We loved staying here at Log Cabin Resort - clean and cute and big enough for parents and two older sons. Right on the lake, with Adirondack chairs in the shore. Peaceful. 5 stars. The morning we were leaving, we went to eat in the restaurant. CADY was working the entire restaurant alone, and she was on fire. She was the only waitress AND bus person. She was amazing. The kitchen made us a lovely breakfast that was tasty. As we casually enjoyed our breakfast, CADY was quickly and efficiently running the front room continuously. She felt the need to apologize to people whenever she felt they waited to long, but she was already doing so much, and everyone said it was all fine, no worries. I've had nightmares like this, where I'm responsible for the whole restaurant. I felt for CADY, but she always had a smile on her face. I told her, as a former waitress, that she was simply amazing. The food was good, too! read more

It should be a crime to charge what they charge for their Boathouse Burger. Thin chewy patty not worth $24 plus $5 tip = $30. Also hours on the NPS website are wrong. Best thing was the server and the views read more

I would recommend tent camping or find other lodging. I wanted to love this place because the location on Lake Crescent is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, our experience with Chalet 1A was very disappointing. We booked our stay in June 2025 for a June 2026 visit. At the time of booking, the resort map showed a communal fire ring. We planned our meals and family activities around being able to cook over a fire and roast marshmallows with our young children. When we arrived, we were informed that the communal fire pit was no longer available. We were not notified of this change before our trip, despite booking a year in advance. The chalet only has a mini refrigerator and microwave, so this significantly affected the plans we had made. The condition of the chalet was an even bigger concern. During our stay, I had a mouse run between my legs in the middle of the night while I was in the bathroom. We also heard mice running and chewing every night, and there was evidence of rodent activity in the chalet. I encountered many carpenter ants, including swarmers, and even woke up with one crawling on my face. There were also maintenance issues, including a broken bed frame, large openings in the exterior of the building, a large gap in the back door between the frame, and exposed sharp metal on the floor. To the resort's credit, management responded to the maintenance concerns after I reported them. They acknowledged that the condition of the chalet negatively affected our stay, stated that the issues had been referred to maintenance, and offered a 30% refund of our lodging charges. Even with the 30% refund, I personally would not have paid that amount to stay in the chalet given the condition we experienced. I've gone backpacking and tent camping where I felt more comfortable than I did in this chalet. read more

August 5, 2025 - Lake Crescent, Olympia National Park While exploring the area, we decided to stop by the Log Cabin Resort to check it out and see if we could grab some lunch. The road in is long and narrow, but we took it slow and had no issues. We arrived a bit before they opened, so we waited in the lakeside chairs and enjoyed the view. We ordered the Spinach Salad and the Southwest Chicken Salad--both were delicious. Since we had our pup with us, we sat at one of the outdoor picnic tables. It was a very brief visit, so I can't comment on the accommodations, but for our purposes it was a nice stop. read more

You will love the lake views! So peaceful and quiet. Lake was clear and easily accessible. Plenty of parking for all vehicle sizes. Cabins have decent beds, bath, and mini-kitchen. Gift shop and restaurant on site but you really need to get your supplies in Port Angeles in advance. It was a great location for the North side of the park. We really liked the day trip to Sol Duc Hot Springs as well as the hike to Mink Lake beforehand. Don't rely on your GPS as I will miss the entrance! The signage is clear and the address is also posted near street. read more

