About the host
Hosted by Karen
Hi, my name is Karen and Elk Meadow Chalet is our family vacation home that I rent out approximately 30 days a year. This is not your typical vacation rental outsourced to a property manager or rental agency, but one I oversee myself with a fantastic maintenance and cleaning team. My goal is to provide the highest quality for a vacation rental in the Mt. Rainier, Crystal Mountain Resort area. You'll find new comfortable furnishings, great linens, chef's kitchen, quality appliances, well-stocked kitchen, attractive decor and basically provide everything you need to have an exceptional stay in the mountains.
Why they chose this property
Crystal River Ranch is the closest community to the Mt. Rainier Sunrise entrance and Crystal Mountain Ski resort. We are located on a private forested, fenced lot, that is very safe and away from Highway 410 noise. We have one of the best lots in Crystal River Ranch at the end of culdesac and walking distance to the clubhouse. Perfect location and set up for families and multi-generations to share space. Great place for youngsters to run, play in the woods and ride bikes.
Now that Mt. Rainier is requiring reservations this location is close enough to get into the park prior to the 7 AM time and also if you opt for a later start, it's very easy to have a full day in Mt. Rainier getting in by 3 PM.
Now that Mt. Rainier is requiring reservations this location is close enough to get into the park prior to the 7 AM time and also if you opt for a later start, it's very easy to have a full day in Mt. Rainier getting in by 3 PM.
What makes this property unique
We feel so lucky to have Crystal Mountain Resort and Mount Rainier in our backyard. Mount Rainier White River entrance is 20 minutes away and perfect for accessing some of the best hikes along the Wonderland trail and the Sunrise part of Mt. Rainier. The hiking and world-class views are also plentiful along Hwy 410 named one of the top 50 scenic highways in the United States. Crystal Mountain Resort is Washington's largest ski area, with 2600 acres for your skiing/boarding pleasure and over 3000 feet of vertical. Even though Crystal is close to Seattle and Tacoma, it's much more than just a locals' skiing hill. Crystal usually ends up on the top 10 lists for ski magazines' lists for best North American terrain, and it deserves the accolades. A major renovation is currently underway for the facilities. Crystal offers 9 lifts, a surface tow plus the Mt. Rainier Gondola with some of the most reliable snowfall in the Western United States, and.... if you are there when the sun shines jaw-dropping views.
