a riverfront retreat nestles on the Cowlitz River

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. The Cowlitz River Cottage is perfectly situated to explore the best of Pacific North West mountain life. Easy access to White Pass Ski Area (20 min), and Mt. Rainier National Park (Stevens Canyon Entrance, 17 min). Golfing and swimming pool just a mile away for the warm summer days. Come back to your home base and listen to the river running just steps away. It’s never a bad time to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy living tiny.

-23 ft loft with two twin beds that can easily be pushed together for another guest couple if desired.

- Eat in countertop
-butcher block counters
- loads of kitchen cabinet space
-air conditioning provides much needed comfort on our hot summer days or you can open the windows to hear the river and get the breeze.

Come be amazed at a how this Tiny House feels. Definitely far from tiny. Family of four fits comfortably!

Perfect getaway!
Wow, I couldn’t of picked a more perfect place for a weekend solo getaway. It was just what I needed to step away from the grind and find some peace. Amazing tiny house with all the accommodations, and the best view in Packwood. Will return!

What more do you need!
This listing caught my eye from the moment I saw it earlier this year because of the riverfront and the mountain views and it did not disappoint at all. In fact, our stay may have converted my wife and I to a tiny home lifestyle after this past weekend. This place felt so much like a home with such awesome attention to detail. It was well worth the commute to Rainier for a couple days of hiking and the little town of Packwood was an amazing escape from our busy city life in Texas. Andrea was a perfect communicator and we’re thankful this was an option for our trip to WA. We’d absolutely recommend this listing and we would love to stay again one day!

Great Stay!
This was a wonderful stay! The view was out of this world! Everything was exactly as described! We even had a herd of Elk walk down the road in front of the cabin one morning! So neat! The only thing I would recommend if you're planning to stay in a tiny house (any not just this one) is that you understand that there is limited water usage. I didn't realize that and require long steamy showers when on vacation to help with chronically dry sinuses. I also didn't think about the loft being straight up a hard ladder. 100% as described, but it was too challenging for my daughter with mobility issues. Overall I wouldn't change a single thing about this place! It was beautiful, communication was fantastic, and location was irreplaceable.

River Heaven
The inside was just perfect. The decor and cuteness is so tastefully done. The overall feeling inside was cozy and dreamy. Being on the river added a special majestic feeling to the entire place. It had everything we needed and we loved every minute of our stay.

Perfection!
You will not be disappointed! From the location to the beautiful decor our stay was perfect. After long hikes at Mt Rainier it was so cozy to come back to and enjoy the river view and sounds for the evening. Beds are very comfortable, water pressure is great, and the setup is just right to give everyone space. Best tiny home we’ve ever experienced!

We loved returning to the tiny house by the river after a long day of skiing. Everything was "just right" and we very much enjoyed our trip. We plan to return when the sun is out and we can dip our feet in the water!

A Must Stay!
This tiny home is magic. It is incredibly well thought through. Four of us never felt cramped or in each others' way. The home has many small amenities and surprises; it feels better stocked than most other and larger homes I've stayed in! And Andrea is so great at communicating. We really felt pampered by the place! And then there's the location. Just beautiful and so serene. Not far from town or from Mt Rainier NP (always go to the Steven Creek entrance!). Three things to note: 1) The swimming holes and pool aren't as close as you might think. 2) It can get quite windy in the afternoon, so pack warm clothes. 3) The neighbors keep lights on very close to the home at night, so don't expect complete darkness to see the stars. Despite all this, the location was simply beautiful. We loved the place and would surely think of visiting again.
