This B&B was a respite for us on vacation. While my partner Judy is retired, her health issues are stressful. And I, still working as an Operating Room RN in a very busy hospital, am bombarded each and every work day with stress. The hospitality of Michelle and Harry at Mtn Meadows was outstanding. Our interactions with them at breakfast, which was totally gourmet, offered us an insight into the natural world at Mt. Rainier. As my sister accompanied us, we chose the Cedar Suite with very comfortable queen beds. Everything was very clean. We just appreciated the quiet and detachment from the outside world.

Our visit was totally unplanned, and fortunately we found a vacant room, which was good for us as this seems a very popular stop-over.

There we were driving along SR 706 and this little oasis appeared, at just the right moment, and we were lucky because it seems to be a popular.. It is not just about where and how you sleep, Harry and Michelle are the perfect hosts. The breakfast looked so exotic, it was pity to eat it, but all this is accompanied by a host of tales about the locality and wildlife.Unfortunately Harry has got me hooked on the USGS website, but that aside it was a totally wonderful experience.

I just wished we could have stayed longer, but we were running out of time before our return to the UK and there was still a lot more to see.

Owners Michelle and Harry were delightful caring hosts who were most helpful with all aspects of our trip to Mt. Rainier National Park. A very warm and inviting 100 year old well maintained home with interesting artifacts, antiques, and libraries full of unique books. Situated on an 11 acre wilderness sanctuary with a peaceful walking trail and enjoyable hot tub. Delicious warm and filling breakfasts. A truly delightful and enjoyable experience.

Harry and Michelle were very nice hosts and provided a very homey, comfortable environment for my girlfriend and I. We checked in early (around 4pm), so Harry had time to give us a little tour of the yard, the hot tub, and the room before we paid.
We enjoyed walking around the huge yard and taking advantage of the hot tub that night. We saw that there was a little nature trail that wound around through some of the nearby woods, but we had already hiked our fill for the day, so didn't check it out. It seemed like a basic nature trail; nothing extravagent; just a relaxing walk through the woods. We were surprised that evening with a couple of really yummy brownies as well when we got back from dinner.
Inside the main house, the free wifi was handy for checking the weather and trail maps online, and the den was really cool to look around, with all of the books and old pictures and such. Don't expect much in the way of modern distractions outside of the basic wifi internet service. There's a TV, but there's a picture of someone shooting their TV taped to it (my guess is that's a hint). There are a few games and puzzles and magazines and such, along with the extensive library of nature books.
The room itself was in an external building which was nice enough and clean. The bed was a little soft for my taste, but I'm personally a little bit spoiled in that regard. The only thing I noticed was that there wasn't great insulation between the nearby rooms. I heard a few more loud noises than I would have prefered from my neighbors. That said, it wasn't really bothersome. Just a warning for anyone else who's especially sensitive to such things.
Breakfast was great; a waffle with strawberries and other fruits. No meat, for all of you heavy meat eaters though. Also, it doesn't sound like there's much variation from what I've read in other reviews. That's just fine by me, but fair warning if you're going to be there over multiple days and a big fan of eggs and sausage.
Obviously, this is not a hotel; this is a home, to which we were welcome to join for a day and a night. If you're looking for a completely isolated experience, you're probably better finding a hotel.
