Outdoor garden space, located near HWY 101 on N Shore Rd. 5 min to the Lake, 10 min to the lodge.
We were pleasantly surprised by the location of the property to both the Olympic Park and Olympic Forest. The amenities were clean and well maintained. We will certainly be booking this property in the future.
Our stay was very comfortable with a living room and full kitchen and two bedrooms. The only thing missing was a welcome mat to clean our hiking shoes after a day exploring rainforests and the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. Very happy with our stay.
Photos donât do it justice.From the listing, it looks like a cozy cottage with its own garden, but in reality itâs more like a barn situated on the property of a roadside motel, right behind a grocery store and next to a busy road. It felt nothing like the peaceful retreat we were expecting. We didnât end up staying because the place didnât feel safe or private enough for us.Also, even though the listing says itâs pet-friendly, thereâs an additional fee unless your dog is a service animal, this wasnât clearly stated in advance. I wouldâve never booked this place if outside photos had been included in the listing.Also, while the listing says itâs pet-friendly, thereâs an extra fee unless your dog is a service animal â something that wasnât clearly disclosed upfront. I wouldâve never booked this place if the listing had included honest exterior photos.When we messaged the host about our concerns, the response was delayed and they didnât seem eager to find a solution. This was a 600 stay for just two nights, not a small amount. I travel often, every 2â3 months, and have stayed in many properties, but Iâve never had an experience quite like this one.
The location was great! Close to the coast and many great trails in the Quinault Rainforest. The place was very comfortable, quiet and well appointmented.
Spacious accommodation right by Quinault Rainforest!
Overall, this was a good basecamp for our time hiking in the Quinault Rainforest. The kitchen was fully stocked which made it easy to cook, and the space felt very spacious. The living room was very comfortable! It wasn't the cleanest - LOTS of pet hair on everything, floors were quite dirty, cobwebs in the corners, etc. - and it would have been nice to have had more blankets as it was quite chilly during our time there, but the heaters did help quite a bit. The main bed was comfortable, but the bunk bed mattresses are quite hard - a topper on them would be nice. Otherwise, decent place for what we needed!
This is a converted warehouse space, not really a cottage. There are two rooms attached to the space with locked doors, used by management and housekeeping. There is no soundproofing between those rooms and the rental space. Upon entering the unit we were met with a swarm of flies. We purchased fly swatters at the market next door and used them. The sheets, towels and surfaces appeared clean, but there were crumbs on the couch and a few other dirty spots. The bed was comfy and the space generally quiet except when the attached rooms were in use. Although the bed sat up high so you felt like you could fall off, and there wasn't enough space on either side for nightstands. An odd thing occurred which was a neighbor's dog with no collar came around and would not leave our dog alone. It wanted to play and would not stop. I had to take our dog in the car away from the property to do his business, and had to have someone distract and block the neighbor dog just to get back inside the unit. Supposedly the front desk person (owner?) knew about this dog and wasn't doing anything about it. (She has her own dog on the property which wasn't bothersome.) On the plus side, the location is good for activities around Lake Quinault in an area with very few pet-friendly lodging options. We had stayed two nights. However, we will not stay here again.
Was spacious and everything seemed new, however the cutting board had a clear snail slime trail on both sides, and I'm not sure how that would have happened, which made me question the cleanliness of the rest of the things.
Everything was great until I was chewed out by the property manager for requesting towels because I guess 3 towels for 4 people for 4 days is the standard and we're just supposed to hang and reuse them despite spending every day at the beach and coming back filthy and sandy. It was actually quite shocking.
Won't stay again.
We stayed at the property in a pinch because it was some of the only lodging in the area that accepted pets on short notice. The front desk was very polite, kind, and helpful. We checked in late and there as no issues doing so.
I did notice when we arrived that the cleanliness of the cottage was not where I would personally expect it to be. For example, there were crumbs on the couch and food/drink spots on the coffee table from previous guests. In the kitchen there were also food remnants on the island, a dead fly on the floor, and slight mold growing in the crevice of the refrigerator door. There are cleaning products under the sink, however, so we did do some light cleaning ourselves. This property could use a deep clean, but was not terrible.
The kitchen is outfitted with basic items, which is nice. The rooms are also well outfitted. The kids room has an arcade game and a foosball table. The cottage is also filled with games and apps on the TV already.
The most off-putting thing about the property are the two weird rooms that have outside access as well as access into the cottage - but only from inside the rooms. They are locked from the inside so someone could theoretically get into the cottage from those rooms, but you cannot get into the rooms from inside the cottage (without a key). They do actively use these rooms (one of them is where the "no vacancy" sign is), as I assume they're storage. But them having direct access into the cottage is very weird.
This is a very spacious accommodation. The kitchen is very well equipped. No paper towels or sponge are provided. Overall the space was tidy, but the floors could use a good cleaning. Our feet were very dirty if walking around barefoot.
