Cabin vacation rentals in Alder Lake

Communication was amazing. The host did a fantastic job answering my questions about the local area, the home, and other things we could do while we stayed by Mount Rainier. The cabin itself was so cute, peaceful, welcoming, and was the perfect spot for a getaway and to call home after long days of hiking. The basket of snacks, pancake mix, coffee & firewood was so nice and enjoyed by us. We highly recommend Billie and this property, and definitely see ourselves returning in the future!

I hesitate to reveal how great Carl's place is because I don't want it to become so popular that it becomes hard for me to book. The setting is spectacular. If you like to cook, the kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans everything you need. There are also basic staples that renters can use. If you don't like to cook, a lakeside restaurant is a short walk from Carl's. The restaurant is currently open Wed- Sun. We went on a couple of short hikes that were close by. Millersylvania Park is about a 15 min. drive. We also enjoyed seeing the Monarch Butterfly Sculpture Garden. Lots of outdoor art and a fun area for kids (or adults) to play in. I had some questions for Carl and he always responded quickly and clearly. Carl and Sue make available everything that the renter might forget to bring: Toothbrushes, Q-tips, shampoo, etc. Did I mention the jar of chocolates? We are not fishing enthusiasts, but it looks like that could be fun. Carl also has kayaks & life vests.

This was such a lovely place to spend our honeymoon. Surrounded by nature in every direction, waking up to birds chirping and a beautiful lake view. There were so many small details, from extra toothbrushes and a blow dryer in the bathroom to twinkle lights on the patio for a romantic evening outside. Jordyn was so responsive and helpful! Thanks for a great stay.

Very cute & creative layout! They really have thought of it all! Loved kayaking with the fam! Made for some really great pictures! We had a great time!

We enjoyed our stay in this cozy cabin with a gorgeous view. Beds and sheets were very comfortable, lots of nice new towels. Kitchen had necessities. It was great having a grill right off the kitchen. The pictures made the home look a little bigger but it was nonetheless a good amount of space for 5-6 people. We appreciated being able to bring the dogs and there were pet towels and a dog feeding mat already there. Kathy was great to communicate with and provided all the information we needed.

A stunning location with beautiful windows and an expansive deck to take it all in. We enjoyed the views from the hot tub, and lingering over meals. The beds were cozy and everything was clean and well appointed. Each room having it's own bathroom was a nice bonus. Such a sweet spot I would certainly return.

Perfect location for us. Awesome start to our vacation. Rainier within close proximity. All the amenities we could have asked for and then some. Sauna was a welcome relaxation escape after a long day in the park. All the wildlife we saw while in the area was right in backyard. We’d strongly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Hands down one of the best places we’ve been to. We were 4 people with dogs. They had 2 crates in the living room and a outdoor bed in the backyard ready for us, plus the toys & treats for furry babies! The backyard was fully fenced and had chairs around the bonfire. We were lucky to use the kayaks on the beautiful weather. The place was exactly as described and as pictures, everything was clean and the bed was comfy too. Nothing to complain! The host responded so quickly every time and I could tell that they really care about their guests, by the communication and the amenities they prepared in their place. We look forward to coming back here for another great and peaceful gateaway. Thanks so much again! 🩷

Cute spot, will be looking them up on our next visit.

The view here is absolutely phenomenal! We anticipated it being beautiful; however, you can’t even imagine until you walk into the home. Every glance, you will be in complete awe. The hot tub on the deck is obviously a wonderful feature, but every person in the house seemed to equally like the shower. We left researching how to redo our shower at home, ha! We already ordered the same bathroom towels. Absolute heavenly linens in our opinion. The shore is a short walk from the house. My son loved walking down & was ecstatic when he found several whole seashells on the beach. A few things we did not utilize; however, took notice of: The fully stocked kitchen, the thought that the hosts put into making it a place for families to enjoy, IE: high chairs, mini blinds tied up high, toys, family friendly movies, ect. And several heaters & fans to accommodate various household temps. It was also very clean for being pet friendly which is hard to find. We would definitely stay again.

