An adorable small cabin in the woods with a wonderful view of Osborn Mountain, a place to disconnect and reconnect with nature. Enjoy this peaceful getaway and listen to the soft sounds of Big Creek in your backyard while keeping an eye out for the amazing local wildlife this area has to offer. This cabin is just 5 miles from the entrance to Mt Rainier Park! ORV trails, hiking, skiing, boating, fishing, hunting, and photography are all nearby.
You are on vacation and it is very important to us that you enjoy yourself! Please let us know if there is anything you need, we will accommodate you to the absolute best of our ability:) If you are looking for suggestions on the local area we are more than willing to be there for you! We also understand that every guest has a different preference on how much interaction they have with the host. We try to be aware of each person's individual wants and needs and completely respect your privacy.
This adorable Little Cabin on Big Creek is located inside the small community of Paradise Estates. The cabin faces beautiful Osborn Mountain with a couple of vacation rentals on both sides. The area is very peaceful and surrounded by natural beauty. A variety of birds, trees, deer, and elk are often seen here.
The small community lake is a short walk away and our guests are very welcome to go for a swim:) Please adhere to all community rules (located in the house manual) so that all of our guests may continue to enjoy this fun amenity! What a great way to cool off after a day of hiking!
If you are looking for a hike outside of the park...Big creek campground is on Skate Creek Rd and it has a trail head that leads up into Osborn mountain (challenging hike-dogs allowed).
****FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE HEADED TO THE MOUNTAIN FOR THE DAY, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AN EARLY START, OR YOU MAY FACE HEAVY DELAYS.*** Most have the same game plan as you:)
You'll also have an easier time finding a parking spot at viewpoints, trailheads, and visitor centers. Parking lots tend to fill up at Paradise by 11:00 AM. The busiest time at the entrance stations is typically from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Entire cabin is available. Easy access from Osborn road. We hope you enjoy the peaceful surroundings of nature as much as we do.
We hope you enjoy the rustic feel and cozy comfort of this 320 square ft tiny cabin
Plenty of enjoyment for a romantic getaway, a couple with a small child, or a good friend that doesn't mind sleeping on the couch:) We do allow up to four guests to stay in our cozy Little cabin, but please be aware four is a very tight fit! The sofa bed is very small!
Ashford lacks public transportation, you will definitely need your own car, bike or skates, hover board, broom, or camel:) The park entrance is 5 miles from your cabin. Plenty of trail heads within the area as well, all or most trails are worth your time. Nisqually River is close by for enjoying those river walks too.
The community has a small lake where you may see a family of ducks and geese.
Cell phone is limited in the area, Verizon works the best.
***If you plan on going to the mountain, we suggest leaving in the morning, or else you could face long delays getting in.****

The town of Ashford has two very small stores and one gas station that carry just the basics. We recommend you purchase any food/supplies you would like to have during your stay prior to heading up this way.
**Cell phone is limited in the area. Verizon seems to work best**
There is also a couple of restaurants you may want to try...Copper Creek Inn is famous for its BlackBerry pie. You gotta try it! Elbe tavern has juicy burgers and great fries. Elbe junction has the BEST locally made ice cream and pies. Base camp grill has good food as well (pizza, salad, burgers). Scale burger has good milkshakes (cash only) and burgers/fries. Pizza in Elbe is also good.
