House was very nice and located in a quiet, secluded location near a stream. We really enjoyed the deck and grill on the back of the house. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Beautiful location with a rear deck overlooking a river. The house was very clean and comfortable with all the necessary amenities. The owner emailed specific communication to help with directions. Great place to vacation overall!

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.

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!

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.

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!

This property was everything we expected and more. It was stunning! When you walk in the door you feel like you are home. Cozy and comfortable. Most importantly, it was extremely clean. We truly loved our stay on this property. Easy access to Olympic National park and Port Angles. Highly recommend this property!

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!

This is a fantastic property with a stream to hike along and access to all sorts of fantastic natural wonders. The house is wonderful with everything you need. We had a fantastic stay here.

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
10.0
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.
