Travelers consistently highlight the convenient Packwood base for Mount Rainier and White Pass, comfortable group-friendly spaces, and responsive hosts, with quiet surroundings and occasional elk sightings making this a relaxing spot for families and hikers planning outdoor-focused days.
Many describe the home as clean, well equipped for cooking, and stocked with family games at The Elk Run Lodge-close to town, hot tub, game table, Apple TV and fire pit. Recurring drawbacks include hot tub maintenance and a heavy cover, confusing app-based door lock check-in, and occasional TV/Apple TV or internet frustrations. Overall, expect a homey base for outdoor-focused trips.

Facilities
The hot tub is popular after hikes but several reviews cite maintenance problems and a heavy, hard-to-handle cover; the game tables are enjoyed, and one stay reported fireplace issues.

This was a clean and inviting location that fit our family ranging from age 7-17 plus parents. Relaxing common area, furnishings, fun activities, dinner table that fits everyone, and the air hockey/mini-pool, and pingpong were a hit amongst all. Kitchen and bathrooms don't have all the amenities- but great communication by the hosts helped us know what to expect in advance so no surprises.

We choose this location mainly for hiking, locally and Mt Rainier. The property was clean and inviting; a great base station. Plenty of kitchen essentials and the family games are a nice touch. Packwood has a few food/dining options, breweries and a grocery store. Prices at the grocery store were as expected from a remote/local store, and the variety of food selection was good. The hot tub was great after hiking all day, but could use some maintenance. Overall a great stay.

Overall a good location and we have stayed here before. The front door lock app was an issue at check in. The instructions say that the code is the last 4 of your phone number, but you actually need to download an app that has to be sent to you by the owner. So we could get in because the door was unlocked, but we could not lock it once we unloaded. The towels were still dank, like they were not fully dry. Kitchen has no basic necessities like salt and spices. The hot tub has no stand to hold the cover and was very heavy. We did our best to keep it off the ground, but the sides of the tub are literally sitting in muddy dirt. Again, nice place, good location, good response from owners. Just needs a few tune.

Overall this is a great location and space. Both the owner and property manager were very responsive and helpful. However, the house does need some serious upgrades that have been neglected. Slightly annoying when things look great at first glance, but then are actually broken or unusable when you get into it. For example, cupboard doors falling off when you open them. Also the main TV isn't a smart TV, has a Roku but no Roku remote. Has a DVD player, but no HDMI connection. Upstairs tv has a DVD player, but the drawer to insert a dvd doesn't open. Hot tub has a hole busted through the side and a jet that is broken so that water shoots straight up into the air. Lid is also completely broken and also waterlogged because of said jet. Therefore you cannot actually remove the lid because it weighs about 100lbs. You can fold it over and use half the tub, but water is full of debris because the cover is torn down the middle and cannot keep debris out. Until this is actually addressed, I would not consider the hot tub an asset that should be advertised or paid for.

The house and bed were great for our group during our ski trip. However, many things were not working as well as we hoped: the hot tube, fireplace, and heat all need lots of work. It wasn't clearly stated that we needed to download an app to be able to unlock the rental.

Pleasant stay near the main town of Packwood. Place was very clean and nice overall. Very nice bathrooms, laundry units, and beds. However, Internet capability and Apple TV was not good. Hotel size bar soaps and shampoo would make a big difference since traveling with these items are not always possible.

Overall cleanliness was a problem for us. Dirty dishes in the dishwasher, grubby counters, deck and patio furniture were filthy, etc. showers and bathrooms were clean and nice and overall stay was nice, once we got kitchen clean and up to our standards. Would we stay here again? Yes, but I hope cleanliness becomes more of a priority.

Good place to stay generally comfortable and accommodating. A few minor issues: limited place settings; could not figure out tv; if you are the kind of person who unpacks few places to put things; some furniture not very comfortable. Bear had raided garbage, we could not reach hosts and wound up cleaning it up ourselves.

This property is awesome and we can’t wait to come back. We met the neighbors across the street who have an amazing view of the mountain and the creek. Very friendly community ! The house is nice and decorated beautifully. The beds were so comfy. I was happy it was pet friendly and the rooms were big enough for her crate. Any problems were handled immediately or they were going to handle with repair man when we left. The owners communicated so quick (they don’t live in packwood). They had everything you could need in the kitchen. Don’t forget to bring baggies, tin foil, etc. as the local stores jack up the price a little bit. FWIW: The only bummer (but not their fault is that AT&T cell service is sketchy in Packwood so casting to their TV was challenging but it worked out. A

Good location. Close to everything. Great jumping-off spot for Mount Rainier or White Pass skit trips.

Great location, well appointed and comfortable lodge convenient to Mt. Rainier hiking. Packwood is a cute little town with lots of dining options.

I wanted a little getaway in the woods with some close friends and this place worked out perfectly! Lovely space for cooking and socializing, very close to town and lots of hiking trails. Would definitely stay again!

We had everything we needed. Had access to a fully stocked kitchen. Used the hot tub. We had a full view of Mt Rainier from the deck and she was was showing in full glory. Close to Packwood and 20 minutes from the park entrance. Lodge was quite spacious.

Very nice property. Location was very convenient, close to town, but in very quite neighborhood and easy to get to Mt Rainier National park. We had a slight glitch with the app for the door lock, but the owner responded immediately and all was good within minutes.

This was perfect for our families first vacation. It is close to town and just a short drive to the mountains to ski or snowboard. The house had everything we needed. I hope to come back and stay longer.
