Perfect oasis in the woods

Aaron shares a wonderful little gem in Packwood. We went up to ski and the location was perfect. Less than 30 minutes and your parked at White Pass ready to ski (that was with snowy/icy roads) Fire place was cozy and heated the place perfectly so don’t forget your firewood! the back patio with a the sauna and hot tub were a welcomed treat after skiing. Beds were comfy and plenty of sheets, blankets and pillows. Lots of towels and instructions for the hot tub. There was a washer and dryer, just bring some detergent. Plenty of heat, lots of games and a cool coffee table book that shows all the hard work he has put into the property. Communication was great, Aaron was out of the country, but his property manager was around for last minute questions. The internet worked great. He’s already working on replacing the TV (the color is fading a bit) and adding a couple more pans for the kitchen. Otherwise it has what you need for a great getaway! We can’t wait to go back.

Awesome!

If you are looking for a place to stay near Mt. Rainier, this is the place! The house itself is clean and spacious. However, you will spend most of your time out on the back deck enjoying the quaint forest scene. The spa and sauna are in great condition and very clean. Aaron has created a unique and enjoyable space to relax. There is a book at the house that shares Aaron's story and how Cabana del Oso came to be- sentimental and impressive! My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. Cabana del Oso was a great place to retreat to after hiking all day at Mt. Rainier. We will definitely recommend it to friends and family. We may even make a return trip sometime soon!

What makes this property unique

6 person barrel sauna, new 6-person hot tub. We make soap here on site for our guests. Neighbors are only on one side of the house, so you get that secluded feel while being in the Upper Timberline Community.