It was good place to chill out with bunch of friends

Incredible, cozy space. The wood stove was a nice touch and kept it warm with a nice atmosphere. My husband and I had our 8 and 5 year olds with us and they really enjoyed the property. There were tons of activities for them and they didn’t want to leave. The property is within minutes of Mt. Rainier National Park, it’s quick and easy to get back and rest after a long day of hiking and exploring. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept like babies. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

My mom and I had a very relaxing time at this cabin. We loved it from the moment we came in! It’s cozy, clean and I love the overall location, as it’s very close to mountain Rainier, and not far from a town where you can buy groceries, etc.. The jacuzzi was a big plus. The Host has rules that we all as guests should follow to have a more pleasant experience, please follow those rules…. The toilet was a unique experience but it works… Overall we enjoyed this beautiful place..

We absolutely loved our stay at Nisqually Nest! We had everything we needed and then some! We especially loved the sauna and hot tub after hiking Mt Rainier. Kent and Kari were such friendly and responsive hosts and even arranged some hot tub entertainment for us with a mama robin feeding her babies. Above and beyond ... haha! We are already planning a trip back and hope to get to stay here again.

Beautiful home in the lab of Mt Rainier. House was as described, beautiful, and clean inside and out. Very responsive host, helped us with any of our questions. Location was perfect, 6 mins to the entrace gate, nice couple of restaurants and grocery stores around. Very peaceful. Enjoyed the Hot Tub after the skyline trail at home. It was just perfect

Great place with everything you need. Town has all amenities you would need. Beds were comfortable- not the most toddler friendly place (although most places aren’t built for that anyhow). Only issue was intermittent power outages which are expected in isolated mountain towns- not the hosts fault but when you buy food to cook and plan to sit in hot tub, it makes a difference. Next time will come more prepared to use bbq instead. Overall, would recommend

Great place to stay in when in Ashford! I rented few cabins there already and this one was my favorite. So well equipped with everything you may need. It was clean and comfy.

Magical cabin in the mountains. The place had everything we were seeking in the mountain retreat. It’s very private, with a very big lot and no neighbors (in sight). Tranquil, surrounded by mature trees, with a river running down below. You can hear it from the property. It was lovely to hear it at night. Loved the old charm of the cabin, old photos with stories of the place. At the same time has all modern conveniences and everything you might need. Very cozy. Everything was squeaky clean, especially bathroom and bedroom. Slept like a baby, listening to the sounds of the river down below. The hot tub super clean and placed in a lovely spot near the blooming cherry tree (it was May). The views of the mountains from the balcony were mesmerizing. Super responsive host, and great local recommendations. We definitely made sweet, special memories there. Would love to return. Highly recommend this place!

Nice, quiet get away. Great location- quick to town and outdoor activities. Everything you need.

Great home in a great location! So close to town but also tucked away in a quiet neighborhood and so close to the river! Renai was very helpful with local recommendations and was very responsive! Would definitely stay here again.

The cabin was a wonderful retreat for a long weekend in Packwood with our teenage son and nephew — we only planned for 3 but had plenty of room for 4 people. We grilled and made a campfire both evenings and relaxed among beautiful and wooded surroundings. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious with a great shower. The two boys crashed on the pullout sofa. The kitchen was well appointed with everything needed and there were thoughtful things included throughout the house, like the small laminated sign in the pullout couch that signals to the cleaning person that it’s been used. I’ve never seen that, but it’s such a simple thing to do to communicate and offer peace of mind that everything is clean and tidy. Great detail! The best feature of this cabin are the double doors that open up to the wrap around porch, grilling station and backyard campfire area to create a true indoor-outdoor living experience. Perfect for warm PNW nights. I would love to return this cabin!

We loved this cabin! The 70s style was wonderful and the view from the porch was fantastic. The bed was very comfortable, and the whole place was clean, neat, and cosy. It's a very peaceful, serene spot to relax.

We absolutely loved our stay at this adorable beach cabin! The place was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully decorated with charming coastal touches that made it feel like a true getaway. We loved being just steps away from the beach. The cabin had everything we needed—comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen, and a peaceful outdoor space that was perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The host was kind, responsive, and provided great local recommendations. If you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet, and scenic place to unwind, this beach cabin is a gem. Our dogs love it and we can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful stay! my family and I enjoyed ourselves. packwood is a wonderful town and had an awesome flea market that was huge.
