Whether you’re lucky enough to be able to see the stars from your own backyard or you have to travel to enjoy them, we all know that the best spots in Washington for stargazing are the ones that are far away from the lights of the city. Mount Rainier National Park has always been a top stargazing spot, and for good reason – the visibility in the area is second to none.

The next time you’d like to catch a meteor shower or just see a shooting star or two, treat yourself to a cabin at Stone Creek Lodge. Not only is the stargazing here fantastic, but the accommodations are also comfortable and cozy in any season.

Stone Creek Lodge is located just yards from the entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park, in Ashford.

Management / TripAdvisor While you’re here, you’ll enjoy easy, stress-free access to the park, with comfortable accommodations nearby.

The lodge consists of a series of cedar mountain lodging cabins with all the comforts of home.

Management / TripAdvisor While the cabins are fairly minimalist, they’re far from rustic. You’ll have a kitchenette, a gas log fireplace, and a long list of amenities at your service.

One of the best parts of your stay will be soaking in your own private hot tub under the stars after a long day of exploring the park.

Management / TripAdvisor The hot tubs are available year-round, and they feel particularly fantastic on a cold winter night.

While each cabin is different, they all feature custom-made log furniture throughout the space.

Management / TripAdvisor The kitchenette amenities include a microwave, a mini-fridge, coffee-maker, toaster, electric tea kettle, and basic dishes and utensils. WiFi is available as well, so you won’t have to disconnect unless you want to.

But we do recommend disconnecting for a while – if only to step out and gaze at the gorgeous night sky.

Management / TripAdvisor The wide-open spaces and lack of street lights really lead to the ultimate stargazing possibilities.

Mount Rainier National Park is one of the top national parks in the country for stargazing.

Management / TripAdvisor North Cascades National Park also made the list.

Stone Creek Lodge is a wonderful place to stay any time of year.

Management / TripAdvisor Rates vary depending on the season, but you can usually get one for under $200 per night. Not every cabin is child-friendly, so keep that in mind when you’re making your selection if your little ones are joining you for stargazing and mountain fun.
