Come home to the mountain.
A two-bedroom hiking cabin in Ashford, minutes from Mt. Rainier's Nisqually Entrance — built by a family who has spent fifteen years learning every trail up there, for the evening you come back down it.
Why guests book Hiker's Haven - The trail's the reason you came. This is the reason you'll come back.
Four things that separate a cabin near the mountain from a cabin built for people who actually hike it.
Location =- Minutes from Nisqually Entrance Hiker's Haven sits in Ashford, Washington — close enough to the park's Nisqually Entrance that "one more trailhead" is never a real question.
Recovery - Built for the walk back down, Gas fireplace, mini-split heat, and a hot tub on the deck. Bathrobes and hot tub towels are already out. So is the coffee.
Hosts - Run by hikers, not a rental company
Chris and Renee Pilchard have been coming to Rainier for over fifteen years. The hiking notes on their site are the ones they actually use.
Range - More than one kind of day Waterfall hikes before lunch, a scenic railroad or a wildflower meadow after. Same cabin, very different Tuesdays.
Ashford, WA | 2 Bed · 2 Bath | Hot tub & fire pit
