Cozy private hot tub under the trees

Our favorite part of the stay was the private hot tub to soak our tired muscles after a long day of hiking. The cabin was clean and comfortable; great for a stay with a friend or romantic partner.

I have called the management Evolve to discuss this unbelievable situation at this property. They stated they would look into it and call me back…never received the call. I just returned from my trip and I feel obligated to contact VRBO and the BBB to report this place so that others are not caught by surprise. I have videos of the whole place. When we initially opened the door to the property I rented, it had not been cleaned from someone before us. Dirty towels piled up in the kitchen floor. Bedding all over the floor. It took me a few times to call the host and when she did, she moved me next door to a place above an old abandoned garage with junk piled high. So when we walked in to climb the steep steps, the smell of mold and mildew was so strong that we had to hold our nose. I was there to hike at Mount Rainier, so I just put up with it, but it’s my duty to report this disgusting mess. I know that this review will not be published, but I intend to contact VRBO and the Better Business Bureau.

Quiet and Cozy Cabin at Mount Rainier

We loved our stay at the Elk Hideaway for so many reasons! It was super easy to find and the instructions on how to get into the house made it simple after a long day of driving and getting there long after dark. The cabin is just a few miles outside of the Ashford Entrance to Mount Rainier so we didn't have to stress about getting up early to make it to the park before it got crowded and everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay was provided for us. The host has really thought of everything and it made our stay spectacular! A big thank you to the host for having some water bottles available and some tick spray as well! We would definitely stay here again and will be recommending this location to all our family and friends for their visits to the area.

We truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage in the woods. Furniture/bed comfy, kitchen had everything we needed. Bathroom very spacious! Hot tub at the end of the day after hiking the Skyline trail was heaven. Access to laundry was an extra perk much appreciated. We recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the awesome Mt Ranier

Everything you need!

I had an amazing stay at the Elk Hideaway! The property is well clean and quaint and the check-in process was a piece of cake. I was beyond grateful that there were so many items that the hosts have thoughtfully made available to their guests - from shampoo/conditioner, to bottled water, and coffee pods and creamers! To top it’s only a 5 minute drive from the Mount Rainier entrance which made my early morning hikes far more convenient. I know where I’ll be staying anytime I visit Mount Rainier!

Cozy Cabin near Mt. Rainier

A perfect little cabin with knotty pine interior, french doors, gas fireplace, and a hot tub. It is a lot of amenities without feeling cramped. Perfect for 2 people to cozy up before exploring nearby Mt Rainier. During winter bring good books, movies and favorite snacks. The kitchen has most equipment you need.

A cozy and comfortable getaway that's a short drive to Mount Rainier National Park. Close to nearby groceries and a couple of restaurants. Hot tub is nice, so is the bathroom. Very peaceful property, we'll consider staying here again if we're back up in the NW...

Anniversary Trip

This house is so cute and cozy and feels like a home away from home. This was the second time we have stayed at this property for our anniversary and plan to continue booking here for anniversaries to come. We very much enjoyed the hot tub and the jacuzzi tub, very relaxing. They do a very good job at the upkeep of the property and provide little extras that make the experience/vacation even better. Cant wait to come back next year!

We liked the quaint and comfortable atmosphere of the cottage. Very clean and had all the essential comforts along with WiFi. Although there were guests in two neighboring cottages on the property, we never heard them. Not much to dislike. The French doors to the bedroom needed adjustment, but that was a minor thing.
