Warm & welcoming in the towering old growth forest, a lovingly maintained 322sf USFS log cabin was handcrafted in 1934. 35 years after Mt Rainier National Park was established & 28 years before Crystal Mountain. Closest cabin to both the Park and Crystal Mt Blvd, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Northwest history. Built off grid & still off grid today. Cabin provides an increasingly scarce connection to a simpler way to life. Electricity available at end of driveway for future upgrade. Water is transported in containers and a traditional outhouse is just steps away. Inside, log walls, vaulted ceiling, sleeping loft, native stone fireplace, vintage wood cook stove with oven & granite countertops create an atmosphere of timeless mountain charm. Comforts include a propane fireplace insert w/battery remote, LED lighting powered by batteries, marine hand-pump water to sink, insulated standing seam metal roof, Perma-chinked logs, and security wood shutters. Ladder accessed loft accommodates queen & twin beds, while inviting living area features sleeper couch, cozy armchairs & large dining table w/bench seating for hearty meals after days spent skiing, hiking & biking. Outside woodshed stores fuel for cook stove & for fire ring that invites evenings beneath the stars. Small in size, rich in character, a place where time slows & mountain memories are made will change your life. USFS leasehold purchases are cash. Full time residence & public rentals are not permitted.
