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.

"This place is a gem. We had a family gathering and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Very nice, comfortable, and gorgeous location, environment. The kids love playing pool, hiking and soaking in the hot tub. We will be back!!! "

"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...

"Great place, but the bed really needs to be upgraded"

Copper Creek Inn at Mt Rainier

10/10 Excellent

"The owners of Cedar Springs Cabin truly have thought of EVERYTHING. Just bring a toothbrush. The quaint little cabin is nestled behind a fence just off the main road to Mt. Ranier park. There are two restaurants, a gas station and general type stores within a couple of miles. Keep in mind the sidewalks roll up at 9, so get what you need prior. The cabin is so cute and well appointed. I wish we had stayed longer. It is an old cabin, so expect an old house smell. Overall, a wonderful little place!"
