Welcome to our charming mountain town neighborhood Echo Valley, where the pace is relaxed, and nature is your closest neighbor. Picture-perfect scenery, including roaming mule deer families, sets the stage for your getaway. Enjoy the winding roads and easy access to outdoor adventures. Your short-term escape awaits in this serene mountain retreat!

There are four parking spots in the driveway and getting around in the area is dependent on having a car unless you are feeling adventurous and bring your own bicycles. The Nisqually/Paradise entrance to Mt. Ranier National park is only 5 mi from the home for easy access. The neighborhood is great for folks who would like to get in a quick morning run on the quiet country roads before heading up the mountain.

🦌The local deer population frequently walk through the front and back yards of the home. While enjoying the magic of their presence, we ask that you please maintain a respectful distance from them and thank you for your cooperation in keeping the wildlife safe and wild.
