Staff at check in were excellent. Easy access to activities, busy but not unbearable, evening food and entertainment were very good. Bedroom was clean but the kitchen area was not (especially the floor). Heat would not turn off. Shower is VERY low indeed. Decent one day base camp.

Fun find - perfect for hikers. We enjoyed the food and live music next door but wished the band had played longer into the evening. Our cabin was small with two twins and a bathroom. Not much room to move around but served its purpose. Only complaint is that the walls are thin and you could hear people walking around and talking upstairs. Fortunately, most people were just as exhausted from hiking and crashed early.

We were only there for 1 night. The room was clean & big enough for 5 people. The benches at the balcony were dusty though so I had to clean it myself. I like where it’s located which is to the end of the building & on 2nd floor. Great location & short drive to Mt. Rainier.
