About this property
Fish, kayak or relax at a riverfront cabin in the woods of Rainier, Washington!
Experience Rainier like a local in this quaint 1-bedroom cabin, where you can take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Located in the foothills of Mt. Rainier you can practice your fly fishing for cutthroat trout or kayak and tube float down the river from the bank just outside your door. Relax on the covered deck and listen to the Little Deschutes river as it flows gently past this fantastic property that offers a cozy retreat for guests. With its enchanting living room, complete with a sofa bed and a twin bed, as well as the master bedroom with queen bed and luxurious linens and comforter, and a bathroom with a hot shower and fluffy towels, you'll have plenty of space to relax and unwind. Stay connected with wifi, and enjoy the convenience of a hair dryer, washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave and convection oven. For colder nights there's a propane wood stove in the Livingroom and heating to keep you comfortable. Whether you're exploring the breathtaking scenery or indulging in local cuisine, this cabin is the perfect home base for your Rainier adventure. We'll be glad to help you with information about things to do and see! Just 10 minutes east of Rainier, Washington where you'll pass sheep and cattle grazing in fields dotted with live oak and glacial rocks, it's easy access to fun little restaurants or drive in to see Washington State's capitol, just 30 minutes to Olympia where you'll find great eats and things to do. After a day you'll never forget let the forest sounds, and perhaps the river otters chatter, put you to sleep...at the Otter House

About the host
Hosted by Jeanne Harris
This is my first adventure as a host of a short-term rental and it's been really fun getting my property ready to give my guests an amazing experience at The Otter House! I have years of experience in consulting as an organizational behavior consultant and when I retired I created an opportunity to do something I love...I'm a professional dog training coach! I work four days a week helping families learn how to create a love affair with their dog for life! When I saw this property come up for sale I knew right away it was going to be something that I wanted to share with people who needed a respite from hectic days of working and chores. My grandchildren have come out to the property and enjoyed the forest with it's huge pine cones and playing games in the large open space. Whether it's a weekend getaway for two, time for a family to bond without the distractions of daily life or you're looking for a personal retreat or a place to have a small wedding...The Otter House is waiting for you!
Why they chose this property
The Otter House is located in a small country neighborhood where people are very friendly and welcoming. The neighborhood is surrounding by fields of grazing sheep and cattle! It's only 10 minutes from the town of Rainier and 20 minutes from Tenino where both offer local restaurants and coffee stops! There's a market in Tenino and it's only 25 minutes to Olympia!
What makes this property unique
The Otter House is at the end of a cul-de-sac and when you drive down the short driveway all the others houses disappear and you'd think you were in the middle of the forest! It's peaceful with birdsong, you'll see bald eagles and osprey and the other day there was a doe with her three fawns crossing the property to get to the river! You can fly fish for cutthroat trout or kayak right off the bank of the property into the "Little D", the Deschutes River of Washington. You're in the foothills of Mt. Rainier with plenty of hiking or biking country roads. The cabin is a full house with all the things you need to relax and decompress from your busy days at home!
