Welcome to our home-away-from-home, Plaidstag. Located 5 mi / 8 km / 15 minutes from the entrance to Mt Rainier National Park, this is the perfect basecamp for hiking, snowshoeing, and scenic explorations. Comfortable for 4 heartbeats, be they cats, dogs, or well-behaved humans!

The interior is well appointed. Outside features a fire circle and hot tub. Come stay at Plaidstag soon!

The space
Plaidstag is a small 2 story A-Frame.

1 Queen bed and 2 twin beds share the upstairs, each featuring plentiful outlets and bedside lighting. The bedroom has AC in the summer and a ceiling fan to keep you comfortable.

The main floor has everything else:

A nice seating area faces the wood-stove.
The 4 seat dining table folds up to get out of the way. The Kitchenette has a mini-fridge with small freezer, a combo microwave / convection oven, 2 burner induction cooktop, and a nice sink and good space for preparing meals. For coffee there is a Keurig machine with a Starbucks K-Cups and coffee-fixins. We also provide tea options. Pots, pans, dishes, cups, wine glasses, beer mugs, and more make it easy to stay and enjoy yourself.
The bathroom features a heated floor, cedar plank walls, barn-style door featuring 5 local woods (and 1 from California), a big sink and vanity (built by MacThoy) with myriad supplies, and an efficiency-sized shower stall with great water pressure. Towels and basics are included.
In winter there are two electric heaters to supplement the fire from the wood-stove and maintain a comfortable temperature with ease.

Outside you can enjoy a 4-person hot tub, a nice Fire Circle (wood provided!), and a forest environment that comes right up to the deck.

Guest access
The whole cabin is yours for your stay!

The outside area has areas that we are working to restore to a natural and native forest environment. Look for blocking and signage.

Other things to note
Plaidstag is part of an old forested neighborhood. As such, we are working very hard to restore the grounds to a natural & native environment. Some of the grounds may be off limits during your stay, for your safety and the safety of new plants.

The wild animals we commonly see are deer, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks. Others known in the area are small bats at night, various songbirds and larger birds, rodents like moles and voles, garden snakes, and forest mice. Large dangerous animals are very uncommon, but not entirely unknown, like bears, cougars, and bobcats. We have never personally seen these larger animals in 10 years, but our neighbors have in the past. Insects and bugs include wild bees, honey bees, sugar ants, damsel-flies, dragonflies, spiders, and all kinds of beetles, butterflies, and moths. We have a pest control treatment program based on Deterrence to keep pests away from the buildings, rather than trapping or killing.

Non-wild animals include humans, domesticated chickens, neighborhood cats, and neighborhood dogs. As with all wild animals, do not approach any domesticated animals without their caretakers present to give permission.

My work: Mostly retired
I spend too much time: Driving to and from fun stuff.
We are Gryphon & Stephen. We have been together for 20 years, and we were among the first gay and lesbian couples who got married in Washington State in December of 2012. We have owned our cabin in the woods since 2015. Now retired and semi-retired, we decided to offer our beloved Plaidstag to others so we can share the joys and self-discoveries that being in Nature provides.
