    Cozy cabin- we could not get the outdoor lights to come on though (should have been on a timer, but was not working) I am sure if I contacted the host, he would have been able to help me ASAP as he was very communicative, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Wish we had a little more time here to explore the area, but would love to come back again!

    This small cabin is clean, comfortable, and close to Packwood for easy access to the nearby river, the town, and local restaurants. don't miss Mountain Goat Coffee and Cruiser's, a pretty good pizza and burger restaurant.There are two comfy bedrooms, one has twin beds, and a modern bathroom, all comfortably air-conditioned. A hot tub on the front porch looks inviting but we didn't use it as it was too hot.And GREAT proximity to Rainier entrances and the area hiking is spectacular esp. in July when wildflowers are exploding. It was really nice to see an elk in the neighborhood on the last day. I highly recommend this place, and Will replied to every inquiry quickly with helpful info. Thanks, Will.

    Elk every morning/ bald eagles in the air / kids playing in the river all day. Hot tub at night (and mornings). At first glance, I thought it might be a bit quaint - I couldn’t have been more wrong. This place has just what you need and nothing you don’t. Family games, movies and fire pit were all top notch. We would and are planning on coming back.

I was starving and was thinking gonna have to start a chimney fire to get cabin nice and cozy before we start cooking.
