About this space
Immerse yourself in Washington’s wilderness in a deluxe modern Airstream with vintage flair! Located just minutes from Mt. Rainier National Park, our 25’ Airstream sits on nearly half an acre of Douglas fir forest by the Nisqually river. Cozy up with a board game or plan your next adventure on the topographical map of Mount Rainier. Outside, relax in the covered hot tub, stroll by the river, or snuggle up by the firepit to roast s'mores under a starlit sky. The perfect escape into nature!
The space
Luxury glamping at its best! The Alpine Airstream has 250 square feet of interior space and is perfect for a couple or 2 close friends looking for an escape into the wilderness. The 2021 Flying Cloud Airstream has both modern amenities and a few unique systems that allow it to be in such a spectacular location. Everything is clearly explained, please read the details to make sure it’s a good fit for you.
THE KITCHEN: The kitchen comes fully equipped to prepare your meals. You will find a 3-burner stove, freezer/refrigerator, microwave/ convection oven combo, coffee maker, cutting board, utensils, plates, bowls, glasses, mugs, and a sink. There is also an assortment of pots and pans, as well as a tea kettle. The dinette table features a topographical map of Mount Rainier.
THE BATHROOM: The bathroom has a sink and toilet. There is a separate shower with hot water for short (camping-length!) showers :) Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and lotion are provided, as are luxury bath linens and spa robes for your use with the hot tub. The toilet has a 40-gallon waste holding (black) tank. If you stay more than a couple of days, we will come and empty it as needed.
SLEEPING: The bedroom has a queen sized bed outfitted with luxury bedding and an iconic Northwest Pendleton blanket. The main room has a convertible sofa bed, as well.
HEATING AND COOLING: The furnace and A/C will keep you comfortable no matter the temperature outside.
OUTDOORS: Fairylights illuminate the covered deck with a hot tub and a lounging area. Spa robes and slippers are provided to guests. In front of the Airstream is a firepit with Adirondack chairs - just bring some firewood, snuggle up in one of the wool Pendelton throws and get those smores going! There is also a gas BBQ for your use. Follow the trail leading down to the wild and beautiful Nisqually river (a 5 minute walk) where you can enjoy the view or have a picnic (picnic blanket supplied!).
