Room was clean , bed is a mattress on a piece of plywood, so pretty firm. No extra pillows in the room and what they had were very flat. No tv. If you want a place to sleep it was perfect, but if you want comfort and quiet this is not it. Young adult in the yurt were up until late partying and people above us sounded like a herd of elephants (mainly due to it being an older building). Good location, restaurants in the area.

I booked this room by accident. I was unaware that I had booked a room with no refrigerator, no microwave and no television! But I soon began to understand what the owners were striving for (I think). This is a beautiful area only 6 miles from Mount Rainier. I also noticed others enjoying the courtyard area by reading, relaxing under umbrellas, just enjoying the weather. This is a fine area to kind of disconnect and just enjoy the outdoors.

Room was fine for my needs. And bed was firm. It was clean. The main complaint was just the thin walls and hearing other people’s conversations and snoring at night.

Clean room. Helpful cheerful staff. There was noise from people upstairs from evening until about 2am. Facility could use some sprucing up, but as it has a rustic charm vibe, maybe it's fine as-is! I needed to drive a ways down the road for morning coffee, as the cafe at the facility wasn't open until later

Rustic is an over-statement. Old. Everything pretty much worked. Lower cost option. You get what you pay for. Understand what you are getting. I would stay again.
