For the first time in US Open
history, its prestigious golf tournament is coming to the Pacific Northwest.
On June 15, Chambers Bay will open
its doors to golfers and guests from around the world. To quote the Chambers
Bay site: "With massive, rolling fairways,
towering dunes, undulating greens and unpredictable coastal winds, the
traditional linksland course will provide the world’s best with a test unlike
anything played at a U.S. Open.”
Yikes! Can you say
"challenging?"
Challenging also describes your
search for a room. Yes, any lodging worth having near Chambers Bay has been
booked for months. You can't sleep in your car or the nearby rest stop.
You're going to need a place to stay!

I'm going to recommend you look at
the cabins at Copper Creek Inn as well as their two cabins at Pirates Cove on Puget Sound. Both
venues allow you to be close enough to participate in all the events the Open
has to offer.
Sure you could stay in Seattle and
drive down I-5 joining the tens of thousands of other drivers in our
notoriously terrible traffic. Or, you could wake relaxed at the base of Mount
Rainier, have a leisurely breakfast at the Copper Creek Inn and drive through
towering pines and cedars to join the gallery at Chambers Bay each day of the
tournament.
Somehow roads lined with ferns and
native rhododendrons sounds like a better way to start the day. I'm just sayin'
. . .
If you're traveling with a group of
friends or family, the Great Getaways cabins are perfect for you. Every cabin
is unique and complete with everything you need
for your stay. You can literally walk in the door with a bag of
groceries, a couple of bottles of our famous Washington reds or locally produced artisan microbrews and find a fully stocked kitchen complete with a canister of the
specially roasted whole bean coffee served at Copper Creek Inn. 
In the morning,
you'll want a fresh cup of joe as you relax and breathe in the crisp, clean
air. The evening may find you up to your neck in warm water as you gaze up at
the stars in your own private hot tub. Each cabin includes a flat screen TV, a BBQ grill with propane, outside
seating, and, if you have an electric car, there is a complimentary electric
vehicle charging station.
You wouldn't go to
Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower or to Florence without visiting David,
would you? If you come to the Pacific Northwest, you have to see Mount Rainier.
Even for those of us who live here, no matter how many times we see it, it's
just as amazing as the first time.
Welcome! Give us a call. And, enjoy your stay.
