Very Accommodating
Our original lodging became unavailable to to an unforeseen circumstance. The staff at Manitou Lodge were so helpful and accommodating. We ended up staying in the lodge and had a blast. The rooms were great and fit us well. The community space in the lodge was great as well. We were comfortably able to play games and spread out. The only thing it lacked was a kitchenette. Otherwise, all was great. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommended. Communication was fantastic and staff were super friendly. The location worked great for us. We were able to explore La Push, Ruby Beach, Tree of Life, Hoh Rainforest, etc. Definitely come prepared food wise if you don’t plan on eating out every meal. There are microwaves, mini fridges and coffee makers. Closest store/restaurant closed at 7pm when we were there. There are more options along the main drag in Forks.(Grocery store and restaurants)

The fun factor of glamping is it’s positive qualities. It works but the advertisement is wrong. I had no fireplace (only one shared fireplace in the common area). No pool…wasn’t expecting one but ad said pool/spa. Overpriced for what was provided. Wifi was slower that cellular, no tv. Cramped 400 sqft two bedroom. I enjoyed my quiet stay, luckily no one else was there or I would be crowded. Need to know what you are getting into. If I had 5 friends all renting a room in the main lodge and we took over the common area, it might be a bette review. Advertisement is not correct, and too expensive

Cozy cottage near Rialto
We could stay at this cozy, comfortable cottage only one night but wish it could have been more. We loved the location among old-growth trees, dripping in the rain. While small, the cottage was warm and welcoming and worked well for the three of us. We appreciated how easy it was to get to Rialto Beach. We would gladly stay here again!

The living room and porch were a shared space, which was a surprise to us based on the pictures (we didn't read the description closely enough, I guess!), but even still the living room was a cluttered space with a sink randomly in the middle, a pile of shirts in a corner, a random sheet, a check in desk...just not super comfortable. I wasn't able to get pictures since it was locked randomly at one point. The property is in a beautiful corner of the woods, but we didn't spend much time outside, there were cars and trailers kind of randomly strewn about. The walls of the cabin are super thin, so we were kept up by our neighbor who were talking past midnight and up before 7am. The window screens were broken, so it was hard to keep the windows open on a hot night since bugs were getting in. Also, the only bathroom is accessed through a bedroom, so we didn't feel like we had convenient access to a bathroom, at risk of waking our friends in the middle of the night. I'd say it's good if you want like a rugged sort of "glamping" camping experience.

Nice cabin in great location
We had a lovely stay in the cabin. It's a great central location to visit the Hoh, Rialto Beach, Quinault Rain Forest, Ruby Beach and Cape Flattery.

We stayed in the owl. It was super cute and the lodge was cool with all sorts of things to do like chess and games and music.

great home base for exploring Olympic National Park
Clear and timely communication from host throughout. Convenient location for exploring various parts of the park. (very close to Rialto Beach!) Great to have all the games and puzzles in the lodge for a rainy day. We would definitely stay there again if we were in the area.

Happy family with dogs
Neatly furnish with rustic wood trim, very clean & updated plumbing. Lots of hot water. New towels & sheets. Two suggestions: new Korean fridge not freezing or cooling well. Trade it before warranty expires. Sweep bat dung daily off porch. Weather was perfect for walking!

A Wonderful Place to Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful remote, quiet property. Our room was beautifully decorated and the location in the forest was perfect. The lodge, what can I say, it was beautiful and comfortable. This place is an 11 out of 10. Will gladly stay there again.

You don’t get what you pay for
Pros. New mgr responsive and helpful. Adequate accommodations given location to Sol Duc and Rialto. Especially for a sleepover. Good parking. Cons. Unfortunately close to recent clear cuts. Woods on property better for campers, so lodge probably looks palatial. Unfortunately very dated and run down over years. Charged $35 cash for a non shedding hypoallergenic labradoodle. Overall pricevalue simply not there compared to other options. Owl cottage small. Dated. No kitchenette. No TV. Poor WiFi. Old beds. Limited cell service. Lodge supposed to serve breakfast said not able due to covid. Didn’t tell us so didn’t prepare. Somehow local diners were able? Biggest issue is price not consistent with value other places we stayed on Olympics.
