Stay was amazing. The master bedroom bed was extremely comfortable. Overall fealing of the cabin felt very "home like" sitting on the couch by the fireplace was the perfect way to unwind after a day exploring Mt Rainier. The location in packwood was perfect. Would definitely stay here again

We loved this VRBO! It was the perfect location for visiting Mt Rainier, about 15 minutes from the south entrance. The fire outside and indoors was perfect for the chilly weather. Plus the hot tub with a view!!!! Nice being able to walk to the river too and the town resturants and bars were great. Would recommend and excited to stay again :)
