Copper Creek Inn Restaurant & Lodging

I didn't stay at the inn, but ate and celebrated my birthday at the restaurant. The staff were amazing and the food was great. The staff surprised me with singing and ice cream. The staff were so personable and caring. I also love both the strawberry and raspberry wines ohh they're to die for. The blackberry pie and blackberry vinegarette is also amazing. Thank you for a wonderful celebration and it was truly one of the best birthdays ever!

My dad and I didn’t stay here but we did eat here. It was a nice small little place and the food was delicious. I had chicken strips with fries. My dad had the Copper Creek Dip with Onions and Cheese added on and fries as a side. We both enjoyed our food. We both got a slice of Blackberry Pie Ala Mode and it was fantastic.

This review is just for the restaurant. This place is such a cute place when visiting Mt. Rainier. We arrived before the dinner rush and it was still busy. We grabbed two seats at the counter. I love the counter vibe! I got the sandwich with a cup of the seafood chowder. The place gets busy so get here early and please be patient with the staff. They really were rushing around and understaffed and were trying their best. I got a slice of the pie to go to eat in my cabin.

We did not stay here but ate at the restaurant. The place has a nice atmosphere and the food was good compared to other local spots. Burger could've been a touch less done, the fries were super fresh and crunchy. We didnt try it but the blackberry pie is made in house and looked amazing. Not sure his name but the gentleman who served us (long mustache, friendly smile) was beyond professional and kind. He is the epitome of what great service that leaves a lasting memory looks like. Thank you!

The restaurant used to be good, with real food, fresh bread, Huckleberry butter, etc. Somehow now just a place with reheated processed food. Chicken burger was OK. Seafood soup was dreadful. The blackberry pie is all that seems to remains of what was once a great place. Too bad.

We stopped by this restaurant during our drive to Aberdeen and were pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere was great, and we ordered the garlic bruschetta, coconut shrimp, and veggie burger. Everything was delicious, but the coconut shrimp really stood out — highly recommend giving it a try! 😋

On our drive out of the park, we happened across this hidden gem of a restaurant. The beef stew was awesome, with hearty chunks of tender meat and carrots. The baked-goods, produced by their in-house bakery chef, were not to be missed: the blackberry pie was out of this world! Our hostess Becky was kind & friendly and took great care of us!

Cute little place and super friendly staff! It’s a nice place to stop for lunch before or after visiting Mt Rainier or when staying out in Ashford. Normal wait times, good music, and great fries.

With only one waitress & person on the floor, she handled the whole pies I came there to pick up (got 3, called in for 2 & they were baked ready to eat), plus took & served my lunch, a very tasty cheeseburger with grilled onions, onion rings substituted for the fries was very tasty with their tarter sauce, and coffee to wash it down. The young lady was very friendly & attentive, handling the store front & waitressing the restaurant including clearing tables for the next customers. The meal was so filling I had no room for dessert, and I can't wait to cut into one of the baked blackberry pies later. Things I learned is try to visit when it is not tourist season, and make sure you try their little wild blackberry pie, ala mode' of course. I'd even recommend taking a whole pie home, I have not found anywhere that comes close to an old fashion country home baked tiny wild blackberry pie like my mom & several relatives & friends. This is the second year I've made a special drive out to this restaurant, just for the pie, and enjoy the drive out there, really need to leave earlier so I can enjoy more of it including dropping into the Mount Rainier park.

What an adorable restaurant! Quaint, cozy mountain cafe. Our waiter was very friendly and provided fantastic service. I got the copper creek dip and my husband ordered a chicken sandwich that had an Italian feel to it. The copper creek dip was not good- the meat was so dry and not seasoned, neither was the au jus. I should have gotten it with cheese and caramelized onions so it would have had some flavor. The fries were fantastic though- perfectly crispy and seasoned beautifully. My husband loved his chicken sandwich- it was flavorful and cooked well. I also got a glass of their copper creek Chardonnay and it was so good.

Looking through pictures from fifteen years ago, I realized that I have a picture of the outside of this place... and I kept it for some reason. I remember the food being amazing. And the inside being fun, but what really gives this 5 stars is its location. Happy it still exists. After spending the day in Paradise and Rainer NP, this was a nice way station.

My son and I stopped on May 22nd for dinner and were seated immediately. We both had the clam chowder for an appetizer. Our entrees were the Copper burger and the Tuscan chicken sandwich. We both had local ciders with our meals. A blackberry milkshake to finish it off. All the food was delicious. Caroline FH provided excellent service and conversation. Rustic atmosphere with a small dining area. Portable restrooms or a flush toilet are available by going out the front and entering a kitchen access area. Seattle prices but in Ashford. There is no service fee, but parties of 6 or more are automatically tipped 20%. A small gift shop is included within the restaurant. Very limited parking.

