Bear Lodge is a classic log home in Packwood, WA. Experience the magic and beauty of the Cascade Mountains and Mt. Rainier National Park in this beautifully built and immaculately maintained vacation home. Have your ultimate mountain holiday in this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom cabin. It's an ideal place for large family getaways or several couples on a ski or hiking trip. Sitting on wooded property, this luxuriously rustic and cozy cabin and peaceful setting is perfect for your vacation.

After a wonderful day exploring Mt. Rainier National Park (only 8 miles away), or Mt. St. Helen's National Monument (80 miles away), hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, or skiing, cook a fabulous meal in the fully equipped kitchen (or grill on the deck outdoors!) before sitting down for an elegant meal in the dining room where every meal feels like a special occasion. Cozy up in the large living room with a fire in the stone fireplace and share stories with your friends and family about the day's adventures.

We love to cook, so the beautiful slab granite counter tops and stainless appliance filled kitchen should have everything you need to make wonderful meals. In the cupboards, you will find a crockpot, fondue set, blender, hand mixer, large toaster, electric pancake griddle, wok, nonstick pans, baking sheets, and more. On the counter you will find a Keurig (K pods provided), an electric kettle and Cuisinart coffee pot, complete with grinder. We haven't forgotten the helpful kitchen essentials: salt and pepper, spices, olive oil, vinegar, tea, sugar, coffee, cocoa, popcorn and many condiments in the refrigerator.

Out on the deck, a large hot tub makes for a delightful evening of stargazing and quiet relaxation. After a busy day of biking, hiking, skiing, or fishing, soak in the tub and listen to the sounds of nature in the secluded 3 acre back yard. We have over 60 movies on DVD, a Smart TV, Netflix, and over 20 board games for your vacation entertainment!

Each bathroom offers high quality linens, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion.

This home also has wireless internet access, so if you must do some work or school work on your vacation/getaway, you may do so in the comfort of the cabin, on the porch or in the hammock while you enjoy the natural beauty of the area. As cell service is "spotty" in the mountains, there is a land line for your convenience.

We are family friendly and have a Graco 'Pack N Play' and a portable booster style high chair for your use. Our cabin is a smoke free environment (except for use of the fireplace). All linens are hypoallergenic (down alternative comforters) and each bed is covered high quality, high thread count 100% cotton sheets and duvet covers. In addition to the 4 bedrooms, there is a (not private) loft with a twin mattress and a full sized mattress for sleeping up to three, as well as a den for reading a book or watching television. We have 8 portable fans as well as a ceiling fan in the living room for use on hot summer days.

Bear Lodge welcomes the truly young, the young at heart, the great adventurer and those just desiring a peaceful rest for the mind, body and soul!

Ski - only 20 miles from White Pass a paradise for downhill and cross country skiing, snowboarding, sledding and snowshoeing.

Stargaze - right from the back deck, yard and recreational fire pit.
Visit National Parks - 8 miles from Mt. Rainier National Park and about 80 miles from Mt. St. Helen's National Monument.

Hike - There are no end of trails to hike, rivers to walk, vistas to view, and flora and fauna to enjoy. Surrounded by wilderness, you could spend years finding new trails. Our cabin is a half mile from the Gifford Pinchot National Forest - one of the oldest National Forests in the United States.

Fish - Great fishing on the Cowlitz River and Skate Creek, only minutes from the cabin. Just over White Pass is the Tieton River which has class III-IV White Water Rafting in September each year, just 40 minutes from the cabin.

Hunt - Excellent hunting in the forests surrounding Packwood.

Shopping and antiquing, restaurants, saloon, and bakery/coffee shop a 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive from the cabin into downtown Packwood.

Pan for gold! Information at the Packwood Prospect and Mining Supplies.

Arrival time is 4:00 pm and departure time is 11:00 a.m. We try to be as accommodating as we can be (a little more difficult during busy seasons) with the arrival and departure times. If your group needs an exception with the arrival or departure time, please feel free to inquire with your desired time changes, we will do our best to accommodate.

We have a 40Amp EV charger which charges at a rate of about 28 miles per hour.

Come, sit and relax on one of our porches and enjoy a superb cup of the locally roasted coffee, while watching the elk graze at Bear Lodge. Please, be our guest; let our home be your home for a few days, a week, or longer if you can. We would be delighted to share the beauty of the beautiful Cascade mountains with you – and a home that will help you create the kind of memories you will relish for a lifetime!

