![]() At $200 a night the basics should be taken care of. However considering this place is always booked solid the owners really need to start putting some money back into updating/repairing basic items. They updated bathrooms couple of years ago. As others have mentioned I treat this accommodation like ‘glamping’ and bring all my camping supplies with me - although they do have a fridge, microwave and keurig so it’s nice. Although more roomy downstairs due to this change now there’s no sofa, no kitchen table for eating or a closet for clothes. They need to update the photos and advertising to reflect this as for our grown daughter it was an issue as you lose the privacy of having a ‘separate’ space and we didn’t know beforehand. It basically looks like a regular hotel room inside with two beds in main area. We stayed in an A-frame chalet as usual but big change this year: they took out the stairs to the upper level. Come yearly and it’s just beautiful scenery, lake right outside your door and hiking close by. Where to start? We love the LOCATION of this place. I would probably prefer lake crescent lodge over this one, but this is still a far better choice than those in port angles.… Not too much and we enjoyed the 10m extra driving on a very scenic route. Location-wise it's a little detour from 101, which is not bad, but if could add a bit of driving back and forth depending on your itinerary. Not too much cost (as compared to completely remodel these units, which would be even better), but would have made the experience so much better. It would have so much more potential if the owner puts in a bit of efforts to upgrade basics like carpets, windows, window blinds, shower curtains. This place is a bit out of maintenance and quite old. ![]() Staff were very nice and helpful and went above and beyond to address some maintenance issues at in the evening. The unit is very spacious and have a kitchen with microwave which is very convenient for a remote location like this. This place is right next to the lake and you can have great view right from your window. Our entire family had a blast and we are already planning the next family trip! … The camper cabins and RV areas looked nice. Parking was easy and it was easy to get our 19' boat in the water. Log Cabin is not as crowded as Lake Crescent lodge which was very nice. All the people working there were lovely and helpful. There is one dock which has rental paddle boards and kayak and another dock but it is closed! They say there are safety issues with it - how ridiculous to have it closed during the peak of summer! I don't know who is responsible for maintenance - Olympic National Park or the vendor, Aramark - whoever it is needs to prioritize and fix things. There is not a lot of shade - we brought a shade canopy which was really nice. The lake is beautiful and entering the lake is easy for the kids. Linens are supplied and so are bath towels. All the rooms except the cabin without a kitchen have a counter, sink, mini refrigerator and microwave - be aware nothing is supplied (no utensils, etc.) All the rooms have keurig coffee makers. The chalet is ok - they're on the lake but no privacy between neighbors. The lodge room is right on the lake and has privacy walls on both sides, which is very nice. ![]() But, the cabins are new and are nice and roomy with a lot of room in front for games or spreading out. I recommend the cabin with kitchen and the lodge room - I feel the chalet rooms have more of a neglected feel and deferred maintenance (holes in the screens, looks like mildew underneath the bathroom sink, front door didn't shut well). We had a family reunion and rented two cabins (one with kitchen), a chalet room and a lodge room.
