Our booking was somehow overlooked and when we arrived an hour past check in time the unit had not been cleaned/prepared.When the host was contacted by the vrbo site he contacted us and apologized. He then found a cleaning crew to come in asap to clean while we were out. When we returned it felt clean and more comfortable.

Perfect location, if you're heading to the State Park. Literally down the street. No grocery stores, but there is a small general store, so make sure you bring your food and such. Bring coffee filters. LolThe decor is a miss mash of things, which we don't mind at all. Kitchen well stocked. Plenty of towels and blankets. Pots & Pans are well used. We only slept in the master but the bed was comfy. Place was very clean. Neighborhood is quiet and private Yard is fenced for fido. Lots of games and things to do for a family or group.Owners are responsive, helpful and very kind. GPS will take you to the next street over and it will get confusing! So when inputting the address, DO NOT INCLUDE "CT". trust me on this. I would recommend to anyone who wants a comfortable, home environment. Super great location of you need a base for exploring Mt. Rainier State Park.

A Work in Progress

Upon arrival, the yard appears that there are plans for further home improvement projects as it is a bit cluttered. The inside also seemed to be a state of somewhat incomplete renovation.The furnishings inside the home are eclectic. There is a lot of gadgetry that is powered by a great deal of extension cords that are twisted around screws and taped to walls and ceilings. An attempt was made to take a hinged door and change it into a barn door, leaving the opening to the master bathroom and the contents and or people therein rather exposed. In the laundry room is a dog door that is large enough for an adult to crawl through that is always open. There is a lock on the laundry room door, but it is on the same side as the dog door. There is no way to secure the home. Bottom line - This home provided a place to stay that was very convenient to Mt. Rainier National Park. It offered 3 bedrooms, each with a full-sized bed. The home could comfortably hold 6 people. (There is a sliding couch bed, but it will not stay together and there was no clean bedding.) The appliances were very nice and in good working order. We were there two nights and even with the issues I mentioned earlier, we were comfortable enough. The price was reasonable, and checkout expectations were very easy.

Fun & functional

Lots of smart devices (speakers, thermostat, TVs etc). Several windows were unlocked when we arrived, which we locked. There is a medium-large dog door in laundry room which does not lock/couldn’t be closed from what we could tell. Lots of space, comfortable and clean beds, fun games and very creative extension cord wiring and lighting (a bit scary). Very nice sound system and karaoke set up! We just couldn’t figure out how to change the language-instructions would have been helpful. No kitchen linens were available (hand towels, etc) and kitchen sponge was very used (ick). Other than that we were happy, comfortable and enjoyed the clean environment. Very good value for the amount of space and price for being so close to the park.

Cute cabin in National Forest

Very roomy and comfortable stay at this cabin/house. There were many bells and whistles include like a karaoke machine and water cooler! Fun led lights at ceiling level made night lights unnecessary. The only thing that threw us off was the Beware of Dog sign, we thought we pulled into someone’s house instead of a Vrbo!

Great Cabin

When I review a property, I prioritize convenience, security and comfort. I highly recommend this property as a base for exploring the beautiful Mt. Rainier National Park. This cabin was perfect for us on our autumn trip. Mark has provided everything that a guest might need, including a well-stocked kitchen and pantry. Once we opened the door, we were set. This is especially important in such a rural area. Additionally, the layout of the cabin is great with bedrooms on opposite ends and living space between, including a game area which was fun. We had a great time, felt at home, and hope to return for future trips.

Communication with owners was very good and the house seemed clean. The decor was an eclectic mix of art deco, mid-century and rec room. The kitchen and laundry appliances are newer. Of concern was the electricity - there seems to be a DYI effort to rewire the house and there were electrical cords and extension cords strung around the ceiling in several rooms. A little scary. The landscaping/hardscaping seemed to be in progress.
