About the host

Hosted by Patrick Buchignani

Raised as a "military brat", I was lucky to travel the world. No surprise my family decided to settle in Washington State. My trips to Mt. Rainier have always held a special place in my heart. My husband Patrick came for a visit in the mid 80's and fell in love with the mountain. Now we are lucky enough to have a cabin near the Paradise entrance. We recently also acquired the "Knotty Shack" and are happy to continue to rent it as a short-term rental.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this adorable cabin and were excited to continue it as a short-term rental. Paradise Estates is our home-away from home and we are excited to share this unique log cabin with people who will appreciate it and Mount Rainier.

What makes this property unique

*****Please note that power/internet can go out often due to the weather conditions in the mountains; however, the Knotty Shack has a built-in generator installed, so no more power outages! You can even enjoy the hot tub during a power outage****.
