Very nice place. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Close to both Mt Rainier and the town of Ashford. We had 6 in our group and never felt crowded or cramped. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

The cabin was fantastic. It was better than the pictures described. Beds were very comfortable; everything was clean and tidy. Only drawback was we couldn't get the fireplace to come on, and the coffee maker could have been cleaned better. Lots of Peace and Quiet. Overall, the house met all our needs and then some! I will definitely stay again.