Wow, it is so hard to give this place a low rating. Especially because it is truly in one of the most beautiful places on earth: Lake Crescent inside the Olympic National Park. But that's where the magic ends. This was simply NOT a pleasant place to camp in our RV for four nights this summer. We had visited last year and had a much better campsite, which made the experience a bit more pleasant. The campsites (which are NOT full hookup, by the way - the website is NOT accurate) are very narrow and you don't get to choose ahead of time which site you're in. So you may end up in a nice site like we were in last year, or you might end up in the site from H-E-double-chopsticks we found ourselves crammed into this year. Seriously, there was about 2 feet around our modest, 25-foot travel trailer on either side. On one of those sides, another campsite was occupied by chain smokers who took their puffing very seriously. Even though the weather was pleasant, we had to leave our windows closed whenever they were outside. They also let their dog wander around (you know the types: "oh, the leash laws don't apply to MY dog"), to the annoyance of everyone. A few people mentioned it to the campground monitors (who take it upon themselves to golf cart through the RV area approximately once every two days in a feeble attempt to look like they care about rules and safety, which they clearly don't), but nothing was said or done so the dog continued to roam freely amongst the campsites. On the other side, between us and the lake, a family reunion of 20 people was happening on a site that was no bigger than ours. Somehow, though, they managed to stuff a travel trailer, two tents, a truck, and an SUV into the site, completely blocking any view we might have had towards the lake. On the plus side, the "resort" (and I use that term lightly) does serve beer in the on-site restaurant. So when we needed to escape the hellscape of the campground, we ambled on over to the cafeteria, grabbed a couple of beers, and sat in the provided adirondacks for some lakeside peace before returning to our less-than-blissful campsite. There's also a fairly convenient little store where you can get the bare necessities (for a hefty price). So if you need some Advil, paper plates, or cold beer/wine they've got you covered. Last year, they had other essentials (like dairy) but it was gone this year. Now, back to those hookups. They will tell you the sites are full hookup but they 100% are NOT. Most sites do have 30 amp power and water; but you will need to use the on-site dump station for your grey and black tanks, so plan accordingly. I saw another review mention there is not on-site garbage facility. There actually is - it's a huge dumpster down by the dump station. It's kinda far from the campground, but it's definitely there. Sadly, our second visit to Log Cabin Resort was definitely our last. There are much better places to camp nearby, like Crescent Beach and Salt Creek. read more

I'm providing this review since there wasn't enough information on what to expect in the cabin. Hope this helps others. This was our first time staying in the rustic log cabins. We decided to stay here based on having a kitchenette to make our own food for most meals while staying 3 nights. First off the staff is great. Can't say enough about how wonderfully we were treated. We ate in the restaurant once (breakfast), we asked questions at the front desk/gift shop, we rented kayaks and everyone was friendly and treated us well. However, I don't think the cleaning people have enough time between guests. The shower walls and curtain had pink mold and though the floors were swept, but I don't think they'd been mopped in awhile, as they left our feet feeling dirty and they looked dirty. The linens were clean, except on the sleeper sofa which hadn't been changed. The dishes and silverware were missing many pieces, and though there was a coffee maker (k-cups) there were no mugs or disposable coffee cups. (Thankfully we brought our camping dishes.) They did provide dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper, and hand soap. If we return, I plan to bring a couple cleaning supplies, camping dishes, and a covering for the window (we used a light blanket with tape to cover it.) read more

first thing I went on the birthday and it was so beautiful there, they have free showers. and toilets. also they have laundry machines. they need quarters but it's a free it just depends out back to you it's just for you to start it. Staff where super friendly and knowledgeable. oh btw the road to get to the camp it small but manageable it's one road so be super careful cars come from both ways!!! The one thing I was hoping for was more privacy but it's still honestly not too bad read more

#1) It's incredibly expensive to stay here, so you'd think the A-frames (Lakeside Chalet) would be SUPER nice, which they're comfortable and have a mini kitchen with a bathroom & shower, but they're full of carpenter ants that you'll have crawling on you and your stuff 24/7. #2) The campground is a parking lot and you have to pay to use the shower, but there's a laundry room & it's a 3 second walk to the water. NO privacy, almost no trees and you don't get to choose which spot you camp in... the resort chooses for you. #3) The view is outstanding so it offsets the cost because your blood pressure and brain are happy. and the east end of the lake is the best for weather, still water to swim/boat and there's an awesome bike path. #4) There's a gift shop with some ice cream, drinks, boat rental, stickers, shirts, etc. #5) The restaurant is not very good but has a selection of stuff that are kid-friendly and easy on the gut. read more

Really an awful experience. Their motto appears to be, "We don't care, we don't have to!" Many of the units are in old, dilapidated buildings that literally have duct tape repairs. It is largely a "family" resort, with lots of kids in paddle-boards and dogs chasing everything that moves. Evenings and early nights can be VERY loud, due to the close proximity of many of the units and the tight confines of the immediately adjacent campground - and the presence of many rude, inconsiderate people. This place is not worthy of being in a National Park - it is truly a disgrace to the concept. Aramark (the concession) is truly terrible, focused apparently and solely on milking as much profit from their decaying National Park properties as possible! read more

