At only 1.2 miles from the entrance of Mount Rainier National Park, this cozy cabin is the perfect spot to land after a long day of exploring.

A tree lined drive way gives you privacy, where the only neighbors walking by are deer or a cat. Inside, you’re surrounded by wooden walls and adventurous decor. A loft gives you a bird’s eye view of the living room, and the bathroom has a spa-like feeling. The park is so close that you’ll want to drop your bags off, pack your camera, snacks, and go sightseeing.

In the park there are plenty of pull-out areas to park and explore around. Stretch your legs on the Trail of Two Ferns before getting your first glimpse of Mt. Rainier on the Kautz Creek Nature Trail boardwalk. A famously photographed waterfall, Christine Falls, is right up the road, along with Narada Falls. At Paradise, check out the Visitor Center, views of Mt. Rainier, and the Tatoosh Ridge. End your day with watching a sunset underneath the mountain and a picnic/food from Paradise Inn’s café. Then wake up the next morning with a cup of coffee on the deck.

Comet Falls Trail is one hike you don’t want to miss. Carter Falls is shorter, but offers multiple waterfalls. After your morning hike, make a pit stop at Longmire to check out the gift shop and museum. A handful of trails up at Paradise can be accessed all seasons too. Before heading back home, be sure to stop of Copper Creek Restaurant and have a slice of their famously delicious pie.

This cabin is so close to the park it will have you thinking about your next stay here!
