This property is a must visit

We travel all over, but this is our favorite. This trip was 4 retired ladies, but next trip I’ll be bringing the grand kids for hiking and exploring. One of the neighbors told us about a double waterfall that is just a short walk from our back yard. I can’t say enough about the professional and prompt responses from the owners. This location feels like our own family cabin. The owners provide clean burning firewood for the inside fireplace which is a money saving courtesy. This is a must visit for all ages.

Sister’s Birthdays Get away

Absolutely a wonderful trip! The cabin was a wonderful treat for our Birthdays. Place was clean, beautiful, comfortable, and peaceful. June my dog loved the trails behind the cabin. The hot tub was just Ahhhhhsome. Peaceful neighborhood. Fresh eggs next door to make fabulous breakfast. The detail instructions on all things was appreciated left no guessing on how things worked, location, or what was available to use. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home

Great base for Mt. Ranier

Beautiful, well maintained home with all amenities and extras! If it's not provided, you probably didn't need it anyway! This is a great place to relax and unwind after a day of hiking or sightseeing. If you're planning a vacation to the Mt. Ranier area, book Das Waldhaus - you'll be glad you did.

Trip Savers

We had a wonderful stay here! The cabin was beautiful and just right for our family. It felt so spacious even with 2 adults and 3 kids. This was the most well-appointed rental we have EVER stayed in. It was so nice to have some staples we could use instead of having to purchase and then throw away. Everything was super clean, the beds were very comfortable (doesn’t seem to be the norm for most rentals), kitchen was well stocked, and there were plenty of amenities to use. Plus, the view out the back door was lovely. It was a quiet and peaceful community. On another note, the owners literally saved our vacation. We left behind important documents and they were so wonderfully responsive and helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness. We were so lucky to have wonderful, trustworthy renters after us, these great hosts, plus a housekeeper that went well beyond the call of duty to meet us halfway to return our documents.

Great place!

We had a wonderful stay here! The house was clean and well-equipped, and you can walk out the back yard and just keep walking into the National Forest. The internet speed is very fast. The kitchen, unlike in many other vacation rentals, has all the things we needed to actually cook. We didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit and the back yard so much because the mosquitoes were vicious while we were there, but the hot tub was nice!

Fantastic home

Our family stayed in this home for a couple nights in July. The house was super clean and had the best stocked kitchen we've ever encountered. There was even a food thermometer! The beds were very comfortable and the setup of the home was ideal for a family with kids, with common areas situated between the master and other bedrooms. The home and property were very quiet. Having 2 bathrooms was an unexpected bonus (this is probably in the listing, but our family is used to sharing one bath on our vacations). The location was convenient for exploring Mt Rainier, but we also enjoyed just hanging out in the backyard. The home is immaculately maintained and organized. It made relaxing here easy, even when it was time to cook a big family meal. I would recommend this property to any family or friends who would be traveling in this area.

My skiing friends and I needed a clean, cute, and comfortable place to rest while enjoying nearby White Pass ski area. This property checked all those boxes and more. We've stayed in many rental houses and I can't remember another property, or another owner, meeting our needs more perfectly. Highly recommended!

Perfection

Das Waldhaus has quickly become a favorite of ours. So much that I’m hesitant to leave a review because I selfishly don’t want the booking calendar to fill up. We hiked and explored the riverside. The late steelhead making their way upstream provided an invitation for the eagles - we saw no less than 9 Bald Eagles soaring above the Cowlitz River on a single afternoon. And there are great spots for Nordic skiing just a short drive away. This was our second winter visit and we’re hoping to get back for a summer weekend.

From the moment we opened the door it was abundantly clear that the host made sure every aspect of our stay was comfortable. From the tea, coffee pitches for drink mix, the plush comforters, cooking utensils, etc. the Host really ensured that we lacked for nothing. We were beyond happy with our stay. The property is clean and well-maintained. This is a perfect rental for families, couples, those with animals, friends, etc. Great location, great home and we'll be back!!!!