Disgusting. Sheets were dirty and had urine stains on one bed. The problem was reported multiple times to the front desk employees, all of whom were empathetic, but the problem was never solved. We were never provided clean sheets for the two nights we were there. It was absolutely disgusting. Following our stay, the problems were reported multiple times to the resort itself as well as to Aramark without resolution. Avoid this place at all cost. There are plenty of other places to stay in the area. read more

Located on the shore of Lake Crescent, Log Cabin Resort offers the quintessential summer lake experience. It seriously looks like a summer camp scene straight out of Hollywood. Though my first time here, the experience evokes all of the great childhood lake, camping, summer vacation memories I have and creates a new one I will carry forward. Reading some of the other surprisingly bad reviews I need to say this - if you're expecting a cabin that looks like a posh hotel, anything fancy, are bothered by your neighbors cooking on their fire pit, or concerned about the lack of WiFi, stick to the city. I stayed in one of the lakeside chalets and found it to be absolutely perfect. It's old and rustic sure, but that is the charm. My cabin was clean and comfortable. The upstairs loft is fun and adds to the cabin camping experience. The views are spectacular and the fact that you are a 50' walk from a beautiful lake can't be beat. Every cabin has its own picnic table right out back. It is easy to quickly become immersed the community with all the families hanging out, grilling, eating, drinking, playing games and of course all of the kids running around playing and swimming in the lake. The entire resort is perfection in my opinion. There is a full store on site with all of the essentials. You have the Sunnyside Cafe located onsite with a decent selection of American basics if you don't want to do your own cooking. This was probably the best meal I've ever had from a National Park vendor by the way. That is of course not a high bar, but it was good for what it is. They also have beer on tap in case your cooler starts to get a little light as mine did. Another plus is there is boat, bike, and paddle board rentals on site. I could not be more pleased with my stay and only wish I had booked for longer. I can definitely see myself coming back here. Highly recommended as long as you actually like the outdoors and appreciate that the lake is the amenity. read more

the lake is a beauty driving in, from a nine hour drive, retirement couple, old and weary, yet capable, it was in over flow and they placed us by the John's and laundry room, the foot traffic hello! seeing the beauty of the lake then to place us there is a joke to the campground owners how desperate we would have moved on. we asked kindly for help, the adolescents running the place have an attitude they w rather be somewhere else then having courtesy to the customers at the help center. they dont even look up to address a Hello how can we be of help, they answer back cold, snotty and with bad attitude. the laundry and showers were grody not up kept by the adolescent staff, you want important jobs, then act with maturity and be helpful on your job instead of looking like you cant do your job! Move on, the overflow camp spots and courtesy is a joke and its not clean read more

This place lied to us and said they had full hookups. Well there's no sewer at the sites. Would have prepared better for that. The guy in the restaurant was nice and everyone else were jerks. Also, no dumpster so you have to take your trash home with you. Washing machines bleached our clothes. Restaurant is over priced cold fries and 1 chicken tender type of place. Store excepts cards only so no fun for the kids Spots are very hard to get into if you have a big rig and go on a weekend. Beautiful view of the lake though. read more

I knew this wasn't a luxury resort going in. I wasn't expecting much, but I was expecting what was advertised on the website. We got a lakeside "chalet" with a bed in a loft. There is a loft, but there are no stairs to said empty loft. Just a queen bed and a full size right next to it. There is no more fold out couch. Apparently last summer was so hot people were getting heatstroke. Their solution? Not provide fans or air conditioning. No, their great idea was to remove the stairs, put the bed downstairs and not update their website or tell anyone. The room was dirty and had an ant infestation. I don't mean an occasional large black ant, I'm talking about waking up to small ants all over the counter and in the sink. The staff was nice, but they were all young camp counselor types and they completely screwed up the bill. I'm still waiting for a $360 overcharge to be removed from my card. Also, randomly, the restaurant sells pizza, but they don't cut it. Weird, right? The lake and environs are absolutely gorgeous and the views are unmatched. The word "resort" should be removed from the sign. Just call it "Some Cabins". read more

The location of this place for beautiful views is wonderful. It has amenities that are very handy such as water sport rental equipment and a restaurant and gift shop. Plenty of rest rooms as well. A couple of downsides were the winding narrow road approach that was a little nerve wracking and we didn't even have to tow! Also one side of the park was hot and unshaded and the other was shaded and very chilly. There was a fair amount of wind while we were there. Overall it was a great time just bring some shade and some warm clothes as well. read more

