My family ( 2 adults and 2 children) plus our small dog rented the pet friendly " Lil Elk Lodge Cabin" from "Rainier Cottages" located in Paradise community in the town of Ashford, Wa., located just 5 mile drive from the hiking trails of Mt. Rainier. I gave 5 stars because we got the buy 2 nights get the 3rd free which made this worth it even though we got this cabin thinking it would be a cabin more secluded in the woods which it kinda is... however it is located in a neighborhood- in a community which meant there were neighbors to either side and across. However, it was still pretty secluded and peaceful especially in the backyard where the hot tub and firepit were and that's where we spent the majority of our time anyhow. Beware cell phone service was spotty- almost non existent. May not get a signal in most areas. Which was fine since we went to get some peace and quiet anyhow. When we entered the cabin...the living room had a enclosed wood burning stove type fireplace and they provided 1 bundle of wood and firestarter to get you started. Also had a tv with wifi and Roku ( you do need to sign in with your own Netflixacct and remember to remove when leaving). The decore was beautiful very woodsy...nice attention to detail. This cabin had recently been remodeled. Open concept, the kitchen came equipped with a fridge with freezer ( kinda small but fit 3 days of food and that's all we needed), small stove with oven ( big enough to fit a pizza ), Had all the pots, pans, bakeware, silverware, cutlery, teakettle, dishes, glassware for dining. Even had a coffeepot. No dishwasher...everything is wash by hand but they do provide dish soap and sponge. Off the kitchen is the restroom with walkin standup shower. Door off kitchen leads to backyard with big covered porch. There was also two bbq grills in the backyard to choose from. One charcoal and one gas. And the propane tank was provided. Horseshoe game in the side yard. Firepit and plenty of seating in the backyard. Large back porch with twinkle lighting where the 4 person hot tub was. Provided a total of 10 towels for our 3 night stay. So I would recommend bringing extra. There isnt a clothes washer or dryer so all garments and towels had to be hung out to dry after utilizing the hot tub and taking showers. We spotted ALOT of deer. They came right into the yard to graze. The kids loved that! Stairs off the livingroom went up to the 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor (beware stairs were kinda steep took a bit to get accustomed.) Kids or double twin bed room located at the top of stairs with view of the backyard/woods. Door off to the left separated the master bedroom with the queen bed. The ceiling upstairs is A-frame so adults may have to duck a bit to get into bed. No biggie. Wish there was a restroom upstairs from late night potty runs for the kids instead of navigating steep stairs but we made it work. There are a couple convenience stores approx 10mins away...if ya need to grab extra marshmallows or anything else. There are several Mt.Rainier hiking trails not too far away as well. Owners provide a listing with all the sights and things to do in the area. All in all we had a nice peaceful relaxing time. And didnt break the bank. I would definitely recommend.
