Description
A very private home on Lake Quinault, the south entrance to the Olympic Peninsula National Park and just a few miles away from the famous Lake Quinault lodge and rainforest.
This home is perfect for a family retreat in the woods without sacrificing comforts of home. An open floor plan on the main floor with a complete guest suite and kids bunk room downstairs. Open loft master suite allows for lake views and a true cabin feel. Decks surround the house; enjoy the outdoors with a glass of wine overlooking the lake.
Amazing fishing right from the docks or go for a sunset paddle. Home has two double kayaks and is outfitted with all kinds of games for family fun (giant jenga, puzzles). Kitchen has everything you would need to cook your favorite family recipes or to grill up the trout you catch. Brand new kitchen appliances (fridge, stove/oven, dishwasher) just installed.
Just a mile into the small town of Amanda Park which sports a mercantile store (get all your groceries and your fishing license here), a liquor store and a great little pizza joint/pool hall.
No better place to get away from it all and create amazing family memories.
There are two double kayaks and two kids sit on top kayaks available for guest use. There is also a good selection of life vests from kid size to adult (located in the storage bench in the breezeway). Given fluctuations in the lake level, it does require two people to carry the kayaks down 50 yards to the lake. We greatly appreciate if guests could return them to the side of the house.
Note that any boat, kayak or paddle board must be inspected before it can be used in the Lake Quinault. While that can be a quick and painless process, you should be aware and leave sufficient time if you bring your own water craft.

Great view
Beautiful view and secluded. Felt like we were on our own private lake. The kayaks were fun and easy to access and store back. Plenty of room for being together as a group or having privacy if wanted. We enjoyed the local pizza joint that was right up the road next to the high school. Good pizza, local beer and good service.

Wonderful house on secluded property
We spent four restful nights enjoying the peace, quiet and beauty on Lake Quinault. The house is great. The bed is firm. There were no significant issues. Would definitely rent this place again!

Great location for Quinault and Ruby Beach
Lovely lakefront home with so much room to spread out. When going around the school to find the drive one wonders what they are finding at the end but rest assured we were all very excited as we came down the hill towards the beautiful house on the water. The home is very kid friendly with a latch pulley gate going downstairs to keep the littles out of trouble. Well equipped kitchen and most of what you need to cook meals. The owner was very accommodating and provided a crock pot for a meal I wanted to cook while we were hiking. Blackberry brambles along the property and a nice lake front area to explore. The dock was on dry land when we were there but I can imagine during the summer it would be a lovely asset to explore and fish as well. Would recommend to families and friends for larger groups.

Beautiful, secluded getaway!
The property location was great, the home was very comfortable and well appointed, the views and lakeside experience were amazing. We slept well, and the heating system worked well to keep us warm as we visited in Autumn. We enjoyed the kayaks and found them to be a serene and memorable part of our stay. A fire pit would be wonderful as it is so gorgeous on the lake, but gets cold in the evenings - would be nice to linger longer in the evening lakeside. The lodge is very close as are many trails and opportunities to experience the park.
