Ashford Mansion, a stately 1903 residence on the national register for historic places. Live in a park-like setting, with wrap-around porches set among a background of old-growth evergreens. Built in the Colonial Revival-style, no detail is spared, from coffered ceilings and medallions to 15 crystal chandeliers and sconces. Ashford Mansion is located six miles from the only year-round entrance to Mount Rainier. As the nation's fifth established National Park, recreation abounds year round.
