Staff is very helpful if you're looking for something. It's a mountain town grocery store - don't expect a giant Whole Foods and you'll be good. This is perfect for things you forgot to bring camping or didn't have room for in your cooler on the way up.

This was an incredible surprise to see the selection of bourbons they had. Very helpful staff and…read moreKris was absolutely fantastic! They had a number of rod allocated bourbons that just happened to be at the market.

We grabbed a couple pieces of steak, corn, mushrooms and fried chicken for our lodge that we were staying at 5 miles down. We were able to grab what we needed for dinner and breakfast. The cashiers were very friendly.

Would I have ever guessed that some of the best damn pizza I'd eat all summer would be in a spot…read morewith $10 showers and free camping? No. But here we are, and I'm better for it. Avalon and Kelly are the kind of folks that make you forget you've been eating peanut butter out of a tortilla for a week. Legit customer service. Friendly, fast, and fun without being fake. They serve up pizza that slaps. Each slice lands like a ghost from your past, hot, messy, and better than it has any right to be. And they don't stop at pizza. There's other hot food on deck too. Real meals, not just hiker hallucinations. The vibe? Immaculate. Not just "someone waved a mop near it" clean. This place actually shines. One guy in overalls, out there like a quiet legend, keeps everything looking cared for with steady, no-nonsense grace. I never caught his name, but I hope someone is writing him love songs. Respect. The perks? Free camping. Ten dollar hot showers. Laundry. Cold beer specials. When the main toilet's locked, there are 24-hour porta-potties. Because even when things get rough, they've got your back. And the prices? Totally reasonable, even for someone who's been surviving off trail mix and moral victories. If you're rolling through and don't stop here, you're cheating yourself. This place doesn't just feed you. It forgives you, hydrates you, hands you a slice, and tells you it's okay to keep going.

I'd been here before while hiking or skiing and thought it was a great place…read more Last week I discovered I had a flat as I left for home from skiing - went in to ask who they would suggest calling. The woman behind the counter scared up a couple guys who helped me and FIXED THE FLAT. OMG. I was so, so appreciative. I'd come back to the store and their parking lot because I knew if I had to wait a long time I'd be safe. I never expected this kind of care an community. The best. From here on out when I am back and forth either to or via White Pass I'll be making a point of stopping and being a customer.

Great people, great items for locals, great experiences…read more I have loved this store ever since I first came into the Ashford area. I am so grateful for you all being here and saving me many trips to put all up and saving me a ton of costs compared to eatonville

A good stop for last minute needs on the way to Mount Rainier. We stopped here and grabbed a gallon…read moreof water for $3 and we're pleasantly surprised to find a popcorn machine inside, so we picked up a bag of that too. The man at the cash register was kind and helped us avoid over paying with credit card charges vs cash. And I have to say, the little town around here is super cute. They have converted the railroad cars into restaurants and hotel rooms. I'll always remember our little stop here.

This is such a cute little mountain market! We've gone here a couple times over different trips to…read moreAshford and it's conveniently located to where we normally stay. They have fun little gifts as well as a good snack selection. You can also get ice cream here which is fun. We usually come by here to grab drinks for the cabin and that was the case again this time. We were able to grab milk and they have a nice selection of wine as well. All of the cashiers that we've encountered have also been really nice. Overall this is a great little market stop if you're in need of some odds and ends when in Ashford/Elbe!

This is a fun stop! There are so many cute things to look at in this shop. We browsed for quite a…read morewhile and found lots of souvenirs. They have everything from clothing to jewelry to chocolate to wine and lots of unique trinkets as well. I loved the trains inside, especially the one with the Dachshund. If you need a gift, you would be hard pressed not to find one here. We made sure to get a yummy ice cream cone and eat it on the Bigfoot benches out front. They also have a giant bigfoot statue that you can take a photo with. This is a definite must do if you're in the area.

