Additional Information

While the inside space and hot tub will make you feel right at home, the outside space is magical. Please plan to spend some time enjoying the sights and sounds of nature from the beautiful covered patio, build a fire in the pit with provided wood, and pause.

Our neighborhood is very quiet and nestled in the forest in the upper Timberline neighborhood. Elk are the most frequent visitors. From the house, there are quiet gravel roads that can be walked. The town of Packwood is very sweet with 300 year-round residents.

It is about 5 minutes west on Hwy 12 and has a quaint food market, liquor store, a few artisan shops, a coffee shop, a brewery, a tavern, and a restaurant or two. We always recommend doing big shopping before you arrive. White Pass is about 20 minutes east for your winter fun and the Ohanapecosh entrance to the Mount Rainier National Park is a 15-minute drive.

Guest access
You have access to the main house and outside space including hot tub, covered outdoor entertainment area, fire pit and landscaped portion of the property. There is a garage on the premises that is off limits. Periodically we may access the garage and promise to give you space and privacy. Feel free to visit with us if you'd like.

Other things to note
Enjoy!

The Mountain Goat

This was the perfect spot for a coffee to get us ready for our day's adventure. Locally brewed coffee and freshly baked goodies gave us the energy we needed to take on the day. Small town feel, but big flavours and tastes.

Packwood Brewery

Packwood Brewery was full of friendly faces, amazing locally brewed beers, and great snacks! Packwood Brewery has small details that would put a smile on just about everyone's face. It is family-friendly and offers games, a stunning fireplace, and a warm welcoming atmosphere.

Hike To Silver Falls

Hike along the Ohanapecosh River through lush green forests to the majestic Silver Falls. Enjoy the uniquely blue color of the water and surrounding flora and fauna on this short but beautiful hike.

Ski At White Pass Resort

Experience an epic day on the mountain skiing, snowboarding or tubing. This family-friendly local ski resort has something for everyone. Enjoy a day with friends with views of Mount Rainier all while skiing!

Film Photography At Mount Rainier

Take a snowy late spring hike around Paradise, Mount Rainier's south slope. Take photos of the picturesque Paradise Inn, surrounded by stunning views of the Cascade's Tatoosh range, and the summit of Mount Rainier.

Panorama Point

One of the best views you can get at Mount Rainier National Park is from Panorama point via the Skyline Loop Trail from Paradise. It will get you up close and personal with the mountain but also wide views of the surrounding landscape.

Unfortunately this time of year (it is still wintering here at higher elevations) it can be rather tricky and sometimes dangerous to make it all the way to the viewpoint depending on the weather and snowpack. I highly recommend visiting Mount Rainier National parks website and checking the trail conditions and weather before heading out. The weather can change pretty drastically day by day or even hour by hour so it's always a good thing to keep an eye on before you leave. It also doesn't hurt to check in with the rangers before you start your hike, they have a ton of valuable information about anything you would need to know. Even if you're unable to get up to Panorama Point they also have maps to other trails close by.

Here's a list of things I recommend bringing along with you for this trail if there is snow:

1. Snowshoes
2. Microspikes (in case the trail is packed enough and snowshoes are not needed these help a ton!)
3. Warm and waterproof boots and clothes
4. Water
