About this property

Crystal Mountain Chalet

Welcome to Greenwater and the Crystal Mountain Chalet. Located about 20 miles into the forest east of Enumclaw, the Greenwater area is in the middle of Norse Peak, Clearwater, Mount Rainier, William O Douglas, Tatoosh and the Glacier View Wilderness areas.

The Crystal Mountain Chalet is a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom chalet style cabin. Tall firs frame the cabin and vaulted ceiling windows fill it with light. Nestled within Crystal River Ranch in Greenwater, the Crystal Mountain Chalet is set up with a large and open living area, bar style seating in the kitchen, as well as ample sleeping for 9.

The CRR community is located about 18 miles from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort. Perfect location for weekend ski/snowboarding getaways in the winter, or easy access to hiking/horsebacking riding/mountain biking and gondola rides in the summer. Also located about 30 miles from Sunrise, a popular destination in Mount Rainier National Park.

CRR is located on an elk refuge so it is common to see a local herd of elk wander the community... along the roads, in yards, or perhaps most frequently on the lawn of the community center. There are only a handful of stores in the Greenwater area, including one dining/tavern option that is located about 3 miles from the cabin. Enumclaw is a scenic 20 miles away where you can find large grocery stores and several restaurants and shops.

The cabin is furnished with linens, towels, blankets and a well stocked kitchen.

Mountain adventures begin here! Hike, bike, ski, repeat! At the end of the day warm up in the great room next to the propane fireplace or relax in your own private hot tub.

Great Location, Community and Ammenities
My family of 6 had an amazing trip at Mt Rainer and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was conveniently located to the entrance of Mt Rainer and the community offered privacy, trails, access to the river and opportunities to see wildlife. The hosts were amazing as they were quick to respond to questions and arrange an early check-in so that we could grab groceries on the way. Our kids favorite aspect was the large hottub. It was a great cabin for our family!

Disappointed
We were a little disappointed in the house. Most of this is probably related to the cleaning service. Just a general lack of cleaning such as, cob webs around all the lamps, the towels and wash cloths smell soured from probably sitting in the washing machine to long then drying. Deck is covered in needles (which I expect some, it’s a cabin surrounded by trees) but it looks like it’s been ages since being swept. We arrived to notice several holes in the deck(Safety concerns). Expired products in the pantry, old expired eggs in the refrigerator, and the thing that got us the most was the first morning was we started the oven warming to make some biscuits that we had bought and after a bit noticed a strong stench and opened the oven and somebody had left a flank steak in a glass baking dish that was was so rank and molded. The upstairs balcony rail is VERY dangerous! I would not trust any small kid up there because it is so rotten and about to give way. This is a real safety concern. I’m also very disappointed that there is no air conditioning and there was no mention of not having A/C in the description of this place. Something like that should most definitely be in the description. It was very warm in the house. Also half of the blinds do not open and close. They do raise though. Looks like the toilets haven’t been cleaned in a month. Overall the place is very close to Mount Rainier and handy. But I was expecting more isolation due to the pictures provided in Vrbo.

Cabin in the woods
The cabin was very nice and had everything we needed. Although we never used the hottub, we planned on it. It was a wonderful thought and I'm sure we would have loved it! :) I think what I enjoyed most was watching the elk walk through our yard and with the big picture windows, it was an easy view.

Overall wonderful stay! Upon our arrival we were met with grazing wildlife in the cabin community. It was the perfect serene location to do wedding photos, and host a very small ceremony. The cabin was perfect size, and i will definitely be back for the next snowy season, to sit by the large windows and watch the wildlife while the adventurers go skiing. This cabin has it all, including a Nintendo 64, with zelda, and every board game under the sun! I personally dont have kids, but this is thw cabin for sure if you do, they have everything for little ones, from a crib, to toys for at the community park just a short walk away! Thank you soooooo much! We will be back!

Great Crystal Cabin
Had a great short weekend stay. We didn't use all the amenities, but would have if we were there longer. Great place for 2 families if needed. Short drive to the mountain, and super short drive to Greenwater for a beer and ice cream. The hosts were super communicative and had lots of details about the house and nearby. We would definitely come again!!!

About the host

Hosted by Michaela and Mark

Host profile image
We are Seattle transplants from Texas and Nebraska. The Navy brought Mark to the Northwest and travel nursing brought Michaela. We fell in love with the mountains and the sailing out here. We also really appreciate the lack of humidity that we experienced in our home states. Mark spent some time on the east coast attending Carnegie Melon University and Michaela is a proud University of Iowa alum!

Why they chose this property

We both come from small towns in the country and grew up with free rein to explore. While we love living in Seattle and are hooked on Washington State, we wanted the opportunity to get our kids out into the mountains and forests that we have grown to love so much. This home gives us the chance to get them out hiking and exploring!

We chose this particular area because of its proximity to Crystal Mountain. It's our favorite mountain in the Seattle area, with lots of challenging terrain and a split upper and lower mountain, allowing expert skiers to get up in the tough stuff and newer riders to enjoy the greens and blues that help them improve. It's a great hill, with some of the most amazing views in the world.

What makes this property unique

Greenwater is a short drive from Seattle. While Seattle rarely receives snow, Greenwater is a nice escape to get your "snow fix". Summers are warmer than Seattle and it rains less frequent. You can drive a short distance to multiple trailheads, or you can just step out the front door and use one of walking trails running throughout the CRR community, one along the White river. Not only is this a great home base for groups wanting a cozy getaway, but it is perfect for families. Kids will love the bunk beds and there is also a mini crib for the really little ones.
