    It was our first visit at Betsy's Serenity cabin and wont be our last! Super cosy and wood provided in the winter, for the main heat is a wood stove which we loved building. There's electric heat so when we arrived it was only 60 degrees while the outside temp was in the 20's. Enjoyed the hot tub after snowshoeing at Longmire. Beautiful view of the woods perfect for sitting and knitting for a bit of relaxation!.Kitchen is well equipped including a electric kettle and a great assortment of teas. The bed in the loft is very comfortable and the down comforter kept us warm during the very chilly nights. This cabin is super comfy perfect for two. We chose to dress downstair instead of carrying bags up the loft stairs much easier.Serenity is special to our family being in AA for years so Looking forward to future visits to the Serenity cabin! Thanks Betsy The Cyn S.

    Another fabulous stay at Betsy's! We use Betsy's as home base during our trips to Mt. Rainier National Park. We have stayed at Hiker's Hidaway numerous times and love that cabin. This time, we stayed at Laughing Water. This is a cabin worth staying at too! This cabin is nestled amongst beautiful pine tress, along with a small creek in the backyard. The cabin is situated far back from the road, and is quiet all day and all night. Upon arrival, there was a big storm occurring. The cabin did not have any power when we arrived. The cabin does have a gas fireplace which keeps the cabin warm and toasty. In the living room, there is a battery back up that will charge cell phones and laptops if you work remotely. No cell service in this area, the cabin does have wifi if you need to keep you in touch with the real world. (Please read the welcome binder, regarding power outages, pro rated refunds) We are a family of three, this cabin is plenty spacious for us. There is a bedroom downstairs with a wall heater, and an loft with a queen bed. The loft has a T.V/DVD player and kids movies. This space is more for young kids or teens. Full kitchen with all the dishes, pots, pans, cups, utensils you'll need. Gas stove, coffee machine, microwave, it's like home away from home. Full bath, shower has great water pressure. This cabin has a tankless water heater, gets very hot instantly! Living room with a TV and lots of board games. The backyard is awesome! Hot tub with awning right off the deck. There is a gas grill, that works well. Fire pit area near the creek. Lots of photo ops in the backyard, take advantage. There is deer feed you can use daily to feed the local deer.

    Enjoyed a perfect weekend getaway at hikers hideaway. The cabin has literally everything you need, including a hot tub right off the deck. It was winter when we stayed so we didn't spend anytime outdoors. Just cozied up inside with the fire and coffee and games. Every little touch in the cabin is so thoughtful and makes you feel like you're home, not in a rental. We didn't want to leave ! And we'll definitely return.

    Such a fun trip! We were unsure if we were going to make it out here or not but last minute we were able to pull it all together. The cabin is stoked with all the necessities so all we needed was food! Everything was very clean and cozy. We got Big Creek Cabin and we're excited to try other cabins in the future. We initially heard of Betsy's Cabins on facebook and they were running a special so we decided to try it out. So glad we did! We will be making this a more regular trip

    I've stayed at four of Betsy's cabins, they're all wonderful, but Big Creek is my favorite, right on the creek! Laughing water and big creek are right next to each other, so perfect for multiple families vacation. The properties have gone through a recent update and look great! I would definitely recommend.

    My family and I stayed here for 3 nights during the kids' spring break. The cabin was spacious, CLEAN and so welcoming. The ambience was great!!! From the decor, to light settings and the full kitchen!! We loved it! Kids didn't want to leave the cabin and they enjoyed learning about some of the "old snow equipment" in the living room. We're new to WA and we enjoyed being by the fire pit to roast marshmallows and hot dogs. The kitchen was equipped with EVERYTHING we needed.We will definitely be back!

    We got to enjoy a weekend away at Big Creek and it was worth it! Not too far of a drive from home, which was nice. The cabin was adorable! My favorite spot was the porch swing. I sat out there every morning and drank coffee while taking in the scenery and enjoying the sounds of the creek. Unfortunately because of Covid-19, the National Forest hadn't opened up yet so we didn't get to explore there like we wanted to but it was still a fin getaway. The kiddos loved playing down by the creek and relaxing hot tub.

    With the ongoing pandemic... curious to know how Betsy's maintains their hot tubs? Use of chlorine to kill bacteria, or completely change out the water each time, etc? Thank you.

