Guests appreciate the quiet, private setting and convenient base between Ashford and Elbe for exploring Mount Rainier. Interiors and appliances are modern and thoughtfully equipped for cooking, with extras like games, laundry, outdoor lighting, and a pellet stove. Reported drawbacks are minimal; one guest couldn't get the deck fire pit working. Expect a well-run, self-catered mountain retreat suited to couples or small families.

Great cabin in the woods. Everything was extremely clean and welcoming. Hot tub was great, a trail to the Nisqually River was a nice surprise. Very close to Rainier National Park. Host provided a ton of great information prior to the stay, including things to do in the area, check-in and arrival info. 10/10 would definitely stay here again.

This was our second time staying at the Wits End retreat. The property is clean, charming and well stocked with tools in the kitchen to make full meals, which we did. The hot tub is super clean and very nice - and the property abuts a little creek that makes a nice relaxing sound while you’re soaking in the hot tub. Great location with proximity to a few little spots in Elbe and also Ashford. Easy check in! Thanks for a lovely stay.

Perfect little cabin for us to escape the world for a few days. The cabin itself was cozy and had no problem heating up. Very nice kitchen to cook in & we loved the outdoor patio with hot tub and fire pit!

The property is part rustic cabin part luxury spa. Great location to explore Mt. Rainier NP during the day, and then later relax in the private hot tub afterwards. The hosts pay great attention to detail, from the deluxe appliances to the high-quality soaps and lotions. Just the place for a weekend getaway.

This cabin exceeded our expectations in every way. The pictures do not do it justice. The inside is spotless. The kitchen has everything..including some coffee, creamer etc if you forgot anything. Bathroom same..even an extra too rush ;new) in case you forgot. Bed was really comply. The pellet stove kept the whole place, nice and toasty. Every kind of game you remember from your childhood Lincoln logs included. Of course there is the outside amazing, hot tub, fire pit, and all the lights that come on instantaneously at sundown. A the feeling of peace & solitude away from the city is .amazing . A short entrance to the Mount Rainier entrance.. Wow, absolutely Incredible in every way. We loved it

Our stay at wits end retreat was absolutely perfect. The host was extremely communicative and quick to respond. The location was just a few minutes from Mt. Rainer and between two towns. The place itself was clean and fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans and every spice you would need. The hot tub was well maintained and perfect after a long day of hiking. We especially loved cozying up to the pellet stove with a glass of wine at night. If I were in the area again I would stay again but for longer.

Great location near the Nisqaully entrance to the park, nestled between two cute (very) small towns Ashford and Elbe. The trail behind the cabin leads to a magnificent view of the Nisqually River valley. The cabin itself was spotless inside and out. Our family of four had a wonderful time grilling, hanging by the firepit, cooking breakfast in the updated kitchen, and the kids loved the hot tub. Every creature comfort that I could imagine was available in the cabin - coffee, laundry, soft bedding, stocked personal items. The communication with the owner was so easy and friendly. Wonderful experience.

We would stay here again hands down. It was very clean and looked like the pictures! We loved the fire pit and hot tub, and they have the home stocked well with necessities. Only about 10 minutes from park entrance, so we found it to be a very convenient location if you are staying outside the park. Very picturesque, beautiful, and relaxing!

This place had it all in incredibly well-stocked kitchen, including coffee creamer, Keurig pods, and every other amenity in the kitchen you could dream of the hot tub was clean and worked perfectly. The fire pit was a nice touch with pre-chopped wood and fire starters to help the process. The property is quiet, private, and just what you need for a nice getaway up in the mountains. All brand new appliances made cooking a breeze! 10/10 would recommend

This place was incredibly clean and quiet. There are neighbors but they’re beyond the trees so it still felt very private. The creek was dry since it was mid-summer but the hot tub was perfect. The place is stocked insanely well with everything anyone could ever need. Lovely place.

This cabin is as nice in person as it is in the pictures, which isn't always the case! Everything was clean, fresh, and in good condition. It's a fairly small cabin but makes efficient use of space. There are lots of little extras and special touches that indicate the owners care about the guest experience. We hung out in the outdoor area most of the time, when we weren't at Mount Rainier Park which is only several miles down the road. Very nice place.

