We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at the Mama Bear Chalet. Cozy is definitely the right word for this cabin, but nothing felt too small or cramped. It was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 3 kids (1 baby). The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. As with other Packwood locations, it’s an easy drive to White Pass. Appreciated the host’s responsiveness in communication as well. A place that should be on everyone’s short list.

Visit to Mt Rainier
This lovely cabin was a great home base while visiting Mt Rainier and Mt St Helens. We did a lot of driving, so it was nice to come back and relax after dinner in Packwood or on the road. The house was clean when we arrived. We did have an issue with the refrigerator going out during our stay, but the hosts responded quickly to our questions about that. The loft also got quite warm during the day while we were away, but we figured out how to keep it cool using the fans and HVAC system. We were able to make breakfasts and lunch at the cabin, so we only ate out for dinner, which is a VRBO necessity for us! We would definitely recommend the cabin to others coming to the area.

Great cabin in Packwood
Charming cabin has everything you need and more! Great for families with plenty of kids books and games. The outdoor space was great with a fire pit and decks with tables and chairs for dining. Kitchen was great and well stocked with all necessary cooking items. There was an AC unit in the main living room which helped when the hot afternoon sun hit the front windows. Fans in the bedrooms kept everyone cool at night. Overall great stay and hope to be back again someday.

Cozy Cabin
A clean and cozy cabin that exceeded our expectations. A perfect place as a home base for us to explore Mt Rainier National Park. The hosts truly went above and beyond with all the extras available to use during our stay. The board games especially were a hit.
