03 / MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME
The good kind of downtime.
Cabin comforts, with the details that make them easy to enjoy.
Your private hot tub
Wipe your feet before stepping in, keep soaps and bubble products out, and replace the cover when you’re finished.
The hot tub is serviced weekly. The technician may be outside between 10 AM and 4 PM for up to 30 minutes, and service may affect availability for a few hours. Follow any instructions left by the technician.
If the temperature or display seems wrong, send us a photo before adjusting equipment.
The cedar sauna
Enjoy a quiet moment in the private sauna after a day exploring.
Please leave the sauna ready for the next person and follow all posted safety guidance.
Bedrooms & sleeping arrangements
Main-floor bedroom: queen bed and smart TV, with the bathroom on the same level.
Open loft: king bed. The loft has no door and is open to the living area. Ceilings are approximately four feet high in places; watch your head.
The cabin sleeps up to four guests. There is a half-step at the entrance.
Kitchen, coffee & meals
The fully equipped kitchen has full-size appliances, cookware, utensils, drip coffee maker, Instant Pot, blender, and toaster. The breakfast bar offers space for cooking and remote work.
Enjoy meals indoors or at the covered outdoor dining area.
Heating, A/C & fireplace
Use the white controller on the staircase wall for the ductless heating and A/C. Bedroom and bathroom cadet heaters have thermostats on the units. The electric fireplace uses the black controller.
For comfortable nights, use the bedroom zone heaters; the ductless heat pump can make the loft too warm.
The cement floors can feel cold. Backup slippers are provided, but bring your favorite slippers or cozy socks.
Bathroom Facilities
The main-floor bathroom has a rain shower head and handheld wand. Towels, hair dryer, and bathroom essentials are provided.
Please flush only human waste and toilet paper; no wipes or other products.
Laundry & entertainment
The washer and dryer are in the exterior laundry closet across from the hot tub.
Enjoy two smart TVs, board games, and books. Sign out of streaming accounts before leaving.
Grill, fire pit & yard
Enjoy the propane grill, outdoor dining, fire pit, and seating among the trees. The propane grill and hammocks are available Memorial Day through Labor Day. Outside that window, message us about availability before planning to grill.
Check Burn Ban Status before lighting a fire. Do not burn during a ban.
Campfires are allowed in the designated outdoor fire pits.
- Fires must remain inside the designated fire pit at all times.
- Keep fires at a safe, manageable size.
- Completely extinguish the fire before going inside for the night, leaving the property, or going to bed.
Fireworks are strictly prohibited at all times.
Grounds and hot tub staff may be outside for up to 30 minutes during routine maintenance. Please respect neighboring property.
Electric vehicle charging
EV charging is listed among the cabin’s amenities. Message us before arrival to confirm the connection type and whether you need to bring a compatible charging cord or adapter.
RIGHT OUTSIDE
A neighborhood
worth wandering.
The neighborhood is walkable; a car is best for exploring Ashford and the national park. Please respect private lots and keep dogs leashed.
04 / ROAD TO PARADISE
Make a day of the mountain.
Our local favorites, from a grocery stop on the way in to a trail you’ll remember.
Skyline Trail
A bigger mountain day: 1,700 feet of elevation gain, broad alpine views, and about 4½ hours of hiking. Check snow and trail conditions first.
Bench & Snow Lakes
A lake outing with rolling climbs and about 700 feet of elevation gain. Allow roughly two hours and check that the access road is open.
Comet Falls
Climb about 900 feet to the falls, allowing around three hours. Extending to Van Trump Park makes it a 5.8-mile outing with 2,000 feet of gain.
Rampart Ridge
Another option from our Road to Paradise hiking list. Open the park’s trail guide for route details and check current conditions before leaving.
Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad
A different way to spend a mountain day. Ask about the current train schedule and reserve ahead for the departure you want.
Find your kind of hike
Browse our family walks, longer hikes, and winter outing ideas. Choose a route for your group’s ability and the day’s conditions.
BaseCamp Bar & Grill
One of our Road to Paradise dining favorites. A convenient stop when you’d rather let someone else do the cooking.
Copper Creek
A local favorite from our area guide. Check opening hours before heading out, especially outside the main summer season.
Mill Haus
Our Road to Paradise guide calls this one worth the drive. Make it part of an outing rather than a quick walk from the cabin.
Dinner at the cabin
Pick up groceries on the way, put the full kitchen to work, and settle around the table. Check seasonal propane availability if you plan to grill.
Plaza Market · Eatonville
A fuller grocery selection about 35 minutes from the cabin, according to our host guide. A useful stop before heading into Ashford.
WinCo · Puyallup
Our Road to Paradise guide suggests stocking up here before the drive. Ashford’s grocery choices are limited.
Ashford County Store
A nearby option for basics and forgotten supplies. Check current opening hours and selection before making a special trip.
Park entry & winter travel
NPS says timed-entry reservations are not required in 2026. Entrance fees and passes still apply. Check requirements for your travel dates.
All vehicles, including AWD and 4WD, must carry tire chains November 1–May 1.
