Alexander Inn was the perfect place to go for a quiet personal retreat. The room was small but well appointed with a refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave. This was very much appreciated since the dining out options were very slim. The staff person was very friendly and helpful. It was nice to be able to check in before the appointed time. The backyard was quiet and peaceful and I felt well entertained by the enormous trout in their little lake. I would definitely go back.

Be prepared to not find anyone at the office, but someone will show up once you call their number and leave a message. Very old mansion that needs much TLC. Staff once accessible, are very friendly and helpful. Canceling a reservation is very difficult, as they demand a 14 day notice. The cabin we were given had a lot of standard amenities, but just not enough and very small.

We stayed at their Salal Cabin which is brand new & sits back in the woods. It is so adorable & comfortable. It has a fantastic heater system that keeps you the ideal temperature. The furnishings are so lovely. The reception staff was so kind & even provided us breakfast for the next day since there are no food establishments close by. The property is so beautiful with a pond & seating area to relax & enjoy the ducks & fish jumping. We will absolutely be returning. It is so close to Mt. Rainier entrance; we got into the park in minutes.
