Weekend getaway

Although the weather did not cooperate for outdoor adventures, we thoroughly enjoyed down time just relaxing by the woodstove and sitting in the hot tub. It was just what I needed. The place had everything to cook meals as well. Private and beautiful scenery looking out at the river.

Perfect location for Rainer National Park.

We loved this house. So cute and had everything we needed. Super close to the park and restaurants. Loved the outside view. Exactly the cabin we needed with lots of room. Easy to get in and great directions everywhere. Had a great time. Highly recommend!

Perfect cabin in the woods getaway

We loved our stay at the River House. It was so peaceful, even with a rambunctious 3-year old. The river, the mountains, the hot tub, everything was perfect. And sledding on Rainier opened up just in time. Can't wait to come back again to take advantage of the fire pit and have s'mores.

Amazing Cabin!

This cabin is a real gem! The cabin itself was spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The surroundings were beautiful - the river, mountains and wildlife! Our kids loved it here too, and keep asking when we can go back. I cannot recommend this cabin enough to anyone looking for a place to stay to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, with easy access to Mt. Rainier.

Great Location and Cottage

This cottage was super for my wife and I in all the important ways. It was close to the popular Paradise entrance to the Park. Very important consideration for early entry if not on a timed entry permit - car lines car be a mile long for entry and full parking lots. Absolutely great location sitting in the quiet by the creek or enjoying the hot tub. Cottage was very clean and well equipped. Owner was super responsive.

Perfect sister trip

It was a great relaxing weekend in this little house in the woods overlooking a river. It was quiet, cozy and comfortable. Perfect for my sister and I to get a weekend away to read our books, play card games and relax in the hot tub. We had all the supplies we needed in the house except for a tea kettle but we made do with a pot. :) Beds and linens were clean and so comfy. Couches are warn but not uncomfortable, we lounged while reading enjoying the river outside and the wildlife walking by.

Beautiful Get Away

FIRST -- someone else commented on this and I didn't pay enough attention. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE ADDRESS!! It is the address with Ct in it!!Now, for the good part-- the cabin is LOVELY!! It has great cabin decor and well appointed. I am a big cook on vacation and I found the kitchen had really nice stuff (although it would be nice to have one smaller sauce pan). The river is lovely -- and the deck and hot tub. BEWARE if you go when it is warm -- there were lots of mosquitoes and ants by the river. Also, something to note, there really isn't much in the way of grocery stores near by -- bring what you really need.I would definitely go back!

All about the views and relaxation!!

This little cabin was so awesome! We came here to visit Mt Rainier and do some hiking and this was the perfect location. So close to the entrance of the park. The views from this cabin are unbelievable especially if you are fortunate like we were to get a few clear days and nights. Sunsets and sunrises were incredible! The rooms were very comfortable and kitchen was stocked with all necessary equipment. We had fun cooking lots of meals! Thank you for our stay, would love to come back again!

Lovely get away

The River House was a lovely place to stay. We sat by the river in the morning with coffee, had a fire outside, grilled, and fired up the wood stove inside. The house is outfitted well for cooking in. It was clean although if you have an allergy to scents, be warned. Scented cleaner or spray was used. The hot tub was heavy with chlorine smell. The master bedroom was comfortable as reported by our friends. My husband and I slept in the other room in the queen bed. This bed was not comfortable and we kept rolling into the middle. If there was only one person or someone smaller, I think it would be fine. I did let the owners know in my review. Overall, this is a lovely spot and the stars were wonderful. Heard elk bugling in the mornings.

We absolutely loved this cottage. We had plenty of space between the two rooms for my husband and I and our three daughters. The house was perfectly clean. We have to cook all meals due to my daughter’s allergies and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The washer and dryer helped us a tons after so many long hikes. The house is only about ten minutes to the park entrance but from the house to the paradise visitor center it was about 45 minutes. The other main visitor center is Sunrise and it was about an hour and 45 minutes from the house. There was a handy gas station only 5 minutes away with some groceries. I would say my only complaint would be that the hot tub is pretty outdated and buttons don’t work great.

Great Location / Quiet / Private

Check in was easy. Kitchen had necessary equipment to make our meals. Wi-fi was a little sketchy. If you accessed Wi-fi on your phone the Television would buffer. Hot Tub was clean and very nice (also private). The bedding and towels felt lovely and I appreciated no wrinkles on the sheets.... Well done...

Peaceful, Beautiful, Amazing

This property was not only exactly as described, but pictures and words didn't do it justice! The river behind the house was so quiet and peaceful - we watched deer drink and ducks float on by. The home was spotless clean, beds all very comfortable, and beyond beautifully decorated. Absolutely perfect.
