National Park Inn

Washington Cascades


The National Park Inn, parts of which date from 1911, goes out of its way to be rustic, with no TVs or telephones and small yet cozy facilities. But who needs cable when you've got fine service, fantastic surroundings, and complimentary afternoon tea and scones served in the comfortable dining room? Reserve in summer.
