Hiking getaway with friends
We choose this location mainly for hiking, locally and Mt Rainier. The property was clean and inviting; a great base station. Plenty of kitchen essentials and the family games are a nice touch. Packwood has a few food/dining options, breweries and a grocery store. Prices at the grocery store were as expected from a remote/local store, and the variety of food selection was good. The hot tub was great after hiking all day, but could use some maintenance. Overall a great stay.

Very nice property. Location was very convenient, close to town, but in very quite neighborhood and easy to get to Mt Rainier National park. We had a slight glitch with the app for the door lock, but the owner responded immediately and all was good within minutes.

Great getaway-staging for Mount Rainier National Park
We chose this location because it was in a good location with a short drive to Mount Rainier National Park. We spent our days enjoying the park and nature. The house was very nice, well equipped and I couldn’t have been happier.

Family friendly fantastic location
This was a clean and inviting location that fit our family ranging from age 7-17 plus parents. Relaxing common area, furnishings, fun activities, dinner table that fits everyone, and the air hockey/mini-pool, and pingpong were a hit amongst all. Kitchen and bathrooms don't have all the amenities- but great communication by the hosts helped us know what to expect in advance so no surprises.

Nice place but could be nicer
Overall cleanliness was a problem for us. Dirty dishes in the dishwasher, grubby counters, deck and patio furniture were filthy, etc. showers and bathrooms were clean and nice and overall stay was nice, once we got kitchen clean and up to our standards. Would we stay here again? Yes, but I hope cleanliness becomes more of a priority.

Great place located midway between Mt. Ranier and Mt. St. Helens
This property suited our needs perfectly. Both mountains were easily accessible. We like to cook in, and, for the most part, the kitchen was well stocked. I would have rated the property higher but the dangerous hand railing to the back door caused me to lower the overall rating.

Cozy lodge with a view
We had everything we needed. Had access to a fully stocked kitchen. Used the hot tub. We had a full view of Mt Rainier from the deck and she was was showing in full glory. Close to Packwood and 20 minutes from the park entrance. Lodge was quite spacious.
Pleasant stay near the main town of Packwood. Place was very clean and nice overall. Very nice bathrooms, laundry units, and beds. However, Internet capability and Apple TV was not good. Hotel size bar soaps and shampoo would make a big difference since traveling with these items are not always possible.

This property is awesome and we can’t wait to come back. We met the neighbors across the street who have an amazing view of the mountain and the creek. Very friendly community !
The house is nice and decorated beautifully. The beds were so comfy. I was happy it was pet friendly and the rooms were big enough for her crate. Any problems were handled immediately or they were going to handle with repair man when we left. The owners communicated so quick (they don’t live in packwood). They had everything you could need in the kitchen. Don’t forget to bring baggies, tin foil, etc. as the local stores jack up the price a little bit.
FWIW: The only bummer (but not their fault is that AT&T cell service is sketchy in Packwood so casting to their TV was challenging but it worked out.

Good place a few challenges
Good place to stay generally comfortable and accommodating. A few minor issues: limited place settings; could not figure out tv; if you are the kind of person who unpacks few places to put things; some furniture not very comfortable. Bear had raided garbage, we could not reach hosts and wound up cleaning it up ourselves.
