This gem of a cabin was exactly what we needed for our Christmas getaway! Very well maintained, quiet, and had everything to make our stay comfortable. The temperature was always ideal except when the fire burned too hot and we needed to open the window upstairs, but it worked great and never got stuffy. Bed is great too! Host was quick to respond and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies. Overall, this little cabin is so magical! Highly recommend!

We really liked the coziness of the little cabin! It was set back in fhe trees, which made it feel like a fairy tale. But it was in a little neighborhood, so it was not scary. So perfect! We loved having a wood burning stove! And the kitchen was tiny-but had what we needed. We also had some water filtration concerns and they came and fixed that the same day! Great place!!

Nice location to visit Mt Rainier

Cute place. Nice shower, comfortable bed. We had an area wide power outage, but the cabin was stocked with a few flashlights in plain sight. Water was as stated high iron, but the large bottles of fresh water (Culligan style) were nice for our hiking days.

We never had to deal with the host directly. House was ready and clean when we got there. We had trouble with the dvd player and did not want to log in to our accounts to watch tv, but we didn’t bother the hosts with the problem.

Cozy getaway

Hubby and i enjoyed our weekend stay to celebrate our anniversary. Cabin is compact but cozy and well situated. We didn't get to use the fire pit due to a burn ban but it's a fantastic space. Definitely not a place for people with mobility issues but we loved it. Would absolutely stay again.

Cute, great location, a little misleading

Property is in a great location. Easy access to the park. The place is super cute and cozy. Bedroom is in loft up tiny steep stairs. I chose to sleep on couch. Kitchen is nice and new bathroom is beautiful. No wood at location as shown in picture. Overall because of location I would stay here again. Also, laundry is 15 miles away (not nearby).

Two Day Stay

My wife and I enjoyed two nights in Ashford while visiting the surrounding area. The home was perfect to come back to after a long day and relax somewhere comforting and homey. It was clean and well maintained, despite being rustic (as advertised). It seemed the owners had thought of everything, including a small print out with information about the home and things in the area. There are some aspects others might hold against it—bad cell service, slow WiFi, well water—but to me, it was exactly what one would expect while staying in the mountains. I loved my time here and would recommend anyone else stay as well.

Beautiful A Frame Cabin in Ashford

If you're looking to get away from it all for a weekend and you enjoy the splendor of the Mt. Rainier area, this is your place to go to. Hosts were very responsive and left some nice snacks for us. If you are looking for a speedy wi-fi connection, please note that while there is wi-fi it is slower, but why are you going online when you are in the middle of one of the most beautiful areas in the country anyway? I rented this cabin five years ago and am looking forward to returning soon. I highly recommend this jewel in the woods.

Cozy and Cozier!

One of the coziest cabins to ever stay in. The cabin facilities were splendid and very functional. Small but workable shower. Great kitchen and great selection of shows with their ROKU stick on the TV. Ashford the city had little to offer but Cabin Creek Resturant offered a great meal. Great Cabin however!

Great location and a cure little place to stay. Cameras at the front porch and back area felt too intrusive, there's a way to point the camera to the parking area only so guests sitting on a porch are not in the camera view. Also, only 2 towels were provided what is not enough even for 2 guests for 2 nights.

Chilly but cute

Cute place but in February it was pretty chilly. Bring your own firewood for the stove. They do not provide wood.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Mar 2021
Just for clarity for future renters, the wood stove is not the only source of heat for the cabin. There is an electric wall heater that heats the cabin sufficiently and pre-trip documents explicitly state that we do not provide firewood and gives suggestions on where to purchase firewood if you would like to use the wood stove.

Weekend staycation

The cabin is beautiful, but we were a little disappointed with the location of the cabin. From the listing it seemed like it would be more secluded. The cabin is in a neighborhood with a bunch of cabins around it. It was quiet, and peaceful. It's a short walk to the river. Cabin was comfy and cozy but the wifi was very slow. The iron smell of the water was a little unpleasant. The stairs are are very steep and maybe difficult to navigate for others. But overall a nice experience.
