Alexander's Country Inn
Restaurant & Day Spa at Mount Rainier

Alexander's Country Inn Bed and Breakfast and Restaurant, located just one mile from the southwest entrance of Mount Rainier National Park, is one of Washington state's oldest inns, serving guests since 1912.

Here you can enjoy attentive personal service at a small, moderately priced hotel rated Three Diamonds by AAA. This historic inn has become a favorite stop on the road to Paradise.

The inn has European antique stained glass windows, and the twelve guest rooms and suites are furnished with antique beds and armoires. Quality linens and bouquets of fresh-cut flowers add to the comfort and romance one expects at a historic inn, and each room has a private bath. Also, Alexander's now offers WiFi Internet access.

An outdoor hot tub overlooks a large trout pond complete with waterfall. Alexander's guests are invited to walk the nature trails and explore the back acreage which borders the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The landscape of towering old-growth fir trees, lush fern grottos, and wildflowers is as beautiful and pristine today as when the original homestead was founded.

Beauty abounds for nature and wildlife photography, birdwatching, or just taking a stroll in the woods. Alexander's is a year-round bird lovers' mecca. Blue heron, king fishers, woodpeckers, flickers, barn swallows, and, during the warm months, scores of hummingbirds -- both rufus and annas -- feed at the feeders and the trout pond. Follow the trail head at Alexander's trout pond and within minutes you'll be in the quiet and serenity of the national forest. Look up and see 200-foot Douglas Firs towering overhead, while at ground level, there are meadows of sword ferns, shamrocks, and mosses. During the summer, the endless fields and valleys of wildflowers are stunning in their beauty and numbers.

Open year 'round, Alexander's is two hours from Seattle, one hour from Tacoma, and under three hours from Portland. Alexander's staff offers warm and professional hospitality to all who stop by.

Known for its fresh rainbow trout, homemade bread, and blackberry pie, Alexander's Restaurant promises quality food in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Complimentary breakfast is served in the restaurant, and in the evening, guests relax in the parlor with a glass of wine and fresh seasonal fruits.

The Mount Rainier area gives way to a wide range of activities and recreational opportunities. Outdoor enthusiasts -- both beginners and the more experienced -- will find hikes, nature walks, mountain climbing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, fly fishing, and biking. Some of the finest mountain experiences anywhere are found right here at Mount Rainier. The trout pond at Alexander's is about the size of a football field and full of fish, including rainbow trout up to 18 inches long. Be sure to bring your fishing equipment!
