Goal of our trip was to hike around Olympic National Park as well as check out the beaches (Rialto, 1st to 3rd beaches). The location of the house was perfect as most destinations were 30 minutes to a maximum of 1 hour 20 min (furthest being Cape Flattery). Having a washer/dryer at the house was beneficial for the rainy days, as was the covered patio with a hot tub! The house was plenty large for eating, hanging out, and yet having plenty of bedroom separation from the other couple with us. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. Beds were comfortable. Ran out of hot water once with 4 adults taking back to back showers, just spaced them out for the remainder of the trip so everyone had hot water. Loved seeing the herd of elk move through the backyard on an almost daily basis. Plenty to keep a group of adults and kids busy in the evenings including the game room, board games, or just hanging around one of the 2 fire pits (propane or wood). Location was also great for access to a few restaurants in town if not up to cooking, as well as a grocery store. There was a brief power outage late one night (high winds) but it was awesome that the owner had battery lanterns in each bathroom, a flashlight on each bedroom nightstand, and in the kitchen. This owner has thought of everything that a guest might need for any situation: umbrella, fire extinguisher, laundry detergent, ground coffee for the coffee maker, extra blankets, hairdryers, wood for the fire pit, etc. Such great customer service! I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone planning a visit in the area.