Stayed in chalets by lake. Beautiful location. Overpriced. Chalet was dusty. No plates or cutlery provided. We thought that was included - our mistake. Staff were doing their best but not helpful. Restaurant served cardboard pizza - filled the void. Nothing else close by. Need to bring food with you - and make sure you bring plates, knives, forks. Quiet, beautiful location for which you pay a premium. read more

Employees run venmo scams for sites that don't exist manager caves to Karens and toilet paper isn't stocked regularly. There are other campsites along this lake that would probably treat you better. My niece was threatened by another guest who said "I have a weapon permit" the manger then forced my family members to leave. When called later he apologized and said they would be removed that day, he was later seen laughing it up with them and he allowed them to stay. He is a liar and a coward, do nont go to log cabin resorts. read more

We just returned from our stay here and we all (group of 11 adults and kids) decided it was by one of our favorite places for our annual family gathering. Beautiful view, available activities, and multiple options for lodging. First, the bad. I had to knock off one star for the bathroom. It's basic and they supply local shampoo/conditioner and soap. But they don't clean them very well. I found mildew along the edge of the shower and there was long strands of red hair on the shower wall. No one in our family has red hair! Eew! We stayed in the lodge rooms adjacent to the main lodge. All four rooms have lake and mountain views. Our rooms were rustic looking but they spruced it up with nice bedding. And the beds were really comfy! The furniture is wicker but sturdy. The cabin has a sink, microwave and mini fridge, but no stove for cooking. We brought our own camp stove to cook on the patio. Each patio is partitioned for privacy with its own picnic table and chairs. We didn't really stay indoors very much. We were too busy going on hikes, canoeing, kayaking, playing in the water (a bit cold), and just sitting and taking in the serene and beautiful view. The kids had a blast playing with other kids staying on the property. The main lodge has a little store: gift shop, basic groceries, cafe, and a restaurant. They do sell cords of wood if you're camping. We'll be back for another family gathering in the fu read more

Temper your expectations and you'll be pleasantly surprised. We stayed in one of the A framed chalets for an overnight stay on our last day in Olympic National Park. We thought we would have basically a camping type of experience staying here because the website was completely inadequate at informing us of the amenities. We figured it was one night so what the hay. Pros: chalet was nicely apportioned. Comfortable and spacious. Two beds, including one in the loft afforded some space. The view of the lake was amazing from the back. Mini-fridge was a plus for keeping cold drinks handy and for storing some of the local beer sold at the store. A full set of towels was on hand for us to use as was a coffee maker a microwave and board games. Cons: Lots of spiderwebs inside and out. Nothing major or dangerous but shows lack of attention. Walls are very thin and single pane windows let all the cold and hot of the outside, in. Overall this is a solid option for staying in a rustic but comfortable place in the park. Dining at the camp/resort restaurant was ok. Nothing special but not terrible. Staff was super nice and friendly. read more

My wife and I rented one of the two-bedroom cabins (with no kitchenette) almost a year in advance. If you look at the website, they have a great virtual tour tool that shows you the layout of the cabins in proximity to the lake. In the description it shows all of the cabins atop a hill above the lodge, and the description clearly boasts that there is a view of the lake. We were surprised when we were assigned the only of these cabins that is situated in the woods, next to the camper bathrooms, looking at the back of other cabins, cars, and tent campers, and with a small peek-a-boo of the lake. It is literally the only one of the 8 cabins that is separated from the other alike ones, who all expansive and incredible views of the lake, yet they are priced the exact same. When I approached staff, I was assured that "according to hotel standards as long as you can see a piece of the lake, you can put that it had a view of the lake" (I have added below the view of the lake). That is such a corporate, stock answer. In addition to this, they have a sign on their cashier counter that states that "cabin assignments are final", which seems to suggest that they are approached about this regularly. I am writing this so that whoever is running this place is aware that the price should reflect the location of the cabin. It feels deceiving the way it is listed and the way that it was handled. I want to be clear to anyone reading this though: CRESCENT LAKE IS INCREDIBLE AND EVERYONE SHOULD GO AND VISIT. The log cabin itself was clean and the employees were all pleasant. Although we were disappointed with this it did not ruin our trip and we look forward to going back one day, and are hopeful we don't end up back in cabin #8. read more