Sat for 30 minutes and NOT ONE TIME WERE WAITED ON. no water, no menus and No food. No we will never bring our business back.

Amazing place!! So cozy. Great food and service. Would return again and again. Perfect location outside of Mt. Rainer.

Loved it! We came here while staying at a local cabin to get a to go order to take back to our cabin. We stopped in here and it was so cute! It even had a little gift shop that we got a few things at to support local. From the minute we walked in to the minute we left everybody we came in contact with was absolutely amazing. They were so kind and helpful recommending different food to try. They have homemade bread that is so good. It comes with blackberry butter that is great. We will be back anytime we are in Ashford and can't wait to try something else.

What an amazing place to family vacation/plan sweetheart getaway / or host a wedding/ baptism/church retreat/ work team building retreat! I guess you can tell we had an amazing getaway weekend at Copper Creek Inn. My husband and I have it on the calendar for next year as well. The property and cabins were very well maintained. The property was absolutely beautiful! Nestled away from the hustle and bustle of business! Did I mention the hot tubsss on site and many are hidden behind your cabin under beautiful set up!! We went last month June 2025 and the weather was a little chilly but the fire pits outside each cabin made for a romantic setting and marshmallows lol We were so awe stuck by the inside of the different cabins from one room to several rooms large enough for one or several family/families. The cabins have everything you need from large refrigerators/ stove / gas heat etc. All of the above were five starts!!! However, if we could give this lodge a 10 we would!!!! Because of the excellent service and attitudes of the staff was just amazing!!! We had the opportunity to meet the owners and other team leads and the staff professionalism, hospitality and pride in serving their guest definitely is a reflection of their owners excellent work ethics, down to earth personality and their vision for customer service at Copper Creek Lodge INN! From the owners to the staff friendliest and attention to our needs and us having a memorable stay were at the top of their list!!! In addition, to the service a 10 would definitely be warranted for the little cozy cafe down the street that goes with the lodge! The cafe was clean and the staff nice and oh that BLACKBERRY PIE was delicious!!!!!!!!!! No wander its consider their famous pie it was really good wish we could've taken it back on the plane lol however, I hate my two slices before even getting 30 minutes out it was so good and yes they have vanilla ice cream and other breakfast/lunch/ dinner on the menu at reasonable prices it's definitely a must visit! Finally, the last of why we would give Copper Creek Inn a 10 stars is the location!! It's located less than a mile to the Mt. Rainer State Park!!! I kid you not!!! Talk about a great location!!! It honestly don't get any better than that! The views were breathtaking and there was snow on the mountains! We have already made plans to go back and this time is Texans will bring thick jackets and winter clothe lol live and learn not every place is a 100% in June lol! I believe you'll get the idea lol this is definitely a gem you want to add to your bucket list now than later! Seriously it's worth the trip!!! You will leave feeling reconnected to family and friends, refreshed, rejuvenated, at peace, and ready to go back and start life without the load and stress you carried in! We are more than sure you/yall lol won't be disappointed by the Copper Creek Inn Team or the property / or the amazing memories you will make ! Hope this review helps I'm not big on reviews unless it's earned and they truly earned our time and review Way to go entire Team of Copper Creek Innin the military a high recognition for excellence service/attention to detail (s) we say Bravo Zulu it mean JOB WELL DONECOPPER CREEK INN TEAM!!! Thank you Thomas and Laura

The food was super tasty and very afforable, the service was great with everyone on the staff, I like the cozyness and aesthetics of the place, I want to come here again when I visit rainier

Great people. Delicious food. We had such a nice sweet waitress who we enjoyed!!! Their blackberry everything (butter, pie, vinaigrette salad dressing) was to die for!!! All so yummy!! Little cafe right outside of Mt Rainer! We will be back!

Service was really good!! I ordered a French dip and it wasn't what it should've been for 14$. The burger on the other hand was good. I ordered a slice of pie for 10$ after tax veryyyy overpriced and mid. Especially for a "homemade" pie I expected better quality and love put into it.

What a wonderful little place outside Mt. Rainier. This gem has great home cooked comfort food. We were there for brunch. The place was packed and the service was spot on. Even though they were busy we still got constant attention. The coffee was excellent. I got the chicken fried steak breakfast, my wife got the Denver omelette. The food is served in large portions. My sister got the special and my brother-in-law got the Sunrise breakfast. Such a great experience. I recommend this place if you are hungry and need some great home cooking. Worth a stop going to Mt. Rainier.

