Perfect place to stay for Rainier
This house is spacious, but with a very cozy feel. It was really nice to come back to after hiking in the rain. The kitchen is charming, well laid out, and well stocked. The king sized bed in the spacious 1st floor bedroom was comfy. We had everything we needed and felt very welcome.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The linens in the middle room smelled dusty, but the contact person gave us the laundry code to get other linens. The BBQ was quite rusty and we had great difficulty removing the side drawer to empty it. I took the time to clean the grates well and re oil them but this really needs to be replaced. It was a good size though. I would suggest to have a crock pot and a blender and a few more large cooking utensils. The house otherwise was WONDERFUL, plenty of room and if we had kids they would have loved the loft and the games. Great location. I would definitely visit again. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

This was a great spot for our family of four. The house was comfy and clean, stocked well for a vacation rental! Easy and close drive into Rainier National Park, too.

Very Cool House
We loved staying at this house. The "Tower" was so cool! The hot tub was nice and hot, there was even a charcoal grill. Wood burning fireplace made this a lovely winter escape, super close to the Park. Would definitely recommend!

Nice house close to Ranier entrance
Perfect house for a family, essentially three bedrooms plus a pullout couch . Nice deck for eating outside in the evening and hot tub to soak in after a day of hiking.

Wonderful Mt. Rainier getaway
Location to the park is amazing, and the house was cozy. Their are other properties on lot, and they are closer than expected, but you still have your privacy with fencing. The hot tub was great! I’d stay again.

Cutest house
This house was so charming. Stain glass windows, cute decor, cozy and comfortable. Hot tub was great. House is well stocked for guests. Would stay again. Only thing I would say is the stairs are super step. The tower is like a ship ladder. My teenage girl loves it but not suitable for all age groups. Overall this house was a great find and we really enjoyed our stay.
