Big mountains, lush forests, meandering waterways—Washington is ideal for a cabin trip.
A cozy cabin getaway in Washington state? Yes, please. Here, the Cascade Range stretches down the state into Oregon and is home to Mt. Baker, one of Washington’s top biking, hiking, and snow-skiing destinations, where A-frame cabins in the woods provide a relaxing retreat after a day on the mountain, some pet-friendly and others with fire pits or private hot tubs. Further south, you’ll find Leavenworth vacation rentals—think log cabins and comfy chalets with wifi, full kitchens, and more—and then Mount Rainier National Park, while Olympic National Park sits on the state’s northwestern tip on the other side of Seattle and features a temperate rainforest. For waterfront cabin rentals, look to the islands and peninsulas of Puget Sound, where you’ll feel a world away from the bustle of nearby Seattle. If you really want to get away from it all, head north to the San Juan Islands for kayaking, boating, and orca-spotting. Don’t forget a book and a board game for those rainy Pacific Northwest days—Washington isn’t known as the Evergreen State for nothing.