    After each use of the hot tub there is scoop of powder(not sure what chemicals they are) you put into the hot tub. Your must to leave the hot tub on for a certain period of time after putting in the scoop of chemicals. The instructions to maintain… Read more

    I have done a number of climbs and treks with RMI, around the world. This isn't a review about all…read moreof them, just their Rainier climb. It's easy to look at Rainier everyday, especially if you live in Seattle, and forget that it is heavily glaciated, prone to avalanches and that people perish annually--even the best prepared and skilled. Most people who attempt this mountain and are considering a guide service lack the deep quiver of knowledge to handle basic mountaineering tasks like self-arrest, configure a safe rope team through crevasses and perform a rescue. RMI fills that gap and creates a unique learning environment in a very short period of time to make that happen for hundreds of folks annually. Climbing Rainier is imminently doable, but you gotta put in the work. I have a few comments and suggestions to make the most of it! 1. Be in shape: The number of folks who claim to be marathoners and can't make it to Camp Muir at 10,000 ft. is way more than you think. Climbing is a whole-body endeavor. You need to not just cardio-fit, but be able to balance weight, uphill, at altitude, for hours on end. Their website clearly says be in 'the best shape of your life.' That means something different to everyone, of course. But don't get solely stuck on how far you can run--that's just part of it. You need to have well-rounded fitness regime. The pace is very consistent, very steady but can feel taxing if you don't have a solid base of balance, flexibility, strength, stamina. 2. Gear: Gear is one of the things you can control, so control it. Take their recommendations seriously. If you are renting stuff through them, great. They know what works after thousands of clients and 50 years, trust them. If you show up with a bunch of iffy stuff, they will say something. You are on their rope team, too! They need you to be safe and comfortable and so do your fellow climbers. Don't spend all the time training, getting to the mountain, paying the fees and then cheap-out. All the used, good quality gear you need if out there-just do a little online searching. You don't need to spend a fortune but you DO need to be mindful. I have seen blisters, inadequate sleeping bags, etc., ruin trips. Call them if you have a question about a specific piece of gear. 3. Find your bliss: If you want to climb your own speed, take in the sights, get back to nature, you can't have a lot of people each doing that on their own timeframe AND expect to climb together. Climbing in glacier-ville requires being rested, attentive and focused to be a solid rope-team member. If you are wanting to commune with nature and do this on your leisurely timeline, at your pace, great. Climb by with your experienced friends. When you go as a group? There is a pace. Climbing for an hour and a short break is pretty standard. If you are well-practiced and have been training, your breaks should be short and focused on maintaining your health, not resting because you're tired. If it's 10 below, and windy, you need to know how to do tasks quickly and efficiently to keep you warm, hydrated, fed and able to continue. The climbing season on Rainier is busy and RMI leads climbs near-daily. Yep, that means there is a timeline. This is a business but their thousands and thousands of successful climbers up Rainier mean they have the process down. Their focus is safety for everyone and that means that the pace allows for recover at Camp Muir, a restful evening, breaks that don't take too much time. If something goes awry, you need time to put plans into motion--up is only halfway and if you're struggling on the way up, it won't be better on the way down. Rainier is a big, tall mountain with crazy weather and a lot of objective hazards that requires considerable skill to navigate it safely. RMI has that. Pay attention to their suggestions, requirements and instruction and weather-willing, you'll be on top!

    Recently did a 5 day Rainier climb with RMI. Could not have asked for a better group of guides,…read moreboth in their knowledge and skill expertise as well as their overall friendliness with all the climbers. It's a hard climb and they push you hard in order to stay safe and give everyone the best possible chance of success. We had an amazing summit climb! On the way down I had a medical emergency and the guides went above and beyond with extreme mountaineering skill to help get me down the mountain as quick as possible, likely saving my life. Amazing company to work with. Amazing climb!

    I signed up for a climb with International Mountain Guides and paid the deposit to reserve my spot…read more At some point, a payment reminder was sent--but it landed in my spam folder, so I never saw it. Next thing I know, I was charged in full for the trip, months before the actual climb. When I realized I could no longer attend and reached out, I was met with a rigid, impersonal response pointing to a no-refunds policy buried in the fine print. I tried calling and followed up respectfully via email, hoping for some basic flexibility or even a conversation. No luck. It's frustrating to feel like a company that's built around guiding people through challenges shows zero willingness to meet customers halfway when plans change unexpectedly. Just a heads-up: if you're considering IMG, make absolutely sure you're all-in and able to go--because once they charge you, that money is gone. And if their "reminder" ends up in your spam folder like mine did, don't expect them to care.