Very few food options around this area, and the prices do reflect that. However, with that said, the food was good. Quaint place. Small, once it got further into dinner time, there were some people that were waiting for others to get up. I got the alfredo, it was good. Waitress recommended the cheesy bread with it, and she was right, the best part! One of my favorite parts was the custom cups! Nice touch!

For what it's worth, I don't expect much in the way of great food in small towns. The wait was long: 40 mins to be seated, ~40 mins for food. They kept mentioning the Bison burger special, but they had run out, so it was disappointing. The blackberry lemonade was good, and the best thing was the mini loaf with blackberry butter (we bought some butter to go). The coconut shrimp was also good. Everything else left quite a bit to be desired. The chili was lukewarm, as was the seafood chowder. It needed something else, so I put Tabasco and pepper in it. My BLT was meh. All in all, go here for baked goods or if you're really hungry and have no other options. The outdoor bathroom was odd, but I get that it is what it is.

What a wonderful dinner we had here at this small (10 tables, one counter) restaurant on the busy highway just west of Mt. Rainier National Park. The Chicken Parm with Fettuccine included two breaded chicken breasts cooked perfectly on top of a generous serving of fettuccine with a nice tomato sauce, plus a soft white bun and their in-house blackberry butter. It was the night's house special. The Seafood Chowder bowl was a 12 oz. bowl with a local sourced white fish, some clams (?), and potatoes in a white broth, plus the bun. The side salad included all sorts of carefully cut vegetables. We were greeted promptly, then seated within 15 minutes and ordered. The restaurant became very busy soon after but the amazing and positive staff worked hard to get everyone after us seated as soon as possible. Come early to avoid the rush. Closed on Tuesday and Wednesday it seems.

After a day of hiking or just exploring Mt Rainier National Park, just outside the park you will find Copper Creek Inn. Nice atmosphere, good service and friendly staff. The food was delicious, if only I could eat more. I will attach pictures of the food I ordered. So delicious, stop in and grab yourself a bite. You won't regret it!

If you want to experience a bite to eat, and a drink at the "Holiday Inn" you need to come visit the Copper Creek Inn. A bit of nostalgia, good food, and warm charm Chad our server was so kind and accommodating. Cheers!

Three of us enjoyed lunch here on a Thursday in September. The seafood chowder, cheeseburger, Tuscan chicken sandwich, chicken strips and fries were all very good. The wild blackberry pie was the real deal. We liked it so much, we bought a whole pie to take home. The staff members were nice and friendly. The atmosphere was rustic and cozy. As my husband says, "It's great place for being in the middle of nowhere." Actually, if you're a hiker, it's not nowhere. Copper Creek Inn is less than ten minutes from the Ashford entrance to Mt. Rainier.

Cute little diner with great customer service. Their special today was blueberry pancakes with blackberry sauce with eggs and bacon. We got the biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon; biscuits and gravy with hash browns and eggs; the special; chicken fried steak; pancakes. Overall food was delicious, coffee was good (but a little weak), and service was great!

The best restaurant in all of Ashford, and this is after having tried all the restaurants in this town. The staff was so friendly, attentive, and professional, which was very different from our experiences at the other restaurants in Ashford. We got the fish and chips and burger. I liked the way they battered the cod and the burger meat was pretty juicy. Fries were pretty good too, but not that crispy. The blackberry pie really blew me away. I got it with ice cream because I was worried the blackberries would be too sour (I ate at Wildberry Restaurant the night before, and their blackberry pie was so sour), but they were just about ripe which made for a really great pie. I think it's fine with or without the ice cream. I also tried a glass of Huckleberry wine, and it was a very generous serving with the amount of liquid nearly filling to the rim. I like sweet wines, so this was perfect for me.

This is a gem outside of the paradise entrance. I've had breakfast take out here twice. The food is fairly good and it seems they're known for their blackberry homemade goods. They also have a few gift shop items you can look at while you're waiting. I'll say that I'm not thrilled with the customer service.. Both times I've walked in, it's surprising that nobody greets or acknowledges me. There's no eye contact or "we'll be right with you". And each time it has taken them a few minutes to come to the register to see what I'm asking for.

Service was fantastic. Our waitress was very accommodating and quick to get us everything we needed. The food... was amazing. Easily the best we've had on our trip through the state. We had burgers, chicken fingers, and some kind of specialty chicken sandwich, which was delicious! The fried were banging, and we also had a side of the parm garlic fries, which were super yummy! We ended the meal with the brownie sundae, and it was huge! It was a quiet little restaurant right off the main road to the Mt Rainier entrance. It's definitely worth the stop, and cost less than most of the meals on our journey so far.

