Until then, we truly hope you enjoy the sounds of the creek and the peekaboo view!!

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.

Located in the Ashford city limits by the Ashford Grocery store, would be a great choice for your morning coffee:) Great prices and yummy too, great friendly owner.

* In the event that there is a power outage due to weather in the mountains, we do not issue refunds.

This adorable Little Red Cabin nestled in the foothills of Mt. Rainier is also adjacent to Big Creek and it 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.
After a long day of exploring all that the gorgeous mountain has to offer, follow the spiral staircase to the loft above where a comfy Ikea queen bed (which is a bit smaller than a regular queen bed but larger than a full size bed) awaits you for a restful nights sleep!!

Plenty of enjoyment for a romantic getaway, a small family, or some good friends that don't mind sleeping on the pull out queen sized sleeper sofa located in the living room;-)

PETS: I'm so sorry, we love our lil pups and we tried for quite a while to allow pets in the cabin, but we have have had to change our Pet Policy due to the amount of extra work it was causing our (amazing) cleaner, too much pet hair was being left behind by our previous guests and it was just causing so much work for her to get everything absolutely spic and span and ready for our next guests. You are welcome to contact me to request an exception (we absolutely understand how great it is to bring fur babies along and were sad to not be able to continue to allow them)
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. There are plenty of trail heads within the area as well! 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 and it's a great place for a quick swim to cool off in the summer
Cell phone is limited in the area, Verizon seems to 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.****
