Blackberry Bunkhouse

Key's in lock-box at gate to property with combo provided by host. When I booked lodging I indicated 2 adults; but upon realizing my error I contacted host to clarify that 4 adults would be staying. Host indicated no problem and that he would contact his people to make sure home was ready for 4 adults. Location was the reason for renting this property as it is only 5 miles from SW entry to Mt. Rainier NP.

Property was not as advertised on listing with Booking. Listing identified 2 bedrooms, with two double beds and additional twin & bunk-beds, and a sleeper sofa. One bedroom on main floor was acceptable with double bed. 2nd bedroom is only accessible via a attic pull down ladder. 2nd bedroom has 2 trundle beds and 2 twin beds. NOT a double bed. Sofa is a 3seater with 2 reclining ends. NOT a sleeper sofa. The attic access and design IMHO is very unsafe. There's basically a hole in the floor that is the attic ladder access with no safety railing at top attic space and no alternate emergency exit available for safe egress. The home was not to my cleanliness standard. 2nd floor trundle bedding smelled of urine, cracker crumbs on seats of sofa, coffee maker still had coffee from prior rental and shower had hairs on walls from prior rental and paint is pulling away from top of shower wall near shower head. Area around exterior hot tub has several tripping hazards. Mason blocks stacked are used to support entry steps to hot tub. Not enough exterior lighting for safely walking around the home to access main deck, hot tub and exterior (pay as you use) laundry. I contacted host prior to publishing my review to address the anomalies regarding his listing and request refund of cleaning fee as cleanliness of home was substandard. Host stated that Booking is not his usual source for listing rental of property and that he thought the listing description as well as location of second bedroom was identified as an attic access. He argued the cleanliness issue. Lastly, typically on Booking.com there's a week or up to a day prior to rental date to cancel refundable bookings. This listing fully charges approximately 6 weeks out when booking the refundable rate. So read the small print regarding this contract for rental.

Great location right outside Mt Rainier NP. Large yard and property. The spa was nice but it takes at least 4 hours to get up to temperature. The space was small downstairs with one bedroom and bathroom. The loft upstairs was nice and large, however it was up a steep ladder so would be hard for small kids to get up there or down safely.

the house was not well ventilated. it got very hot at night, and too many not to turn off light source right by the bed. the bed wasn’t very comfy, there was mold in the attic space which was defined as a 2nd bedroom.

cozy place close to mt. rainier good restaurant in vicinity
