For those who want to go outdoors, Wit's End Retreat is located about 11 minutes from the Nisqually entrance of Mount Rainier National Park (this entrance is open year round). We are less than 10 minutes from Alder Lake and only about a half a mile to 92 Road where you can take your off-road vehicles to the Elbe Hills trails. There is also a trail close to the cabin that you can follow down to the Nisqually River. If skiing or snowboarding is your thing, we are located about an hour and a half away from White Pass Ski Resort. The road in front of the cabin makes a great sledding hill when there is snow!

Follow the babbling sound of the seasonal creek to the deck in the front of the cabin. Relax in the new, covered hot tub and let the jets massage away your aches and pains. Please read hot tub rules before using. Unbreakable cups with lids are provided in the kitchen. A gas fire table and chairs are located next to the hot tub for outdoor dining as well as a Weber gas grill for outdoor cooking. Enjoy a cozy fire with friends and family. A fire pit, outdoor chairs, and a small amount of firewood is provided for your use when there is not a burn ban. If additional fire wood is needed, there are places nearby it can be purchased. Firewood will not be provided during a burn ban.

Wit's End Retreat was recently remodeled and offers a fully stocked kitchen with a full size range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and peninsula for eating. In the kitchen you will also find a coffee bar stocked with a Keurig, french press, coffee, tea, cider, and hot cocoa. The kitchen contains pots, pans, utensils, basic spices, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar for all your cooking needs. Just bring the food! There is even a bluetooth speaker if you need some music around the cabin.

Cozy up by the pellet stove and watch TV, play board games, or read. The Smart TV offers apps such as Netflix or Prime Video that you can log into. The full bathroom is located downstairs and contains a large, walk in shower as well as washer and dryer if you need to do any laundry. The vanity contains a first aid kit and a basket of some essentials if there is something you forgot to bring.

Upstairs you will find a cozy queen bed, dresser, and small pole for hanging clothes on one side. The other side contains a twin daybed with a trundle bed underneath that pulls out for a 2nd twin bed. Additional blankets are located in the blanket chest and baskets. There is also a 2nd Smart TV as well as board games, books, puzzles, legos, and coloring materials for children. Please note there are no doors between the sleeping areas.

We are dog friendly for a $35 pet fee. Please be sure to include a pet in your reservation so the fee will automatically be charged. If pets need to be on the furniture, please use the provided pet blankets (located in the coffee table). Do not leave pets unattended unless crated and always keep them on a leash outside. Always pick up after your pet and waste bags are provided if needed. You will be responsible for any damages caused by pets.

The cabin has a wall unit heat pump for heating and cooling, as well as an optional pellet stove. The temperature on the pellet stove can be controlled via the built in thermostat on the stove if you need to adjust it up or down. Please read the instructions provided in our book. It's possible you may need to refill the pellets if you choose to use it. Additional pellets are located in the can next to the pellet stove.
