Great location
Place was only surface clean and beds were okay. We had a mouse problem on one night that kept us awake. We liked the layout of the cabin and it made it easy to get into the National Park

Great small cabin just outside Mt Ranier NP
This little cabin was perfect for a place to relax after exploring Mt Ranier NP. The cabin is located about 100 yards from the park entrance. It was clean and comfortable. The only issue was we could not get the TV to work properly. It seems the WiFi was limited and the TV kept “buffering”…but we were not there for the TV…we were there for the park.

Good for a night
Good for a night or two. Stayed in cabin 8 and the sheets and towels were clean and the bed was comfortable. The floor is crazy slanted and the decor is really old and dated. Needs a good deep cleaning and some serious updating. Staff was nice, and being close to the park was amazing.
