Pros: privacy, close to both town and White PassHot tub issue was addressed promptly and successfully. Living spaces were good size.Cons:We stayed in 2022 also, when there were no neighboring houses. This time, with no window coverings in the bedrooms, that meant bright lights shining in all night (on the one side).Towel bars and knobs were missing.As others have mentioned, we had 8 bath towels for 9 people. I may be high maintenance, but I like one for my long hair and one for my body.Kitchen knives in poor condition.

This property is breathtaking! We spent most of our time sitting out back, watching the river. The house was minutes away from Packwood and within an hour of both Paradise and Sunrise entrances. We will definitely be back!

The view is amazing
The views from the windows of the great room were amazing. We even saw Elk crossing the river. The kitchen is very well stocked and had everything we needed during our stay. The property owner was very responsive when > had questions. If you are staying here to explore Mt Rainier the location is perfect. It took us less than 10 min to get to the entance of the park.
If I return to the area I would definitely rent this property again!

This is a beautiful cabin and fit our 3 families very well. It's a great location for access to White Pass and Packwood is a cute town.
We had bad luck with the weather (14 degrees Fahrenheit) which caused problems with the locks and froze the hot water pipes. Weather like that doesn't happen often in the Northwest, but hopefully the cabin will be updated to prevent issues like that if it happens again.

Amazing House & Views!
Gorgeous, clean, spacious home for our group of 10, including 4 children ages 8mos thru 5yrs. We loved seeing the wildlife and the beautiful mountain view called Butter Peak from the deck. We brought fishing poles and had a blast teaching the kids how to cast! The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were all super comfortable. Short drive into Packwood for ice cream, shops & the brewery.
Marty responded immediately to any of our questions before & during our stay!
We made the best memories and would love to come back and stay again!

Family fun in the mountains
Our family of 7 stayed here for 5 days. It is a great location for exploring the various areas of Mt. Rainier NP. The cabin is beautiful, spacious and well-equipped. The view from the deck is unsurpassed! We enjoyed morning coffee and relaxing evenings listening to the sound of the river, birds and elk (elk put on quite a show one evening!) None of us wanted to leave.
Marty responded to any questions within minutes.
The only issue is somewhat spotty internet, which is to be expected in this location.
We also enjoyed visiting the nearby town of Packwood for groceries, delicious sandwiches, souvenirs and ice cream!

Wonderful Trip in a Cabin on the River
I stayed at this property with a group of friends and we had a fabulous stay. The cabin was very comfortable and accommodated all of our needs as a group. Marty was very responsive as a host and we even saw a herd of elk cross the river and enjoyed swimming and nature.
