Rooms were great and so was staff. Loved having the coffee shop so close - drinks were very good! Breakfast sandwiches were pricey for what they were. WiFi was slow and bed was a bit hard but I’d stay here again.
really good espresso at the cafe and super nice staff.
I did lose sleep multiple nights from noise, the walls are thin. There's also no hair dryer, fridge, microwave, TV or anything in the single rooms.
Everything about this place was wonderful. From the welcoming staff to awesome breakfast options and clean rooms. It’s in a great location if visiting Mount Rainier. Would definitely stay here again!
I am not sure what I was expecting with a historic stay but I was pleasantly surprised and the little coffee shop that was attached was amazing. Very short drive into Mt Rainer

Room was clean , bed is a mattress on a piece of plywood, so pretty firm. No extra pillows in the room and what they had were very flat. No tv. If you want a place to sleep it was perfect, but if you want comfort and quiet this is not it. Young adult in the yurt were up until late partying and people above us sounded like a herd of elephants (mainly due to it being an older building). Good location, restaurants in the area.
I booked this room by accident. I was unaware that I had booked a room with no refrigerator, no microwave and no television! But I soon began to understand what the owners were striving for (I think). This is a beautiful area only 6 miles from Mount Rainier. I also noticed others enjoying the courtyard area by reading, relaxing under umbrellas, just enjoying the weather. This is a fine area to kind of disconnect and just enjoy the outdoors.
Room was fine for my needs. And bed was firm. It was clean. The main complaint was just the thin walls and hearing other people’s conversations and snoring at night.
Clean room. Helpful cheerful staff. There was noise from people upstairs from evening until about 2am. Facility could use some sprucing up, but as it has a rustic charm vibe, maybe it's fine as-is! I needed to drive a ways down the road for morning coffee, as the cafe at the facility wasn't open until later
