This was a perfect place to stay for our weekend getaway to check out the Packwood Flea Market. Beautiful neighborhood and walking distance to the market. The family of elk that live in the neighborhood were beautiful. The house was pristine and very homey and the hosts were very kind and communicative. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!

Breathtaking

The house and neighborhood was very nice, quaint and relaxing. It was a nice walk to the town. Elk were peacefully walking around. The mountain views were gorgeous.

Well appointed and comfortable

The cabin was quiet and lovely with easy access to Packwood. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. I do think the cleaning crew needs to be a little more thorough with cleaning the rugs and the outer bedding (comforters andcshams).

Family hiking week

Enjoyed our stay in Packwood so we could hike at Mt Rainier and the Tatoosh mountains. The house was wonderful! We were able to walk into town to coffee or dinner or just grab something from the grocery store. Sitting on the front porch watching the elk come through the neighborhood was fun in the morning and evening.

Our trip to Washington included visiting Mt Rainier. This cozy cabin fit our needs for our family of seven. The cabin appears to be newer and it is very clean. The owners were quick to respond with any questions we had. We would recommend this cabin to our friends and family.

Hidden gem in Packwood

This was a beautiful little neighborhood just minutes from Packwood and a quick drive to Mt. Rainer. This home was lovely and the loft room was perfrct for kids. The elk even wandered in the backyard as we had a campfire. Very clean and easy check in/out process. Communication from hosts was fantastic! Would definitely recommend and appreciate them sharing their beautiful home!

Ready to enjoy and relax

We were greeted by the elk upon our arrival. We love nature and the outdoors so that just set the stage for our getaway. The house was newer and very clean. Nestled away in the northwest corner of Packwood, it was a great place to enjoy fellowship while only being a short drive to the White Pass for skiing.

Ski Vacation

Property was as described. Convenient to White Pass. No fan in the 1st floor bathroom made it steamy. Entry keypad never worked for us. However, the owner was quick to communicate and allow us access remotely. Left it unlocked most of the trip. Was only left 2 kitchen garbage bags for 8 people over 4 days. Wish we had know that in advance.

Perfect location for half day trips to Mt. Rainier and its surroundings

Booked this property for its proximity to Mt. Rainier. We were interested in visiting Paradise, Sunrise, and Tipsoo Lake. This is a very beautiful new house in a quiet gated community, not far from grocery store. It has a nice layout, a fireplace (which we ended up not using because of a gorgeous Oct weekend), with spacious bedrooms and very comfortable mattresses. The kitchen is well equipped; and outside there's a large grill and a fire pit. Although we're just one family this time, I think it can easily fit 2, maybe 3 families (depending on their size). Will definitely come back in the future.

Just what we needed!

We were in the area for a couple of days of hiking. We’re from out of state and had spent several days in Seattle before going to Packwood. Elkhorn Cabin was so refreshing after being in Seattle! And all the “little things” were amazing - laundry detergent so we could wash more warm-weather clothes (we expected it to be cooler near the mountain!); microwave popcorn to snack on; Apples to Apples and wii for family game time; television that we could stream from/project to for watching a movie. Spacious bathrooms, comfy beds, all the elk roaming the neighborhood… it was lovely. (Sorry we forgot to sign the guestbook!)

Great and clean house very close to the park

The house was excellent! We stayed two families, each with two teenagers and we had enough space. The house is perfectly maintained, it was super clean, had anything we could think of in the kitchen, in the bathroom. All the appliances were great and any question we had we got an answer right then. The house is located in a gated community, has a beautiful backyard with a fire pit and comfy chairs. We all had excellent time. The drive to the park is great too, it took us about 50 minutes to get to the Paradise visitor center which is great. There is a river very close to the house. I totally recommend it! Would definitely come back

The elk seemed to be in arms reach

We sat on the porch watching the elk walk by, they seemed so close you could pet them. Obviously, that's not safe so don't do it. It was so amazing to see so close. The group of them munching and laying around chilling out with young ones in tow. We went there for a memorial service so it was an emotional trip but everything worked out better than we hoped, especially with the elk. The house had room for the 9 of us staying at this location, comfortably. Everything was clean and new. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was a peaceful stay even with all ranges of age for the kids. I would love to go back again when we could do more and stay in the same home....some day :-)

Great cabin. Awesome hosts. Always clean and has what we need for a great stay.
