Cute Mt Rainier loft

Cute little loft above a barn that was well equipped and super close to Mt Rainier Park. Enjoyed hiking during the day and enjoyed soaking in the covered hot tub afterwards. Would definitely recommend for a couple.

Ideal spot for Rainier Park Access

My husband and I enjoyed our 3 night stay in the Owl's Nest for our anniversary get away. It's ideally located for access to Rainier, especially in the winter months when other gates are closed. The spot is modest, but accurate with listing details. We were a bit concerned about privacy since you can tell the listing is above another space, but it is just an empty barn/garage, so that's ended up being no concern. There are two other listings on property that weren't inhabited during our stay, but could be during a busier season I'd guess. The hot tub was really next level, with a covering to allow use in all seasons and weather, and inclusion of luxurious bath robes made the quick jaunt down the stairs to its outdoor location a breeze. There are a few quirks, certainly; i.e. no central heat, only wall heaters which work really well in the bedroom area but less so in the kitchen/bathroom, which is separated by doors which do shut to keep the bedroom warm air circulating. But overall, if you're looking for a location close to Rainier to access all it has to offer, I would recommend this property many times over!

This was the first time we experienced staying in a cabin. It was by far more than what we expected. The cabin was clean and we loved that it felt like a home away from home. We will definitely consider visiting again. Thank you!

Charming house in a great location

We had some issues on our first night. The shower was clogged by a clump of hair that we removed. The back door could not be closed and the microwave was broken. I called Kerstin and the next day she sent someone to fix the door and gave us a new microwave. I appreciated the promptness since we were staying for a week. Not having a microwave for a week would not be convenient. I am fond of old houses. They have their characters and charm. This house has plenty of that. The kitchen had pots and pans, utensils, spices, plates… etc that were enough for all three of us. The bathroom was spacious, and clean, had hot water and good water pressure. The main bed was comfortable with enough pillows and warm blankets. Unfortunately, the sofa bed was not so great. The support on the head side was flimsy and it slanted down. The location was great, just 4 miles to the entrance. There was a small grocery store nearby but we did our grocery shopping at Seattle. The internet was spotty, sometimes it was just crawling but Kerstin told me that was because of the remote location and that was the fastest speed available. The TV came with Netflix and Disney programs which were awesome when the internet had enough speed and stopped buffering. FYI this property is managed by Evolve, so the instructions for check-ins/outs or emails are not through VRBO. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. After long days of hiking on Mount Rainier, we enjoyed having to stay in this house.

Cozy home away from home

We'd enjoyed our stay at the Owl's Nest very much--it was very clean and cozy, the location was perfect for going to Rainier. The full kitchen was very convenient for preparing meals before and after hikes. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely book this place again when we return to visit Rainier again.

Highly recommend this vacation rental.

The unit is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The kitchen was great for cooking meals. There is a private hot tub. The numerous windows provide light and nice views of the property. The decor is nice. The location is a short drive to Rainier National Park. This unit does have a steep staircase access. The keypad entry is very convenient. We enjoyed our stay very much.