    Here is my experience with #InternationalMountainGuides (#IMG):…read more I am disappointed by the experience and the guides, Grace Akline and Lael Butler, I had on Mt. Baker in 2024. I participated in an all-women's program on August 6th - 9th and did not summit with the rest of the group on August 7th. This trip was starkly inferior to my attempt on Mt. Rainier in 2023, where the ENTIRE group was treated with respect, informed throughout the program (even though we were not going to be able to summit due to warm weather), and motivated with positivity at every step. Based on this recent trip, I will not be recommending your services or using them again. Firstly, the guides decided to summit a day earlier than programmed, preventing a day of rest and decent sleep prior to our ascent. We also had a very late start at 5:00 am on summit day. I saw many groups already on the mountain at 2:45 am when I woke, expecting to get going, but did not get my wake-up call until 3:40 am. These circumstances caused our summit to be rushed and at a pace that was marginally faster than I was capable of doing. I trained for 9 months for this trip, and I am a firefighter who annually participates in the Columbia Tower Firefighter Stairclimb. This requires climbing 69 flights of stairs in 60 lbs. of bunker gear and breathing apparatus. I am strong, have great endurance, and can summit Mt. Baker. I am very capable of doing hard things. The pace that was set by the guides was based on their poor choices, and I would have completed the ascent had it been more reasonable. I was with one guide, Grace, and with every step she took, I had to rush. I could not perform the suggested rest step or scuff step techniques she taught us, and I said this to her repeatedly, with her only saying the same thing in response. I had to rush to the point of slipping due to not being able to set my feet firmly in the snow. I asked her many times to go at a pace I could do safely, and she replied each time that I had to keep pace with her. The other group was never more than 100 feet ahead of us, but they refused to slow down and blamed me for being behind schedule. The guide's behavior demonstrated no desire to get me to the summit from the beginning and did nothing but degrade my abilities by demanding that I go faster and singling me out "to be honest about how I was feeling." The treatment I received was nothing like my program on Mt. Rainier. I ended up pushing myself over and over but was so worn down by the guide's remarks toward me that I broke down emotionally. The guides made it obvious that they never believed in me, which was a significant blow to my confidence. Their comments to the group and directly to me made me feel inferior, criticized, and put down. It was obvious to me that they did not have the ability to understand or relate to me, their customer. The constant berating for going too slow was unbearable. Their choices to start a day early and a few hours too late, demanded that I push myself so hard at the beginning of the climb that I was forced to quit. Your guides, Grace and Lael, did not have people skills. I did not doubt their climbing skills, but their decision-making and customer service were seriously lacking. I expected more from this company when I signed up for my second trip, especially since it was all women. In the end, it was their mistakes of changing the program to summit a day early and of waking up and starting extremely late that prevented me from summiting on Wednesday. This was a trip of a lifetime for me, and no consideration from your guides ruined it. In the end, Grace even said that she did not care if she summited and was ready to be done with the season. If the "goal is to give each of our customers the best experience we possibly can, regardless of the weather, route conditions, or time of year," you have missed the mark by a long shot on this trip. Their response: Thanks for the note. I appreciate you passing along your feedback regarding the Mt Baker program. We have now had a chance to debrief with your guides about your concerns: First the itinerary: it is typical for the guides to choose the better of the two available summit days (Day 2 or Day 3) to climb. Typically, the guides are more selective with the climbers they take to the top on Day 3 because not only do the climbers need to return to basecamp in good fashion, but they also then need to descend all the way to the trailhead. On top of that, a summit attempt on Day 3 means an earlier start time to accommodate the longer day, meaning less sleep the night before the climb. Your guides selected Day 2 as your summit day to accommodate a decent sleep and a better opportunity to summit. You noted other groups starting earlier than your group, and while I can't speak to the nuances of their decision making, Lael confirmed that those teams descended all the way to the trailhead on their summit day. Second the pace: Lael and Grace are both part of
