The cabin was very charming and unpretentious. It's like grandma's 1970s budget-remodel basement. Very cozy and comfortable, very welcoming. It was perfect for us.
If I'm required to say something negative, I guess maybe the wi-fi was pretty much non-existent. If you're going to whine about not having wi-fi in a cute cabin at the base of Mt. Ranier... I don't know what to tell you. Open a window? Go stay in Portland? Seek help?

My stay was exceptional! I had an after hours check-in and the instructions on finding my cabin were clearly communicated. The room had a cozy cabin feel, making it the perfect place to rest after a long day at Mt. Rainier. The property is quite literally a stones throw away from the park entrance which is an added plus if you are trying to get an early start to exploring. Assuming you are spending the majority of your day at the park anyway, I’d highly recommend this place to stay with overall great convenience and comfort.
The only “drawback” to the place is that there is no service/the Wi-Fi is not great, however it was nice being disconnected for a short while. There is decent signal near the reception area, so you can just walk to connect and use your phone. I’d suggest having your route or any info you need predownloaded if possible, but relax you’ll be fine.

We stayed in Room 24 on 10/8/2024 - $141.77/night. They called to confirm our arrival time, which I appreciated, understanding that the desk isn’t 24/7. Large, cute room. Fridge, microwave and coffee. Stand heater that kept the room toasty all night. The room had a stand shower – only two we’ve seen in all our travels. The beds were very comfortable with four pillows each. I’m not sure why the room had been hosed with air freshener, though – we had to run open the door, run the fan and light a candle to mitigate the smell - once the air freshener cleared out, the room smelled deliciously of wood. Decent WiFi and a Samsung Smart TV. The nightstands had USB ports and outlets. The only negatives were the wonky shower head placement and a loose board in the bathroom, which we covered with the rug from the front door. Grade B.

Convenient location for morning and evening activities at Mt Rainier. We opted not to arrive until check in began, but it would be nice to enter the park earlier and not have to exit by 5 pm to check in. Room was clean and in good condition.
We stayed in a premium economy cabin. The light for the parking lot was visible through the blinds. Adding a solid light-blocking curtain on the front window would make the cabin a better place to sleep. The pull switches on the ceiling fan also hit each other.

I saw some mixed reveiws on this place, and I was surprised because the location is great! It is right next to the entrance of Mt. Rainier. We stayed in a premium cottage and the rooms were clean and beds were very comfortable. We may have stayed in a newer cottage, but either way, we were very happy with our stay.
The only thing I'd like to comment on, would maybe provide some utensils in the rooms in addition to the coffee/toiletries.

We were only here for a night to hike Mt Rainier the next day. We were a little nervous from the photos online, but in person the place was so much better than expected. We thought the cabins were adorable. RIGHT next to Mt Rainier’s park entrance which was super cool. The facilities themselves are a tad older, shower is a little tight, and room a little dim. We had zero wifi connection the night we stayed. However, we were only really there to get a good nights rest, so didn’t need anything exceptional. The place was clean and comfortable, and I would definitely consider coming back again. We also checked in after hours and the staff was friendly enough to leave us check in instructions for when we arrived.
No wifi, and tight shower.

The beds were comfortable. Had the junior suite, plenty of room. Relatively quiet. Last facility before access to Mt Rainier Park. The staff was very pleasant. You are near several restaurants. I especially enjoyed the Ukrainian restaurant, and went there a couple times. Also, The Copper Mill (call for take out-gets busy!). And the Wildberry restaurant featuring Himalayan cuisine. Quite the variety in one place!
I wish the hot water was warmer and lasted longer. You need to plan your arrival to the Inn, if you are coming during 7-3, you may run into a line waiting to go into the park, even if you are not going into the park, you are stuck. (Remember you need timed entry or you will be turned away at Park entrance)The wifi is very spotty and likely you won't have data access even with Wi-Fi and password ( all the way through the area near this part of Mt Rainier). Advise you to download any movies, shows, books etc in Ashford while you can still connect. Otherwise, enjoy being unplugged! 😁

Location is great, right at the entrance of Mt Rainier National Park. Staff was super friendly and communication pre and during the stay was on point.
Room n.24 (where we stayed) needs some maintenance in the bathroom where the panels of the shower feel like they could come down at any point. Also, the blinds allow for light to go through in the morning. It wasn't a big deal for us but I can see somebody else could be bothered. Curtains would be ideal.

Located right by the entrance to Mt Rainier National Park, the motel deserves its name. It is also near the outstanding Vopper Kettle restaurant where we enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner (but closes at 7.00pm). Our "cabin" was large and, usefully as we were battling jet lag, had two comfortable beds in separate rooms. Parking was right in front of the cabin.
The cabins are crying out for a bit of TLC and re-design. Carpets and furnishings are worn. The heating and WiFi are eccentric but basically work.

Two queen beds for the price is a great deal. The location is prime, is literally next to the Rainier National Park gate.
If I had one complaint would be that there was not a single plate to use the microwave, nor a fork or spoon, but that's my bad cause I wasn't ready with utensils for our food. Take utensils with you. The cottage is very well equiped with furniture but I wish it had at least a plate, bowl or something to heat food in the microwave.