We camped here with our 32-foot RV and the spot was really fantastic. To be transparent, we were lucky to have had one of the better sites it sounds like, tucked beneath the trees with some shade. The place was packed over Memorial Weekend. Set right on the lake, lots of different options for folks who need lodging (can't speak to the others), and rental options for paddleboats and kayaks nearby as I recall. We spent some nice hours relaxing and playing cards at a one of the picnic tables by the large grassy area on the lakefront. They have a little store there with essentials where we picked up some great quality souvenir t-shirts. Be aware that the long access road is very windy and can be VERY tight when passing a car going the other way, especially if you're towing a vehicle as we were. This isn't a luxury camping spot by any means, but I thought it was perfect for what it promised to offer. It's a great jumping off point for exploring Olympic National Park. We'd come back. read more

The cabin was very nice! I reserved the two bedroom cabin with sofa bed in the living room, kitchen and shower. The cabin was built in 2018 so everything is pretty new. Every bed was total big enough for two person, so it can fit 6 person max. The kitchen provided pot, pan, plates. Outside the cabin, each cabin has a picnic table and fire pit. I brought my own shelter because that day was raining. Remember to make reservation early, super early. In May, I made reservation for August, and already almost rooms and dates were gone!!! read more

The customer service in nonexistent. We made reservations a year in an advance for a cabin with 3 beds and the called us 2 months before our arrival date to tell us there are only 2 beds now. They just decided to make the cabin with 2 beds. They insisted that they emailed and called us but I checked my email and voicemail and there was nothing. They forced us to cancel and then still charged us the cancellation fee!!! We stayed there the summer before and only wanted to return because we love the lake. The cabin itself was very dirty, with small, uncomfortable beds. Smoke was also blowing in our windows at night from the campground so we had to shut them. I'm surprised they are still in business. read more

I didn't stay here. But I went and checked it out, it looked funky and fun and the lake is beautiful so we almost stayed there, but the restaurant was closed and there was no food for miles so we decided to go to the Lake Crescent Lodge instead and good thing we did because we stayed in a beautiful cottage with a fireplace. The Log Cabin "Resort" was super pricey for what it was. The room was an a-frame cabin looked like a typical ski cabin, super shabby with beds to house a bunch of people but we were only 2 so it didn't make sense to spend $138 on a crappy looking cabin. read more

FOOD POISONING! We got SO sick from the food we spent the whole night puking!!!! The Log cabin Resort deservers a Zero. Or to be shut down! We went there for lunch. We arrived at 12:30 pm. The restaurant was and looked completely empty, There were no tables set up for eating. except for a table of staff. No one spoke to us or made Eye contact. When we asked the staff behind the counter if the restaurant was open we got a very unfriendly "umm duh". Then when trying to pay for the meal their cash register didn't work. This process took about 10 minutes, Then I Still had to come back after the meal to try to pay again. it still didn't work. The manager had to come to fix it. She wasn't very friendly. She never asked about how was our day, was the food good, NOTHING!! We ordered the Fish and chips and a hamburger with fries. When it came there were maybe 8-10 very tiny french fries. The fish was so oily and overcooked it could bounce, it was that chewy! The Hamburger was so cheaply made. At the table We never had silverware, napkins, Water or found where to get any, The price for the food was outrageous! For just the two items it was 38 dollars!! We got SO sick from the food we spent the whole night puking! We will NEVER GO BACK! we then went into the gift shop/front desk to buy my daughter ice cream. We found a VERY old ice cream bar. When we tried to pay for it at the front desk, THAT machine didn't work! we found out from the best used by the date that the ice cream was more than 2 years old! yuck. We want our money back. We will NEVER GO BACK!!!!! read more

We had read many mixed reviews, but decided to give it a try anyways. This place is gorgeous!! It is right on Lake Crescent. Absolutely beautiful view of the mountains all around it. Very friendly and helpful staff. They actually care if you have a problem and work to fix it. We stayed in an A frame chalet that was incredibly close to the water. It has no A/C which wouldn't normally be a problem here, but it was in the 90's during the day so they got quite warm. Rooms could use an update, but clean and comfortable. read more

