We had a wonderful time at this property. The surroundings are gorgeous and we loved the trails right on site. Everything is so well maintained. We got lucky with the weather and enjoyed relaxing in the peaceful outdoor setting. It also made the perfect base for outings to the rainforest and beaches. Kamala was a very gracious host. We hope to be back.

The home was exactly as we expected and felt like we were staying in a family cabin. The real magic was the location and the stunning property, including the short hikes through the forest, which we were able to enjoy because of the remarkably pleasant weather.

Perfect Hoh Rainforest Location
Cabins aling the road into the Hoh Rainforest were booked, so we reserved this place. This cabin is not on a major road, so no cars bother you ever, which is not the case for the other cabins. After driving by the other cabins to walk the Hoh trails, we are so happy we got this place instead. The property has short trails that meander through the area and show off various characteristics of rainforests. There's also a firepit and a gazebo. The beds were comfy and there were space and baseboard heaters to use as well as extra blankets and pillows. Make sure if you plan on cooking any meals there, you bring all the food and butter you might need. The nearest store is about 20 minutes away.

The house and property were clean, quiet, comfortable, and well stocked. Instructions for everything were easy to follow. The property is incredible and just as gorgeous as the national parks around it with the benefit of having it all to yourself. We’re already planning a return trip with a much longer stay to be able to enjoy the property and surrounding beaches to the fullest.

Snow & Moss
This little cabin was perfect for me and my husband to have a little get away. The house is surrounded by forest and there are little trails on the property. It snowed and the mossy trees looked beautiful in it. It's only a 15 minute drive to Ruby Beach & even less to the rainforest trailhead.

We stayed for three nights and appreciated the location for the hiking trails and activities we had planned. The cottage is as described/represented. This is a quaint, humble and comfortable cabin in the woods. I don’t believe there to be a better experience in the area if you are looking for peace, privacy and reconnecting.

Great location for Western side of ONP
This is the quietest vacation rental I've stayed in. It's an ideal location if you want to visit the western attractions and beaches at Olympic Nat'l Park. There's a mini rain forest out your back door, which made it extra special. Fully equipped kitchen with everything imaginable in the drawers! The host was very friendly and accommodating.

Visit to Olympic NP
Kamala phoned us twice before our arrival to assure we knew everything required to access her lovely vacation home. She has thought of everything inside and outside of the home to assure a comfortable, welcoming home for visitors. In addition, Kamala offered and provided assistance to us after our rental car ended up with two flat tires as we were leaving the Hoh Rainforest. Watch out for the gouges in the edges of the road, where it has fallen away and needs to be repaired! Kamala met us as we walked up the driveway on our second eve., following the flat tires, after the kindly Eagle Towing company owner dropped us off. In the morning, she popped up to check on us, provided carts to move our belongings to the edge of the Oil City Road, where we waited for our replacement car to arrive, and visited with us while we waited. She is a welcoming, caring host. Our only suggestion for the property is to upgrade the electrical service, which would eliminate the need for lots of extension cords, and consider installing a mini split heat pump, which would allow for more even, comprehensive heating while using less energy. Overall, a lovely, quiet setting, and clean home whose owner is warm and welcoming.

The property was great, especially the trails through the woods that allowed the boys and I to enjoy nature while waiting for Mom to get ready to go somewhere. Great location, midway from beaches and rainforest. The trail and beach down at "Oil City" (no coffee stand there, sadly) was a real hidden gem, a wild beach and mostly vacant.

Beautiful Property in Perfect Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Location of the cabin is ideal for visiting Hoh Rain Forest and Ruby Beach. We left the cabin at 7:15am and when we arrived at Hoh there were only 5 cars in the lot. We had the Hoh River Trail all to ourselves! If the night skies are clear, turn off all the cabin lights, go outside, and look up - you'll get a beautiful view of the stars. We had the pleasure of meeting Kamala. She's very nice and she shared stories about the history of the property. Perfect cap to our stay. Thank you, Kamala!

Great location! Beautiful rainforest property
The cabin is small and simple (a very tight kitchen/cooking space so suggest planning simple meals) but the surrounding property is stunning. The short walking trails around the home are just as beautiful as the easy walking tracks in the Hoh Rainforest National Park without the crowds. We very much enjoyed the solitude and the cabin was perfectly placed for exploring the National Park and visiting La Push and Ruby Beach. Outdoor shower was a beautiful bonus.

Rainforest Getaway
We loved that we could start and end our day with a private walk around the property. The trails around the house often surpassed in beauty the trails we went to visit elsewhere and hanging out in the gazebo or on the porch was a favorite pastime. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed having some space to play frisbee and chase her ball and the grassy greenspace around the house was perfect for that. The house itself is as advertised, a dated cabin, but rustic is not the right word for it as it has everything you could need, even a washer and dryer. Good coffee is about 20 minutes away in Forks and a good beach (Ruby Beach) is about the same distance. The store in Forks is a fully fledged grocery store and has everything you could need. We even bought mini cheesecakes to eat while we watched the sunset at the beach. If you are looking for a remote getaway for relaxation, this is your place. My friends were jealous and all want to book the cabin themselves.
