Elwha Place, Romantic Hiker's Retreat; Close to ONP hiking and lakes; Sleeps 4

Escape to this stylish and well appointed creekside apartment, perfect for a romantic couple's retreat or a small family getaway. This Pacific Northwest gem features two bedrooms and one bath, a fully equipped kitchen for creating meals, a cozy gas fireplace for cooler nights, free Wi-Fi and Cable TV. Enjoy conversation and the sounds of nature around the outdoor fire table out on the deck or the outdoor fire pit located creekside. Fantastic location for easy day trips to the Olympic National Park. Ten minutes from kayaking at Lake Crescent and hiking Marymere Falls.

The Inside Space:
The apartment has an open concept living/dining and kitchen area with lots of natural light from the two bay windows and sliding glass doors. The living space has a comfy leather couch and two chairs, a TV, a gas fireplace and bay window seating (the perfect space for curling up with a good book!).

Kitchen:
The fully equipped kitchen has all you need for creating meals complete with a gas stove/oven, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, coffee pot and plenty of dishes/pots & pans. Enjoy your meals either inside at the dining table or outside on the deck overlooking the babbling Indian Creek.

The Master bedroom has a queen bed, chair, TV, closet and dresser. The one and only bathroom with large walk-in shower is accessed from INSIDE the Master bedroom ONLY. (Please note that the one and only bathroom can only be accessed from inside the Master bedroom, which means you will want to make sure you are comfortable with this set up BEFORE booking. )

Laundry is located at the entrance of the apartment in the foyer area, a stacked washer and dryer are free for your use.

Outdoor amenities:

Don't forget to bring your binoculars and camera to see lots of local birds and occasional deer.

Parking:
This property has three vacation rental units. The circular driveway has designated parking spots for each unit. The Elwha Place apartment has a designated parking spot located just to the left of the front entrance. The front private entrance is marked with a wooden plaque "Elwha Place" and a ramp leads to the front door.

Other things to Note:
Please note this apartment has one shared wall with the main house. The door leading to the main house is located next to the kitchen and is locked by the owner for security, neither the guest in the apartment or inside the main house can open this door. There is a potential for noise from guests in the main house, but fairly uncommon.

All outdoor areas including the yards, private trails to the creek, play structure, outdoor fire pits and gazebo seating area are shared with other guests. If you would like to book both the main house and the apartment, inquire with owner regarding availability and we can send you the VRBO link for the main house.

Tasteful, well located, and well appointed property near Olympic National Park!
You wouldn't think that the quality of the build would matter - but this house is well built - no squeaks, everything fits and opens/closes perfectly. It was beautifully decorated and extremely clean. It made for a cozy stay that made it easy to get to hiking in the area. Dena was a kind and attentive host, and we can't wait to come back!

Lovely place to stay in the ONP
This house is very clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you can imagine for a vacation home. We stayed for three nights and the family really enjoyed it. The house is near a creek. It is such a relaxing experience to wake up listening to the sound of the flowing water. Will definitely recommend it.

Perfect spot to see ONP
This was a great place for the two of us to explore Olympic National Park. The cottage lacked for nothing, the kitchens was very well equipped. So grateful for the laundry to wash the mud off after a day of hiking! Very quiet and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Relaxing Retreat
My husband and I spent 5 nights here and loved it! It had everything we needed. I especially loved the watching and listening to the babbling brook behind the house. There’s a beautiful deck where you can sit out and watch the water or there’s a screen door if you just want to listen to it. The kitchen had everything we needed. We had stopped on the way in Port Angeles at Safeway and bought some things so we didn’t have to have every meal out and it worked out great! The bed was very comfy and the shower was powerful which is always a plus. We really enjoyed our stay and will plan on visiting again.

Great place
We loved this place. Everything was perfect - the only thing was that the master bath is inside the master bedroom and it's the only bathroom - wish there was a door to the hall so it could be used by everyone. Other than that, we really enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen and had a wonderful bonfire down by the river. Would definitely stay again!

Great location to explore Olympic National Park
We loved Elwha Place. Great location, wonderful deck off living/dining area, generous space, comfortable bed, nicely stocked with everything we needed. The location was ideal - far enough from Port Angeles to feel remote yet close enough for groceries and restaurants. Great location for exploring northern part of the park. The deck was a fantastic place to relax and eat outdoors with the flowing creek below us. Would highly recommend!

Amazing Getaway House in Olympic
We had a wonderful stay here and would definitely come back. Super clean with great amenities. We especially loved the little stream running behind the unit and listening to it out on the deck. My wife loved the cozy little reading nook by the window. Perfect location - out of the city a bit (10 min), but in the heart of the northern Olympic trails. Super positive experience

Cute, clean place on a creek!
We loved this location. It has a nice, bubbly creek right outside the patio and you can hear it while eating outside. It is also a good central location for visiting Olympic NP, with trips to Hurricane ridge entrance just 15 minutes away which really helps to beat the traffic early in the morning. We also visited the Hoh rainforest from here, which was about 1.5 hours away but a pretty drive. The cabin itself is attached to another building but there was no noise or any issues at all with this. It is well stocked, with everything we needed and the house was really clean and we loved the open layout. As mentioned, the patio is a great place to hang out and has a grill and dining table. It seemed like the place was well cared for, with quality flooring, bath, and kitchen choices. We were able to walk along the creek a bit and the kids played in the water, which was only up to their ankles and super clear. This made for a fun time as we all ended up getting wet, which was fine because the cabin was right up the hill where we could dry off. The host, Dena, checked in on us via the app to make sure we were cozy and the check-in process was smooth. All in all, I loved this cabin and would definitely stay here again.

Outstanding Home in Excellent location
No home we've VRBO has been nicer and better located than this home. Steps from a river. Beautiful home close to Olympic National Park and Port. Angeles. Most comfortable bed we've ever slept on and the sound of the river at night made for great sleep and rest. Every amenity was provide for cooking, down to a full spice rack and newly updated kitchen implements. Attention to detail was exceptional. Owner must be a chef and also an artist as the art work and decor was attractive and relaxing. Always a quick response to any question and making sure we arrived and found the home as promised. Lucky we took a chance on a new listing VRBO, although she has been renting previously through a broker.
