Our updated cabin blends modern comfort with peaceful forest views. Enjoy an open-concept living area with vaulted ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace, foosball table, smart TV, and oversized windows. The fully stocked kitchen includes stainless appliances, quality cookware, spices, and a complete coffee setup.
The master bedroom features a king bed with tranquil mountain views, while the fun twin-over-queen bunk room overlooks the surrounding forest. Bathrooms are hotel-clean with backlit mirrors, a walk-in shower, and luxury touches.
Step outside to your private spa experience: a cedar barrel sauna, hot tub under string lights, firepit seating area, covered deck with a Solo Stove, and a fully fenced yard please note, the gate is kept open in winter to avoid any access issues due to limited solar power. A private BBQ grill makes outdoor cooking a breeze, and a Level 2 EV charger is available for guest use.
Kid-friendly perks include a Pack ’n Play, highchair, toys, books, and a magical teepee nook. Games and thoughtful details throughout make this space perfect for couples, families, and small groups seeking comfort and connection.

★CUSTOMER REVIEWS★
If Airbnb had a 6 star option for those rare standout places, this would be one of them. This is the perfect place to base a visit to the Mt Rainier area. The house feels brand new, so clean and had absolutely everything we needed. The communication from the hosts was great, before and during the visit. If you are looking for an Airbnb and this house is available, book it!

Only minutes from Mount Rainier entrance! Amazing place! Fully equipped kitchen was great! Very comfortable beds! Pack n play was convenient for toddler. Hot tub was nice with views of the mountains. Nice and hot water for showers. Comfortable living room to play games with family. Fireplace was nice to relax next to in the living room. This has to be the best place to stay near the park!

We couldn’t be happier with our stay! The home has so many great amenities included. I always appreciate when a host has seasonings in the kitchen and they had a plethora.
Gorgeous location, the home itself was so comfortable. Paulina was super responsive with any questions we had and immediately helped us out if we had anything come up. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Ashford is a rural mountain community, and the best way to explore is with your own vehicle. Public transportation is not available, and ride-share or taxi services are very limited.
From the cabin:
– Turn left on Kernahan Rd E to reach Hwy 706E. Right leads to the Mt. Rainier National Park entrance; left takes you toward Ashford and back to Elbe.
– Turn right on Kernahan Rd E to follow scenic Skate Creek Rd (closed in winter) for 23 miles to Packwood and Hwy 12.
★ Guest Guidelines – Making Your Stay Easy + Enjoyable ★
• Power Outages – Life in the mountains can come with the occasional outage. Flashlights are in every room. Heat, hot water, and cooking still work; hot tub, Wi-Fi, and wall heaters will pause until power returns.
• Pet Policy – While we love animals, Ridgeline Retreat is a pet-free home. ADA-trained service animals are welcome with prior notice and documentation.
• Smart TVs – Both Roku TVs are set to Guest Mode. Feel free to log in to your favorite apps — you’ll be automatically logged out at checkout.
• Septic Awareness – Please avoid stepping on the raised mound in the southeast corner of the yard. It’s part of our septic system and needs to stay healthy!
• Clean & Fresh – The cabin is professionally cleaned and sanitized before each stay. No smoking or pets are permitted inside the home.
• Firewood – You’re welcome to use any leftover firewood. Otherwise, local vendors have great bundles nearby. Please follow local burn ban guidance.
• Visitors – Only registered guests are permitted on the property. Infants count toward total occupancy.
• Hot Tub/Sauna Safety – For your health, we recommend avoiding hot tub use if you are pregnant or have heart or circulatory concerns.
