Cabins are the perfect place to stay when you want to immerse yourself in nature but not be at the mercy of the wilderness. People can venture directly into the woods for amazing hikes, wildlife viewing, swimming, or all the fun activities that come with camping (without the tent). Some destinations, however, are more suitable for these nature getaways.
Trips to Discover has the scoop on the United States' best places for a cabin vacation. Their list includes mountainous terrains, massive lakes, and other impressive environments.
One of Washington State's most iconic natural features landed on the list: Mount Rainier! This active volcano stands at over 14,000 feet and is a common sight for anyone living in the Seattle area. Visitors can look forward to jaw-dropping views and exciting outdoor activities, no matter the season. Writers explain why they featured this mountain:
"The Mount Rainier area of Washington is also a wonderful place for a cabin getaway vacation. You’ll have easy access to the many outdoor excursions in Mount Rainier National Park and Mount Rainier Railroad. See Washington State’s most famous mountain and prominent peak, and if visiting during winter, enjoy the blankets of snow that are perfect for tubing and snowboarding. You can also visit the Sunrise area to capture awe-inspiring views of the mountain and other volcanoes in the Cascades, like Mount Adams, as well as 360-degree vistas of the surrounding valleys."
