Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. Very spacious, clean and comfy beds. Well stocked kitchen/house. Tap water was refreshing/great for drinking - so nice not to have to but bottled. Enjoyed our beautiful evening walks along the river a black away and great location to Mt Rainier entrance. Enjoyed close by casual restaurants. Just make sure to stock up at grocery store as none close by (small convenient store is)

Thanks for helping in making great memories

The house was very well stocked and comes with a beautiful piece of property around us. It felt very cozy even though it had lots of room for our group of 4 to spread out. So close to Nisqually entrance into Mt Ranier Park which made it super convenient. Highly recommend this house for your stay while visiting Mt Rainier Park.

Great Weekend by the Mountain

We love Mt Rainier so much! And this cabin was a perfect home base for exploration. Nice indoor and outdoor space and close walk down to the river. My little niece left behind an iPad in a drawer in the cabin and Christy was very kind and helpful in getting it back to us. Thanks so much!

Beautiful cabin in the best location

We had the best time during our stay! The house is beautiful and PERFECTLY located literally a minute from the Nisqually entrance. It’s well equipped with everything you need- kitchen supplies, bedding, even sticks for s’mores by the bonfire. The host is super responsive and we loved the contactless check in /check out process. We had the best stay.

Great Family Getaway

The descriptions are spot on. The house was actually more spacious than I thought. The amenities were perfect. The kitchen is well stocked and we had all the tools we needed. The beds were comfortable. The hot tub was exactly what we needed and no chlorine smell was a plus. Thank you for a very comfortable stay. Definitely one of the best stays I’ve had with a vacation rental.

Doorstep of Mt. Rainier National Park

What a nice place! It was right outside the Nisqually Entrance to Mt. Rainier so it was easy to get to the hiking trails early. The house had a nice layout with enough room for everyone. The hot tub was appreciated after a long day hiking. We would stay here again if we are in the area!

Great spot

Awesome experience overall. The owners where very communicative and had all the information we needed before we even got to the home. The location is awesome and is less then a mile from the park. I would come here again if we came back to Rainer. The house rules where also very easy to follow.

Beautiful and fun

Truly beautiful cabin just outside the gate of Mt Rainier. The cabin was fully stocked with everything you need. My whole family, who were visiting from abroad, enjoyed it so much. Make sure you make smores at the fire pit. The kids loved it.

Mt Ranier Awesomeness!

I can’t say enough good things about this beautiful home! It is everything described and so much more! The host is super helpful and communicative. The home is gorgeous and has plenty of space, from the rooms to the large kitchen and dining room table! We used it as our “home base” since it is right by the entrance to Mt Ranier. The salt water hot tub was perfect after hiking in the snow and rain. This has become my new favorite national park and I would only want to stay at this amazing home!

Fantastic spacious location

The host Christy was great at communicating and happy to accomdate the fluctuation in people as our group changed. The bunkhouse was perfect for a mix of our group's interests, from walking to the river, evening s'mores, enjoying the land and expeditions to camp muir. All levels and all ages had a wondeful time! All the beds and futons were very comfortable, the only wish is that they had more bathrooms for a group of our size- otherwise perfect!

Dream home

I went to the Buchanans home for a get away weekend with a group of friends and it was amazing! The house is beautiful and clean; the kitchen is fully equipped! We felt like in a a Disney movie, it was so beautiful. Plus, the National Park is a block away which was great for a morning hike. I felt in love with the place, and Christy and her dad were vey nice and always responded my emails.

Great location for exploring

This was a great location and property for homebase to Mt. Rainer National Park. Basics in terms of linens and furnishings. Well stocked kitchen but zero soap, or any bath products other than hand soap which we weren't expecting when in this pricepoint for a VRBO so were caught off guard. Overall great spacious property and logistically ideal for park entrance and easy check in and communication.

Great Place to stay

We've stayed here a few times. It's well equipped (kitchen, toys, etc.) and clean. Quiet neighbourhood. There are some minor things (the gas fireplace thermostat works fine but is a little tricky to learn; some of the light switches are in strange places). Nothing that should keep anyone from staying here. We wouldn't hesitate to go back again.

Lodging for Mt Rainier Climb With RMI

We lodged at Buchanan's Bunk House while climbing Mt Rainier with RMI (4 Day Climb Program) and this lodging was perfect. The 5 of us were concerned that we would not get to enjoy the Bunk House given the busy RMI schedule + the night on the mountain...but Totally Worth It!!! A great place to relax and wind down after busy days of training, climbing, etc. Thank You Christy for sharing your wonderful property and making everything Easy! Regards, Chris
