RV's up to 25 to 30 feet are welcome either on the asphalt driveway or on the gravel strip in front of the house. My home is on a quiet dead end road, 5 minutes from the rural town of Enumclaw. I'm about an hour SE of Seattle and an easy and scenic 60 minute drive to the White River CG in Mt Rainier NP (several amazing hikes start there!). It's 30 minutes from the campground to the Sunrise Visitor Center (with even more incredible hiking possibilities). Crystal Mountain Resort is an hour away. While I did not click on pets allowed, this is negotiable on an individual basis for small quiet dogs. Nearby Attractions: There are many things to do in the Enumclaw area: hiking, restaurants, breweries, classic car museum, winery, farmers market on Thursdays in the summer, antique stores, summer street fairs, King County Fair at the Enumclaw Expo Center (In mid-July; the oldest county fair west of the Mississippi), state parks, Mt Rainier NP, Crystal Mountain Resort, etc. More details can be found here and with a quick Google search..... - https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g58462-Activities-Enumclaw_Washington.html - https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Things+To+Do&find_loc=Enumclaw%2C+WA+98022

I traveled to this area , 150 miles from home, for a certification class for a volunteer community service organization. I expected to spend the evenings studying hard. But the host turned out compellingly kind and welcoming...and enormously interesting, even willing to help me with some tech communication solutions for living and camping in a rural area. The yard is beautifully landscaped, in a super quiet rural setting, just 5-10 minutes from many fast food eateries, even into Enumclaw, WA.

Great location and host. Wonderful morning visit on his deck. Very nice landscaping and a spring visit with the rhododendrons in bloom would be a floral wonderland.

Our host was charming, knowledgeable and generous in spirit and deeds. Under trying covid inspired circumstances we had a really neat night that ended so early and hope that we may return the hospitality sometime into the not too distant future. This is one happy spot to stop for whatever period with flowing conversation and peaceful surroundings. Thanks Ken we appreciated your effort.

Ken was a wonderful host. Shared some camping stories & great ideas on new destinations. As we’re big Avs fan - he opened his house so we could watch the final Stanley Cup game together, made chili & shared a great evening together. It was a perfect stopover!
