A conference room and offices are housed on the upper level, with the basement contains mechanical equipment and a jail cell.

The community room's interior features exposed scissor-truss log roof framing, with a large stone fireplace at one end.

The masonry of the fireplace is distinctive, with roughly squared stone in the lower portion giving way to round glacial boulders.

Original furnishings include light fixtures and log tables resembling those at the Paradise Inn.

The construction of all three was supervised by Ernest A. Davidson, a Park Service landscape architect assigned to Mount Rainier.
