We had a wonderful time at the cabin! It was perfectly situated in the woods – it felt private but was close to everything we needed (including the mountain!). We loved all the little cozy details and the collection of tapes and movies. We also liked that there was easy access to nature, and we were able to have a nice walk in the woods close to the cabin. We hope to come back again :)

Paradise Cabin by Mt Rainier

What a great little cabin! An easy drive into Mt. Rainier National park, perfectly situated in a quiet little meadow away from the busy park traffic. The house had everything we needed for our family of four to cook dinner and have coffee on the porch. Ashley was a great host and communication was easy! We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Sprecher

Host profile image
Our small family began The Happy Hotelier because we love staying at unique vacation properties for ourselves. Personally having been in property management for the past 10+ years, it just made sense for us to make the transition to becoming hosts ourselves.

Why they chose this property

We love this property which hosts two cabins, each sleeping 4, because it offers a chance to stay in one or both cabins. They are situated in a way that both cabins feel very private, but are close enough to enjoy the meadow, creek, and local activities together.

What makes this property unique

Having both cabins and the meadow there, we allow events on site. Our properties are two of five cabins in our small neighborhood which is surrounded by 1000+ acres of State Forest for your exploration. There is a great sense of seclusion and peace when you visit here. The trickling of the seasonal creek and the sound of the rain on the metal roof is comforting even when the weather is blustery.
