Almost Paradise Lodging

Stayed in the Wildflower cabin last September and would definitely recommend anyone to stay here! Close to Mt Rainer with a stocked kitchen, gas fireplace, and wifi. It rained on one of the last days my husband and I were there and we were happy to take a day to relax in such a beautiful cabin!

OMG. Been here only 3 hours and we are completely in love with it. The owner is so thoughtful. You literally don’t have to bring anything with you, except your clothes & food. She has pots, pans, serveware, (tin foil even) EVERYTHING. I wish we could stay here the week. We are staying in the Wildflower & have already discussed making this a yearly tradition. If I could give 6 stars I would. Completely exceeds our standards. It was a little hard to find our specific cabin, but we love how secluded it is.

My husband and I just spent the weekend there and did not want to leave. Carol was so friendly. Meeting Dugan, her German Shepard, was awesome. We were so sad to leave this morning. We stayed at the Sunrise Cabin with the sauna and Jacuzzi. Loved both and after hiking all day it was so nice to come back and relax in both. The bed was so comfy and the well stocked kitchen was amazing. We stopped for groceries on the way up. Comfy robes, slippers and fresh soft towels were so nice. The bed was so comfy and loved the handmade quilt. Carol had tons of movies to choose from, something for everyone. It was quiet, peaceful and much needed for us. The basket of breakfast goodies and snacks in the fridge were a great touch. Loved that we didn’t have to worry about salt and pepper, cookware, plates and utensils. The kitchen was well equipped. The shower had a double shower head which is nice and relaxing. Theirs books to read, magazines and games to play. Hubby beat me at checkers. Loved having a gas grill and a fire ring complete w/​an outdoor picnic table. Carol really gives her guests privacy and you definitely do not have that feeling of being right up on someone. Cannot wait to go back. Hubby and I are going to try a different cabin next time. We were so sad to leave. Best romantic place to stay by far!!!

What a wonderful getaway place to stay and reconnect. With several different cabins available, we’ll be back to try out another.
The fireplace, hot tub and courteous staff (and dog), it was relaxing and complete.

One of the best places i have ever stayed. It was extremely clean and everything we needed was there. We also felt that the price was great. Just be aware that the paradise and sunrise guesthouses are not separate cabins but all connected to the house. This isn’t clear on the website, but we weren’t disappointed.

We stayed at the Woodland cabin. Absolutely amazing.
The cabin is stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Just run in to the local market for perishables and you never have to leave the cabin again! Hot tub, chess board, DVD player, coffee maker, toaster, modern stove and oven, microwave, and even a washer and dryer; there’s nothing you’ll miss from home … except wifi or cell reception, but that’s part of what you’re getting away from, isn’t it?
From our cabin, we were a short five-​minute drive outside of the park: perfect proximity to one of this country’s most breathtaking National Parks.
We stayed three days and never once saw Carol… The proprietors of Almost Paradise Lodging have great respect for your privacy, but the front desk and their friendly dog, Dugan, are always available should you have additional requests.
Perfect in every way; highly recommended!

If you are looking for a romantic getaway, look no further than Almost Paradise Lodging! My husband and I have been fortunate enough to visit 3 times, and each stay has been incredible!
The property is so private and quiet, and gorgeous to boot!
We love that you have your own hot tub, as well as double shower heads in the bathroom! The service is amazing, and Doogan the dog is so friendly and fun to play with!
I highly recommend this place for the atmosphere, price, quaint charm, and care given to those who visit!

This was the cutest, coziest and charming cabin to stay in! My boyfriend and I came to celebrate our 6-​month anniversary and wanted to get away and spend quality time together. We went snowshoeing at one of the parks at Mt. Rainier and were stoked to get in our private hot tub and sit by the gas fireplace in this darling cabin. The bed was super comfy, we had matching robes and slippers, a perfect amount of space and the coolest dog to play with. Unfortunately we only stayed one night, but we’ll definitely be back!

I almost don’t want to share Almost Paradise, because it is, truly, almost paradise.
We had the misfortune to visit Mt. Rainier during an absolutely appalling week of rain, but went on 8+ miles hikes anyway every day. We would arrive «home» each night to the Rainier Cabin, and gratefully put our sopping boots, etc., before the gas fireplace to dry. Then we’d dash out to the barbecue to grill at little food in the rain, and then eat dinner by the fire. After dinner, we’d warm up in own private hot tub (which, thank goodness, had a roof). And then we’d head off to bed, our sleep punctuated only by crickets. Almost paradise indeed.
The owner is one of the nicest people on the planet, and each morning, she silently delivers a basket of breakfast goodies. Each item (cereal, etc) is carefully portioned out into its own little container, making you feel like a lucky second grader, pulling out special lunch treats at school. It was so delightful. She is also possessed of an endearingly friendly dog – I think his name as Dugan – who often waits by your door in the hopes that you might, just might, throw him a stick.
One other selling point: our cabin had a microwave and fridge, so we saved a fortune by cooking instead of having to dine out every night.

Great little place close to Mt. Rainier. Cozy, private and makes a perfect little basecamp for adventures at Mt. Rainier. Each unit has it’s own hot tub, which is perfect after a day of hiking. We stopped on the way and brought wine, beer and snacks and enjoyed a perfect evening under the stars. Wish we had planned to stay longer. We’ll definitely be back.

If what you are looking for is a quaint, cozy, comfortable and clean cabin — you have met your match.
Located about 3 miles from the Nisqually entrance of Mt. Rainier, this group of cabins was very easy to find (via the proprietor’s great directions), even in the dark.
My husband and I stayed in the Rainier cabin, which was a perfect amount of space for two people. Equipped with an amazing fireplace, small kitchen (with a microwave and toaster), and a very comfortable bed. Additionally, you have your own private hot tub just one step away from the cabin’s door, under a covered porch. Even though it was probably 27 degrees, we opted to take a dip, using the bathrobes and slippers provided to shield us for those two feet or so. :) The cabin was extremely warm, clean, and fulfilled all of our needs (and more).
I would highly recommend this for someone who is looking for some respite from a long day on Mt. Rainier, or just someone looking for a weekend away from the regular bustle.

My girlfriend/​now fiancée and I visited Almost Paradise for two days and nights this past week. It was very private, and one of the closest rental places to the Nisqually entrance to Mt. Rainier. There is not much in terms of services up in Ashford, so we packed alot of food, etc. The «cabins» also came equipped with many essentials we needed to cook and relax. The place was nice and clean. There was a cool cat and German Shepard that hang out, belonging to the owner.
Though we expected to be in a seperate cabin on the property the nice room we stayed in was attached to the main house. We did not see any cabins. Anyway, we had privacy, our own jacuzzi and sauna! And barbecue.
It was super chilly outside, so we spent much of the time inside. The place heated up so quick. I was wearing shorts and flip flops like it was summer. We spent quite a bit of time there, and made a couple trips up to Paradise on one day and back to Narada Falls the next day.
