NoraA Quiet Getaway Just Minutes from Mount Rainier
Adventure in Ashford, Mount Rainier, WA, US
The perfect spot for a quiet getaway, Mossy Meadows is a spacious A-frame-style cabin, just a 10-minute drive from the Nisqually Entrance of Mount Rainier National Park.
Mossy Meadows has a rustic appeal and is very comfortable and cozy. I’d recommend packing a lunch and heading to the National Park, spending the day hiking around Paradise, checking out Myrtle Falls, and making a quick stop at the Gift Shop near the Longmire Museum. On your way back, make a quick stop along the Nisqually River, only 2 minutes away from Mossy Meadows. Then end your day cooking a delicious dinner in the full kitchen in the cabin, and take a dip in the hot tub, or stargaze from the hammock.
Endless adventures await, any time of year at Mount Rainier. Take a snowshoe tour in the winter, check out the steadily flowing waterfalls in the spring and a plethora of hikes and site seeing in the summer. For easy access to Mount Rainier (and all U.S. National Parks), I'd recommend purchasing an America the Beautiful pass.
There are so many great details at Mossy Meadows, from the fun lawn games provided and campfire circle to the inspirational mugs in the kitchen! My favourite thing to do here was to put on my favourite Spotify “cabin in the woods” playlist, relax with a cup of coffee and observe the beauty outside all of the large A-frame windows....
