Great property, very clean, and communicative host. The living room, dining room, and kitchen were all so nice to spend time in. I also appreciated the host giving us tips about activities, signups, etc. We hadn’t realized one of the bedrooms was more of an open loft but it might well have been in the description and it worked totally fine for us especially because it had its own bathroom. We would definitely stay again!

Our family stay at the Elk Mountain Chalet was wonderful. Everything at the property was as described; the kitchen was perfectly outfitted, the upstairs loft was great for the children and Karen (Host) could not have been easier to work with. There is also a nice park close by. Crystal Mountain is wonderful ski area. We will return!

Cozy, Peaceful Getaway – Perfect for a Mt. Rainier Visit!

We had an incredible stay at this charming cabin near Enumclaw while visiting Mount Rainier. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful and secluded atmosphere, yet close enough to town for easy access to restaurants and supplies. The cabin itself was well-appointed with all the comforts of home, including a cozy fireplace and a hot tub, which was ideal for unwinding after a long day of hiking. The large windows offered breathtaking views of the surrounding forest, making it feel like we were truly immersed in nature. We especially loved sitting out on the deck with our morning coffee, taking in the crisp mountain air and while enjoying nature. The property was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you’re looking for a relaxing retreat with easy access to Mount Rainier, I highly recommend this spot. It exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to come back!

Amazing property, perfect for a group

This is an excellently-equipped property. Well-managed and the amenities were exactly as described. Plenty of space for a group of people and the backyard is perfect for relaxing: fire table and hot tub; what more could you ask for? We would definitely recommend this spot for anyone wishing to spend a few days in Greenwater.

Great, cozy cabin

My family really enjoyed our stay at Karen's cabin. It was enough space for all 8 of us, every bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to make family meals together! The location was a cherry on top with great walks along the river, a short drive to some great waterfalls, and close to Crystal ski resort. Karen was a great host, checking in on us, and offering some great local hike recommendations. We hope to return in the future.

Perfect Ski Getaway -easy distance to Crystal

We stayed for 3 days, and it was perfect for us. Fit our family of 5 easily (3 kids, 21, 19, and 15; could have brought friends). Family loved the floor plan. Place was well stocked and just as listed. We hot tubbed after skiing each night, and sat by the fire before and after dinner. The fireplace really does heat up the house nicely. It was an easy drive back and forth to the mountain. The one complaint the kids had was the network (wifi) wasnt good (gaming or social media). We were able to stream two movies on the TVs (one upstairs and one downstairs) so was really good enough. Again this was told ahead of time (spotty mountain internet). Overall perfect and we'll definitely stay here again.

Exploring Mt. Rainier with out-of-town family was perfect with the chalet as our home base. Coming back to a place with warm showers, a great kitchen and grill, comfy beds, a steaming hot tub, big screen TV to watch the Women’s World Cup, and NO MOSQUITOES made our time at Mt. Rainier the highlight of my family’s trip.

Perfect Crystal Getaway

My group of 6 stayed here for a week while we snowboarded at Crystal Mountain and couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. Location is about as ideal as you can get in relation to the proximity to crystal mountain. The house itself was gorgeous in the winter time with it's seclusion in the woods. Add in the hot tub, fire place and modern amenities of the cabin, you'll be hard pressed not to enjoy your stay. Karen has a beautiful home and is also an excellent host. She was in contact with me all throughout the lead up and trip itself. Nothing came up but had it she was a quick phone call away.

Spacious, beautiful, and well stocked

Great place to stay for our Crystal ski trip. It was a 20 minute drive to the hill (which has free EV charging - see Crystal website for details). The chalet was huge for 8 people and Karen has it stocked with plenty of disposable products like paper towels, garbage bags, soaps, etc. The kitchen has good pots and pans, knives, etc, not the cheap stuff you often find. I brought my own frying pan (they are never big enough) so I never saw that but the rest of the cookware and dishes were awesome for 8 people. Also - easy to get to with flat roads and ample parking.

Family ski and board trip

Traveling in from local PNW, Texas, and North Carolina, a blended family of 9, we arrived and had the best time! Karen, our host, was amazing with detailed instructions on how everything worked and a lovely home to meet all of our needs. The location to Crystal mountain resort was a hop skip away (just 20 minutes). Even getting to the local Safeway was a mere 25-ish minutes away. The neighborhood was quiet and every morning we met the local Elk wandering through the front yard. Truly a magical place! We could not have asked for a better set up.

Perfect quiet getaway

We didn't research the location of this property as well as we should have, but we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was. Approximately 20 minutes from Boone and 30 minutes from Beech Mountain, this property was perfect for a quiet vacation with our kids. John allowed us the opportunity to do some sledding on the property behind the house and enjoy some free range exploring. It was magnificent to take the kids out in the snow and enjoy nature. The sledding was EPIC! If you visit in the winter, don't forget your sled. The house was extremely clean and spacious. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. It is beneficial to have 4 wheel drive for the driveway. Suggestion: be sure to have the wifi password ready upon arrival. We had to go back down the driveway and to the main road so I could have enough signal to check email to get the door code and wifi password. They were serious when they mentioned minimal/no reception. Once connected to wifi we had no issues with connection, though.

The perfect hot tub after a long hike!

We had a blast staying at this beautiful home. Karen was an absolute pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure my friends and family had all the information we needed prior to starting our trip. Enumclaw being a small mountain has very limited service and shops so Karen's instructions saved us a ton of time and headaches. The home was clean and and the beds were comfortable. The best part was the hot tub we all got to soak in after our long day of hike and the numerous massaging jets in it. Will definitely stay here again when visiting Mount Rainer.

Karen's house has pretty much everything on our wishlist for a vacation home - The house is spacious enough for four adults and three teens. It's beautifully decorated and very well maintained. The jacuzzi, the big TV, and the various board games guarantee the quality time with family and friends. There are also generous supplies at the kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms for our convenience. We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Karen's house and highly recommend it for families visiting Mt.
