creative, fun outdoor space to enjoy all the birds, butterflies, hummingbirds that spend time in the yard. So nice to have a quiet spot to return to and would go daily to the river access spot just a couple houses down.
For once the pictures under rated the property. We found this property to be much more spacious than we expected. Everything was clean and roomy and the kitchen was well stocked with essentials. The front patio was a wonderful place to enjoy devotions and coffee in the morning while being entertained by hummingbirds and a mama robin and her three babies. The yard was nice although the evening mosquitoes and our Mt. Rainier hiking fatigue kept us from using it very much. The short walk to the river front is a must see and the proximity to Mount Rainier was just what we wanted. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time, thanks for sharing your home with us. It was lovely to sit out on the deck, and look out at the mountain behind the house. The yard was nice and private. The house had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Thanks again. Now we know where to stay when planning another hiking trip in the Packwood area.
We loved it here. The location was perfect. The house and yard are just adorable and it’s well cared for a thought out. It was so relaxing to be there. I miss it already. I would absolutely book this place in the future.
