This rustic cabin surrounded by trees is located just one-half mile from Mount Rainier National Park, the Nisqually entrance in Ashford, Washington. Accessible year round with a hot tub under the trees, beautiful cedar slab railed deck with deck chairs for relaxing, picnic table, BBQ, custom cedar slab dart board, marshmallow roasting pit, horseshoe pits, and extra lawn chairs for enjoying the visiting deer and peaceful outdoors. This property backs up to 500+ acres of timbered National Forest that stretch up to a beautiful ridgeline that runs to Mt Wow.

Beautifully remodeled in 2006, this 1923 cabin still retains some of its rustic charm with age warbled glass pane windows, old stone fireplace with custom cedar slab mantle, and refinished hardwood floors. The gorgeous tiled bath includes a jetted tub and shower. This rustic cabin is heated with a wood stove insert with a gorgeous old stone fireplace and cedar slab mantle, plus in September 2021 we added a split pump so now have the choice of electric heat & air conditioning as well.

Comfortable sleeping for up to 8 persons in three bedrooms and the living room. Main floor master bedroom has a super comfortable queen, the living room has a sofa that folds down into a small bed. Upstairs the bear cub room has a super comfortable queen and a single bed with a memory foam topper for extra comfort.

If traveling in winter, Mt Rainier National Park requires all vehicles carry chains into the park. This mountain cabin sits at 2000' elevation in the Cascade Mountain range, so may or may not have snow accumulation at any time between November and April depending on storm systems. The highway is plowed often so access to the cabin driveway is kept clear. The driveway has an incline, is tree lined and protected from snow, but some years during really heavy snow systems, guests may prefer to park at the bottom of the driveway if not in a 4-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle.

In the mountains, power outages are common and can occur for a few minutes to a few hours at any time of year. We try to keep this cabin stocked with flashlights and candles. Additionally, we have added battery-operated lightbulbs in the Owl's roost lamp, Bear cub room lamp, and the light fixture above the bench in the mud room. They only work in single light bulb fixtures. They have about an 8-hour charge if the power goes out. Also, there are a few push button battery operated mini-lights throughout the cabin as well.

Due to a severe allergy, dogs are not allowed in our cabin.
