Wonderful Little Cabin

This cabin was perfect for our White Pass Ski trip! There were enough beds for all 4 of our kids, which means they didn't have to share! That's a major score! It was a cozy place to relax after a long day of skiing. One evening we went into Packwood and enjoyed live music at the brewery, only 3 miles from the cabin. This was a great place to stay!

Cozy Charming Chalet

Very cute, neat and super functional property. We actually cooked and ate all our meals in the well equipped kitchen. Decorated with taste for our Christmas stay. Bedrooms are small but bedding is very comfortable.

Great!

Very clean, accommodating, and fun! Has essentials like laundry detergent and dish soap, etc. We also really liked the Packwood Brewing Company (with the airstream ice cream) and the Mountain Goat Coffee which were very close!

This is the cutest set up. Right from the cleanliness to the special touch of the roasting sticks and supplies for s'mores to the well stocked wood burning fire stove. All perfect!

Piece of paradise in Packwood

I just moved back to the PNW and took my family on a ski trip to White Pass ski resort. We stayed at this wonderful cabin in the woods. The house had everything we wanted and super clean. I would rent this house a million times!!!!
