Packwood was a good place to stay for our June 2025 trip, with a few restaurants and a grocery. You have to turn and cross the bridge in the middle of town to get to the Cedar Cabin's property.Signs are easy to follow (Google maps helps). Check-in was super easy; park right next to the cabin and head in. The property has some animals, but it was nice and the inside was very quiet.Honestly, we were in the park most of the time so we didn't use the cabin very much other than to sleep and warm up some breakfast. The little kitchen worked well for that. I didn't even see any other people during our two nights.Bed is comfortable, room temp easy to adjust with remote near front door. Good hot water. Sofa in living room was really nice for some work I had to do on my laptop. Good internet. If I forced myself to find anything to gripe about, it would be the small bathroom. Shower is tiny (like 2'x2') for a guy like me. But that's just the nature of a little cabin like this and smaller people should be fine.If you're headed to Mt. Rainier, it's about a 15min drive to the entrance. Get there before 7am and you don't have to stop at all. It's about an hour's drive total to Paradise and Longmire, but there are a lot of places before that with good trails and views, too. Sunrise area still closed in June.Summary: wonderful little cabin in a quiet, wooded area, close to food and the southeast entrance to Rainier. Wish we'd had a few more days here during our trip!
