We like to stay in historic motels. We Loved the spacious wooden cabin assigned to us. There’s a nice to go breakfast at the office plus great hamburgers and live music next door. However, the shower head in our cabin was faulty and no light over the mirror to shave nicely. The beds were comfortable. The cabin had a fantastic exterior porch, a nice refrigerator & microwave. Very close to Mount Rainer NP.

Nice Place to Stay

Very cute and conveniently located. We didn’t try the restaurant but there was one on location, loved all the seating areas outside, and the coffee and energy drinks from the shop were so good. Only complaint is the walls are very very thin. Heard the whole conversations from the room behind us and people wheeling out suitcases early in the morning from the wood sidewalk next to the doors. Otherwise loved this place and definitely recommend and hope to stay again sometime .

I stayed here years ago when my son and I took the mountaineering course up on Rainier. If you’re looking for luxury, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for a fun experience that’ll remind you of that summer camp you went to as a child, this is the place. And come on, Whittaker, Everest, history and of course this is the launch pad for so many Mt Rainier climbs. I hope to be back.
