This working ranch has it all - views of Mt. Rainier, tipis to sleep in, and an amazing array of animals, from alpacas to pygmy goats, that love hanging with visitors.

Embrace the great outdoors at this cabin with a wall of glass windows affording views of the woods in the daytime and night skies in the evening. Plus, there are chickens on the property for fresh eggs in the morning.
