Nestled just seven miles outside of the Nisqually River entrance to the picturesque Mount Rainier National Park lays one of South Pierce County’s most enchanting historic landmarks—the Ashford Mansion. A luxurious Colonial Revival-style home built in 1903 by Cora Ashford, for whom the little town of Ashford draws its name; the Ashford Mansion has served throughout its rich history as a private residence, as well as a Bed & Breakfast prior to being taken up and carefully restored by its current owner.
