As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Whether you’re lucky enough to be able to see the stars from your own backyard or you have to travel to enjoy them, we all know that the best spots in Washington for stargazing are the ones that are far away from the lights of the city. Mount Rainier National Park has always been a top stargazing spot, and for good reason – the visibility in the area is second to none.

The next time you’d like to catch a meteor shower or just see a shooting star or two, treat yourself to a cabin at Stone Creek Lodge. Not only is the stargazing here fantastic, but the accommodations are also comfortable and cozy in any season.

Stone Creek Lodge is located just yards from the entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park, in Ashford.

While you're here, you'll enjoy easy, stress-free access to the park, with comfortable accommodations nearby.
The lodge consists of a series of cedar mountain lodging cabins with all the comforts of home.

While the cabins are fairly minimalist, they're far from rustic. You'll have a kitchenette, a gas log fireplace, and a long list of amenities at your service.
One of the best parts of your stay will be soaking in your own private hot tub under the stars after a long day of exploring the park.
Management / TripAdvisor
The hot tubs are available year-round, and they feel particularly fantastic on a cold winter night.