We wanted to grab a late lunch before heading to Seattle. It was around 2pm and this place was poppin'! There was a wait, but I think we were seated in about 20 minutes. The waitress took our order soon after we were seated. I ordered the cheese burger in paradise and my husband got the beef stew. The cheese burger was okay and after adding some fresh red onions and tomatoes slices that came with it, it boosted the flavor. The beef stew was good. It was a little bland, but the meat was tender. The roll that came with the stew was amazing. Especially when you pair it with the blackberry butter.

Came in late afternoon after hiking - classic American dishes for fair prices. Highlights were the spinach artichoke dip with toast and the blackberry pie a la mode. The crust was warm and the filling was fresh and not overly sweet. Our waitress was amazing and gave us an extra bit of pie because it was too small to sell. Great service overall, highly recommend dropping by if around the Paradise/Ashford area!

Service was wonderful. Nice and quiet so we could have conversation. Unfortunately the stew wasn't what we were expecting when we upgraded our sides. We were offered another option but we were already done eating our sandwiches so we declined. Thankfully our server took it off our bill without us needing to ask.

We stayed in the Copper Creek Log Cabin which was such a delight - very spacious with so many thoughtful details that made the stay so comfortable. The private hot tub is the reason we originally booked this cabin and it was 100% worth it and really made our trip - it was awesome to be able to sit in the hot tub in the middle of a forest! There is very limited wifi, which was a pleasant surprise as it forced us to be more present. And of course, it was super accessible to Paradise. One thing to note - we didn't realize there would be a little kitchenette, which was actually very handy! Since we hadn't planned for that we ended up eating at the restaraunt attached to the Inn, which was not amazing and overpriced. So I'd highly recommend bringing your own ingredients and cooking if you want to save some money!

This place was so cute! Such a shame the food is extra mid. Even their pie that they are known for.... was just okay... floppy crust and unbalanced sweetness. I regretted spending my money here but if you like sute ambiance I would go for a coffee.

Stayed in the area for a girls weekend getaway. The Copper Creek Inn was the cutest little stop for breakfast and dinner. Delicious food all around. The blackberry butter and syrup is amazing with pancakes. I loved the atmosphere and the service was fabulous.

Great food great ambiance and make sure to get the pie with ice cream! Before a long day of hiking, we decided to fuel up here and it was the best decision ever. What a cute spot. It's exactly as you would want to find in this location. I had the chili which was delicious. We had the spinach, artichoke dip, and my boyfriend got a sandwich. Of course we had pie as well. Service was great. Everyone was very friendly and we had a very nice meal and a great experience here.

Took my pregnant wife here after visiting the national park for our 1 year wedding anniversary in anticipation for the famous blackberry pie only to have the server screw up our order after waiting thirty minutes for a grilled cheese and chicken sandwich we left utterly disappointed. 10 out of 10 would not recommend especially if pregnant.

We ate at the Copper Creek Inn twice during our stay in Ashford. Our first night, I had the cheeseburger and my boyfriend had the Paul Bunyan Burger. Both burgers were juicy and satisfying. I also loved the fries! Perfectly crunchy and seasoned very well. we also ate the onion rings and those were delicious! (We were so hungry we forgot to take pictures) The second time we ate here, we both ordered the beef stew with a side of fries. The stew was perfect for this cold weather and satisfying. The best part of our meal was dessert! We ordered the blackberry pie with ice cream and wow! I'm not a pie girl at all but this pie was delicious! The pie was a perfect balance between sweet and tart. Overall, the Copper Creek Inn is a must-try. The service was great and the restaurant was homey!

We had breakfast on the day we checked out of the Paradise Inn on Mt. Rainier. My wife saw the reviews and suggested we give it a try. At about 10AM, the parking lot was packed and there were no tables available so we sat at the counter. Coffee was served quickly and we put in our order for the special, huevos rancheros. They were so busy that it took over 30 minutes to get our food. They checked with a frequently and refilled our coffee and brought us water. When our food came, it tasty and we enjoyed it but we have had better versions of this dish in many places and this seemed expensive at $18.95 but a deal compared with the $35 breakfast buffet at the Paradise Inn. Many of their other dishes were less expensive and looked large and delicious. This place is well worn and lots of surfaces including the counter and the front door are a bit sticky. The single bathroom is outside and had a waiting line. The country ambiance is genuine and the people are hard working and friendly. I would come back again on our next visit to Rainier.