There are many things to rate about this resort. There is the lake, the campground, the cabins and then, there is the restaurant. We didn't stay here so can't rate the cabins or the campground. We did spend time admiring the gorgeous, gorgeous lake and then, we ate at the restaurant. What I am rating is the restaurant and the beautiful location. The gorgeous lake and setting definitely gets a 5 star rating. It's absolutely beautiful. However, the restaurant is something else. Maybe we would give it a 2 star. The rhubarb pie we ordered was nummy. However, the clam chowder was probably the worst I had ever had and I've eating chowder all my life and up and down both coasts. This was bad, bad, bad. It was ordered and paid for at the counter. When it was delivered to our table we were then told it was gluten free and dairy free. If he had told us that it wasn't regular chowder, we wouldn't have ordered it. It was thick and lumpy and hardly any taste. I took a few bites and we left. Awful. So, how do I rate this? Well, we would go back to kayak or for another piece of pie. Other than that, not so sure we'd try anything else from the kitchen without asking how it was cooked. read more

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. The moment I arrived at 2:30pm was the moment it started being a horrible time. Let me start by saying I paid $280.00 and some change for 1 night at this basic, crappy cabin. Check-in was at 4pm, check out is at 11am. How is this worth it at all? There is no private beach and the beach that the cabins has is completely overrun with people, blasting loud and annoying music and smoking cigarettes. The "swim" dock has too many boats parked at it to even swim at and the cabin was INFESTED with these huge black ants. The staff were incredibly unfriendly and overall everything was just awful. I felt dirty in the morning after sleeping in the bed and the pillows smelled so awful. They insisted that no rooms would be ready until 4pm because they were "cleaning them for my safety" but when I got into the room the blankets were dirty and crusty and stuck together and there were spider webs and the ants mentioned above everywhere. This place is a dump and is in NO WAY worth spending that kind of money on. read more

Review of RV camping: not good. There are only a few sites that are decent. These are on the outside of the loop and either tucked into old growth trees, or lakeside. The vast majority of sites are terrible. Avoid any site on the narrow grass strip in the center. They are extremely tight with no shade and surrounded by dusty unpaved road. The good: very easy contactless check in. Just grab your paper off the board and go to site; no interaction required. And of course, Lake Crescent is amazing!! Tons of USFS campgrounds in the area, but if you want full hookups on Lake Crescent, this is pretty much the only choice. read more

TL; DR: If you're particular about room cleanliness, do not stay here. --- We chose this resort because we were doing hikes nearby as we were circumnavigating the Olympic National Park during a weekend trip. We stayed in the A-Frame Chalet for 1 night. The shower was DIRTY and there was a huge spider inside on the bathroom window sill. (Not to mention lots of spiders hanging outside right above the front door entrance.) The shower head was too low; I estimate it was only 5' high. There was a metal soap dish attached inside the shower and it was filthy. The toilet was clean, though. The bathroom sink was old; it wasn't filthy but I wouldn't call it clean. Inside the room, there were two beds and a futon. The beds were nice, comfortable and clean. The futon didn't look very comfortable but none of us slept on it. The room was pretty big and had a dining table, fridge, and microwave. The second bed was upstairs in a loft. There was decent cell phone reception at the resort as well. The front desk/main lodge is open from 8 AM to 9 PM. If you need to check in after hours, they will call you or leave you a message letting you know where to get your keys. When we checked in, we paid in advance for breakfast buffet so it saved us $3 each. Breakfast buffet was average; nothing to rave about. There were breakfast potatoes, biscuits, gravy, jam, cinnamon rolls, oatmeal, bacon, yogurt, cranberry juice, orange juice, etc. It ran from 8 AM to 11 AM. The staff here was friendly and the views are great. But considering that room cleanliness is most important to me, in hindsight, I would have stayed in Port Angeles and driven back to the area to do the hikes. I was worried about wasting time if we back-tracked, but Port Angeles isn't that far from Lake Crescent. To get to this resort, it takes about 15 minutes on a windy road down to the lake anyway. read more

Dirty! We stayed in a 2 bedroom Chalet because it was the only thing available when we booked. I am ok with OLD but not with a dirty room. Especially at such an expensive rate. The rooms were extremely dusty, so much so that the lamp shades had spider webs. The bedsheets were stained and the pillow cases black from the dust that came off the window shades right above it. If they are going to charge such a high rate they should definitely make sure the rooms are kept clean. The BEST thing about this hotel is the view. The lake view is amazing! read more

