We’re so glad you’re here.
This guide is designed to help you settle in — from preparing for your arrival to making the most of your time at Fjellsangin and Mount Rainier National Park.
Every detail at Fjellsangin was chosen to invite stillness — whether that means easing into the sauna ritual, savoring a slow morning at the coffee bar, or ending your day beneath a starlit sky in the hot tub. You’ll find everything you need here for a smooth, restorative stay.
Before You Arrive
Ease Into the Journey
Preparing for your stay at Fjellsangin should feel as restorative as the time you’ll spend here. Below you’ll find a few simple notes on pre-arrival planning, what to pack, and what’s already waiting for you at our cabin near Mt. Rainier.
Pre-Arrival Planning
To help us prepare everything for your stay, please note:
Curated Meal Kits must be pre-ordered at least 7 days before arrival.
Wellness Add-Ons — including Sauna Ritual Kits and Sparkle Bar upgrades — may be added up to 48 hours before check-in.
If you’re planning to use the cedar sauna, hot tub, or seasonal outdoor shower, we recommend bringing a swimsuit and sandals for comfort.
What We Provide
Each stay includes essentials so you can pack lightly:
all linens, towels, and waffle robes;
DCR Coffee, Apolis Teas, and basic pantry staples;
a firewood starter bundle (additional available for purchase);
Apotheke bath products (shampoo, conditioner, body wash);
Bluetooth Marshall speaker, Roku smart TVs, Sony PlayStation, puzzles, and games.
Grocery delivery via Instacart is available in the Ashford area — a convenient way to stock up on fresh items or local favorites before you settle in. We recommend placing orders early, as delivery windows in rural mountain areas can fill up during peak seasons.
What to Pack
The weather near Mt. Rainier shifts quickly — often with misty mornings and cool evenings even in summer.
We suggest bringing:
layers for warmth and rain protection;
sturdy shoes or hiking boots for trails;
slippers or warm socks for inside the cabin;
a swimsuit and sandals for the sauna, hot tub, and outdoor shower;
and optionally, a reusable water bottle and small backpack for day hikes in Mt. Rainier National Park.
How to Find Us
Fjellsangin is located in Ashford, Washington, just five minutes from the Nisqually Entrance to Mount Rainier National Park.
Whether you’re driving from Seattle, Portland, or beyond, the journey is part of the experience — winding through evergreens, rivers, and quiet mountain roads that set the rhythm for what’s ahead.
Drive times: approximately two hours from Seattle, two and a half hours from Portland, and just over an hour from Olympia. You’ll pass through small towns with cafés and farm stands worth a stop — a reminder to slow your pace as the mountain draws closer.
For guests driving electric vehicles, a Level 2 EV charger is available on-site so you can arrive — and depart — fully charged.
Notes from the Mountain
Life at the base of Mount Rainier moves with the rhythm of nature — mist, snowfall, rain, and sun each shaping the day. The cabin is built for comfort in every season, but mountain life can bring a few surprises.
Weather: Conditions near Mt. Rainier shift quickly. Even in summer, mornings are cool and evenings crisp. Pack layers and check forecasts before you travel.
Power: On rare occasions, storms may cause brief outages. Fjellsangin is equipped with a backup generator, flashlights, and lanterns to ensure your comfort until full power is restored.
Roads: In winter, 4WD or AWD is recommended for the drive to Ashford. Chains may be required for park access beyond the Nisqually Entrance. We’ll notify you if the weather is expected to affect travel.
WiFi: Reliable high-speed internet is provided throughout the cabin. Cell service may fade in the forest — a gentle cue to slow down.
Septic: Fjellsangin runs on a private septic system. Please flush only toilet paper and avoid pouring chemicals down drains to help protect the mountain environment.
Spaces to Unwind
Every corner of Fjellsangin was designed for calm — heat, light, texture, and quiet connection. Here’s what awaits during your stay at our luxury cabin near Mt. Rainier.
Sauna & Outdoor Shower
Your private cedar-lined sauna offers a traditional Nordic heat experience just steps from the cabin. Follow the Sauna Ritual Card to move through heat, cool, rest, and repeat — or upgrade to our guided Sauna Ritual Kit for the full Scandinavian wellness experience.
The seasonal outdoor shower, open from late spring through early fall, provides a refreshing cold contrast beneath the forest canopy. Please turn off the valve after use to prevent freezing.
Hot Tub
Tucked beneath a cedar-anchored pavilion, the private hot tub is open year-round — a perfect place to soak while mist drifts through the evergreens.
Please shower before use, avoid oils or glassware near the tub, and replace the cover after each session to preserve warmth and water clarity. A Bluetooth speaker is provided for gentle music or ambient sound.
Coffee & Tea Bar
Mornings at Fjellsangin begin slowly. Choose from DCR Coffee roasted nearby or Apolis Teas from Sumner, Washington — with three ways to brew: Keurig, drip, or French press.
Mugs, honey, and a curated selection of spices are stocked in the pantry.
Reusable filters are provided to reduce waste.
Fire Pit
Gather outside under the mountain sky at Fjellsangin’s stone firepit with natural boulder seating.
Your stay includes a starter bundle of firewood and a natural fire starter, with extra bundles available on-site.
Use only the designated stone-ringed firepit, and please ensure fires are completely extinguished before heading inside.
It’s the perfect place for a s’more, a story, or a long silence broken only by the crackle of flame.
Entertainment & Essentials
Fjellsangin is designed for both connection and quiet.
Enjoy Roku smart TVs in each bedroom and the great room (65” main, 50” bedrooms), a Bluetooth Marshall speaker, and a Sony PlayStation for relaxed game nights or rainy afternoons.
You’ll also find board games, card games, puzzles, and books for slow, screen-free moments. Wrap up in handknit throws, adjust the climate control, and settle into the balance between stillness and warmth.