Great location near the Nisqaully entrance to the park, nestled between two cute (very) small towns Ashford and Elbe. The trail behind the cabin leads to a magnificent view of the Nisqually River valley. The cabin itself was spotless inside and out. Our family of four had a wonderful time grilling, hanging by the firepit, cooking breakfast in the updated kitchen, and the kids loved the hot tub. Every creature comfort that I could imagine was available in the cabin - coffee, laundry, soft bedding, stocked personal items. The communication with the owner was so easy and friendly. Wonderful experience.

My family scheduled an Alaskan cruise and decided to fly in a couple of days early to go to the park. This property is as advertised. It is a good distance from the park and within 20 minutes from a small town to go to a grocery store. The owners themselves provided household products that made everything nice also. We all enjoyed our few days here and are looking forward to coming back.

Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home.

Location
Convenient for Mount Rainier, especially the Nisqually entrance, and situated between Ashford and Elbe. Many appreciate the wooded, quiet setting and a trail to the Nisqually River.

Great home base for exploring Mt Rainer! This was our last stop on a 10 day road trip and we are going home with clean laundry! We all enjoyed the hot tub after hiking! Thanks for sharing your cozy cabin!

Great cabin in the woods. Everything was extremely clean and welcoming. Hot tub was great, a trail to the Nisqually River was a nice surprise. Very close to Rainier National Park. Host provided a ton of great information prior to the stay, including things to do in the area, check-in and arrival info. 10/10 would definitely stay here again.

This was our second time staying at the Wits End retreat. The property is clean, charming and well stocked with tools in the kitchen to make full meals, which we did. The hot tub is super clean and very nice - and the property abuts a little creek that makes a nice relaxing sound while you’re soaking in the hot tub. Great location with proximity to a few little spots in Elbe and also Ashford. Easy check in! Thanks for a lovely stay.

Our family stayed here over the Thanksgiving weekend! This cabin is exactly how it is described online. It was very clean and comfortable. I would stay here again with my family. Lots of walking trails in the woods nearby. Our family did some sledding at MRNP nearby.

Our stay at wits end retreat was absolutely perfect. The host was extremely communicative and quick to respond. The location was just a few minutes from Mt. Rainer and between two towns. The place itself was clean and fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans and every spice you would need. The hot tub was well maintained and perfect after a long day of hiking. We especially loved cozying up to the pellet stove with a glass of wine at night. If I were in the area again I would stay again but for longer.

Great location near the Nisqaully entrance to the park, nestled between two cute (very) small towns Ashford and Elbe. The trail behind the cabin leads to a magnificent view of the Nisqually River valley. The cabin itself was spotless inside and out. Our family of four had a wonderful time grilling, hanging by the firepit, cooking breakfast in the updated kitchen, and the kids loved the hot tub. Every creature comfort that I could imagine was available in the cabin - coffee, laundry, soft bedding, stocked personal items. The communication with the owner was so easy and friendly. Wonderful experience.

We would stay here again hands down. It was very clean and looked like the pictures! We loved the fire pit and hot tub, and they have the home stocked well with necessities. Only about 10 minutes from park entrance, so we found it to be a very convenient location if you are staying outside the park. Very picturesque, beautiful, and relaxing!

My family scheduled an Alaskan cruise and decided to fly in a couple of days early to go to the park. This property is as advertised. It is a good distance from the park and within 20 minutes from a small town to go to a grocery store. The owners themselves provided household products that made everything nice also. We all enjoyed our few days here and are looking forward to coming back.

This cabin was very comfortable and everything has been updated. Clean is an understatement. My spouse and I really enjoyed this property. It was close enough to everything we wanted to do and very private feeling. We will definitely look to stay at this cabin again. Thank you.

Wits End Retreat was one of the best rentals we have stayed at. It was very clean and in a great location. It was peaceful and just an overall wonderful place to stay. The hot tub was absolutely perfect, and the kitchen had plenty of dishes and cooking utensils for us to use. My family and i had a wonderful time staying there. And we plan on booking again real soon.

Had a great time. Host let us check in a little early which was nice, otherwise didn't need to communicate with the host during our stay as we had everything we needed and everything we could even think about needing. The property and cabin were well maintained. The stairs to the loft are a little narrow so had to be careful going up and down. Overall a great trip!