My girlfriend and I visited Lake Crescent as part of a trip around Olympic National Park at the beginning of June 2015. We came in expecting pretty bare bones accommodations but were pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness and comfort. Even with the chilly/foggy weather at the time, we had a good experience at scenic Lake Crescent. We stayed in Rustic Sleep Cabin #7. There are picnic tables and fire pits in front of the cabins (though you need to buy the firewood), so after arrival we brought out a bottle of wine and got to know some of our new neighbors over a nice fire. The cabin was definitely roomy enough for the two of us, and the beds were reasonably comfortable. The electric base heaters worked well. The shower stall, while cramped and not attractive, was highly functional! Lots of pressure and hot water, which was great after getting soaked while rafting on the Elwha. Housekeeping must have noticed all of the used tissues in the trash bin and deduced that one or both of us was sick, so they thoughtfully left an extra tissue box for us. Keep in mind that these are simple, dated cabins, and you're here for the gorgeous scenery and hiking! The Rustic Sleep Cabins do not have a fridge so consider bringing a cooler (some of the other lodging options do have a fridge). They have ice and other necessities in the convenience store at the lodge. Also, there are very few electrical outlets (only two, I think) so don't plan on charging a gazillion phones while you're here. Not that there is good cell coverage here anyway. We didn't eat at the restaurant but it looks like it has a great view. We had other hiking and rafting plans so didn't get to take advantage of the canoe rental, but on a nice day that would be a mighty pleasant experience. We found the location to be a good launching point for activities on the Elwha River and Hurricane Ridge (to the east) and Sol Duc River/Falls (to the west). The "$$$$" rating on Yelp was certainly not accurate for us. Our room was probably the most affordable stay on our trip. Maybe that rating was for the restaurant, not the lodging. In short - come with appropriate expectations and you should have a great stay! read more

Staff wouldnt give us towels because we came "too late". So we pay like 100 bucks for a mediocre cabin and we aren't even allowed to shower? wooooooow. The view was ok. Not that big of a deal honestly. I've seen better in west virginia. read more

If I could give half stars, I'd give one to Log Cabin Resort. It's somewhere between 'meh, I've had better' and 'a-ok'. We stayed in one of the "rustic cabins" with a lake view and it was BEAUTIFUL! The cabin was fine, two large rooms, a bathroom with a shower. They have boat rentals that I was dying to make use of - we didn't end up taking advantage of em, because our dog was feeling a little needy. Which brings me to my next point. . . . .we chose the Log Cabin Resort because it allowed dogs; only trouble is that dogs weren't really allowed very many places on the property, which severely limited what we could enjoy as well (the lakeside, restaurant - no patio, docks, etc). Oh, and there wasn't much for hiking that didn't require a drive. It was fine as a stop-over, but we might consider a different lodge if we wanted to enjoy hiking and a vaca with the pooch. read more

After reading the reviews, like many, I was a bit nervous as to what I had committed us too. I was taking my son on a trip for his high school graduation, and he liked the idea of rustic, and my parents have a log cabin that was built in 1922 with wood heat and no water in the winter, so I figured we would like it. We were coming from Massachusetts, so we had to pack what we needed. My bar was much lower than some and I was happy to call and find out that we got sheets, blankets, our cabin #3 with a kitchen, even had heat. I brought all of the kitchen utensils and plates we could handle since we knew the kitchen came with nothing. We arrived to beautiful views, a couple of chairs out front, our own fire pit, a small but very workable kitchen... I had imagined a larger fridge and had to remove the shelves to fit a gallon of milk, but that was ok. Everything was clean, and a little eclectic (the tub had 2 different handles on the hot and cold, I saw it as all part of the charm). Deer wandered around in the evening and early morning which was great. The lodge had games inside, corn hole etc for outside. The staff were all friendly, the restaurant was very good, but pretty expensive. We heard only positive comments from others who were eating there. Wifi in the lodge was pretty weak, but I was completely amazed to have as good cell service as we did. The one thing I can complain about is that we had one outlet that was in the middle of the living room. We could also unplug the coffee maker and share the outlet in the kitchen with the fridge, other than that there were no plugs. We have al become very spoiled with the need for chargers; we survived, you just had to plan. One more complaint is that the cabins were pretty close together; we did not have a neighbor for the first 2 days, but then some came late at night and there was a lot of car door slams and talking which was right next to the head of the bed in our cabin. Luckily we only had an issue a couple of times, other than that , it was nice and quiet. I would return to Log Cabin Resorts in a minute: all of the huge places to visit were 1-2 hours away. We finally went to Port Angeles on the last day and were completely surprised at how nice a town it is; great restaurants, nice stores, we wish we had visited sooner. read more
