The Eagle's Rest is a lakefront cabin located on the north shore of the Lake Quinault inside the Olympic National Park. It offers 180 degree breathtaking view of the lake and the surrounding mountains. Among the many things to do around here, here are few popular options. In the morning or when sun comes out after the rain, watch the misty cloud rises slowly above the lake and the forest behind it. During the daytime, there are plenty of activities to do like hiking the rain forest trails, canoeing on the lake, and wildlife watching. In the evening, set up a campfire right next to the lake and share stories with family and friends.
The location of this cabin is wonderful and the views are spectacular. You can look straight across the lake to the Quinault Lodge. We had mist roll in over the mountains every evening and it was lovely.It was a good location to see many of the Ocean beaches and the Hoh Rain Forest.The cabin is pretty rustic as discribed so I was expecting this however, there was not much for cooking utensils and cookware supplies which was dissapointing since there are very few restaurants in the area and we planned to cook our dinners in the cabin. I made a recommendation for a few things I thought would be helpful. I hope they take note for the next guests. Watch the elevation change on the upper deck. There are many levels and its hard to see that there are steps down to the next level. I recommended they be marked. Its really hard to see at dusk. Overall it was fair but might make a different choice next time around.
House was dirty. The outside seating was very uncomfortable. Had a very musty smell. Washer flooded all over the floor⊠twice. And this was after the manager/owner said it was fixed but then texted a day later to not use the machine. There were cobwebs and mouse droppings in drawer. Very disappointed but the view was great. Would stay elsewhere for the view next time. The garage was the biggest mess Iâve ever seen and smelled that ran throughout the house. New fridge and dishwasher. Windows were filthy.
Beautiful log cabin, had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were so comfortable. The view from the deck is incredible, and the canoes were a wonderful surprise. Make sure to stay up late and catch the moon rising over the mountains, was quite possibly the most magical thing Ive ever witnessed. We seen a deer munching on the vegetation alot of slugs, they were so cool! Only problem was that the washer machine leaks, other than that it was a perfect getaway
Overall the cabin was a really nice place for a weekend at the lake. It had pretty much everything you need to enjoy the lakefront: grill, canoe, large porch to enjoy the view.
The house is dated but comfortable.Our family enjoy the amazing view from the deck. The lake was very calm in the morning so we were able to take out the canoe. The fire pit was nice also.
My husband and cousin and i enjoyed a few days exploring the Lake Quinault region of the Olympic National Park and Forest. This cottage location was very convenient. Lovely views of the lake and unusual beach area under a tree root backdrop. Very comfortable living quarters without being overly fussy. We were able to cook and enjoy meals outside on the deck and had dinner at the not too far away Lodge across the lake. We went out each day to explore and hike thru some memorable forest and unbelievable huge old trees. We had a great time thank you.
The view is stunning and a great location. However the house smells strongly of mold. It seems to be coming from the back bedroom and garage. We left early.
This property is perfect for a lake vacation. We would like to come back for a longer stay and enjoy the lake. We were there for the National Park so did not get to spend much time at the house. It was perfect for two couples. We each hadnour own bedroom and bathroom. Place was well stockdd and peaceful. Not the cleansst place but typical for a lake cottage.
We loved every minute of our time at this lovely lake cabin. It was a fantastic place to relax with family, play board games and venture out into the rainforest.
It felt like the cabin was an afterthought. Cobwebs on the lights and ceilings. The outdoor firepit was smashed and hard to get to. Oven handle fell off stove.
The view was awesome! The accommodations were not. Host was pleasant and communicated well when we messaged about problems. The description does say house is old and it is. But, remodling is a necessity. The house was more akin to a fishing cabin then a family retreat. -Not very clean. Cobwebs everywhere.-Kitchen not well stocked-Kept tripping breakers-Safety issues with deck to water. Especially for small children.-Didnt know there is a public water access right behind house. Got to know a lot of local fisher people.-Washing machine stopped working. -Couches heavily stained.-Shower head in back bathroom wouldn't stay upright. Positives: Plenty of things to see and do outside the house.
This property is absolutely spectacular! The view of the lake and mountains is just breathtaking. We used the canoes in the lake and saw a the most amazing rainbow over the lake. The decks are great for relaxing. The beds were super comfortable and house had lots of room. Wish we could have stayed here all week, instead of just a couple nights!
The house was great, but you come and stay for the views! We sat out on the deck all afternoon watching the kids play on the driftwood and in the water. The beds were comfortable. Appliances all worked well. Bathrooms were clean. Would definitely stay again!
We had a lovely weekend! The house had plenty of space for the four of us and our dog. The views were fantastic. Watching the weather move in and out over the lake was magical. We even managed a fire and smores by the lake in between the rain.Perfect distance for a day trip out to the coast.
The house is comfy, the view impressive, and the location is perfect for multiple national park activities. The deck alone is worth the entire property!
We are relative new and are learning how to manage vacation properties. Please keep in mind that this is an older cabin, not a five star hotel and we would like to keep it that way. Due to its remote location, it may take time to find someone to do repairs. Please let us know how to make your stay more enjoyable. . Thank you for your patience.
Gorgeous view the of lake and mountains. easy access to the hiking trails. We are continuously improving and add amenities to the property. Both bathrooms have been totally remodeled this winter(2021).
