Essential Information for Your Mt. Rainier Cabin Stay

We want your stay at Mt. Rainier National Park Cabins to be as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Below are answers to some of the most common questions about reservations, check-in/check-out, amenities, and more. 

 If you have any remaining questions about your stay, give us a call at 509-731-3467! 

Are your cabins pet friendly?

All cabins at Mt. Rainier National Park Cabins are dog-friendly. We allow up to two dogs per stay, each must be 2+ years old. Pets must be registered at the time of reservation, and a $60/dog fee applies. Only dogs are allowed—no cats, birds, or other animals. An unregistered dog will incur a $250 fee. 

Dog Rules: 

  • Dogs may stay only in hard surface areas (kitchen, family room) and are not allowed in bedrooms or lofts. 
  • Dogs should be kept off furniture, though covers/blankets are provided if needed. 
  • Dogs must be crated when left unattended. 
  • All excrement must be picked up outside, and dog hair should be removed from surfaces before departure. 
  • Dogs must be on a leash in the neighborhood and may not wander onto neighbors’ property. 

When is payment due and what is the cancellation/refund policy?

Full payment is due at the time of reservation. Reservations canceled more than 30 days before check-in are eligible for a 50% refund. Reservations canceled or modified within 30 days of check-in are not eligible for a refund. 

What are the Check in/Check out procedures?

  • Check-in: 4:00 PM via electronic keypad or lock box. You’ll receive your code 24 hours before arrival. 
  • Check-out: 11:00 AM 

Are chains required to get to the cabins during the winter months?

No. There is no mountain pass near our cabins, and chains are not required by WSDOT. The roads are county-maintained and regularly plowed.
