Closest to Mt. Rainier NP without having to pay for a premium and limited lodging inside the park. Convenient access to the NP after hours (i.e. free entrance). You can sleep up to 6 in a cabin. Great staff service.

This place it literally at the gates of Mount Rainier and we LOVED it. The staff was all very nice and everything went smoothly. The only cons we had was the beds were very....well we will just say they've seen a lot of travelers. The only other thing food options are very scarce in the area and the ones available can get pretty busy. If they just used a little of the office space for some general snacks and microwave meals, I would imagine that guest would buy them as fast as they could stock them. That being said I would stay here again in a heartbeat and just hope it was just our mattress, and I'd pack more food.

Expedia or the hotel messed up my 2 night reservation, so I got to the hotel and they didn't have a room for me. I had to try to find something last minute during peak season for the national park. Otherwise we stayed in room 10 for one night- not very clean. Noticed a bunch of hair in the bathroom that I had to clean up as well as a used bar of soap. Sheets could've been cleaner as well. Probably wouldn't stay here again unless it was in a newer cabin.

This was a great, rustic location right next to the entrance of the park. Easy to park and access. Cozy and great for a hiking couple looking to spend most of the day in the park and then have a simple meal in their cabin.

Right at the park entrance.

Found two flying bugs in the room, not a big deal. Coffee machine wasn't very clean, but ran a couple of brew cycles to rinse and it's fine.

Mt. Rainier hiking

We stayed five night and no house keeping service. The minimum would have been to empty garbage and clean bathroom. The place is very convenient to Mt. Rainier Nisqually entrance. The place where we stayed could use updating (replace carpet, etc). The beds were replaced with the memory foam mattresses --and there is air con! The hosts were lovely

Bare necessities, room with beds, no hair dryer, no cups for coffee, why would you have coffee maker without any cups? Location is good but office hours end at 6 pm, so if you come late and don’t have cups for coffee or hair dryer good luck, you won’t get it till 9 next day. Disappointed.

Great communication from the hotel on checking in. The front desk is open limited hours, but the check-in was flawless. You can’t get any closer to the Mt. Raineer park gate. WiFi worked well without interruptions. Cleanliness was ok. No cleaning service or garbage pick up in 3 days. We had four adults (two 19 y.o. kids) staying in the same room. The space was tight. The sink and the only mirror was inside the bathroom so it was inefficient to get ready in the morning. Beds were ok. Shower water pressure was weak. (We recommend moving/adding the sink to the kitchenette area and repurposing the wasted closet space to the kitchenette and adding a full size mirror). The area has VERY limited amenities. We liked the Ukrainian restaurant and bakery and Himalayan cuisine restaurant. The general store and gas station didn’t even have bread and only had ham and cheddar for sandwich options that we build on hamburger buns. No decent chips or mustard or snack options in the area, so bring everything with you, unless you want to drive 30 min to an ok grocery store. Bring the breakfast with you too if you like to start hiking early. Hotel room had folgers coffee for the 12 cup coffee maker, no creamer, no sugar, only pink sugar substitute. I would bring my own stuff for coffee including 12cup coffee filters if I knew. Parking is directly outside the cabin, so VERY convenient to load, unload and hop in the car. I didn’t see better options in the area.
