Great spot for a getaway

I wanted a little getaway in the woods with some close friends and this place worked out perfectly! Lovely space for cooking and socializing, very close to town and lots of hiking trails. Would definitely stay again!

Very nice property, great location

Very nice property. Location was very convenient, close to town, but in very quite neighborhood and easy to get to Mt Rainier National park. We had a slight glitch with the app for the door lock, but the owner responded immediately and all was good within minutes.

ski house

The house and bed were great for our group during our ski trip. However, many things were not working as well as we hoped: the hot tube, fireplace, and heat all need lots of work. It wasn't clearly stated that we needed to download an app to be able to unlock the rental.

Mt. Rainier Visit

Great location for visit to Mt. Rainier. Packwood is a lovely little town, we had everything we needed for a short stay. Plenty of space and comfortable bedrooms for 4 adults and 4 teens.

This house has plenty of comfortable beds and is an overall fun space for a ski weekend!

We liked the wall map and pins to identify visitors’ hometowns. We need more pins! Thanks so much to the hosts of this property!

Family friendly fantastic location

This was a clean and inviting location that fit our family ranging from age 7-17 plus parents. Relaxing common area, furnishings, fun activities, dinner table that fits everyone, and the air hockey/mini-pool, and pingpong were a hit amongst all. Kitchen and bathrooms don't have all the amenities- but great communication by the hosts helped us know what to expect in advance so no surprises.

Great place located midway between Mt. Ranier and Mt. St. Helens

This property suited our needs perfectly. Both mountains were easily accessible. We like to cook in, and, for the most part, the kitchen was well stocked. I would have rated the property higher but the dangerous hand railing to the back door caused me to lower the overall rating.

Pleasant stay near the main town of Packwood. Place was very clean and nice overall. Very nice bathrooms, laundry units, and beds. However, Internet capability and Apple TV was not good. Hotel size bar soaps and shampoo would make a big difference since traveling with these items are not always possible.

Ski trip

Overall a good location and we have stayed here before. The front door lock app was an issue at check in. The instructions say that the code is the last 4 of your phone number, but you actually need to download an app that has to be sent to you by the owner. So we could get in because the door was unlocked, but we could not lock it once we unloaded. The towels were still dank, like they were not fully dry. Kitchen has no basic necessities like salt and spices. The hot tub has no stand to hold the cover and was very heavy. We did our best to keep it off the ground, but the sides of the tub are literally sitting in muddy dirt. Again, nice place, good location, good response from owners. Just needs a few tune.

Nice place but could be nicer

Overall cleanliness was a problem for us. Dirty dishes in the dishwasher, grubby counters, deck and patio furniture were filthy, etc. showers and bathrooms were clean and nice and overall stay was nice, once we got kitchen clean and up to our standards. Would we stay here again? Yes, but I hope cleanliness becomes more of a priority.

Great location and comfortable space, needs upgrades

Overall this is a great location and space. Both the owner and property manager were very responsive and helpful. However, the house does need some serious upgrades that have been neglected. Slightly annoying when things look great at first glance, but then are actually broken or unusable when you get into it. For example, cupboard doors falling off when you open them. Also the main TV isn't a smart TV, has a Roku but no Roku remote. Has a DVD player, but no HDMI connection. Upstairs tv has a DVD player, but the drawer to insert a dvd doesn't open. Hot tub has a hole busted through the side and a jet that is broken so that water shoots straight up into the air. Lid is also completely broken and also waterlogged because of said jet. Therefore you cannot actually remove the lid because it weighs about 100lbs. You can fold it over and use half the tub, but water is full of debris because the cover is torn down the middle and cannot keep debris out. Until this is actually addressed, I would not consider the hot tub an asset that should be advertised or paid for.
