Cozy Freshwater Bay / Elwha River Cabin

Wow! We spent a week exploring Olympic National Park, and this was our first stay. We loved it so much that we felt “homesick” for it during the rest of the week. What we loved: cozy ambiance, very clean, the beach across the street made for perfect evening walks, sunsets, and fort-building with driftwood, Jean and Ricardo were welcoming (fresh flowers, local cherries, chatting with us and kids, tips on hikes/food), location was great for accessing Hurricane Ridge, Sol Duc, Lake Crescent, Port Angeles restaurants and marine center.

We had a fantastic stay. The location is peaceful and quiet, yet conveniently close to Port Angeles and Dry Hill. Our hosts were incredibly helpful and flexible. We’re looking forward to coming back!

Lovely place to stay, quiet, great hosts, good beds, our 2nd stay and would stay again.

Darling place. Perfect location for a couple of days on the Olympic Peninsula.

We loved the quiet and peaceful location of this property!Very clean and spacious, stocked with most anything you would need for a getaway.The beach was just steps away, and got see some wildlife as well!Wish we could extend our stay!Would highly recommend!

Great property in a beautiful area. The location is great for hiking and seeing different parts of ONP. Perfect to stop in Port Angeles for grocery and plan to cook in. Check in was very easy and the cabin was very clean. Thanks for sharing your place!

The charming and whimsical Freshwater Bay cabin suited our needs perfectly. We love the mix of antique furniture as well as the art work. The cabin provides plenty of comfortable seating and also includes access to a trail to the beach. The hosts, Jean and Ricardo, are most gracious.

I grew up coming to Place Rd and playing at this beach in the 90s. So nice to be back. Parking was tight but everyone was friendly and we did not have any issues with parking for us or our guests. The double bed (largest bed) was too small for two adults. A queen sized bed would have made the stay much more comfortable. Absolutely not a deal breaker. Jean and Ricardo are such pleasant, welcoming people. The cabin kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed with working and clean appliances. Check in was easy.

We just stayed here for the 2nd time. The first time we stayed for a week. This time we stayed 6 weeks! That should tell you how much we enjoy it!

This cottage is wonderful! Jean and Ricardo were excellent hosts. The cottage was very clean and the full size bed was very comfortable. The location is fantastic. A short walk down a path to a rugged, beautiful beach. Hand made seats wooden seats allow for lots of time soaking in the view. Close to plenty of hiking spots. Very dark and quiet at night, with the sound of surf always just outside.

Quiet, easy access to beautiful beach, lots of hiking. Really enjoyed our stay here!

This is our 2nd stay. We loved staying here both times. Great location, love the area, super close to the beach. The hosts are so nice and helpful with anything you might need. The canton is cute and comfortable with all the things you need for your stay.

Serene...Cozy...Welcoming...with access to stunning vistas. Our hosts were hospitable beyond expectations. Wereturetureturningpos

I really can't say enough about the Elwha River Cabin. It is in a beautiful location, the landlords are so helpful and friendly, the sound views are fabulous. We saw sea lions every morning! The house was truly spotless. Kitchen was well equipted with all the necessary appliances. Inside of the house is just really cozy. There is a very nice sitting area at the front of the building that is great to relax after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. We loved our stay!
