Tranquil & Private 2-Bdrm Cabin w/ Hot Tub

MossHenge Cabin, conveniently located less than 5 miles from Mt. Rainier`s scenic Nisqually entrance and one mile from Ashford, is the ultimate private forest retreat. Situated on nine lushly forested acres, MossHenge provides a perfectly tranquil setting for your Mt. Rainier adventures, family gatherings, or romantic getaways.

MossHenge offers comfortable, cozy, modern upscale cabin accommodations suitable for couples, families, and small groups alike. The airy loft bedroom features a queen sized bed and a twin bed (a pack-n-play and high chair are also available for your little one), as well as air conditioning for the summer months. The fully finished, newly-remodeled basement has another queen sized bed, along with built-in extra long twin bunkbeds with individual reading lights and charging ports. For extra coziness, especially during the winter months, the basement bedroom and bathroom also feature heated floors. MossHenge offers two bathrooms, both equipped with showers and supplied with full-sized luxe bath products. The first bath is on the main floor, off the kitchen, with the second larger bath in the basement.

MossHenge includes a fully equipped kitchen with every amenity you might need to make your stay as delicious as it is memorable. Amenities include a gas range, microwave, dishwasher, drawer-style refrigerator and freezer (with a backup refrigerator in the basement and another in the detached garage), blender, food processor, Instant Pot pressure cooker, automatic bread maker, electric and range-top griddles (great for morning pancakes!), electric tea kettle, a healthy supply of assorted spices, and a full complement of kitchen tools, utensils, and serving dishes. The gas grill on the front patio is perfect for summer (and winter!) cookouts.

In the Pacific Northwest, we love our coffee! MossHenge is a coffee-lover`s dream, featuring a coffee bar with everything you need for a perfect morning coffee on the spacious deck or next to the cozy wood stove. Enjoy a latte or americano with our high-end Breville espresso machine. If drip coffee is more to your taste, MossHenge offers a programmable drip coffee machine that can have your coffee ready for your early morning hiking, snow shoeing, or skiing adventures. French press more your style? Or perhaps a nice pour-over coffee? We`ve got you covered there too. Bring your favorite beans, and you can have your morning cup any way you like it.

The main floor features a large antique dining table, seating up to 8, whether for dinner or a night of family board games. And the comfortable and stylish living room includes a large sectional sofa and wood stove, perfect for cozy evenings indoors.

MossHenge`s outdoor spaces are truly magical. Enjoy the quiet sounds of the forest and nearby burbling stream on our spacious upper deck, featuring a dining table (seating 4), adirondack chairs, café lights, a gas fire table and outdoor heating for cool nights, and a deck umbrella for sunny (or rainy) days. The lower deck boasts a huge hot tub, perfect for relaxing weary muscles after a day of hiking, climbing, or exploring Mt. Rainier, or just relaxing with your sweetheart and watching the starry night sky in the perfect privacy MossHenge offers.

Finally, the large detached heated garage provides additional entertainment options with a full-sized ping pong table and ladder golf game, as well as a refrigerator for your beverages of choice. The garage is also the perfect place to organize your climbing, hiking, or skiing gear, and includes a large topographical map of Mt. Rainier so you can plan your hike or climb, or trace your climbing route after a successful summit attempt!

MossHenge has been our treasured family getaway for years, and is the site of many happy memories, fun times, and our base camp for Rainier adventures. We are very excited to share our beloved cabin with you, and hope that you enjoy the peace, tranquility, and privacy this truly unique place has to offer.

Other Features and Notes:
• Hassle-Free Departure: No cleaning required. You can leave the keys and go; we will handle the rest.
• Backup Power: Power outages, while not common, occur somewhat more frequently in the Ashford area due to the heavily-forested nature of the area. MossHenge has a backup generator connected to the cabin’s wiring to keep the essentials running (lights, refrigeration, hot water, e.g.) when needed.
• Internet & Entertainment: MossHenge has reliable and speedy WiFi (not as fast as you may be used to at home, but the fastest available in the area and sufficient for streaming and video calls). The basement features a large wall-mounted flat screen Smart TV, an Xbox (with several games) that doubles as a bluetooth DVD player, and even a combination DVD / VCR player if you have some old favorites you’d like to bring and watch.
• Cell Coverage: MossHenge has strong and reliable cell coverage for most providers, including Verizon.
• Security & Privacy: MossHenge has a security camera for your safety and the security of the cabin, but the camera faces the approach to the cabin in order to ensure your privacy in the cabin’s indoor and outdoor living areas.
• Early and Late Departures Available: We want to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible, and schedule-permitting we are happy to accommodate early arrival or late departure requests at no additional cost (confirmed 72 hours prior to arrival or departure, to ensure readiness for other guests).
• Welcome Basket: Enjoy a carefully curated selection of snacks, treats, and supplies during your stay; our thank-you gift for being our guest at MossHenge.
• Kid Friendly: MossHenge has a high chair and pack-n-play available for your little one, as well as a basket full of toys and games for your mini-mountaineer (upon request, these amenities will be available during your stay, so please advise if they will be needed). The deck is also equipped with a baby gate at the top of the stairs leading down to the hot tub deck.
