She would make an amazing manager and I genuinely hope that she gets recognized as an amazing asset to her team and truly should be considered to be the manager. Upon entering my room, there was urine stains on the toilet, trash all on the floor, beds not clean, and most disturbingly, c** stains on the floor and toilet. We went to the desk to ask for a new room. We were placed in 214. Unlocked the door with our room key, and to our UNPLEASANT SURPRISE, there were folks in the bed doing DRUGS and someone in the shower. We ran out to the front. We grabbed our stuff and asked for a refund. Jazz had to call Kayla for assistance. This is where things get worse. KAYLA the "manager" was the most rude, uncaring, unhelpful, and disrespectful manager I have ever had the displeasure to come into contact with. I want KAYLAS AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE, COMPLETE LACK OF EMPATHY, AND AWFUL CARE OF THIS PROPERTY TO BE INVESTIGATED. She asked "well what's wrong with the room we gave you?" As if we didn't explain it to her twice. She then asked why we wanted to leave, which makes absolutely no sense considering this place is UNSAFE due to lack of CONSIDERATION OF PRIVACY!!!!! We said, we don't want anyone walking into our room in the middle of the night. She said that would be impossible- well obviously it wasn't. She was also very rude to her assistant manager who was going the absolute best she could to help us. KAYLA should not have been disrespectful to Jazz at all. Jazz was the only good thing in that hotel. Kayla was absolutely awful and will steer any business they ever get away. Kayla made us jump through extra hoops to even get our refund. Which btw, we still haven't gotten. STEER AWAY!!! DO NOT COME HERE. MANAGEMENT: fire Kayla. For the sake of your business!!!! Jazz would be amazing manager.

Out of all the places we've stayed in our five year marriage, The Cedar Grove Cabin, was by far the…read moremost majestic and beautiful. Nestled amongst a canopy oasis of cedar trees, this recently renovated cabin features both and INDOOR and OUTDOOR hot-tub. Never did we expect how beautiful this experience could have been. We have never been able to find a place since that includes both types of jacuzzis, which is perfect after a long day of hiking. Another great thing was that the kitchen came stocked with great appliances and equipment for cooking. Lastly, the owners Janet and Pat were friendly and helpful. We absolutely look forward to visiting this part of the country in the future and staying in our beloved studio cabin.

My wife and I recently stayed here to attend a wedding which was being held close by. We chose the…read moreHuckleberry cabin as each cabin has it's own name. The cabin has a nice woodsy smell even though we did have to air it out and it felt very cozy right once you stepped inside. The place is quite secluded with only one other cabin close by and the other by the owners. The amenities offered here is great with the free Wi-Fi which is very good for a far away place like this so close to Mount Rainier. The signal strength was great and we never had a disruption in service. When we checked in, Janet was there to greet us and was very helpful to explain about hiking options at Mount Rainier plus all the dining options close by in Ashford. They have a wide array of DVD's for you to borrow since they don't have any TV signal, but during our entire stay here we were always too busy to watch any of them. The cabin we stayed at was just terrific as it seems as it was recently not too long ago remodeled. It has a full size fridge, stove and even a dishwasher. They also have utensils and kitchen utensils for cooking with pots and pans included. The interior of the cabin was nicely decorated and you can tell the place has been kept up with all the guests coming and going with each new reservation. The bathroom is large and has a nice big Jacuzzi tub with a skylight. The main draw of the place was the big hot tub right outside our bedroom door. It was fenced in so you have privacy throughout and you can freely jump in and out whenever you want. The place also came with a small porch with a gas barbeque grill which we utilized once for barbequing burgers. It was such a great setting to relax and have a couple beers before heading to the wedding. If I ever come to Mount Rainier again I would definitely choose to stay at this cabin again as it is quite a long drive back to Seattle if only coming for a day trip. The amenities offered here just seems to make staying in the woods that more inviting! P.S. They have no cell phone signal here and you cannot get any reception once you leave the premises.

Bring your girls and stay for a night or more in one of the two sleepover rooms... or come just for a day to experience one of the many craft workshops offered. My first time to the Art Cottage was an all day soldering/jewelry workshop with artist Terri Brush. The warm and bubbly owners, Kim & JoNell, planned a beautiful tomato soup & italian panini lunch for us halfway through the day, adding culinary excellence to the already amazing experience. The only thing that could make an art workshop at the Cottage better is plenty of inspiring snacks-- and they had those covered too! They served a caramel apple dessert, coffee, tea, and other refreshments through the art day, including a tray of leaf-shaped autumnal cookies straight out of the oven. The Cottage's class schedule is expanding and it's eclectic, ranging from soldering, jewelry, and photography workshops to mushroom foraging adventures (!!) and full cooking classes and demonstrations. The Queen Bee Art Cottage is a unique blend of creativity, escape, and enlightenment. Go to play, refresh, and let your artistic side come out... all while feeling posh and pampered!

We spent two days and one night at the cottage participating in the French Flea and had many opportunities to observe Kim and JoNell as the organizers and gracious hosts of a major event. The French Flea is an upscale market offering unusual and sought after items to the public with something for everyone. The vendor selection was great and included local and out of state folks. A big thanks to Mary Corso, Courtyard Antique Mall owner, for inviting me. Her enthusiasm and attention to detail makes every event a positive experience. The caterers served creative and ample portions of tasty food at a very fair price. Loved the watermelon water, it was such a refreshing surprise on our 97 degree day!. Another big bonus was the ample parking provided for the vendors and the public. The cottage is easy to find, less then a mile from the freeway but a tranquil world apart. The cottage was open to the public throughout the event and we heard many oohs and aahs as visitors explored the many nooks, crannies and amenities provided for guests. The cottage is a delightful retreat offering custom bed linens, fluffy guest robes, a great shower in the bathroom and several comfortable areas for lounging, reading or cozy visiting as in our case. And pampering begins as you arrive and continues your entire visit. We were welcomed back to the cottage after a long day with wine, cupcakes and candles. However my favorite treat, was fresh brewed coffee which greeted us in the morning , a great start to another day at the cottage. And you ask...would we participate in the French Flea again...am already signed up and preparing for next years event! Again you ask, would we return to the cottage...a resounding yes, just as soon as our schedules permit. Go and Enjoy!
