Great Family Getaway
The descriptions are spot on. The house was actually more spacious than I thought. The amenities were perfect. The kitchen is well stocked and we had all the tools we needed. The beds were comfortable. The hot tub was exactly what we needed and no chlorine smell was a plus. Thank you for a very comfortable stay. Definitely one of the best stays I’ve had with a vacation rental.

Beautiful cabin in the best location
We had the best time during our stay! The house is beautiful and PERFECTLY located literally a minute from the Nisqually entrance. It’s well equipped with everything you need- kitchen supplies, bedding, even sticks for s’mores by the bonfire. The host is super responsive and we loved the contactless check in /check out process. We had the best stay.

Mt Ranier Awesomeness!
I can’t say enough good things about this beautiful home! It is everything described and so much more! The host is super helpful and communicative. The home is gorgeous and has plenty of space, from the rooms to the large kitchen and dining room table! We used it as our “home base” since it is right by the entrance to Mt Ranier. The salt water hot tub was perfect after hiking in the snow and rain. This has become my new favorite national park and I would only want to stay at this amazing home!

Doorstep of Mt. Rainier National Park
What a nice place! It was right outside the Nisqually Entrance to Mt. Rainier so it was easy to get to the hiking trails early. The house had a nice layout with enough room for everyone. The hot tub was appreciated after a long day hiking. We would stay here again if we are in the area!

Great spot
Awesome experience overall. The owners where very communicative and had all the information we needed before we even got to the home. The location is awesome and is less then a mile from the park. I would come here again if we came back to Rainer. The house rules where also very easy to follow.

Beautiful and fun
Truly beautiful cabin just outside the gate of Mt Rainier. The cabin was fully stocked with everything you need. My whole family, who were visiting from abroad, enjoyed it so much. Make sure you make smores at the fire pit. The kids loved it.

Amazing property and stay!
Christy’s cabin was the hub of our elopement and it was absolutely perfect! The cabin was very clean, had the essentials we needed for the week and we loved the outdoor area with picnic tables, firepit and hottub! Christy had great communication from the start! There was plenty of parking and the proximity to the park entrance doesn’t get much better! The bed and sheets were super comfortable! Thank you for sharing your space Christy! We had an amazing stay!

Fantastic spacious location
The host Christy was great at communicating and happy to accomdate the fluctuation in people as our group changed. The bunkhouse was perfect for a mix of our group's interests, from walking to the river, evening s'mores, enjoying the land and expeditions to camp muir. All levels and all ages had a wondeful time! All the beds and futons were very comfortable, the only wish is that they had more bathrooms for a group of our size- otherwise perfect!

Great place to stay
The cabin is in a very nice condition and very closed to the park entrance. In the morning I took a stroll along the Nisqually river which was awesome. We loved the open area where everyone can get together, reading and playing the board game. My daughter loved the bunk beds and wanted to remember it forever. The hot tub is great though the water temperature was cooler on the 2nd night for some reason.

Great location for exploring
This was a great location and property for homebase to Mt. Rainer National Park. Basics in terms of linens and furnishings. Well stocked kitchen but zero soap, or any bath products other than hand soap which we weren't expecting when in this pricepoint for a VRBO so were caught off guard. Overall great spacious property and logistically ideal for park entrance and easy check in and communication.

Dream home
I went to the Buchanans home for a get away weekend with a group of friends and it was amazing! The house is beautiful and clean; the kitchen is fully equipped! We felt like in a a Disney movie, it was so beautiful. Plus, the National Park is a block away which was great for a morning hike. I felt in love with the place, and Christy and her dad were vey nice and always responded my emails.

Great Place to stay
We've stayed here a few times. It's well equipped (kitchen, toys, etc.) and clean. Quiet neighbourhood. There are some minor things (the gas fireplace thermostat works fine but is a little tricky to learn; some of the light switches are in strange places). Nothing that should keep anyone from staying here. We wouldn't hesitate to go back again.

We loved it!
My family stayed here for a spring break getaway, and my 4 small kids (ages 2-7), husband, sister and I all loved it. It was clean, spacious, excellent location, well-stocked, and comfortable. The restaurant-style wooden high chair and the tub of magnetics were nice surprises, and the gas potbelly stove kept the house toasty in the cool mornings (and we appreciated the gate around it for safety). The hot tub was very relaxing and we used it daily, and my kids loved all the space to run around outside. We all loved the short walk to the river to play, or just walking around the nice quiet neighborhood, and it was so convenient to have such a short drive into the park. It was also only a few minutes to Copper Creek where we were able to eat out one night. Would recommend anyone to stay here, and would stay again!
