Why this cabin

Close to the mountain. Hard to leave.

Redtail Rendezvous sits on a quiet Ashford lot, 6 miles from the Nisqually entrance. Guests tell us they came for Rainier and ended up talking about the cabin just as much.

6 miles to the Nisqually entrance

You can be at the park gate before most people finish their coffee. Ashford is as close as it gets to Rainier's most popular entrance.

Come back to something good

A covered hot tub under the trees, a stone fireplace in the great room, and a full kitchen so you can cook a real dinner. Not a hotel mini-fridge situation.

The whole place is yours

No shared walls. No lobby. No resort noise. Just a private A-frame cabin on a quiet lot surrounded by big trees.
