Though we’ve just started to revel in spring, summer will be here before we know it. If you’re longing for an alpine getaway, you’d do well to shore up your plans now. To make the most of the Cascades’ spectacular beauty, reserve your stay at this cabin near Mount Rainier. Located in charming Ashford, this woodsy refuge is mere minutes from the national park’s entrance.

This charming cabin greets you with its bright red door and warm wood cladding, setting the ideal tone for a weekend of outdoor adventure. Managed by veteran host Mish, it's the perfect blend of tranquil scenery and modern amenities.

The interior has a Scandi sensibility, marrying perfectly with the rugged landscape. After a day spent braving uphill trails, I like to relax in a spare, bright space. The cabin boasts stylish design touches, but nothing feels too precious, making it the perfect spot to flop and rest your tired legs.

While it is possible to find dining nearby, I often end up preparing food myself on outdoor-oriented trips. On the evenings you're not up to dining out, and even a restaurant with spectacular views couldn't tempt you, the rental's kitchen has everything you need to make a delicious meal.

If you know me, then you know I love hot tubs, which is why I think this cabin's pièce de résistance is its outdoor spa. After a day of hiking, nothing beats a good soak with the jets on. Pair consummate relaxation with the sounds of old-growth forest and you've got a winning combination.
