The remains of Soda Springs, one of 49 mineral spring that attracted visitors to this area in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The springs were developed by the Longmire family, who first settled the area in 1883 after building a wagon trail from Ashford, 13 miles (21 km) away. In addition to improving the springs, the Longmires constructed a series of cabins, tents, a 5-room hotel, and hiking trails to Paradise.

By 1915 the Longmires and the National Park were no longer seeing eye-to-eye, and the Longmires leased the property to a hotelier, who improved and continued to operate the springs until the National Park Service purchased the property in 1939.

You can visit the remains of a few mineral springs and an 1888 cabin by hiking the short and flat Trail of Shadows loop (0.7 mi/1.1 km). It's an easy walk, and there's a nice view of Mount Rainier from the meadows.

"The accommodations were convenient to paradise and all hiking we wanted to do."

"Beautiful pkace"

"The property had many good features (spices, kitchen equipment, etc)! But, the house had an odd smell and lots of giant ants and spiders inside the house. It was not very relaxing as my kids were fearful of the bugs. "

"Wonderful cottage at elk hideaway. Spacious rooms, kitchen, bathroom, and a private hot tub. Nicely furnished. Bed was not firm enough however"

"We were so happy with our stay. The cabin was clean and roomy and stocked with every essential you could need. We wish we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend this property. It was aldo within five minutes of the park. "

"Beautiful, cozy cabin. Perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed the hot tub and the proximity to Mt. Rainier."

"The cabin had everything we needed and more including all kitchen items and lots of games/puzzles for fun family time. The fire pit was the highlight for us and we spent several hours each evening enjoying a fire and smores. Easy access to the national park and a short drive back to cabin after a long day hiking and exploring, the cabin has a great location and amenities. We also loved the cabin chic decor and cozy feel inside. We would definitely recommend this as a place to stay if you're...

"Very clean, well maintained property. We stayed in a cabin with an outdoor covered porch with seating. Parking is right next to the cabin which makes it convenient for unloading and packing back up. Cabin was very clean and had everything we needed to cook meals, including an appt sized fridge. It was our second time staying here, and would definitely choose it again!"

"Love the cabin. Only issue was we were out of range of cell service when checking in. Meanwhile they were trying to send the code. They sent right at 4:00. So took a bit of time to contact them and get a text through. Maybe waiting till the last minute to send codes when you are in areas that have poor cell service is not the best idea "
