This home is really nice and sits on a beautiful private property. Everything inside and out is well done and comfortable. It’s a little bit of a drive from town, but still a great spot for a couple days of exploring the national park.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. Great location for hiking in Mt. Rainier National Park. The cabin itself was great and Kimberly was a delightful host. Would love to stay here again when we return to the area.

Great base for Mt. Ranier

Beautiful, well maintained home with all amenities and extras! If it's not provided, you probably didn't need it anyway! This is a great place to relax and unwind after a day of hiking or sightseeing. If you're planning a vacation to the Mt. Ranier area, book Das Waldhaus - you'll be glad you did.

Sister’s Birthdays Get away

Absolutely a wonderful trip! The cabin was a wonderful treat for our Birthdays. Place was clean, beautiful, comfortable, and peaceful. June my dog loved the trails behind the cabin. The hot tub was just Ahhhhhsome. Peaceful neighborhood. Fresh eggs next door to make fabulous breakfast. The detail instructions on all things was appreciated left no guessing on how things worked, location, or what was available to use. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home

Trip Savers

We had a wonderful stay here! The cabin was beautiful and just right for our family. It felt so spacious even with 2 adults and 3 kids. This was the most well-appointed rental we have EVER stayed in. It was so nice to have some staples we could use instead of having to purchase and then throw away. Everything was super clean, the beds were very comfortable (doesn’t seem to be the norm for most rentals), kitchen was well stocked, and there were plenty of amenities to use. Plus, the view out the back door was lovely. It was a quiet and peaceful community. On another note, the owners literally saved our vacation. We left behind important documents and they were so wonderfully responsive and helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness. We were so lucky to have wonderful, trustworthy renters after us, these great hosts, plus a housekeeper that went well beyond the call of duty to meet us halfway to return our documents.

Das Waldhaus was perfect for our family of four while visiting Rainier. The cabin was a great size, well-stocked in the kitchen for all our needs, and we loved having the hot tub after our two days of challenging hiking! The hosts were very responsive and helpful and we honestly could not have been happier with our experience! Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at Das Waldhaus. It was the perfect spot for our two day visit to Mount Rainier. The owners of this property have thought of every detail -- from Band-Aids to stain remover. The beds and pillows were super comfy. It was an above-and-beyond home rental. Our group was so impressed! We had a minor hiccup when the keypad on the front door ran out of batteries, but the host was responsive, communicative, and quick to fix. Would absolutely stay again!
