Did the trick for a one night stay close to Paradise! Stayed in Deluxe Cabin and it was clean and shower worked well. Small fridge and microwave w/ coffee maker/coffee made it convenient for simple meals. Easy parking as well.

This was a great, rustic location right next to the entrance of the park. Easy to park and access. Cozy and great for a hiking couple looking to spend most of the day in the park and then have a simple meal in their cabin.

Closest to Mt. Rainier NP without having to pay for a premium and limited lodging inside the park. Convenient access to the NP after hours (i.e. free entrance). You can sleep up to 6 in a cabin. Great staff service.
