    Nice quiet area to get away. The beds were pretty uncomfortable but enjoyed the deck outside and hot-tub.

    Rivers Edge Cabin view from the river.

    My wife and I stayed at the River's Edge cottage for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our getaway. The cabin was clean and comfortable and came equipped with just about anything you might need (except paper towels, napkins or tissues oddly). The view is amazing with Copper Creek and the Nisqually both running within sight as well as the mountain range. Hot tub a little ways from the porch but clean and definitely hot! In a small neighborhood but the cabin is situated in a way that you hardly notice anyone and you feel somewhat secluded. We hope to return and enjoy another stay in the near future.

    Arrived 30min AFTER check in at the Huckleberry Cottage. Not impressed with the NON privacy close neighbors. Went to check the hot tub since this is the MAIN reason for our stay and the cover was coated with pine needles and dirt. We open the cover and there is multiple pieces of parts laying inside with dirt. We tried to get connected to the WiFi with the code they provided and were unsuccessful after multiple attempts we ended up having to leave to get cell service to notify the owner. We were unable to reach her so we notified the second number provided for emergencies. Felicia stated maybe someone got in the house after the cleaning crew was there and she would try to get ahold of the owner to notify her and have her call us back. By this time we were already heading home when she called us back. We simply requested a refund as the hot tub was clearly not cleaned, leaving us to wonder what else had not been cleaned. Plus with Felicia's comment about (maybe someone getting in the house after the cleaning crew) makes us uncomfortable and leads us to believe they don't change the key code after each occupancy. Tammi the owner said over the phone that her cleaning crew hadn't gotten to clean the tub yet and she would send someone over right now. We told her we were already on our way home and would just like a refund. She said she could give us $50.00 back. We arranged childcare and requested time off work for this stay. Our check in time was 4:00PM. We shouldn't have to wait and watch for someone to clean the cabin and fix the hot tub during our time which starts at 4PM. We paid $215.00 for privacy and relaxation and this was FAR from it! Tammi was also rude over the phone and hung up on us. Very unprofessional business owner. On our way out we stopped and spoke with a Eatonville police officer who advised us to take this matter to small claims court. 4/9/18- Editing to respond to the owners reply: #1) we did not curse or yell at Tammi or Felicia. #2) After she first offered $50 refund, my husband did say we either want a full refund or we will go court and she hung up. Again; no yelling or cursing. #3) if there was a landline, we didnt see it or try to look for it because most cabins don't have landlines nor do most houses in this century have landlines anymore anyways. Point is the WiFi wasn't working with the CODE they provided. #4) Felicia stated maybe someone was in the house AFTER the cleaning lady?!?! Again made us uncomfortable, there is NO other lock on inside except key pad! Not very safe in a sketchy neighborhood. #5) yes in this day and age it is appropriate to take pictures and videos of the products you purchase especially when there is a damage fee and the company has your credit card information! Who's to say they won't turn around and say you damaged something after you leave when you in fact didn't! That's why we video and take pictures of everything- why else would someone do that? Because we enjoy renting cabins, spending money ahead of time reserving a place that we expect to look like the pictures provided on the website only to be mislead by the Close unprivate neighbors and broken uncleaned hot tub! #6) DEEP IN THE FOREST?? Not at all! It's in a neighborhood with trees! If the cleaning lady had arrived between 11:30am (checkout time) and prior to 4pm (our check in time) and cleaned the hot tub then there would not have been that much debris on the cover! And let's say she did clean it (even though they admitted they didn't) why is your hot tub jets popping out in less than 4hrs?? #7) we have documentation of the times of our phone calls to this owner, and what she said was wrong; we arrived around 4:30pm, our first phone call after we left to get service was 4:44pm with no answer, called Felicia at 4:45pm, then Tammi got back to us at 4:54pm. #8) we did not book last minute! I have my receipt that states we booked THURSDAY! Check in was SUNDAY! If that's not enough time to clean your cabin then maybe you shouldn't be in business. #10542) A good business owner would have accepted their mistake and owned up to it instead of replying trying to defend themselves, a good business owner would have offered to refund our money for our time loss and a good business owner would have offered to make things right! I'll let all you yelpers know that she does NOT let you write reviews on her website page, or Facebook page! A good business would offer that.

