I canât express how much I loved this place. It was perfect for my and my wife and daughterâs taste. I told my wife that I could spend an entire week there without even wanting to leave. It was so comfortable and relaxing. Lying in bed being able to look up at the old growth trees that provide a canopy over the cabin provides a serenity that I canât explain. Inside and out it is the perfect property. In addition, its proximity to two entrances of Mt. Rainier just adds to the appeal of the Little Owl Cabin. I would highly recommend it for anyone who appreciates the outdoors and is looking to explore Mt. Rainier NP and the surrounding area.
Is there a more picturesque place? We had wanted to stay in an A-frame cabin for our whole lives. This one had everything you could want. Lovely lighting, overflowing rustic charm, and curated surroundings that still felt natural. The bed was memory foam upstairs and was comfy and cozy. Lots of little things to enjoy and peruse inside the cabin, and everything was placed with purpose.
The cosiest cabin in the woods to explore Mt Rainier
This cabin is the most idyllic A-frame in the woods, sometimes it just doesn't look real. The inside has been decorated in a cool rustic mountain style, so much that it feels like an actual home. The attention to detail is great. Itâs also one of the most spacious A-frames weâve ever stayed in, using the space to maximum effect. The kitchen is a decent size, and is well stocked. The beds are comfy, and thereâs room for two people to unpack their stuff in the extra bedroom downstairs. The half bathroom upstairs was also much appreciated in the night. As someone who has stayed in a lot of hotels and rentals, Iâm also pleased to say there were finally enough hooks! Relaxing in the hot tub or sitting by the fire amongst the trees after a long day hiking in the beautiful surrounding wilderness and National Park, was the best way to end the day. Note there are two cabins visible from the front yard, but these were second homes so werenât occupied during our stay. The back deck is completely private. We had a fabulous time here and canât recommend this place enough.
Little Owl is located in a gorgeous setting convenient to Rainier sites. We loved the babbling creek behind the property and the national forest views were breathtaking - a very special place! The cedar hot tub was a nice and welcome touch for soaking after long hikes. The steep ladder to the sleeping loft was no joke but worth the effort to stay here. We would definitely stay again!
Overall, this property is very charming, well maintained, and has a good number of amenities. We enjoyed our time here. Although the neighbors are very close, they have done a spectacular job setting up the cabin so that you feel very secluded and have privacy from all parts of the house.
For me, the only cons were the number of rules associated with the stay and the comfort of the beds. After booking we received a link with lots of helpful information but also with quite a number of rules. Although it was just myself and my husband and we had plans for a quiet stay, the number of rules made me anxious about doing something wrong or missing something during our stay. The beds were also extremely hard. It was a rough night of sleep and for that I was grateful we were only there one night. If we were to stay again I would definitely bring some kind of pad to place on top of the mattress.
We wanted a relaxing place to stay close to Mount Rainer & we got it! The cozy A-frame cabin was the perfect place to stay. The Little Owl Cabin nestled up against the Pinchot Forest was breathtaking beautiful. The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The decor was unique and cozy and was the perfect place to fall deep into nature. The sound of the stream in the backyard from the cedar soaking hot tub was the perfect way to end our days after hiking. Our family had the best stay. Can't wait to come back!
