Quiet, relaxing, and romantic. We stayed at the Angeles cottage and loved every minute of it. If you can't handle a little cold in the morning or were expecting to have a lot of counter space to prepare meals, you wouldn't be wanting to stay in a 1930's era restored cottage anyway. Divided light windows and pull-chain lights are all part of the charm of going back in time. But do pack a bathrobe for the morning, brrr! The mattress gave us the best sleep we had in a while, but if the sky is clear you might want to get up early or stay up late to do some stargazing. Maybe bring binoculars as well. We took the canoes out for a spin one morning (the lake gets windy and choppy in the afternoon but the morning was tranquil) and there are kayaks as well to borrow (included). read more

Loved the Olympus historic cabin! Stayed for 5 nights and wished I had stayed longer. Already want to go back. Next time it will be for a week. Everything was perfect - beautiful grounds (gardens), location (walk down to lake and in the Olympic National Park), and the views from the cabins. I think the photos on their website don't picture the cabins well enough (give them justice). All the cabins little interior details are historic and beautiful - cute curtains in every room, rag rugs, old fashioned light fixtures, etc. Also, they hit all the other important basic details -- clean, well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, and couch etc. In addition they gave you firewood for the fireplace. Plus they have paddle boards and kayaks available for your use. The Olympus cabin did have a screened in porch that I enjoyed. I also liked that it was in the gardens (lawn right out the kitchen door). Last thing to mention was easy unloading since this cabin is closer to the parking lot. Don't worry about it being close to the parking lot as it only holds about 6 cars. I never heard any of the cars coming or going. I did have to work one day and was able to use a hot spot. I was also able to watch Netflix from the hot spot. I would honestly like a TV, but can manage without one. Highly recommend this hidden gem and hope to come back soon. read more

On the edge of lake Quinault, this gorgeous retreat is an artist's dream- unending change in sky patterns and stunning scenery! Falling asleep and waking up in the cozy daybed overlooking the mountains was unbelievable. Rustic in the best way, simply stated kitchen and wonderful wood stove- would stay again and again! read more

Wonderful place! We stayed there over the Christmas holiday (Dec 23-25). We could not have been more pleased. The cabin was rustic but beautiful. Well-kept, clean, warm and cozy. Everything we could possibly need to exist was provided: plenty of dishes, cookware, kitchen tools, full-size refrigerator and freezer, gas stove. The gas heater in the living room kept the whole place toasty. The bed was comfortable and clean. Bathroom was small but everything worked perfectly. The wood-burning fireplace was fantastic (wood provided). The cabin overall had a warm and welcoming feel to it. Felt like coming home! We would highly recommend this resort to anyone for a peaceful and beautiful vacation. Thanks for a great Christmas! read more

My boyfriend and I had the most amazing weekend in the cabin ellinor. Such a cute little historic cabin! Super well maintained and cared for. The owners were great, they'd heated it up for us before we got there and made sure we had lots of firewood. Considering there are several cabins and the grounds aren't huge it felt very private everywhere we roamed. We enjoyed sitting by the lake watching the otters play and walking the beautiful grounds. And the location is great, so close to so many beautiful trails for hiking. I can only imagine it's lovely in the winter and summer as well, though fall was a pretty perfect time of year to experience this place. read more

The cabins are from the 1920's and 1930's and are nestled in the woods just above the edge of Lake Quinault. They are very place to spend a few days of complete peace and quiet and go hiking the trails around the lake. This place has not changed since the 30's except for a refrigerator and a microwave. It is a perfect way to turn out the outside world for a few days! read more

Lochaerie is an idyllic paradise in the middle of one of the most majestic national forests. We had unusually great weather during our visit. The view out the back of the storm king cabin was breathtaking. Nothing like waking up to the fresh mountain air and sparkling lake with a steaming mug of coffee. Our cabin was very cute and perfectly equipped to make some nice breakfasts (made with local blackberry jam). Then we'd enjoy some great hiking, swimming in the lake, and top it off with some wine and board games at night. There was a beautiful full moon during our visit. It was so quiet we slept like rocks. I usually have a terrible time sleeping. Our hosts Chris and Tom could not be more hospitable and welcoming. I only wish we could have stayed another few days! The perfect balance of rustic beauty and comfort! read more

This is one of those rare places that really sticks with you. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Loved the location, loved the cabin (Olympus), loved the grounds & loved the owners. A truly special place - Not to be Missed!!! read more

Living in Los Angeles can make you want to run away from civilization, so we went to Locharie Resort. There's several different cabins you can rent all with their own character which is completely charming. We went with the honeymoon cabin Christie. It's water front and the furthest from all the others so it's very wonderfully private. It has a really small old school refrigerator which we stocked full of goodies from Pike's Place. The kitchen is well equipped for all your basic cooking needs and the waterfront dining table view is very beautiful. There's a fireplace which will have you sweating up a storm come evening and the living room area has another bed that looks out onto the water (perfect for afternoon snuggle naps). There is also a small porch with a couple of chairs for enjoying the lake and reading or knitting. There are canoes which people rarely used and were available anytime we wanted one. The lake can get pretty choppy out there, but it's amazing being on the water. There's a family of otters that will show up in the evenings out front of Onion Rock and we saw a couple of bald eagles. Wow. The couple that run the place are very adorable and good natured. If your a fan for restored cars Tom has a beautiful GMC that is worth drooling over. The only reason I cannot give this place 5 stars is because they were having construction on a new main house. We wanted to go for peace and quiet but the sounds of hammering were grating. There's a great little yard up with the other cabins that we relaxed in on Sunday, but never went back because of the noise and activity. We even tried canoeing over to a small spot across the lake and could hear the hammering over there. Oh well. No matter what it was the best vacation we've had in a long time. I highly recommend this place to everyone. read more

