The cabin was clean and comfortable. We only stayed one night but got a great night sleep and woke up at the base of Mt. Rainer, literally couldn't get any closer.

We showed up after the office was closed. The board had our name and cabin number. The key was in the cabin. We had no cell service there and no way to use WIFI, if they had it. They didn't have a password for it. The cabin was clean.

If you are looking to unplug and enjoy nature, this is the place. The unique cabins offer excellent privacy and are kept immaculate and quiet. There is no cell service. They offered Wifi but we were not lucky to connect which we actually loved because it forced us to step away from the real world. Plus, being right outside the park entrance meant we beat all the traffic and had no lines.
