Nanook's Retreat- Pet & Kid Friendly Rustic Cabin w/ AC and WIFI

We are so glad to potentially be hosting you at Nanook's Retreat! We strive for all of our guests to have the best possible experience while visiting the cabin and the surrounding area of Packwood, White Pass/Mt. Rainier.
THINGS TO KNOW:
There is no oven in the cabin. There is a stovetop inside and on the gas grill, a microwave, instantpot, and a toaster oven for cooking. The provided fridge is a mini fridge, please be prepared to use a cooler if you require more space. The main cabin has an AC unit in the bed nook, the detached bedroom does not have AC.
We have a security camera mounted to the top of the stairs facing out. You'll be recorded as you come and go. If you're uncomfortable with this, please get in touch before your booking so that we can make an alternative arrangement.
We do not offer free stays in exchange for social media posts or photos. We appreciate your interest, but the volume of requests is overwhelming.
Check-in time is 4:00 PM. Check-out time is 11:00 AM.

Tenant is expected to complete basic check-out procedures listed in the “Nanook's Retreat Welcome Book” located in the cabin upon your departure.
Nanook's Retreat does provide limited firewood (when available). If you wish to use the wood stove or burn a campfire and there is no wood on site, you can purchase bundles of wood at Blanton's Supermarket. If you wish to use the propane firepit during a burn ban or on the porch please either bring propane(regular 5 gallon) or plan to refill the provided tank. A regular 5 gallon propane tank will last about one long evening of firepit use, you may refill it at the Chevron or 76 gas stations for about $2.50/gallon. Please DO NOT cook anything other than marshmallows over the propane pit or throw trash in to it. Items that fall into the pit will not burn off and will stay inside it requiring it to either be cleaned or replaced.
There is RV Space and hookups available for use during your stay for an additional fee on the property. This must be requested and the fee paid 24 hours previous to your arrival.
Being located in High Valley Park’s HOA means that our guests have the option to use the High Valley Country Club’s outdoor pool or golf course. You must contact us 24 hours prior to wanting to use these facilities in order for permissions to be granted for you as our guest, no late requests can be honored. The fees which will be paid directly to the country club are $10/guest per day for the pool and $20/guest per day for the golf course.
Additional blankets are with each bed and the sofabed extra bedding is under the chaise part of the sofa.
Outdoor Area-
The front deck has ample seating that can be used both on the porch and below at the wood fire pit. The propane fire pit on the deck is available for your use but you are responsible for providing the propane. Please feel free to use the gas grill as well, do not remove the propane from the gas grill to use for the propane fire pit. You may sit on the large deck storage bins as well. There is a trail through the backyard, feel free to check it out at any point.
Indoor Area-
The off deck bedroom has a TV, a emulator game system, some coloring books and crayons, some board games, deck of cards, dice, and a baby monitor. Under the Double bed is the wire dog kennel, dog bed, and plastic tote containing dog supplies for those traveling with pets.
The main cabin kitchen comes with a stove top, microwave, toaster oven, coffeemaker, instantpot, blender, mini-fridge, utensils, dishes, and various other items needed for cooking. If you need to know if a specific item is supplied please do not hesitate to ask.
The bathroom has a stand up shower stall, full washer & dryer, sink, and toilet. Please let the washing machine open after you are done using it. This helps prevent any mildew in a front loaded machine. There are a few toiletries provided should you forget any of your own. The first aid kit is under the bathroom sink. The broom and mop, should you need them, are located in the bathroom as well.
The main living area of the cabin has a TV with a smart DVD player so you can log into your favorite streaming services; a wood stove that can be used when a burn ban is not in place; a convertible couch that turns in to a queen sized bed (the bedding is under the lift-able chaise and the backrest cushions zip off for more space if needed), an electric recliner; TV trays for additional table space; a dining table; Bluetooth rechargeable speaker; and a coat/shoe rack with towels for use on the floor and animals.
The bedroom nook containing the queen bed has some closet storage and a hiking backpack for tenants use during their stay.
There is a nightlight/USB/universal charger combo plugged in in both the main a cabin and additional bedroom for tenants use.

The only section of the property off limits is the under the home locked storage and locked bins on the deck. Please feel to explore all unlocked cabinets, underneath of beds, and the yard.

We want “You” and each of our guests to be confident in knowing that all of us here at Nanook's Retreat are  attempting to do our part in helping our guests and cabin staff to stay as safe and as healthy as we possibly can!  The cabin staff has diligently been cleaning and disinfecting the cabin, and cabin grounds.  If anyone on staff is either running a temperature or feeling sick, we do not come to the cabin, we stay home to avoid potentially getting each other sick as well as our guests!

Great little getaway
While the weather wasnt what was hoped for this cute little cabin made it worth while for our first trip to Packwood. Clean, cozy, had all the amenities we needed and we slept amazing on the comfy bed. The neighborhood made for great morning and evening walks with the pup (thank you for the pet extras). The deck (even in the rain) was just what was needed for coffee and evening cocktail listening to the rain, cozied up under the little covered area. We will be back!

Family reunion with 4 states and 2 cabins. Ages from 86 to 23.
Excellent cabin for remote stay. Nothing fancy but perfectly adequate. I don't remember if ad narrative states this, but steps MUST be climbed. My back and leg barely tolerated, so was in pain

Quaint Hideaway
The air conditioning and fans were wonderful during the heatwave! The Queen bed was very comfortable and our older daughter enjoyed having her own space on the 2nd bedroom. The little cabin had everything we needed and was close enough to easily explore Mt Rainier National Park.

A week under Rainier
My husband and I spent a wonderful and relaxing week at Nanook’s Retreat, we hiked different locations within MRNP and had the BEST time doing so. I would recommend this cabin ten-fold, it was so relaxing and comfortable, this was truly a vacation to remember; and everything was as described - if not better.

Sleepless
this cabin would be best suited for the younger crowd. There are several steps to negotiate and we are booth into our seventies. A strong suggestion would be to rent in the summer or winter (snowy) season.We stayed during the first rain of the season and listened to the rain on the roof dripping from the trees all night.Did not sleep well. Because of the rain we were unable to use the porch or barbecue. This is a fine cabin to stay in but plan for the sunny season

Amazing location.
This location was perfect! It was tucked away, lots of privacy, clean, cozy and pretty private. The town of Packwood is charming and this location made it very easy to get to. We loved our stay and the trip to Rainer was awesome. Rachel was amazing at communicating with me! We had zero issues with our stay. Highly recommended!
