This was a perfect place to stay - clean, comfortable, cozy, close to town and super cute. Bed was comfy, kitchen well stocked, lots of firewood for the wood stove. Great communication with the host. Can’t say enough positive. Loved this little place!
We had Such a great time at the Elk Cabin! The charming cabin was in a prefect location and for our family. We felt warm and cozy with a real burning fire place! Thank you Will for opening up your cabin to us!
Great host. Perfect cabin. Had everything you need Nice view of the mountain from the hot tub Great fire pit and a good bbq. Was a working trip but still felt like a vacation
The cabin was the perfect spot to come back to after a day on the mountain. The wood stove was the best way to warm up and stay cozy! Super cute and clean place!
Didn’t use the fireplace. Hot tub was warm. We appreciated the kitchen supplies and the location. Nice and inviting place. Will was real communicative.
Stay was amazing. The master bedroom bed was extremely comfortable. Overall fealing of the cabin felt very "home like" sitting on the couch by the fireplace was the perfect way to unwind after a day exploring Mt Rainier. The location in packwood was perfect. Would definitely stay here again
We had such a wonderful stay! The cabin is just as beautiful in person as it is in the photos! We absolutely loved the fire pit! Will was a great host, gave clear instructions and information about our stay. We would absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone!
The place was nice. Located close to the National park and had working AC on really hot days. Would definitely book this place again

The cabin was cozy, clean, and well kept. A lot of thought, care, and detail put into the space. The host was very responsive, helpful, and considerate. Overall, we had a wonderful time! We will be back! Highly recommend!
We loved this VRBO! It was the perfect location for visiting Mt Rainier, about 15 minutes from the south entrance. The fire outside and indoors was perfect for the chilly weather. Plus the hot tub with a view!!!! Nice being able to walk to the river too and the town resturants and bars were great. Would recommend and excited to stay again :)
Had a great stay at Will’s cabin. Clean, cozy, loved the hot tub with the view of Mt Rainier and the room AC units. Town was great and close to the park. Only issue was the internet not working the days we were there.Would stay again!!
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had a great time. The cabin is clean and comfortable for two people. The views were beautiful from the hot tub! It was a great location to get into the town of Packwood and driving to hiking trails around Mt Rainier.
nice getaway for a night or two away from the city
Had a good time with a few friends here, enjoyed the hot tub and indoor fire place as well as having a full kitchen and beautiful views.
