Great space and close to crystal

The location was perfect in a small neighborhood with an easy drive to crystal. 3 good bedrooms and there were two lofts where more people could have slept. Would have been nice to know the washer wasn’t working and also the wifi does not work. Would stay there again if those were fixed.

Cozy place

Ied recommend keeping it under 8 and if you do youll stay comfy and satisfied. Your under 40 mins away from everything youed care about and theres a nearby general store that has anything on short notice.The one thing i would love is some kind of covering for the front porch. We had a solution but being Washington' it rained the whole time so if we didnt have a cover our selfs we would have been limited with our outside access. Over all its perfect for the size location and price

Close to Crystal Mountain!

Winter vacation/multiple ski days at Crystal, we wanted a place close by, pet friendly, and a kitchen so we can cook meals.Pros: 30 min. away from Crystal Mountain; ample space for family of 3 and a dog; kitchen and bathroom supplies were ample; for a pet-friendly place, the house didn't smell; quiet neighborhood; host was responsive.There were a lot of dog poop on the yard in between cabin and house next door & on driveway. We picked up after our dog but kept seeing other poop. Had to constantly watch where we walk.The house had everything we can think of during a cabin vacation except emergency supplies. Our first full day, there was a power outage (not sure what time power went out). Fortunately, we were at Crystal most of the day. We came back to the cabin and heard generators from the other houses. Unfortunately, the cabin didn't have a generator but at least we had heat from the gas stove fireplace in the living room. The one flashlight we found didn't work. Called the host and was told there were no candles nor any other light source. Ended up splurging on a couple of lanterns and butane stove from nearby convenient stores. Got to shower up that night but was worried because the house had electric water heater and we weren't sure how long the power outage was going to last. Glad to discover the power was on the next morning and it remained on the rest of our stay. Also, the host refunded us for half of the cost of the emergency supplies we bought.

Family vacation to the west coast

The house was great overall It was really hot when we arrived, and it took until morning to cool it off even with all the windows open We were unable to use the loft bed due to it being so warm up there Some fans would be nice in the rooms Otherwise, it was great- great location and it had the rooms and space that we needed for my 4 kids and I Cozy little cabin

A frame getaway

We had a nice stay. We saw elk moving thru in the morning. However, it is in a development with neighbors close by. There is an easy access to the White River. The cabin itself needs some TLC. There were burnt out lights throughout. As well as broken fixtures . The carpet in the downstairs bedroom was held down with duct tape. Most of the bedrooms were up the spiral stairs. Both of the bathrooms were downstairs. There is no dishwasher so prepare to wash dishes by hand. There were multiple cobwebs throughout. It is more suited for a ski getaway than a family trip. We did enjoy the quiet nights and clean air.

As others mention, the place could use some updates/finishes, but there’s lots of sleeping space and it has all the necessities. The greatest asset is the location!

Rustic getaway

We had a good stay, but the place could use some upkeep and upgrades like better lighting and a dishwasher. We have small kids and the spiral staircase proved to be a bit of a safety hazard. The layout is a bit odd so even though it has plenty of bedrooms, I think it is best for a single family’s use. I can’t think of sharing this small space with another family.

Comfortable Cabin....Good location...Crystal Mountain/Mount Rainier National Park

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cabin in the woods. It is very cozy and comfortable and was more spacious than we thought it would be for an A-frame. You can even stand up in the loft! The beds are very comfortable, nice towels, great water pressure, fully stocked kitchen. Cabin could use a little TLC (such as replacing lightbulbs) but overall we were very satisfied with this affordable cabin in a good location for access to Crystal Mountain and Mount Rainier National Park which are about a 20-30 minutes drive.

Nice cabin

The cabin was as advertised. There were quite a few cobwebs and there were insect poisons out at the edge of the deck that we had to keep the kids and dog away from. Other than that, it was a great stay.

A frame joy

The kids had a great time on the spiral staircase and loft! We enjoyed the spaciousness and being in the woods. Kitchen and baths good, maybe add wine glasses. King bed a little firm for us, maybe a memory foam topper to add to the superb silence! Thanks so much, we would stay there again!
