We originally book at the Paradise Lodge in the NP. After reading about Almost Paradise, I'm glad that we cancelled. Almost Paradise is paradise! What an exceptional find. We spent four days in the Ranier cabin and it was perfect for us. We hiked all day, grilled in the evening, played with Dugan the cabin greeter, and relaxed in the... More

Almost Paradise is misnamed in that it is Paradise. With three on-site cabins, and one about a mile down the road, each with its own private parking spot, entrance, gas BBQ, and hot tub. Each cabin has cooking facilities, with the little Rainier more of a "studio" unit, the Woodland more of your own private house. Plushy robes and towels... More

What an amazing place. Very quiet, in the wild, with a wonderful cabin. A real quality feel with lovely linen. We ate a nice meal (bring your own top quality for the microwave), watched a movie from the collection, soaked in the hot tub, went to bed. The word romantic is often used to imply leading to intimacy. In those... More

This is simply one of the finest places we've ever stayed. We reserved three nights in the Rainier Cabin, and wouldn't hesitate to go back - and for an even longer stay. The cabin is well-designed and appointed and has every comfort, including a great hot tub and plush robes. Carol's dog Dugan was a delight, showing up to play... More

Almost Paradise is just a few miles from the Nisqualy entrance to Mt. Rainier. Hidden in the woods are charming little cottages. We had one with a kitchen, sitting area, hot tub, fire pit, grill, and even the owner's dog to play fetch with. The attention to detail was amazing. Our rooms were immaculate with a fully stocked kitchen and... More

Full size kitchen with tons of kitchen supplies along with a washer and dryer. Bedroom was very spacious and comfortable. Bathroom was very big and clean. Everything you would need is... More

We stayed in the Rainier cabin at the end of our vacation in the Seattle area. What a wonderful and peaceful place to spend quality time with your hubby! We loved the cabin and the relaxing jacuzzi at night. Carol provided all the privacy we were looking for. We enjoyed her dog, Doogan, as well. We were less than 3... More

Almost Paradise was a great start for our west coast trip. The solitude provided by the Rainier cabin was wonderful. The private spa is perfect for relaxing after travelling and hiking. Carol was a pleasant and helpful hostess. We are pleased to have found this spot and glad we chose to stay there.
