Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. Very spacious, clean and comfy beds. Well stocked kitchen/house. Tap water was refreshing/great for drinking - so nice not to have to but bottled. Enjoyed our beautiful evening walks along the river a black away and great location to Mt Rainier entrance. Enjoyed close by casual restaurants. Just make sure to stock up at grocery store as none close by (small convenient store is)

Thanks for helping in making great memories

The house was very well stocked and comes with a beautiful piece of property around us. It felt very cozy even though it had lots of room for our group of 4 to spread out. So close to Nisqually entrance into Mt Ranier Park which made it super convenient. Highly recommend this house for your stay while visiting Mt Rainier Park.

Great Weekend by the Mountain

We love Mt Rainier so much! And this cabin was a perfect home base for exploration. Nice indoor and outdoor space and close walk down to the river. My little niece left behind an iPad in a drawer in the cabin and Christy was very kind and helpful in getting it back to us. Thanks so much!

Mt Ranier Awesomeness!

I can’t say enough good things about this beautiful home! It is everything described and so much more! The host is super helpful and communicative. The home is gorgeous and has plenty of space, from the rooms to the large kitchen and dining room table! We used it as our “home base” since it is right by the entrance to Mt Ranier. The salt water hot tub was perfect after hiking in the snow and rain. This has become my new favorite national park and I would only want to stay at this amazing home!

Great Family Getaway

The descriptions are spot on. The house was actually more spacious than I thought. The amenities were perfect. The kitchen is well stocked and we had all the tools we needed. The beds were comfortable. The hot tub was exactly what we needed and no chlorine smell was a plus. Thank you for a very comfortable stay. Definitely one of the best stays I’ve had with a vacation rental.

We loved it!

My family stayed here for a spring break getaway, and my 4 small kids (ages 2-7), husband, sister and I all loved it. It was clean, spacious, excellent location, well-stocked, and comfortable. The restaurant-style wooden high chair and the tub of magnetics were nice surprises, and the gas potbelly stove kept the house toasty in the cool mornings (and we appreciated the gate around it for safety). The hot tub was very relaxing and we used it daily, and my kids loved all the space to run around outside. We all loved the short walk to the river to play, or just walking around the nice quiet neighborhood, and it was so convenient to have such a short drive into the park. It was also only a few minutes to Copper Creek where we were able to eat out one night. Would recommend anyone to stay here, and would stay again!

Holiday Fun

This cabin was just the right size for eleven of us. A lighted Christmas tree greeted us. The gas fireplace was cozy and there were back up batteries when the power went off for several hours Saturday afternoon. A box of flashlights were at the ready. We could have used a battery powered lantern if it had gone into the night. The huge table was perfect for dining and art projects.

We had the best time during our stay! The house is beautiful and PERFECTLY located literally a minute from the Nisqually entrance. It’s well equipped with everything you need- kitchen supplies, bedding, even sticks for s’mores by the bonfire. The host is super responsive and we loved the contactless check in /check out process. We had the best stay.

Great Location near Mt Ranier

We traveled with my in-laws and our 2 daughters (11yo and 9yo.) You can’t beat the location for this house. You are a 1 minute drive to Mt Rainer’s entrance! The house seemed older but was in good condition. It had everything we needed and the hot tub “cabin” is a great idea especially considering how much it rains in that part of the country. The small grocery stores are helpful but don’t plan on having the options you are used to. We tend to cook for ourselves at VRBOs, but there are some really amazing restaurants in the area. I would encourage you to do those for dinners! Our favorite was Wildberry which is a Nepalese restaurant owned by a Sherpa who holds the record for the fastest ascent of Mt Everest. He and his sons run the place and it was one of the best meals of our Washington trip! The only “heads up” on the house is that there is only 1 shower. The other bathroom has a massive tub so if you are into baths, you will be in heaven. We would stay here again when we come back to the area.
