When the sun starts to go down in the forest trails of Rainier and on the slopes of White Pass, make sure that you and your friends and family have the perfect place to retire to: Mount Rainier Retreat. ABOUT MOUNT RAINIER RETREAT Just over the Cowlitz River from Packwood, in the forests of the High Valley neighborhood, is Mount Rainier Retreat. This adorable cabin was built explicitly to cater to the needs of the modern explorers who frequently venture into Mount Rainier National Park and the surrounding wilderness. Whether you're a skier or snowboarder, a hiker, a fisher or a climber, the front hall is wide and tiled, so any outdoorsman, no matter how extreme, can shuck off and hang their gear without worrying too much about a mess. From there, the weary sportsmen in your party can move into the open yet cozy (and of course, heated) living room, where comfortable furniture awaits, as well as a beautifully equipped modern kitchen. MORE ABOUT MOUNT RAINIER RETREAT The kitchen also boasts a four seater breakfast bar, or as is so often the case, a place for the less culinarily inclined members of your group to watch and await a proper meal. Behind the kitchen is a charming dining nook, just perfect for a quick bite or for playing a round of cards or board game with the family. Should the Roku-equipped flat screen TV not provide enough after dinner entertainment, the house also offers a firepit in the front from which to comfortably enjoy the quiet nights and evenings the Packwood area is known for, either with a book, some s'mores, or just by looking up at the starry night sky through the pines. The newly improved backyard now offers guests a large gas grill, a six person outdor dining set, a copper fire pit, and most importantly, a hot tub! Truly the best way to get warm and relax on a cold winter's night in Packwood!
