Great little place

This house is definitely tiny, but a fun adventure. We loved the tranquility of the river and the proximity to Mt. Rainier. We enjoyed the gnome walk as well. Packwood was cute as well. We had snacks and ice cream at the brewery.

Words can’t express how amazing this getaway was! Absolutely everything you could need was provided, and the view was unmatched. My husband, two kids, and I stayed here for 3 nights and it was perfect. My husband is 6’5” so some areas were tight, but he spent most of his time outside enjoying the view anyways! We will recommend this place to anyone I know visiting the area!

We loved returning to the tiny house by the river after a long day of skiing. Everything was "just right" and we very much enjoyed our trip. We plan to return when the sun is out and we can dip our feet in the water!

This place is magical! Grab your wine and sit by the river for true peace. I will say, if you are over 6 feet, it is a little tight so watch your head.

Maximized the tiny space for ultimate comfort, and function. View cannot be beat. Convenient location to Mount Rainier and Packwood. Great host who even checked in with us during a pop-up thunderstorm to see our power went out and offered to bring us candles. Highly recommend.

Perfection!

You will not be disappointed! From the location to the beautiful decor our stay was perfect. After long hikes at Mt Rainier it was so cozy to come back to and enjoy the river view and sounds for the evening. Beds are very comfortable, water pressure is great, and the setup is just right to give everyone space. Best tiny home we’ve ever experienced!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Packwood and all that it has to offer many years ago. We decided to purchase property in 2015 and spent 3 years building a cabin of our own. We have so many wonderful family memories made in Packwood and thought it would be a wonderful spot for others to make memories as well. What better way to enjoy your time and experiencing the surroundings tiny house style. You get see what tiny house living is all about. You might be surprised!

What makes this property unique

Tiny house that doesn't feel tiny at all. All custom made and designed to make a perfect getaway.
