Peaceful winter getaway
The cabin was perfect for our family of 5. The location was great and so relaxing. Our kids lived being able to sled at the local park just 5 min away.

Fantastic Weekend
The cabin was beautiful and well kept. The WiFi was out, but the communication from the owner was fast and it wasn’t an issue. The hot tub was hot, and the fire pit was perfect. To top it all off, the views were spectacular. 10/10 would stay again.

Perfect sister trip
It was a great relaxing weekend in this little house in the woods overlooking a river. It was quiet, cozy and comfortable. Perfect for my sister and I to get a weekend away to read our books, play card games and relax in the hot tub. We had all the supplies we needed in the house except for a tea kettle but we made do with a pot. :) Beds and linens were clean and so comfy. Couches are warn but not uncomfortable, we lounged while reading enjoying the river outside and the wildlife walking by.

Cozy Winter Stay
We have stayed here before, so the fact that we rebook speakers for itself-and we will always continue to do so when it’s available! This is one of the most clean and well-equipped rentals we have stayed at. The beds are phenomenal, and the kitchen has everything you might need. We enjoyed the wood stove and the evenings in the hot tub, listening to the river. It’s a great getaway spot after a day in the snow at Paradise. Hope to stay in the summer and use the big firepit!

Perfect little riverside mountain cabin!
Exactly as pictured. Spotlessly clean. Gorgeous views. Well equipped kitchen. Comfy beds. My only complaint: there was a "boil water" advisory that was not relayed to us; we found out via a sign at the entrance to the neighborhood. Had we known, we would've brought drinking water instead of heading back into town and paying a king's ransom at the quickie mart.

Quaint little cabin on the river!
Really loved our stay here. It's right on the river with easy access. You can sit and relax right on it. There is a fire pit as well. It was neat and clean. The living room is a little dim for my liking, but very well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils. I loved the beds and the pillows, comfortable night's sleep. We arrived late in the night so finding the cabin was a little difficult. The Google maps was not that helpful. The property manager was reachable and helped us find the cabin. It has dedicated parking space. Around 2.5 miles away from the Mt. Rainier entrance.

Lovely get away
The River House was a lovely place to stay. We sat by the river in the morning with coffee, had a fire outside, grilled, and fired up the wood stove inside. The house is outfitted well for cooking in. It was clean although if you have an allergy to scents, be warned. Scented cleaner or spray was used. The hot tub was heavy with chlorine smell. The master bedroom was comfortable as reported by our friends. My husband and I slept in the other room in the queen bed. This bed was not comfortable and we kept rolling into the middle. If there was only one person or someone smaller, I think it would be fine. I did let the owners know in my review. Overall, this is a lovely spot and the stars were wonderful. Heard elk bugling in the mornings.

Magic of the mountain
Being close to the Nisqually entrance to the Mt. Rainier National Park, the River House is perfectly located. The home is comfortable and serene with the little river out back where you can sit and relax in the evenings after spending the day experiencing the magic of the mountain.

Labor Day Girls' Trip with my Daughters
We flew into Seattle early from Chicago & immediately visited the Space Needle & Chihuly in the Garden, which were both great, but we weren't completely immersed in the beauty of Washington state until we got out of the city & drove to The River House. To stay within sight of Mt. Ranier was so special, and the entire property exudes calm and makes you feel blessed to be there. We were visited by a single deer as we sat by the river, and then a mother with her doe walked between the houses. As we enjoyed a glass of wine in the hot tub and were marveling at the stars, we saw a meteor! Beyond the beauty of the outdoor space, the kitchen and bathrooms are fully stocked and the bedrooms were thoughtfully arranged with extra blankets, pillows, and even fans! If we were ever to be in the state again, we would definitely stay and have zero hesitation recommending it to others!

Great Location and Cottage
This cottage was super for my wife and I in all the important ways. It was close to the popular Paradise entrance to the Park. Very important consideration for early entry if not on a timed entry permit - car lines car be a mile long for entry and full parking lots. Absolutely great location sitting in the quiet by the creek or enjoying the hot tub. Cottage was very clean and well equipped. Owner was super responsive.

This property felt warm and cozy right when we opened the door. Very clean and comfortable. Sitting by the river outside was very relaxing. The fire pit came in handy for s’mores. Very easy to check in and out. Would 100% recommend to stay at this house!

The perfect cozy cabin!
The location and aesthetic of this place is as cabin as it comes! The interior is cozy and modern as well as well-stocked. The location is wonderful. You will find yourself on a little river with a fire pit and hot tub. It was so peaceful and quiet! You can’t get much closer to Mount Rainier. There are also a few restaurants within 6-7 minutes. Awesome place. We loved it! Would stay here again without hesitation.

Amazing River Cabin
This place couldn’t have been more perfect. We had two day trips to Mt. Rainer NP planned and the location of the house was perfect. It was a great place to relax, disconnect, and enjoy time together. The fire pit was a fun way to end our nights. Thank you for providing such an awesome place!!
