Rainier Testimonials
"Thank you so much for all of your help with our yurt raising. You were invaluable and everyone on the team kept talking about how much they appreciated you being there.

"What a wonderful product the Raven Yurt we put up at Camp Westminster is. This was a mission project for our church with bunch of weekend do-it-yourselfers that went together like clock work. I knew when we tacked up the story tape and were within 3/16's, everything was golden! Thanks again for a great product and our hats off the team that put together the assembly manual / platform drawing."—Camp Westminster,

"I'm amazed at the quality of construction - nothing could get in here. I'm completely protected from the elements. Through all the wind, rain and snow we always stay dry and warm inside."—David, private home

The Rainier Cottage offers two different kits which vary in 6 sizes to fit your budget and lifestyle. The differences between the two models of Rainier Cottages are purely based on the windows and doors. In the Lakedale model, the three screen windows are sewn into the canvas and can be zipped up with a privacy flap. In addition, the wall-tent style door is also sewn into the Tahoma canvas walls and includes a bug screen. For a sturdier frame, we offer the Denali model which is equipped with three glass windows and a glass door that has a screen for the upper pane.
There are a number of different options available to customize your Cottage including double French Doors with mini blinds and High Wind Cables. We would be happy to walk you through the steps of building your own customizable retreat Cottage.
Lakedale Cottage

The Rainier Lakedale Cottage, with its tent-like cozy feel makes a perfect “home away from home”.
The handsome wood frame accommodates three screen windows that are sewn right into the translucent cotton canvas and can be zipped up with a privacy flap or open wide and tied back to let the natural sunlight and fresh air in. The tent-style door is unique as it opens all the way to the ridge, which allows an open, airy feel and easier access.
