This hotel was fantastic! It feels more like a bed and breakfast than a traditional hotel, as our room was one of three in what feels like an old farmhouse with a shared living room, dining room, kitchen, and huge front porch. There is also a separate building with several more rooms, though guests in those rooms do not have access to the shared spaces within the main house – this is only available to the 3 rooms actually in the main house. and the owners live onsite in a trailer. Each day, the owners left provisions for the morning’s breakfast (granola, yogurt, milk, bagels, juice) and readied the coffee machine so that we could eat on our own timeline. They also left smore provisions in the dining room, should you want to make smores by the property’s firepit. The property itself is located just outside of town, giving it a secluded “in the middle of nature” feel, while still being very close to everything. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching the deer in the forested yard and reading from the selection of books housed in the shared living room. The owners also provide a helpful guide about Mount Rainier National Park, with maps and details about all of the available hikes. We stayed in the Tao suite, which is entered from the living room. It is thus separated from the other two rooms, which are both accessed from a hallway off the dining room. It felt very private! Upon entering the Tao suite, you find yourself in a private hallway, from which you can access both the bedroom and bathroom. Our room was nicely furnished, cozy feeling, and spacious, with a couch, desk, comfortable bed, full-length mirror, and windows on 3 sides. I liked that there was separate heating and AC we could control both within the bedroom and the bathroom (which was also spacious). One thing I didn’t love, however, is that the door to this private hallway off the living room did not have a key lock on it that we could lock while we were gone, and only had a latch that you could pull across from the inside (no deadbolt). Meanwhile, the door to the bedroom and the bathroom DID have actual key locks, so rather than just locking the door to the entire suite you had to lock both the bathroom and bedroom doors. We didn’t want to lock ourselves in the bedroom or out of the bathroom while we were sleeping, so we were relying on the hallway door’s latch. With that said, the area is very safe, and the owners ask that the front door to the house be kept locked, so we were never concerned for our safety or belongings while we were sleeping.
