Guests describe a cozy, clean space with thoughtful details and a responsive host
+ The Mountain House +
A perfect base to explore Mount Rainier National Park in the summer or hit the slopes at White Pass Ski Area during winter.
Our A-frame chalet is nestled between three mountains, Mount Rainier, Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens, which offers world-class hiking, climbing, scenic views, and year-round alpine adventure.
After a day on the mountains, unwind and experience the small-town ambiance in Packwood or cozy up by a wood-burning fire.
The space
Our 1,360 sq ft A-frame chalet sleeps 6 in one large master bedroom, an open sleeping loft (no doors), and sleeper futon beds in the sunken living room. There is one full bath on the main floor and a half bath upstairs. The spacious kitchen is fully furnished with a dining area.
We provide:
+ Roku-TV, a few books, and a variety of board games.
+ Wifi (Reliable and fast but sometimes, it can be disrupted)
+ Kitchen with cooking essentials including pots and pans, salt, pepper, and cooking oil
+ Propane Weber BBQ
+ Central air conditioner on the lower level and ductless mini-split in the upstairs
+ Locally roasted coffee, teas, and hot chocolate.
+ Washer and dryer onsite
+ Only Wifi & No Cellular Service +
There is NO cell reception in this cabin. We do provide fast and reliable wifi so you can use wifi-calling. Cell service can be found in Packwood town (10 minutes away) in case our wifi is disrupted in severe weather.
Originally built in 1968, our chalet is a work in progress as we continue to make upgrades. If you are looking for luxury, our modest cabin is not the best fit. Follow our journey @StaytheHouses on IG.
Guest access
Our chalet is located in the Timberline community neighborhood and is easily accessible from HWY 12. Up to 3 cars can park on our large driveway.
++ Mount Rainier National Park Access ++
Once roads open up late spring to fall, we are located 15 mins away from the Ohanapecosh entrance and about 1 hr to the popular Paradise or Sunrise areas. Please check the national park road status for up to date conditions.
++ Snow ++
During winter (generally Nov-Feb), snow is expected in Packwood. Like most mountain towns, all-wheel drive vehicles are recommended but the drive is generally tame. We will make every effort to keep our driveway and pathway clear but please be patient with local snow removal services.
++ Power Outages ++
Our rural small town Packwood can experience power outages caused by severe rain, wind, and snow. While this is out of our control, we will work with you to make your stay comfortable (and maybe even romantic). Our wood-burning stove will keep you warm, flashlights and lanterns to help you see, and emergency food and bottled water to sustain you.
