Port Angeles, Washington
Beautifully designed 1940's cottage in the woods nestled by Indian Creek invites you to sit back, relax and unwind among the tall evergreens and lush vegetation. Plenty of room for the whole family or couple's travelling together. The three-bedroom cottage is complete with a kitchen, gas grill, free Wi-Fi, Smart TVs, W/D, outdoor fire pit and beautiful shared private trails that lead down to Indian Creek. Only 12 minutes from Port Angeles's downtown shopping, restaurants and coffee houses. Take easy day trips and hiking adventures into the Olympic National Park. Kayaking, boating and swimming at Lake Crescent are just 10 minutes west of the cabin.
Inside the cottage:
The downstairs living space offers two informal seating areas with cozy furnishings. One with a Smart TV, a "real flame" electric fireplace, a couch with chaise (turns into a sofa bed for extra sleeping arrangements) and a lovely selection of books. There is also a small writing desk in the corner for those that need to work during their stay or just check an email or two. The other seating area is a lovely conversation spot or space to curl up and read located just off the kitchen and dining areas. The dining table sits between the two living areas and is perfect for gathering for dinner or for playing a lively card game.
In the kitchen, you will find all you need for whipping up meals including a stove, microwave, fridge/freezer and plenty of dishes/pots and pans. There is one bedroom on the main floor that has a queen bed and TV. Both bathrooms are also on the main floor. The back bath has a walk-in shower and washer/dryer, while the hall bath is split between a shower room and 1/2 bath.
The upstairs second and third bedrooms are accessed by a steep and narrow staircase. The second bedroom has a full-size bed and TV and the third bedroom has plenty of room for the kids to stretch out, with 3 full size beds and TV. Outside, everyone can have fun exploring the shared outdoor areas that include private trails down to and alongside the creek, the community gazebo and the community shared play set located in the front yard of the main house. These outdoor areas are shared with guests who may be occupying the two other vacation rentals on the property.

Stayed at this place for a few days while exploring Olympic national Park. The location was great and the house was well equipped for our stay including a very convenient kitchen. The host was right on site while we were there and helped with a few things that we needed. The place was cozy and charming and we felt right at home. The only drawback was it was a little close to the road although you couldn't see the road you could hear the road noise. Other than that it was idyllic.
We loved the stream nearby, the trail, and easy access from the cottage. The property was very nice and met our expectations. The kitchen was well-stocked plus there was a nice variety of seating/gathering areas inside and out. We really loved our time here. Thanks for making our stay so nice!
House is cozy but was perfect for us. Lots of fun outside spaces. Really great location to get into park. Dena was very responsive and easy to communicate with.
We loved this quaint cottage in a beautiful wooded setting. Beautiful outdoor area with a hiking path in the backyard to a beautiful creek. Many peaceful outdoor seating areas, fire pit, and places to enjoy quiet time. Inside was a quaint cabin decorated to feel homey and comfortable. The location was ideal—close to Port Angeles for groceries and dining as well as close to park entrances and Lake Crescent. Our communication with the host made everything even better. We asked for recommendations for hikes and resorts and got the best suggestions. The cabin was a huge part of our enjoyment of this vacation.
This home served as a great home base for our travels in the Olympic Peninsula. Lots of space to spread out. My kids loved exploring the property - the river, the play set, the yard. Great experience!
The house is a little quirky but we really liked it! It has a great outdoor area to sit and relax. Beds were comfortable! Although we did not cook the kitchen seemed well supplied. Communication was great. Overall great place!
Cozy yet space for everyone. The yard was gorgeous and we spent every evening outside. Port Angeles and Hwy 101 accesses the park easily.
Fantastic location. Rustic home. Need warning about the steep interior steps. The upstairs bedrooms are unavailable to those with mobility problems. One of our group could not do those stairs at all. I have congestive heart failure and would have liked to have known about the steepness of those stairs. Need kitchen towels and some of the pots and pans need to be replaced. Stains on some of the dining room chairs and outdoor furniture was mostly filthy. Finally, need much better signage at the entrance to the property. Since I now know all of this, I would stay here again.
This property was perfectly located to spend multiple days exploring various regions of Olympic national park. The property had everything our family of 6 needed.
This property is in a beautiful location that feels secluded despite being right off the 101. The home was clean and had everything we needed. It is in a great location to get to all the places we wanted to visit in Olympic Park and also close to Port Angeles. We would definitely stay here again
The area is wonderful and the location is perfect, close to town and close the park entrances.
