Classic PNW Experience Awaits You

If you've been dreaming of enjoying a classic PNW experience, this is the escape for you! Just three minutes from Mt Rainier National Park, and half an hour from the mountain itself, you'll have an actual rain forest and creek right in your backyard.

Traveling through the PNW, you'd probably expect some rainy days, but that's not a problem here. Just make some pancakes with a hot chocolate and play some fantastic board games inside this cozy old cabin. And with small historic cities, scenic roads, bizarre sculptures, incredible views, and even a restaurant inside a railroad car nearby, you get everything you need in just a couple of days.

Do you have little adventurers coming along? They won't be bored. A whole adventure awaits right outside the cabin, or you can take a short trip to the local zoo to see the animals and check out the incredible kid's zone.

It doesn't matter if you are a city person or an avid explorer, the mountain has a whole spectrum of adventures. Play in the snow, take a short-but-spectacular hike or challenge yourself with a ski tour or mountaineering trip.

Do you want to see local animals? You can meet some in the forest, but visiting a zoo is probably even better. An authentic family experience with well-organized paths, a fun kid zone, and the ability to learn more about local flora and fauna.
