This property was so well appointed & peaceful. We really enjoyed having the forest right in the backyard. We love the fire pit in the back yard. We purchased the wood from a neighbor down the street for 5. The hot tub was the perfect touch after our long 3 days of driving and after hiking in Mt Rainier National Park. Everything was perfect.

This home was amazing! The host has everything so well organized with visuals, QR codes, and a very helpful welcome book. The accommodations were very comfortable with nice touches such as items for pets, laundry supplies, etc. The owners communication was the best I've experienced with VRBO. Highly recommend Das Waldhaus and would rent it again in a heart beat!

This home is really nice and sits on a beautiful private property. Everything inside and out is well done and comfortable. It’s a little bit of a drive from town, but still a great spot for a couple days of exploring the national park.

Das Waldhaus was perfect for our family of four while visiting Rainier. The cabin was a great size, well-stocked in the kitchen for all our needs, and we loved having the hot tub after our two days of challenging hiking! The hosts were very responsive and helpful and we honestly could not have been happier with our experience! Highly recommend!

Calming and Relaxing

Even through we were in Packwood for a short weekend. The house was wonderful and in a great location tucked in the woods. The backyard had a hot tub and was quite secluded. This had such a home-like feel during our stay. We can't wait to come back!
