Timberline Creekside Chalet @ Mt Rainier-Sleeps10- Wave WIFI, Pets Welcome!

Our Rustic Packwood cabin has been renovated and we updated several features inside and out.

We’ve recently renovated our Cabin and added several new additions throughout:

*New appliances and counter tops to our kitchen
*Large outdoor deck (facing coal creek),
*Whir-pool stacked washer and dryer set
*4K 55 inch Samsung smart TV ( featuring Hulu live, Roku, Netflix and Amazon Prime video).
*Wave WiFi throughout the cabin
*40” TV with blue ray in the kids bunk area-

We also have a game closet downstairs featuring monopoly, Jenga, battleship, Pictionary, and a few other classics.

Our cabin was built in 1964, and the previous family had 50 years of memories within this vintage chalet. After 5 years of enjoying several wonderful family ski outings, we’ve decided to share this experience with others. Be the first person or family to explore the great outdoors while staying at the Coal Creek Chalet!


*We're no longer supplying firewood after Memorial Day 2025 due to several area forest fires. The Goat Rocks fire came within 1 mile of our family cabin. Guests can check local burn bans, and purchase their own fire wood for consumption. Thank you
