Pros: Pretty furnishings, close to Mt Rainier entrance, fairly well kept up.
Cons: Much smaller, less personal, and less private than places we’ve stayed for the same price that are also close to a national park.
It felt impersonal because you go through a phone service to check in or out or to get help. They made a mistake on our booking, so we had to go home a day earlier than expected. The cabin is nice but full of signs about what not to do, but without important instructions for things like working the finicky tv and shower, and without the little touches that often make rented homes nice such as old books, games, and movies or recommendations of where to go nearby.
The biggest negative for me is the bathroom. It’s so small that everything had to be very close together. The toilet is so close to the sink that I (embarrassingly) smacked my head on the sink when leaning forward. My husband had the same issue, and we had to pay attention throughout the week to make sure it didn’t happen again. The tub has very high sides, so I ended up smacking my knee on it whenever I got in. Definitely wouldn’t work for someone with mobility problems. I tried to look on the bright side and enjoy a bath in the deep tub, but the knobs are finicky and the shower kept turning on whenever I tried to use the hot water.
Last thing of note, we found one dish that was clean-looking and put away with the clean dishes but smelled truly disgusting. Ended up rewashing all the dishes.
