Come experience the charm of Paradise Estates, a neighborhood of eclectic homes and camping sites. Please note that there is no public transportation in Ashford, so we recommend purchasing supplies prior to your arrival, as the nearest grocery store has only the basics. But don't worry, beer and wine are available! And should you need it, firewood can be purchased at the general store or the firewood vending machine. If there is firewood in the woodshed near the firepit, please feel free to use it.
FOREST ROAD 52 / SKATE CREEK ROAD WHICH TRAVELS EAST TO WEST, BETWEEN PACKWOOD AND ELBE IS OFTEN CLOSED ESPECIALLY DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. Please check the road conditions before traveling.
Please note that there is no dining table or dishwasher in the cabin, but alfresco dining is available on the patio, complete with a BBQ grill and fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars.
Space is limited, there are no closets, but we do provide two luggage racks.
Unwind in the hot tub, the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day of adventure. And if you need anything during your stay, our local contact is just a phone call away.
*** Power/internet can go out often due to the weather conditions in the mountains; however, the Knotty Shack has a built-in generator installed, so no more power outages! You can even enjoy the hot tub during a power outage****
As of October 2025, The Knotty Shack now has fiber optic Internet.
We will try to update you on any weather-related events, but please note if we are in the area we also may not have power, and our communication can be delayed as a result.

There is a camera pointing at the driveway.

Meet the Host
Raised as a "military brat", I was lucky to travel the world. No surprise my family decided to settle in Washington State. My trips to Mt. Rainier have always held a special place in my heart. My husband Patrick came for a visit in the mid 80's and fell in love with the mountain. Now we are lucky enough to have a cabin near the Paradise entrance. In 2022 we acquired the Knotty Shack cabin and our newest cabin Dovetail Den started in 2024.
