Elk Meadow Chalet - Premier Ski Vacation Home - 20 minutes to Crystal Mountain

Upscale mountain home on a private, forested 1 acre within Crystal River Ranch in Greenwater, WA. 20 minutes to Crystal Mountain Resort.

Guests love the privacy of the chalet tucked away at the end of the lane with a fenced in yard. Large open concept space allows family and friends to be together tuning into the big sporting event on the 75" TV or stream a movie while others meal prep or dine. New gas fireplace keeps the house nice and cozy. Kids can opt in or out in the upstairs bunk room with charging stations for everyone, a 55" smart TV, and many games and puzzles.

High quality mattress', pillows and bedding combined with the tranquality of the forest make for a great night sleep. Upstairs is the Yosemite loft with 4 twin beds, ensuite bath and new 55" TV. Perfect kid space or group of single adults. Shed is provided to store outdoor equipment and lots of room for your skis and boards especially if you are bringing multiple sets.

Cozy, Peaceful Getaway – Perfect for a Mt. Rainier Visit!
We had an incredible stay at this charming cabin near Enumclaw while visiting Mount Rainier. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful and secluded atmosphere, yet close enough to town for easy access to restaurants and supplies. The cabin itself was well-appointed with all the comforts of home, including a cozy fireplace and a hot tub, which was ideal for unwinding after a long day of hiking. The large windows offered breathtaking views of the surrounding forest, making it feel like we were truly immersed in nature. We especially loved sitting out on the deck with our morning coffee, taking in the crisp mountain air and while enjoying nature. The property was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you’re looking for a relaxing retreat with easy access to Mount Rainier, I highly recommend this spot. It exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to come back!

Amazing property, perfect for a group
This is an excellently-equipped property. Well-managed and the amenities were exactly as described. Plenty of space for a group of people and the backyard is perfect for relaxing: fire table and hot tub; what more could you ask for? We would definitely recommend this spot for anyone wishing to spend a few days in Greenwater.

Great, cozy cabin
My family really enjoyed our stay at Karen's cabin. It was enough space for all 8 of us, every bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to make family meals together! The location was a cherry on top with great walks along the river, a short drive to some great waterfalls, and close to Crystal ski resort. Karen was a great host, checking in on us, and offering some great local hike recommendations. We hope to return in the future.

Perfect Ski Getaway -easy distance to Crystal
We stayed for 3 days, and it was perfect for us. Fit our family of 5 easily (3 kids, 21, 19, and 15; could have brought friends). Family loved the floor plan. Place was well stocked and just as listed. We hot tubbed after skiing each night, and sat by the fire before and after dinner. The fireplace really does heat up the house nicely. It was an easy drive back and forth to the mountain. The one complaint the kids had was the network (wifi) wasnt good (gaming or social media). We were able to stream two movies on the TVs (one upstairs and one downstairs) so was really good enough. Again this was told ahead of time (spotty mountain internet). Overall perfect and we'll definitely stay here again.

Perfect experience
Exploring Mt. Rainier with out-of-town family was perfect with the chalet as our home base. Coming back to a place with warm showers, a great kitchen and grill, comfy beds, a steaming hot tub, big screen TV to watch the Women’s World Cup, and NO MOSQUITOES made our time at Mt. Rainier the highlight of my family’s trip.

Perfect Crystal Getaway
My group of 6 stayed here for a week while we snowboarded at Crystal Mountain and couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. Location is about as ideal as you can get in relation to the proximity to crystal mountain. The house itself was gorgeous in the winter time with it's seclusion in the woods. Add in the hot tub, fire place and modern amenities of the cabin, you'll be hard pressed not to enjoy your stay. Karen has a beautiful home and is also an excellent host. She was in contact with me all throughout the lead up and trip itself. Nothing came up but had it she was a quick phone call away.

