Great Getaway

I loved the Hideway. Although most of my time was out seeing the sights, it was wonderful to come back to the little cabin in the evening. The deck was lovely. I would definitely stay there again.

Reality Reprieve

We wanted to relax from all responsibilities and Michelle’s little hideaway was perfect for just that. It had all amenities needed, was within a short jaunt to gather supplies or see sights. It is beautiful and quiet. Loved our time together there.

Girls get away

This was the perfect base camp for our adventures. Everything we wanted to do was within and hour and a half drive. Fun during the day and relaxing evening on the porch. I’ll definitely stay here in the future for two person trips. This is an excellent location at the end of a dead end and close to town. Incredible views from the porch.

Great base for Olympic National Park

This is the perfect base for visiting the National Park! The cabin was very well appointed and the indoor decor and amenities were well beyond our expectations! The location itself is perfect for a quiet and scenic get-away. The owner was very friendly and generous with snacks and helpful hints. We will certainly be returning here in the future!

Excellent host & property!

The house is in a great location for exploring Olympic National Park - close enough to provide access to the beaches and trailheads, and just out of the way enough to provide a relaxing place to come back to and enjoy the view from the porch in the evening. Michele is friendly and accessible, and has thought of everything to make the stay more enjoyable, and the house itself is cozy and fully loaded. I loved my stay, thank you!

Beautiful private getaway next to a forested drive.

This was the perfect central location for our adventures in the Olympic national park! We enjoyed hiking, beaches and waterfalls and returned to our quiet property to enjoy a meal on the porch or by the firepit. It was wonderful to be 2 minutes from town but feel like we were in a cabin in the woods. Loved it!

Forks ONP

House was extremely clean and cozy! Love the secluded feel of the house. The view from the porch was amazing. Great location to many sites in and around Olympic NP. The full kitchen with pans and utensil stocked allowed us to cook in after being out all day on hikes! Michele was very easy to reach. Great house!

Perfect spot for Olympic explorers

I enjoyed my stay here—the property is peaceful and pretty. Michele has thought of all the details. The location was perfect for my needs. Close to the areas of Olympic National Park that I wanted to see the most, as well as a small town with a grocery store and gas station.

Hidden gem

Charming home in a peaceful setting centrally located to everything Olympic National Park. This lovely home was so welcoming to come back to after a full day of incredible hiking in Olympic National Park. For a short excursion visit the Elk Creek Conservation Trail just one mile down the road. Extremely clean, with great decor, this home had everything you could possiblly want and then some. Michele has provided all those little touches that make you feel well cared for and pampered. From a very thoughtful basket of snacks to enjoy to coffee, creamer, water, refreshments awaiting in the fridge to all your needs in kitchen, bath and laundry. Even though it is a small house, it does not feel that way - Michele has made use of every space and provided plenty of storage. Great place to create special memories!

Great little house

This is a small house and quite tight in some areas (bedroom, fridge area), but it has everything you need to be comfortable. They even had a basket of snacks to enjoy! Great outside covered deck area with reclining chairs with a view of the mountains. You can also sit on the chaise sofa with a cup of coffee and look out the windows at the same scenery. 10-15 minute walk to the river. 3 miles from downtown Forks.

Great New little house in the forest

Great house, very clean, nicely set up, and new appliances with everything we needed (cooking, laundry, hanging on the porch). Easy to get to and visit all the Beaches nearby. Also nice quick little walks in the area to the river.

Absolutely Incredible

Everything about this place and its host was perfect. The location was right outside the city limits and backed up to the forest. Every morning was gorgeous. The host gave us privacy but was also there when we needed her. The house was the perfect size and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this place and this host!

Cozy Cabin in the Woods

Fantastic property. Spotless inside. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking-ware. Michele even left out some snacks and coffee for us. The check-in process was super easy and Michele was very communicative anytime I had a question. The location easy to find from Forks and ideally located for touring the Peninsula and especially the national park. We definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Quiet, private location

Very cute. Perfect forest getaway for 2. Quiet wooded location within walking distance to the Calawah. Close enough to town that it is not a hassle to run in to pick something up, but far enough out to be very private.

Warm and Cozy

This was a very nice little rental that was perfect for us! The great location made it easy to see all the Olympic Peninsula has to offer. The place was super clean, well stocked, and had a nice view from the porch. Town center is just down the road, but you still felt secluded. One morning we sat on the porch and watched the mist roll in through the trees, and another day sat and watched a beautiful sunset. Michele was a lovely host. There was a little welcome basket with snacks when we arrived, she then offered us apples she had just picked and then later wild mushrooms a friend had picked. How nice! The couple of times we contacted her with questions she responded within minutes. So very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
