Unable to get into the facility

We never received notification of how to access the facility. After waiting for a email or call, we waited longer. We attempted to call the Evolve Team ( Todd ) however left several messages with no return call. ***Finally we guessed the right code to access the facility. Clearly communication and return calls need to be addressed.

Nice Cottage

The home had everything you needed. Close to town and short drive to Rainier. Looks to be newly remodeled. We saw elk in the backyard everyday. While we didn't use it, the backyard had a nice covered deck, grill and fire pit.

Great stay!

We love everything about this place, it was perfect for our small family. The beds were super comfy with two great bathrooms. We were happy to see a nice updated laundry room with all we needed to get caught up on our trip. We enjoyed hiking Rainer during the day and coming back to a warm dinner ready in the crockpot each evening. Seeing the elk each morning and evening was a bonus! Loved watching movies at night and playing games - such a wonderful experience!

Great Location to Visit Mount Ranier and a beautiful view of Buttes from the backyard

The house is lovely and well designed to make the visitor feel pampered. The bedrooms are comfortable and have extra sheets and blankets. The bathrooms have everything you need, including stacks of fluffy thick towels. There is a porch with seating and a grill. You can watch two buttes in the background. Elk sometimes come near the back fence. The kitchen has great appliances and everything you need, including a coffee maker. There are videos, games, and books in addition to streaming tv. The visitor center in town is worth a visit before you visit Mt.Ranier or go hiking. The welcome book the hosts left is also very helpful. The quiet neighborhood location is not far from town, with a grocery store and several friendly restaurants. There is even an auto repair and two gas stations.

Waking up with Elks

Our son Jacob loved everything about this house, especially mornings when Elks were behind back yard and kinda had a breakfast with us or we had breakfast with them? 😁 This is a place to stay if you like to get away from busy city and just relax, do your hiking , explore! Drive to Mnt. Rainier wasn’t that long as we thought. Silver Falls just 20 min away. Kitchen has everything you need. And if you stay don’t forget to visit local Brewery! Packwood is a small town, but it has what you need for vacation! Definitely recommend to stay here. We loved this clean, cozy and inviting house.

Lovely and Well Equipped with a view of a Butte and sometimes elk

What a lovely location. Sit on the back porch and watch two buttes and if you are lucky see some elk. The house was beautifully and thoughtfully designed for the visitor. The appliances worked well. The beds were comfy. There were fans for white noise and circulation. It was a quiet neighborhood very close to the downtown. There were books, videos, and games available. There was a coffee maker with filter available. The visitor center in town is an amazing resource. They can tell you what trails are open or closed. Mt. Rainer is close to the house. The welcome book left by the owner is very helpful. There is a grocery store in town just a few minutes away.

Amazing Cabin

This was by far one of the best vacation cabins I have ever stayed at. The cabin was packed with things to do such as board games and sitting by the fire pit and enjoying the beautiful view of the mountains. I also appreciated that this cabin was very child friendly. We will be back again in the future.

Packwood House

We had a very nice stay . We did have a couple problems . The propane was out in the BBQ and heater on back porch . Both were needed , the neighbor was very nice and he came over and saved the day with giving us his 5 gallon tank to hook up . Then we also had a bout 2 rolls of TP for the bathrooms , we all had to add to get through the weekend. We were 6 people and the amount left was just not enough . It took us an extra 30 minutes to get out of the home . Check out should be 1100 am , as this is a vacation and 10am is too early to be able to cook, eat , and be able to pack up . We did LOVE the home and would love to rent it again , just those 2 minor stock issues
