Penguin Cabin The Utmost Family Mt Rainier Getaway

Very clean, very peacefull, looks better than the pictures

Communication with owners was very good and the house seemed clean. The decor was an eclectic mix of art deco, mid-century and rec room. The kitchen and laundry appliances are newer. Of concern was the electricity - there seems to be a DYI effort to rewire the house and there were electrical cords and extension cords strung around the ceiling in several rooms. A little scary. The landscaping/hardscaping seemed to be in progress.

We were only there for one night so didn’t get to spend much time at the property. Mark was very responsive and let us drop our luggage earlier than check in time. Location was very close to the Paradise entrance. Spacious place with many entertainment options.

Spacious. Well equipped. Great location for Rainier Park.

The kitchen was over equipped with anything you needed. It was so nice and they even had coffee.

This place was fabulous! Spacious but cozy. Great place for a family!

The property was very clean, comfortable and inviting. The kitchen has all the utensils one needs and the rooms are well stocked with hosery and linen. We had a wonderful time especially with the pool table and karaoke. Also, the fact that this property is located very close to the nisqually entrance mt rainier makes it convenient for those planning to visit mt Ranieri national park. We higly recommend this place.

They were very welcoming!!! Amazing communication. Clean Place and very spacious and super close to Mt. Rainer

Super communicative and easy check in/out process!

Our booking was somehow overlooked and when we arrived an hour past check in time the unit had not been cleaned/prepared.When the host was contacted by the vrbo site he contacted us and apologized. He then found a cleaning crew to come in asap to clean while we were out. When we returned it felt clean and more comfortable.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The home is spacious, clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need, beds were comfortable. Communication from the host was timely and thorough. Thank you.

It was a god place to stay after hiking at Mount Rainier. Really liked the kitchen. There was a little problem with the heater that the owner offered to fix immediately. And there wasn’t enough hot water to use the bathtub successfully.

Great location and very clean. Somewhat dated but very clean. Could use some kitchen supply updates but we found everything we needed to make breakfast.

The house is a lot bigger than I expected. It's cozy and fun with a group. The location is unbeatable. It's quite and just 5 mins from Mt Rainier NP. Matt and crew were awesome and super helpful. They were responsive and jumped in quickly when needed.

Perfect location, if you're heading to the State Park. Literally down the street. No grocery stores, but there is a small general store, so make sure you bring your food and such. Bring coffee filters. LolThe decor is a miss mash of things, which we don't mind at all. Kitchen well stocked. Plenty of towels and blankets. Pots & Pans are well used. We only slept in the master but the bed was comfy. Place was very clean. Neighborhood is quiet and private Yard is fenced for fido. Lots of games and things to do for a family or group.Owners are responsive, helpful and very kind. GPS will take you to the next street over and it will get confusing! So when inputting the address, DO NOT INCLUDE CT. trust me on this. I would recommend to anyone who wants a comfortable, home environment. Super great location of you need a base for exploring Mt. Rainier State Park.

Very clean and comfortable home. Directions were confusing. Using Google maps, we didn't find home, finally opened Waze in my phone and went directly to home.

Good location to mt rainier, bedrooms small but bedsizes queens that are preferred, nice to have cupboards labeled so easiy to find, need 12 oz glasses, plenty of drinking water

It was good. The cabin was clean, the beds were comfortable. We have everything we need. We enjoyed karaoke one evening

A friend and I really enjoyed our stay before heading to Mount Rainier. The beds were super comfortable, and this would be a great place to stay for families planning to explore the park. The home was located right by the Nisqually entrance. Communication with the host was great, and overall wonderful experience.

This house was set up so perfectly! You could stay home for your entire trip and be completely comfortable and entertained! The hosts thought of absolutely everything from karaoke to board games. The hosts were friendly and communicative and a dream to work with. Highly recommend!

Upon arrival, the yard appears that there are plans for further home improvement projects as it is a bit cluttered. The inside also seemed to be a state of somewhat incomplete renovation.The furnishings inside the home are eclectic. There is a lot of gadgetry that is powered by a great deal of extension cords that are twisted around screws and taped to walls and ceilings. An attempt was made to take a hinged door and change it into a barn door, leaving the opening to the master bathroom and the contents and or people therein rather exposed. In the laundry room is a dog door that is large enough for an adult to crawl through that is always open. There is a lock on the laundry room door, but it is on the same side as the dog door. There is no way to secure the home. Bottom line - This home provided a place to stay that was very convenient to Mt. Rainier National Park. It offered 3 bedrooms, each with a full-sized bed. The home could comfortably hold 6 people. (There is a sliding couch bed, but it will not stay together and there was no clean bedding.) The appliances were very nice and in good working order. We were there two nights and even with the issues I mentioned earlier, we were comfortable enough. The price was reasonable, and checkout expectations were very easy.

Lots of smart devices (speakers, thermostat, TVs etc). Several windows were unlocked when we arrived, which we locked. There is a medium-large dog door in laundry room which does not lock/couldn’t be closed from what we could tell. Lots of space, comfortable and clean beds, fun games and very creative extension cord wiring and lighting (a bit scary). Very nice sound system and karaoke set up! We just couldn’t figure out how to change the language-instructions would have been helpful. No kitchen linens were available (hand towels, etc) and kitchen sponge was very used (ick). Other than that we were happy, comfortable and enjoyed the clean environment. Very good value for the amount of space and price for being so close to the park.

Several friends and a couple dogs got together to celebrate my birthday and 420. It was an amazing experience, the dogs LOVED the yard, and the house was set up nicely for both bedroom privacy and the communal space openess.

Very roomy and comfortable stay at this cabin/house. There were many bells and whistles include like a karaoke machine and water cooler! Fun led lights at ceiling level made night lights unnecessary. The only thing that threw us off was the Beware of Dog sign, we thought we pulled into someone’s house instead of a Vrbo!

As a family of seven the Penguin house had plenty of room for our family was in a great location for our visit to Mt Rainier! Mark, communicated with us through out the check in process making it super easy! Highly recommend!

We had a great time, very spacious. We had 9 people so it was a housefull! Very clean and good communication from our host. Would definitely go again!

When I review a property, I prioritize convenience, security and comfort. I highly recommend this property as a base for exploring the beautiful Mt. Rainier National Park. This cabin was perfect for us on our autumn trip. Mark has provided everything that a guest might need, including a well-stocked kitchen and pantry. Once we opened the door, we were set. This is especially important in such a rural area. Additionally, the layout of the cabin is great with bedrooms on opposite ends and living space between, including a game area which was fun. We had a great time, felt at home, and hope to return for future trips.

Had a good time. Voices strained from too much Karaoke :-)

Property was nice and comfortable. Owner very good with communication. Would definitely stay again!
