Getaway with Dad
My dad room my little brother and I to Elk Cabin for an overnight. We could t go camping be a use of the weather but this was the perfect alternative. We got to hike by the river, hang out in the hot tub, make snores by the fire and watch some Star Wars. It was perfect! And we saw a ton of elk! I hope dad takes us back soon.

Great host
Gonna keep this quick, as I was on my way to the property and later than regular check in time. I was starving and was thinking gonna have to start a chimney fire to get cabin nice and cozy before we start cooking. Figured probably 6pm after we settled in, to my surprise there was a fire started already, cabin was ready. This was awesome, really made our night awesome.

Wonderful stay at Elk Cabin
My family stayed at the Elk Cabin for a ski weekend at White Pass. We absolutely loved the cozy cabin. Everything from the hot tub with a beautiful view of Mt. Rainier, to the warm fireplace after a cold day on the slopes! We loved our stay and can't wait to come back for our next adventure.

Perfect Little Cabin
Elk Cabin is a wonderful place to stay. It is close to many different Lakes and hikes (in and out of Mt Rainier National Park) and you just couldn’t beat the proximity to the national park. For a nice little swim you could walk or drive just down the street to access the beautiful Cowlitz River. Every restaurant in Packwood was absolutely delicious! We liked how the Elk just wandered through the town. For a nice relaxing day trip, we found the Blue Hole swimming and really great rock hunting spot in the La Wis Wis Campground not too far away. The cold water was so refreshing! Thank you for your perfect town! We’ll definitely be back for some more adventures there.

Good spot for Mt. Rainier
Stayed here with my family of five. Inside was great. Plenty of room and sleeping space for our family. We were about 15 minutes from the Mt. Rainier Stevens Canyon entrance, which worked out well. We would stay here again if we end up back at Mt. Rainier (which is an awesome place to visit).