We prefer to give our guests their privacy. For safety and security, we have Ring cameras on the front porch, overlooking the driveway and overlooking the back deck toward the yard. No cameras are inside the cabin or looking inside the cabin. We have a wonderful hospitality team that all live within a few minutes of the cabin for assistance if needed.

Great log home, close to White Pass skiing

This is a beautiful log home, very clean and comfortable, and the property manager was great to work with. There were not as many beds as listed online, but we had enough for our group. The road getting up to the home is steep in spots and required all wheel drive in the snow.

Awesome location, great home!

Plenty of space for our family of 7 + two grandparents. Great location. Kids enjoyed the hot tub, hammock & fire pit for roasting marshmallows. We really appreciated the many board games & kitchen amenities. Overall a great home! The AC was definitely needed during our hot visit!

July visit

Enjoyed the log cabin which accomodated our party of 10. Everything was provided that we needed. Hot tub was a hit. The lowest step on the stairs going to the hot tub area needs to be repaired or replaced. It is tripping hazard. Also enjoyed seeing lots of elk not far from cabin.

Memorable Family Weekend

Bear Lodge was the perfect place for our family to relax, play games and make fun memories. Close to the White Pass Ski area, and the cute town of Packwood. There was plenty of room for everyone, a well-stocked kitchen and everything we needed. Would consider staying there again!

Girls Trip Gone Wrong

It was supposed to be a girls weekend, but children happen. The property was lovely! An elk cow brought her offspring to the property after rain. The apple trees are a treat for the wildlife. The rear man door sticks and the slider lock is tricky, but the peacefulness was so worth it! Don’t forget to unlock the hot tub before it gets dark. When it gets dark, it’s dark out there!! Very peaceful.

Great stay in Packwood

We had a lovely stay at this house in Packwood. The location is ideal and close to everything , but feels secluded and private. Everyone had place to spread out and enjoy family time. It was very clean and well stocked. Mattresses were beyond comfortable and we all slept great (very rare for a Rental house). We enjoyed the back porch area and big deck with hotub. Would happily stay here again and managers were very helpful and responsive. Thank you!

Awesome

My husband and I enjoyed our visit at Bear Lodge very much. Our three kids, their spouses and our three grandsons joined us for a mini vacation. We were able to check in easily and the cabin was very clean when we got there. There was enough room that all the couples had their own bedrooms and the high chair and pack and play were a bonus for the youngest grandson. There was plenty of parking. The kitchen had ample dishes, pots and pans, cutlery and glasses for all 11 of us. Having the use of a barbecue was a bonus. The bathrooms had plenty of towels and toilet paper and there were extra blankets. We were able to enjoy meals together and play games around the large dining table. The grandsons enjoyed the hot tub. The hosts thought of everything we might need and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Bear Lodge.

Great family cabin

We had four families come together at this cabin with kids ages from 1-16. Everyone enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is well equipped for large families with enough beds but also enough dishes, towels, and seating areas to accommodate all of us. We had timely communication with the owner/manager to fix a tricky issue. The cabin is a great jumping off point for getting to Mt Rainier and the town of Packwood was enjoyable with several activities going on throughout the weekend.

Charming log cabin with all the amenities near heart of town

We are a women's hiking group who totally enjoyed our stay at Bear lodge and highly recommend this property to groups or family gatherings. A wonderful log cabin lodge with modern amenities and a well-stocked kitchen to make a visitor feel at home. Comfy master suite. Located just a stones throw from town eateries, shops and the brewery. The management was delightful to work with, communicated well, very helpful and responded promptly to all of our questions.

Great place!

Our stay at Bear Lodge was excellent. The house was very clean and well organized, with great instructions on using the hot tub. This location for us was a perfect home base to explore both Mt Rainier and Mt St Helens. The little town has a great bakery with the best breakfast baked goods and coffee. There was also a grocery store close by. It is a bit of a drive to Mt Rainier or Mt St Helens, but that did not bother us at all.

We are very active in our communities both in Packwood and where we reside and work in the Puget Sound area. We have 3 wonderful children that are very excited to experience and enjoy more recreational activities and nature-time in Packwood and all of it's surrounding paradise. Our family loves to travel and have had multiple pleasurable experiences with staying in vacation rental homes. We have enjoyed our vacation rental experiences throughout the country so much, that we made the decision to own our own mountain retreat and share it with others like you. We hope you find Bear Lodge to be just as relaxing, peaceful and exhilarating for your soul as our family finds it to be!
