Bear Lodge is a classic log home in Packwood, WA. Experience the magic and beauty of the Cascade Mountains and Mt. Rainier National Park in this beautifully built and immaculately maintained vacation home. Have your ultimate mountain holiday in this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom cabin. It's an ideal place for large family getaways or several couples on a ski or hiking trip. Sitting on wooded property, this luxuriously rustic and cozy cabin and peaceful setting is perfect for your vacation.
After a wonderful day exploring Mt. Rainier National Park (only 8 miles away), or Mt. St. Helen's National Monument (80 miles away), hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, or skiing, cook a fabulous meal in the fully equipped kitchen (or grill on the deck outdoors!) before sitting down for an elegant meal in the dining room where every meal feels like a special occasion. Cozy up in the large living room with a fire in the stone fireplace and share stories with your friends and family about the day's adventures.
We love to cook, so the beautiful slab granite counter tops and stainless appliance filled kitchen should have everything you need to make wonderful meals. In the cupboards, you will find a crockpot, fondue set, blender, hand mixer, large toaster, electric pancake griddle, wok, nonstick pans, baking sheets, and more. On the counter you will find a Keurig (K pods provided), an electric kettle and Cuisinart coffee pot, complete with grinder. We haven't forgotten the helpful kitchen essentials: salt and pepper, spices, olive oil, vinegar, tea, sugar, coffee, cocoa, popcorn and many condiments in the refrigerator.
Out on the deck, a large hot tub makes for a delightful evening of stargazing and quiet relaxation. After a busy day of biking, hiking, skiing, or fishing, soak in the tub and listen to the sounds of nature in the secluded 3 acre back yard. We have over 60 movies on DVD, a Smart TV, Netflix, and over 20 board games for your vacation entertainment!
Each bathroom offers high quality linens, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion.
This home also has wireless internet access, so if you must do some work or school work on your vacation/getaway, you may do so in the comfort of the cabin, on the porch or in the hammock while you enjoy the natural beauty of the area. As cell service is "spotty" in the mountains, there is a land line for your convenience.
We are family friendly and have a Graco 'Pack N Play' and a portable booster style high chair for your use. Our cabin is a smoke free environment (except for use of the fireplace). All linens are hypoallergenic (down alternative comforters) and each bed is covered high quality, high thread count 100% cotton sheets and duvet covers. In addition to the 4 bedrooms, there is a (not private) loft with a twin mattress and a full sized mattress for sleeping up to three, as well as a den for reading a book or watching television. We have 8 portable fans as well as a ceiling fan in the living room for use on hot summer days.
Bear Lodge welcomes the truly young, the young at heart, the great adventurer and those just desiring a peaceful rest for the mind, body and soul!

Come, sit and relax on one of our porches and enjoy a superb cup of the locally roasted coffee, while watching the elk graze at Bear Lodge. Please, be our guest; let our home be your home for a few days, a week, or longer if you can. We would be delighted to share the beauty of the beautiful Cascade mountains with you – and a home that will help you create the kind of memories you will relish for a lifetime!
We prefer to give our guests their privacy. For safety and security, we have Ring cameras on the front porch, overlooking the driveway and overlooking the back deck toward the yard. No cameras are inside the cabin or looking inside the cabin. We have a wonderful hospitality team that all live within a few minutes of the cabin for assistance if needed.
