Rainier Retreat close to White Pass

Beautiful, spacious, light filled home in a private peaceful setting with no close by neighbors, and still within close proximity to year round activities. The backyard backs up to national forest with a huge trail network and trails right from the yard that can take you to a great waterfall, and out the front is a 5 minute walk to community pool and golf course. Mt Rainier 14 miles, White pass skiing 20 miles, and national forest trails, and gorgeous Cowlitz river all right there.
The space
Our home is sitting on over half an acre and surrounded by beautiful trees and forest for ultimate peace and privacy.
In the backyard, there’s a great fire pit, and trails that go right from the backyard all through the national forest leading you to a waterfall - just a 5 minute hike behind the cabin. There is a great system of trails right from the back yard to hike, cross country ski or snowshoe.

When you walk inside the house, you will notice all the light in the high-vaulted ceilings in the living room. There’s a big new wood stove with lots of firewood and kindling for a cozy fire after skiing. The fireplace is surrounded by U shaped sectional couch, large enough for the whole family, and breakfast bar and a spacious kitchen that’s equipped with everything you could possibly need to cook up a storm. Since we are coffee lovers, you can expect to find all the essentials, A pour- over, milk froth, coffee pot and hot water kettle for tea as well as an assortment of teas and coffee.

Our home is a short drive to the East Entrance of Mt. Rainier National Park where you will find amazing vistas, a trail to the "Grove of the Patriarch's - a scenic 1.5 mile loop a through towering thousand year old cedars that will take you across a beautiful suspension bridge. Continuing up the Mountain to Paradise or Sunrise you will be treated to awesome views in 360 degrees of snow capped mountains, glaciers, and prolific wildflowers.

You may see elk in our back yard or in the forest behind your bedroom.