    I never write reviews but I had to on this one. I am happy to see great reviews for Rainier Cottages. We have enjoyed our stay and the amenities are great. The view is amazing and the cabin is cozy. Directions and instructions were easy to follow. I have to laugh at these bad reviews though. I hope people reading these disregard most of these. Most are very unnecessary: * Wifi was spotty? - Lol and....your staying in the woods. Play board games with your kids. Go outside and roast some marshmallows. Play in the river. Sit out side in the hot tub and enjoy the scenery. Sad that lives revolve around wifi. Oh and the wifi works great as I type this review. * Had to drive to town to use my phone. - there is a landline in the cottage. * No instructions on how to turn on the TV? - hmmm can't even comment on this. * Wasn't even told of there will be shampoo and they have soft scrub? - Why would you even assume they would supply your beauty supplies and even know your preference? Come on now. Your telling me you never thought of bringing your own stuff you use every day at home. * Pine needles? Please note that when you stay here you are in the middle of the woods. Please know you will see lots of pine needles, dirt and maybe some wildlife poop! * Carbon monoixide is no joke and I am happy to see that Rainier Cottages took it seriously! Please consider these cottages! So beautiful and fun for the kids. We will be back this summer.

    We stayed at the Serenity Cabin 09/11-09/12. It is this adorable little A-frame cabin just a few minutes outside of the National Park entrance. Other reviewers are correct. It's in a neighborhood so you have neighbors but it was pretty forested. I didn't feel at all like people could see me and I couldn't hear anyone outside. The notes said We wouldn't have cell service but we actually had full LTE with Verizon so never even connected to the WiFi. The cabin was clean and comfortable and I felt like there wasn't anything I was looking for that I couldn't find as far as like kitchen utensils etc. Plus little extras like the wood stove was prepped with some kindling and paper already and they had bird feeders with extra seed you could put out. I could really go on. I don't have anything bad to say about this place. I hope one day it is in the cards where I can stay here again.

    Out back seating area. Nicely shaded but still get some sun.

    We stayed at the Mountain Peek Cabin. This cabin has so many relaxing places to it! A sweet book reading nook or where my child napped nook. Comfy squishy couches. Upstairs loft that has a VCR player! (DVD's too but the VCR had me nostalgic) upstairs deck for chilling from the heat. Outside had many chairs and a fire pit. We never had an issue with Wifi and watched movies on the Netflix & Roku provided. The only thing I didn't like was that the kitchen had a few dirty spots when we first arrived but I can't give four stars for faulty house keeper. I cleaned what was dirty and poof it was perfect! The cabin was great and we would stay again! Perfect location!

    The "mineral water" hot tub that's totally "safe to drink"! Give me a break!!

The cabin was fully equipped with everything you could need, even the most adorable popcorn machine. The cabin was clean, new, high quality, and the perfect place for some much needed rest and relaxation. The hot tub right outside was so beautiful with twinkle lights around it.

The log-hewn furniture feels solid, the lampshades were whimsical, even the coasters and decorations were on theme: bears in the woods. The kitchen gadgets were high end. The teas and coffees provided were not cheap standard shelf fillers, rather thoughtfully prepared and chosen. The cooking oil provided was obviously selected for quality and health. Add to this excellent electrical work in the cabins, cooling fans, lots of hooks for wet towels from the hot tub, support for WiFi, and you feel as if all possible eventualities --including power outages-- have been given forethought and workarounds clearly communicated to guests. It's the ethic of care for the wellbeing of the guest that had me impressed right off the bat, and this made the exquisite nature setting on the creekside feel seamless and restful. When someone has figured out all the details, you can go ahead and just relax at the cabin. My parents visiting from abroad had a great time here. All we did was just relax and enjoy the cabin. The deer and the blue jays were a special treat. This place is doing it right. You can never go wrong with staying here. However, it is a little expensive and there are no such things as cancellations. So it does seem hard to get a booking because it is so popular here. And I myself would worry about how to book when no cancellations are allowable. The cabins are slightly compact also, can be a bit tight if you pack in the full allowable guest load. Am I thinking of going back? Heck yeah

    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
