Rainier Gondola at 6,872 feet and offers beautiful mountain views out every window as well as from our outdoor patio.  The friendly staff serves great food in an alpine setting with unbelievable views that are both unique and breathtaking. Enjoy a glass of wine or cold beer as you dine. Relax, and soak it all in. On a clear day take in the best views of the Northwest’s most famous volcanic peaks such at Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Baker and Glacier Peak.  Open daily for lunch and dinner on Fridays and Saturdays during peak season.

I recently converted the back area of the garage into a beautiful 320sq ft studio apartment!  Luxurious amenities abound; heated flooring throughout, fully equipped kitchenette, tiny twin sleeping loft + child sleeper sofa, Queen size memory foam bed, smart TV, dining table with 4 chairs and seating area.  Out the back door there is a covered deck and firepit!  Inquire about adding the apartment to the whole house reservation for a reasonable additional fee!  Please note that the apartment is only available to the renters of the home and not rented separately. Cheers! Nathan, builder and owner  

It was another awesome opening day at Crystal Mountain. Just like every opening day the snow was cold, dry, fluffy and oh so FUN! O
