This is such a beautiful place to stay. We travelled to Washington so that I could hike in Mt. Rainier National Park, and this house is conveniently located just minutes away from it. The home is clean, spacious, comfortable, and well appointed. The owners are very responsive and helpful. And the five acres of property in which it is located are beautiful and peaceful. I would love to stay here again. I almost enjoyed the home and acreage as much as the hiking!

Great property in a great location about an hour from most park entrances. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Dont buy spices!! Beds were very comfy after a long day of exploring. Very clean and we enjoyed the quiet location. We would stay again. Loved the hammock on the porch and the double glider bench.

Great getaway spot
Spacious, property isnt close to anything else so its fairly quiet except for the road noise which is really not a lot. All appliances are modern and wonderful. Nothing was lacking. Surrounding scenery is super green and vibrant. Squirrels in the area, we saw 3 deer walk through the yard one evening, and even an elk. Stocked with all the pots, pans, and spices youd probably ever want. Very nice wrap around porch. 7 minutes from the town proper of Packwood. 30-40 minutes from Nisqually entrance to the park, and even less to the Stevens Canyon entrance.

Husband and I have stayed here every year for about 6 years for our anniversary. It has been 10 out of 10 every time! This is a great property with all you need for your mountain home away from home. Lovely scenery around the home and property, complete with a little creek! Excellent jump off point for many wonderful hiking trails as well!

Comfortable and Quiet Hideaway
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Hinkle Tinkle Hideaway offered by Owner, Kim G. We found the indoor property in good condition. Everything working properly with no issues. The outdoor property is pleasantly forested with trees, picnic tables, seating and a fire pit. Even a hammock to rock and relax in. The covered back porch nicely extends the living space to give an outdoors feeling in the comfort of protection from outdoor elements. I enjoyed having a fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed to cook and enjoy eating our own meals. The furnishings are tastefully designed and comfortable for sleeping, watching TV, etc. Lots of games available for a rainy day and outdoor games for good weather. Which we had both on our stay. If you need a place to land while visiting Mt. Rainier National Forest, this property is a good choice.

It is a nice property. Quiet and very cozy. It was not until out last night that we noticed the fairy lights in the trees! So cool! The beds were comfortable and there was enough room in the house to stretch out and be comfortable. My daughter really enjoyed the swings.

We had the best time staying at Kim‘s property! It was the perfect homebase for our week at Mount Rainier National Park. This is our third visit to Packwood and by far our favorite of all the places we stayed. The living quarters were much bigger than we expected. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could have wanted. It was great having the washer and dryer available after long days on dusty trails. The beds were super comfortable and the porch was awesome. I just can’t say enough good things about our stay here. We are already planning our return!
