9. Cozy vacation home with hot tub

Head to the backyard for breathtaking views of Mount Rainier. The best time to catch sight of this awe-inspiring view is during sunset, where the mountain looks like it has been dyed with hues of orange and red.

If you are more of an indoor person, this accommodation is apt for you. Play a game of pool in the games room or take some photos with the retro game machine. End your day by resting in one of the three bedrooms. Each bedroom comes with a view of the expansive waterfront. Have a good night’s sleep while gazing at the starry sky.