The food is AMAZING! The service, not so much! Waited a long time to even get a waitress. They are kids btw. No one knew what they had. Tables were sticky. Not very well organized. Don't expect your salad before the meal either!! Maybe the front end is ran by the kid hostess?!?

The absolute best pie ever is Copper Creek's blackberry pie! It's worth going out of my way and driving from Seattle just for this pie. The food is also very good here as it's diner food and fitting for the area.

Food was adequate. For a small restaurant they were pretty popular, everyone that helped us was kind but the wait time was absolutely atrocious. Waited about 20 minutes to actually have our order taken and 45 minutes for the food to arrive. It wasn't our servers fault maybe they're low on staff but definitely not ideal to be waiting for over an hour just to eat. The blackberry pie was definitely the highlight of my night, I would definitely go back just for a takeout of that pie.

Delicious food at a reasonable price and the service is excellent. This cozy lil spot is unassuming as you drive by it but once inside, it's diner-like feel is inviting. The food is good, coffee is good, the blackberry jam and butter so delicious! Thank you, Cathy, for the hospitality.

We stopped by yesterday for lunch. Our family has been going to Copper Creek for decades and decades and we haven't been here for a decade, but we went yesterday and had their delicious blue cheese hamburger with onion rings. It was the best hamburger I have ever had highly recommend this place

Came here on a busy holiday weekend so it may have just been one of those nights but it wasn't great. Really long wait for table was fine but they got backed up in the kitchen and it ended up being a long wait to eat after ordering too. They were out of what I wanted too. On a positive note the blackberry butter they make is really good.

Very nice little place on the way to the national park. Cozy, clean. Small, but fantastic menu. Don't miss the pie. Hours and seats are limited so get there early.

This place was amazing. The home made rolls and focaccia bread were the best I have had. The blueberry butter was great. The portions were generous. Great chilli, large salad and sandwich's all well made. Great friendly and welcoming service. This was a great change of pace from what we have experienced on our trip. While most place were good for dinner food this was many steps above the rest b

Great experience at Copper Creek for our family of 5. Burgers, salads, pasta, and even corn dogs for the little guy. Everyone LOVED their meal. Highly recommend!!!

This is an awesome place to have a meal. From the outstanding staff to the great food, worth the stop. We choose to stop by on the way back down from the mountain (the back up was over 2 miles by that time - noon) to have lunch. We were greeted with a friendly smile, had an awesome server, and really enjoyed the experience. And we had to buy a few things from the little shop too. The atmosphere was very welcoming and seemed very laid back. Pretty much a "local" vibe that welcomes everyone. Worth the time - great meal and experience.

The Copper Burger with cheddar and pepper Jack was amazing. Service was super friendly and even friendlier when they were busy. The blackberry butter is worth taking home. The overall feel was old time diner. To the management--Chantelle deserves a raise. She was a one woman show running the front, waiting tables and getting the side orders all at once.

Stopped here for lunch after hiking. Waitress was wonderful. Had seafood chowder and the artichoke spinach dip. Both had amazing flavor and truly hit the spot. Just wish I had left room for pie. Next time.

What a nice little place tucked away near the base of Mt. Rainier. The spinach and artichoke dip was very good. I liked the little crostini bread they served it with. My wife had the French dip with fries and it was tasty as well. They were even able to provide some horseradish for her to make a sauce with for the sandwich. I opted for a bowl of chili which I thought was very good. It was served with a little loaf of bread, some cheese and onions on the side, as well a a couple different butters for the bread. I did think it strange there was strawberry butter for chili but that didn't stop me from eating it. We got some copper toppers to go and they were fair at best but the pie was really good. All in all, it is most definitely worth a visit if in the area.

Amazing blackberry sauce so be sure to at least order some pancakes. The pie is also amazing.

Stopped here with my dad after a long day of hiking and it hit the spot! I got a cup of the beef stew (quite tasty) and my dad got the seafood chowder (a little bland, greatly improved by the table salt & pepper). However, the real star of the show was the blackberry pie. WOW. What a scrumptious pie! The warm crust and slightly tart blackberries paired with the cold vanilla ice cream was to die for. It was perfectly balanced flavor wise and was surprisingly not soggy. I'm still dreaming about that pie! Our waiter was friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be coming back if I return to Mt. Rainier National Park!

My wife and I stopped by for late lunch after we hiked a part of rainier and we were really impressed with the food and service. The inside is pretty standard for an old timey diner, and the service was quick and everything we quite good.I had the blue cheese burger and garlic parm fries which were very solid and my wife had the sea food chowder as well as a blue berry lemonade. The roll that came with the chowder was honestly the highlight of the meal (along with the blue berry butter that came with it). Overall we really enjoyed our meal.
