Great stay!
Loved the location close to Rainier. Comfortable cottage, plenty of room for 2, enjoyed the hot tub. Not a ton for restaurants closeby. Went to a couple, but suggest bringing some groceriea or going to Eatonville for more selection.

Perfect spot for family getaway
A cozy and comfortable getaway that's a short drive to Mount Rainier National Park. Close to nearby groceries and a couple of restaurants. Hot tub is nice, so is the bathroom. Very peaceful property, we'll consider staying here again if we're back up in the NW...

Quiet and Cozy Cabin at Mount Rainier
We loved our stay at the Elk Hideaway for so many reasons! It was super easy to find and the instructions on how to get into the house made it simple after a long day of driving and getting there long after dark. The cabin is just a few miles outside of the Ashford Entrance to Mount Rainier so we didn't have to stress about getting up early to make it to the park before it got crowded and everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay was provided for us. The host has really thought of everything and it made our stay spectacular! A big thank you to the host for having some water bottles available and some tick spray as well! We would definitely stay here again and will be recommending this location to all our family and friends for their visits to the area.

Cozy Cabin near Mt. Rainier
A perfect little cabin with knotty pine interior, french doors, gas fireplace, and a hot tub. It is a lot of amenities without feeling cramped. Perfect for 2 people to cozy up before exploring nearby Mt Rainier. During winter bring good books, movies and favorite snacks. The kitchen has most equipment you need.

Anniversary Trip
This house is so cute and cozy and feels like a home away from home. This was the second time we have stayed at this property for our anniversary and plan to continue booking here for anniversaries to come. We very much enjoyed the hot tub and the jacuzzi tub, very relaxing. They do a very good job at the upkeep of the property and provide little extras that make the experience/vacation even better. Cant wait to come back next year!

Private cabin —Elk Hideaway
One of the Best places we have stayed IN THE WORLD. Spacious one bedroom. Beautifully remodeled. Vaulted ceiling in every room. Feels like home as soon as you enter. Awesome private hot tub on enclosed deck. Owner thought of everything including laundry. Perfect location for hiking Mount Rainier and area. Owner easy to reach. Loved it

We liked the quaint and comfortable atmosphere of the cottage. Very clean and had all the essential comforts along with WiFi. Although there were guests in two neighboring cottages on the property, we never heard them. Not much to dislike. The French doors to the bedroom needed adjustment, but that was a minor thing.

Would absolutely visit again!
This was a perfect place to stay for our 20th Anniversary getaway! The table was large enough for puzzles and board games. The hot tub is very private and easy to set at the desired temperature - something I no longer take for granted at rentals. The whole place was just the right size for us, and felt light and airy. The kitchen was well-stocked, letting us cook several meals easily. (Do make sure that you only drink and cook with water from the filtered tap, as indicated.) Location: Even though other units are on the property, we always had great privacy. We really loved that we were only minutes from Mt Rainier National Park - no long drive after a day of hiking. We also recommend the nearby Ukrainian restaurant - they had really delicious food, especially the Borsch and the Galushki!Overall this rental was fantastic, and we would absolutely visit again!

Wonderful Cottage in Winter
This cottage was just wonderful for our 10-day snowy winter stay. Electric heat, gas fireplace, and hot tub on the deck, all stayed toasty during our stay. Local power was out for 4 hours one day due to downed line during a windy snow storm, but the cottage generator kicked on seamlessly and everything worked great. The driveway was plowed for us too! The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed and then some for our long stay. At the Ashford town park, there is a really nice 1-mile nature trail for walking or snow shoeing. We also discovered there are miles of trails nearby for cross-country skiing, snow shoeing or hiking that are groomed & maintained by the Tahoma Trail association. We found more trails at Longmire in the Rainier Nat'l Park. We had hoped to get up to Paradise in the snow but the road there was closed due to fallen trees. So...we have reason to return! We would definitely stay in this cozy cottage again. It is in a great location for outdoor activities any time of year!

We truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage in the woods. Furniture/bed comfy, kitchen had everything we needed. Bathroom very spacious! Hot tub at the end of the day after hiking the Skyline trail was heaven. Access to laundry was an extra perk much appreciated. We recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the awesome Mt Ranier

Truly a lovely experience from beginning to end of our stay. Easy entry- super clean and spacious- had all that we needed and was even better than the photos! Helpful Elk Hideaway binder with info about local restaurants and trails was appreciated. The hot tub was clean and very private.Would highly recommend if visiting Mt. Rainier -just a few miles to Nisqually entrance.

Everything you need!
I had an amazing stay at the Elk Hideaway! The property is well clean and quaint and the check-in process was a piece of cake. I was beyond grateful that there were so many items that the hosts have thoughtfully made available to their guests - from shampoo/conditioner, to bottled water, and coffee pods and creamers! To top it’s only a 5 minute drive from the Mount Rainier entrance which made my early morning hikes far more convenient. I know where I’ll be staying anytime I visit Mount Rainier!

Clean, comfortable, & cute
It was such a relief to arrive in Ashford, after traveling from the east coast, and walk into Elk Hideaway, greeted with a lovely scent and super clean space. The cottage was the perfect size for two people, and we appreciated the extras available (shampoo, bath robes, coffee with real creamer, etc). The hot tub was amazing after long hikes in the park and was in a private location. I have stayed in Ritz Carlton rooms that weren’t as sparking clean as the Elk Hideaway. I am so glad we booked this stay. 10/10 would recommend!
