Great Getaway

I loved the Hideway. Although most of my time was out seeing the sights, it was wonderful to come back to the little cabin in the evening. The deck was lovely. I would definitely stay there again.

Great New little house in the forest

Great house, very clean, nicely set up, and new appliances with everything we needed (cooking, laundry, hanging on the porch). Easy to get to and visit all the Beaches nearby. Also nice quick little walks in the area to the river.

Excellent host & property!

The house is in a great location for exploring Olympic National Park - close enough to provide access to the beaches and trailheads, and just out of the way enough to provide a relaxing place to come back to and enjoy the view from the porch in the evening. Michele is friendly and accessible, and has thought of everything to make the stay more enjoyable, and the house itself is cozy and fully loaded. I loved my stay, thank you!

We wanted to relax from all responsibilities and Michelle’s little hideaway was perfect for just that. It had all amenities needed, was within a short jaunt to gather supplies or see sights. It is beautiful and quiet. Loved our time together there.

Perfect spot for Olympic explorers

I enjoyed my stay here—the property is peaceful and pretty. Michele has thought of all the details. The location was perfect for my needs. Close to the areas of Olympic National Park that I wanted to see the most, as well as a small town with a grocery store and gas station.

Beautiful private getaway next to a forested drive.

This was the perfect central location for our adventures in the Olympic national park! We enjoyed hiking, beaches and waterfalls and returned to our quiet property to enjoy a meal on the porch or by the firepit. It was wonderful to be 2 minutes from town but feel like we were in a cabin in the woods. Loved it!

Great base for Olympic National Park

This is the perfect base for visiting the National Park! The cabin was very well appointed and the indoor decor and amenities were well beyond our expectations! The location itself is perfect for a quiet and scenic get-away. The owner was very friendly and generous with snacks and helpful hints. We will certainly be returning here in the future!

Very cute. Perfect forest getaway for 2. Quiet wooded location within walking distance to the Calawah. Close enough to town that it is not a hassle to run in to pick something up, but far enough out to be very private.

Wow! Just! Wow!

This is the second time that we have stayed in this marvelous home. We will keep coming back because it is the perfect getaway. Michele is the perfect host with her attention to details that make our stay nothing short of spectacular. Few things in life are as luxurious as saying on that deck and looking out at the forest for hours. We were fortunate to have perfect weather.

Girls get away

This was the perfect base camp for our adventures. Everything we wanted to do was within and hour and a half drive. Fun during the day and relaxing evening on the porch. I’ll definitely stay here in the future for two person trips. This is an excellent location at the end of a dead end and close to town. Incredible views from the porch.
