LO TAHOMA LO: Used to call attention or to express wonder or surprise. TAHOMA: Mt. Rainier or 'Tahoma' as it was named by Indigenous People of the Pacific Northwest. Lo Tahoma is an 18 acre homestead of diverse land including 15 forested acres, we're located 5 miles from the NW Carbon River entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park and 20 miles away from the Mowich Lake entrance. The glacier fed Carbon River is a 1/4 mile walk/drive from our driveway with easy access to the Foothills Rails-to-Trails (a relatively easy walking, dirt trail which parallels the Carbon River). We mill our own lumber from trees off our property using a portable sawmill which provides us with the wood we need for most of our construction and repair projects. We like to share self-sustainable knowledge and skills that we have found very useful on our homestead by offering small, hands-on, intimate classes.

Individual or small Group Campsite encircled in an old growth Cedar Grove.  The Carbon River entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park gives you the option of walking or bicycling in (*e-bikes included) . This entrance is open year round, and although not paved, the 12' wide path is inviting and easy for individuals & families to walk or bike. Trailheads to Chenuis Falls, Green Lake, and the iconic Carbon Glacier all stem from this 5 mile access road. We're 20 miles from Mowich Lake (*OPEN ONLY mid July - 2nd week in October*) giving you seasonal access to a plethora of hiking trails including Spray Park and the very popular Tolmie Peak/Eunice Lake trail. Ours is a secluded/private site with easy access, perfect to set up as your base camp for hiking, biking and exploring the Carbon Canyon.  There is NO cell service or WiFi connection @ Lo Tahoma, unplug and enjoy! Lo Tahoma is only a 1/4 mile walk away to the Carbon River, a glacier-fed river that runs year-round.  Bring folding lawn chairs and sit a spell along the river's edge on a hot summer day. The north side of the Carbon River is lined with an extensive trail system (an unpaved section of the Foothills Rails to Trails) which parallels the river while winding through lush forest, mostly shaded, the temperature can be 10 degrees cooler here on a hot day. Our site features a clean gravel trail that forks in two directions leading you towards the Campsite and a timber frame Privy.  Parking is close by, with easy access from the driveway. Campsite can accommodate up to 2 medium & 1 small tent , includes one 10' x 10' raised tent pad with tarp covering overhead.  We provide a kindling kit and 1 large crate (12+ pieces) of dry hand-chopped firewood with each booking, additional firewood crates are available for $10 each. A covered sink station with hand pump is close by, providing fresh, non-potable well water.

Get Away for Peace
What a Quiet Peaceful amazing place to relax and enjoy. I was able to spend alot of time without modern distractions to write and create. They have a covered place to set up a tent, firewood and fresh eggs too. This is a for real place to tune into the internet free/ screen free silent time solo or bring the family and kids for a fair price to see cool earth skills in work and basically live in 1920. You know Ill be coming back!! Please read thier rules close. ( Like : No pets, Dont collect firewood.) Respect and Enjoy!

Great for families
We had a wonderful stay here with 2 adults and a 2 yo and 5 yo. The camp site is beautifully maintained. The land the campsite is on is magical and we loved the small trails the owners had marked out for walks. It is truly far from cell service which we enjoyed but is important to know in terms of planning. It is right up the road from the Carbon River entrance to MT Rainier NP. We would definitely come back again.

Gem of a place- our second visit. So close to Carbon entrance and AMAZING hikes. Secluded location with access to water via a pump, a very nice outhouse and campsite nestled in the trees. Ideal location

Magical. One can feel the love of thebland. Beautiful forest. Thoughtfully laid out. And the details with visitors in mind. It was an incredible space to come back and sleep after a day of exploring Mt. Rainier. Thank you!