Spacious, beautiful, and well stocked
Great place to stay for our Crystal ski trip. It was a 20 minute drive to the hill (which has free EV charging - see Crystal website for details). The chalet was huge for 8 people and Karen has it stocked with plenty of disposable products like paper towels, garbage bags, soaps, etc. The kitchen has good pots and pans, knives, etc, not the cheap stuff you often find. I brought my own frying pan (they are never big enough) so I never saw that but the rest of the cookware and dishes were awesome for 8 people. Also - easy to get to with flat roads and ample parking.

Family ski and board trip
Traveling in from local PNW, Texas, and North Carolina, a blended family of 9, we arrived and had the best time! Karen, our host, was amazing with detailed instructions on how everything worked and a lovely home to meet all of our needs. The location to Crystal mountain resort was a hop skip away (just 20 minutes). Even getting to the local Safeway was a mere 25-ish minutes away. The neighborhood was quiet and every morning we met the local Elk wandering through the front yard. Truly a magical place! We could not have asked for a better set up.

Perfect quiet getaway
We didn't research the location of this property as well as we should have, but we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was. Approximately 20 minutes from Boone and 30 minutes from Beech Mountain, this property was perfect for a quiet vacation with our kids. John allowed us the opportunity to do some sledding on the property behind the house and enjoy some free range exploring. It was magnificent to take the kids out in the snow and enjoy nature. The sledding was EPIC! If you visit in the winter, don't forget your sled. The house was extremely clean and spacious. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. It is beneficial to have 4 wheel drive for the driveway. Suggestion: be sure to have the wifi password ready upon arrival. We had to go back down the driveway and to the main road so I could have enough signal to check email to get the door code and wifi password. They were serious when they mentioned minimal/no reception. Once connected to wifi we had no issues with connection, though.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay. This was a last minute booking and Karen was extremely helpful! The home was very clean and well equipped. The beds were extremely comfortable. The first morning we were there a herd of elk were hanging out in the driveway which was really cool too. This location was convenient for our hikes we had planned at Mt. Rainer. Overall our stay exceeded our expectations!

The perfect hot tub after a long hike!
We had a blast staying at this beautiful home. Karen was an absolute pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure my friends and family had all the information we needed prior to starting our trip. Enumclaw being a small mountain has very limited service and shops so Karen's instructions saved us a ton of time and headaches. The home was clean and and the beds were comfortable. The best part was the hot tub we all got to soak in after our long day of hike and the numerous massaging jets in it. Will definitely stay here again when visiting Mount Rainer.

Karen's house has pretty much everything on our wishlist for a vacation home - The house is spacious enough for four adults and three teens. It's beautifully decorated and very well maintained. The jacuzzi, the big TV, and the various board games guarantee the quality time with family and friends. There are also generous supplies at the kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms for our convenience. We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Karen's house and highly recommend it for families visiting Mt.

We stayed at the Elk Meadow Chalet for a weekend in August. The cabin is just as described in the listing. It is extremely spacious, very clean, and very well-equipped. There is plenty of space to park up to four cars in the driveway. Communication with Karen was smooth and regular. As a bonus, we got to see a family of elk right in the driveway on Sunday morning.

Weekend hiking at Mt. Rainier
We stayed here for a quick weekend of hiking near Sunrise. The property was just as pictured and very neat and tidy. The owner was very helpful, even suggesting favorite local hikes and where to get groceries. Dining out options are limited in the near area but the kitchen was well stocked for cooking in. We did not use the hot tub but did enjoy sitting in the outdoor areas. We will return!

Great house!
We had a great stay even in the hottest of summer days without a/c. Karen was an excellent communicator (very responsive to my multiple requests/questions), and we came prepared with fans and had no issues even witj 95 deg days. The house was perfect for our 2 families of 4, and it’s well stocked with everything you could need (detergent, shower items, towels, cookware, dishes…everything!). Karen really thought of everything. Close to Mt. Rainier, and in the neighborhood you can walk to the white river to wade and splash around. Also playground, horse stables, playfields, and we even saw some of the elk herd while we were there. Highly recommend for families!!
