Disliked: Cleanliness
Property is very sketchy, house has ceilings held up by bricks, spiderwebs were abundant, especially under the beds, felt very dirty, hair in the bathtubs, church pews as seats, kitchen is barely useable, bathroom is microscopic and too small

Pros: Great location. We were able to skip the long line waiting in front of the entrance to Mt Rainier National Park. There is lots of space and beds. Each person of my family got their own bed. Host was very responsive.Cons: The house is old as shown in the pictures. It is not the cleanest but not gross at all.Would rent again. The location outweighs any cons.

Summit Trip. Place was great for our group. Location near park was perfect. It is a no frills place, but worked just fine for us.