I am a big fan of liquor stores and the liquor they have inside. Liquor is the delicious juice of…read morethe feeling good fruit, and boy howdy does the Packwood Liquor store have that stuff in spades. They have vodka, citrus vodka, marshmallow vodka, cotton candy vodka, fudge brownie vodka, caramel swirl latte vodka, birthday cake vodka and Par-D-Shatz spiced liquor to name just a few. They also have other stuff like candy and smokes, which puts them right at the top of the list of liquor stores in Packwood as far as I'm concerned. If you've never tried liquor from a store before, do yourself a favor and try the liquor from this one. Its top notch.

Okay, I may be biased because of the kitty but having visited a handful of remote areas, I've…read morelearned to appreciate the essentiality of the general store. They're stores that "generally sell all the things". This shop definitely achieves that. The day before, we were hoping to go to a grocery store but of course there aren't any. We happened upon a "market" which was nothing more than a gas station mini mart that didn't carry much at all. I had lectured my cousin at that point that the place to pick is always the General Store. One day later, we came here. It was a bit musky and run down looking, but the lady working there was super nice and the shop itself had TONS OF STUFF. Need pvc piping? This is your spot! Need random fishing supplies, you can get that here! Missing your pet cat at home? Come here and meet Samsung and make up for lost cuddles! Okay okay, in all seriousness though, we came here for a resupply on foods. We were able to purchase ground beef, pasta sauces and organic pasta! There was also a huge selection of ice cream and ice cream bars too. Not too much for the vegans, but that's to be expected. HOWEVER there were two instant noodles that were vegan/vegetarian-friendly, which was more than enough to make me happy. I didn't buy anything but was thoroughly impressed with my exploration of their curation of "general offerings". There were hatchets, ice scrapers, mops, cleaning supplies, random souvenirs and pretty much anything you can think of that you might need to get when staying in a cabin for a few days. One bummer was they sold out of eggs, but at least they carry them! Did I mention you need to visit because of the kitty? She's the cutest and had an adorable bed set up in one of the aisles. Sorry I didn't get a pic of it but just look at the kitty, Samsung!

I love old general stores like this. The old wood planks give this place so much character, and…read morejust imagine the stores those walls could tell if they talked! The general store itself carries a wide variety of items from food, to pet essentials, to ice cream, to crayons and pvc pipes. If you need it, chances are you will at least find some kind of compromise. While shopping I experienced a wonderful surprise when the sweetest kitty came walking up to me. I was curious if he was a cradling kitty, lap kitty, or only touch me when I want to be touched kind of kitty. If you're a cat or animal person, you know exactly what I mean. To my extreme delight she allowed me to pick her up and walk around the store with her. Her purring was so loud you could probably hear it on the other side of the store. Samsung made my heart so happy that day! Come for what you need, and stay to give this sweet girl love! You will not be sorry.

Butter Butte Bites was a cute pit stop in Packwood! We went in looking to grab lunch, and were…read moreimmediately impressed by the cheese and pantry selection. The staff members were super friendly and gave us many samples, including some great cheeses and huckleberry honey. Lunch options were limited, and my friend and I both opted for the Gyro Bowl. This was solid, but not amazing. The bowls were pre-made, so we couldn't make any modifications, but the veggies did taste fresh. We also got the cheese curd sampler, which we really liked. The flavors were pretty subtle, but my favorite was the Cajun. There was no seating inside, but they did have a few picnic tables out in front. Would return to try more items!

Customer service and respect is everything. If you want to be charged over a dollar for a card fee…read moreof an item under five dollars shop here. Also if you want to be verbally attacked by the owner or manager who doesn't even know how to pronounce the Gyro meat she is selling go there. Furthermore, when I explain to her, it is illegal to charge when somebody is using a debit card. Her response to me was everyone else is doing it and if you have a problem with it too bad. This was absolutely the most disrespectful place that I have ever been in. I literally left the item that I was going to purchase at the counter and refused to purchase. Absolutely obnoxious and rude. If this is the way Packwood businesses are going to operate I would highly suggest never coming to this business
