FAQ
Common questions
What time is check-in and check-out?
Check-in is at 4:00 PM. Check-out is at 11:00 AM. Your keypad code is sent 24 hours before arrival. Just pull up, punch in the code, and you're home.
Can I check in early?
Sometimes — depends on the turnover schedule. Message us the day before and we'll do our best. No extra charge if we can make it work.
Are pets allowed?
Pet requests are reviewed case by case. Message us before booking if you'd like to request approval. If approved, a pet fee may apply. Service animals are always welcome.
How fast is the Wi-Fi?
We're on fiber. Speeds are typically 100+ Mbps down and up. Enough for streaming, video calls, and remote work.
Where's the nearest grocery store?
Eatonville is 20 minutes west with a full grocery store, gas stations, and a hardware store. Ashford has a small general store for basics. Stock up before you get here.
How is the hot tub maintained?
Professionally serviced and chemically balanced between every guest. Kept at 104°F and covered when not in use. Towels provided.
Is the fireplace real?
It's a stone propane fireplace — real flames, real heat, no smoke. We light it before you arrive so the cabin is warm when you walk in.
What's the cancellation policy?
Most reservations offer a full refund if cancelled at least 14 days before check-in. Specific terms depend on your booking channel. See our policies page for details.
How far is the national park?
Six miles to the Nisqually entrance — about 10 minutes. Paradise is 40 minutes. You're closer to Rainier than almost any other rental in the area.