Truly wonderful resort! We loved our 2 days in the cabin - it was cozy & comfortable, cute, & equipped with every necessity. The property was absolutely beautiful & so incredibly peaceful. The owners have taken care of every detail, firewood already set up in the woodstove, water activities for the lake, and even a grinder for the organic coffee beans we bought in their store. Lovely owners & property! read more

We recently enjoyed our 2nd stay here in the last couple of years. Tom and Chris were as always, fantastic hosts. We were pleased that the power went out from a freak squall that took down a hundred or so trees just down the road. Strangely, the minimalistic experience of staying there was enhanced. They gave us all the firewood we needed and we kept it warm and cozy and played board games by the window overlooking the moody, foggy lake. The only hiccup was our love of fresh-roasted/fresh-ground coffee the next morning and no way to grind it. I walked down the road to Tom and Chris' very friendly neighbor as I heard a small generator running. He was more than happy to let me plug in my burr grinder so we could get our fresh coffee going. (Chris has a hand grinder she offered, too). We've found that going to Lochaerie has consistently provided us with a much-needed 'reset' from our usually busy lives. To allow ourselves hours to read, hike, nap, sit by the lake or the fireplace or even walk around the cute cabin and feel the history---all of this brings us closer together and more appreciative of the things that really matter. I told Tom and Chris they should charge more if the power goes out. Excellent time out there and already looking forward to the next visit. I just don't know if we can try another cabin because we are so attached to the same one! Thanks Chris and Tom! read more

Like Gretchen, I came to Lochaerie Resort from the urban jungle of Los Angeles, where it gets about 300 days of sunshine a year. I am not a fan of sunny weather, so what better place to visit than one of the rainiest spots in the lower 48 during the rainiest month of the year (November). Yes, I purposely did this. I got the rain I so desired...in droves. If this is what you are seeking, look no further. Lochaerie is a truly beautiful place to experience quiet and solitude (especially in the winter), and Cabin Christie is the perfect balance of rustic and having the right amenities to be comfortable. It's situated just above the lake shoreline on Onion Rock (be aware the steps leading down to the cabin are steep and require a slower, steady pace to get there). The views are absolutely impeccable and the cabin itself is very cozy and comfortable. You have both a heater and a fireplace, and a single bundle of firewood is provided by the resort on a daily basis (which was more than enough for my needs). The bed is super comfortable and kept me warm during the cold nights. The kitchen also has a microwave (which may be a newer addition since Gretchen visited). In addition, the roof of the cabin was recently replaced, which proved to be very reassuring during a couple of heavier wind episodes. Even though I was there to go "off the grid" for a few days, my cell phone signal (Sprint) was fine. I was able to make calls as needed. Tom and Chris (who run the resort) were extremely friendly and helpful. Chris was very accommodating and flexible with me having to reschedule my stay, and they were both wonderful to finally meet. I was especially grateful for their help after I had a bit of an accident where I cut open my finger pretty bad. They helped me temporarily minimize the bleeding so that I could drive to the nearest hospital (about an hour away in Aberdeen) to get it stitched up. They really took care of me in every possible way during my stay. Lochaerie is as perfect as it gets if you need to reconnect with nature. You are centrally located to countless incomparable places (beaches, rainforest, etc.). You will never run out of beautiful places to see. I will definitely be returning in the hopefully not-too-distant future. read more

These cabins are the perfect get-a-way - no TV or WiFi. They are well stocked and all have an awesome view of Lake Quinault. The grounds are picture perfect and the owners make you feel so welcome. I definitely will stay there again and do more hiking in the rainforest. read more

We stayed in Colonel Bob and had a wonderful time. We certainly come back - the Hiking was amazing! ~ if the lake is open to boats~ read more

Loved this place, the historic cottage was so beautiful and had amazing views of the lake. The blankets and bedroom smelled so fresh and clean like everything had just been washed. The owners were kind and welcoming, loved the feel of the place. We were able to use their canoe for free and paddle across the river and then come back and make a super warm cozy fire. Would love to come back longer. read more

We would give this resort a 6 if we could..... from beginning to end, it was all we hoped for and more. Exceptional service, location, cabin, surroundings. Exactly as advertised. Owners/Operators Chris & Tom welcomed us, walked us down and into our cabin with our stuff, gave us clear instructions on everything in our cabin and throughout the property. We stayed in the "Angeles" for 2 nights, a cozy and quaint cabin built into the hill with a frontal Lake Quinault view, natural fireplace, full kitchen, steps down to the lake. Incredibly quiet & peaceful, all 6 cabins were full, we didn't hear anyone. Lots of wildlife. Beautiful and romantic "canoe beach" on site you can walk down to where they provide complimentary canoes and Adirondack chairs for enjoying a glass of wine or coffee while taking in the changing dawn/dusk changes. Chris & Tom clearly take pride in providing an exceptional experience for you, since they purchased the property in 1981. We can't wait to return, HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! read more

The owners Chris and Tom and incredibly friendly and helpful. We stayed in Col Bob cabin with a great view of the lake. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We spent alot of time down at the beach. Great spot for families. We spotted elk wading through the water across the lake. Only downside was not being able to take the canoes out on the water. Quinault tribe closed access to the lake. Overall, a great place to stay and relax. read more
