Kautz Suite at Ashford Lodge - Hot Tub, Fireplace!

Kautz Cabin Suite has everything you need for a Mount Rainier getaway! Whether you're looking for an adventure basecamp or a cozy place to relax, we have you covered. The "Ashford Lodge" is an old bed and breakfast that we bought and renovated in 2021, turning it into a super fun mountain retreat! There is a big main house, guest house, and retro-trailer "glampground", with a shared hot tub, BBQ gazebo, and gardens. The Kautz room is located in our guest house, which has two other cabin suites. Each room has it's own private entrance, and there is a double layer of heavy insulation in the walls to keep noise down to a minimum. This small but cozy room features vintage rustic decor that will transport you back to a simpler time. The queen-size bed has flannel sheets and a pillow-top mattress to help you sleep like a baby, and there is a whisper-quiet AC unit to keep you at a comfortable temperature all night long. Fire up the gas fireplace and grab a good read off the bookshelf! There is a big selection of local guidebooks, nature books, and vintage treasures, so cozy up in front of the fire and nurture your inner bookworm! Best of all, you can watch movies from bed on the huge 100" projector! The smart projector is stocked with all the major streaming apps, and we supply a complimentary subscription to both Netflix and Amazon Prime Video! Bring the popcorn and cozy up for an epic movie night! The room also features a mini-kitchenette with the basics: Coffee maker (drip style) and fresh ground coffee from local roaster Campfire Coffee Company! We supply sugar, creamer, and tea, as well as a microwave and small mini-fridge. There are also mugs, glasses, bowls, silverware, napkins, and a wine/bottle opener. The bathroom features a shower stocked with top-quality Beekman 1802 shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash. Towels, washcloths, and hairdryer will be ready and waiting for you. Outside the room, you'll have access to the shared hot tub, tucked back in a private space in our garden away from all the rooms. It's located in a gazebo, so you can enjoy it even when it's raining! The hot tub is shared with guests in our other rooms and is first come, first served; we just ask that guests limit their hot tub time to an hour or so other guests get a chance to relax too. There is separate gazebo with gas grill and picnic table in our garden where you can grill up some post-hike burgers, and a hammock so you can relax in the sunshine! Our property also backs right up to Ashford County Park, which features a small network of paved trails that meander through beautiful woods! Follow our small gravel trail (look for the gravel going into the woods between the hot tub and vintage travel trailer) to connect up with the main park trail, and enjoy and nice evening stroll!
