Lake Crescent Lodge turned out to be the perfect spot for an end-of-season weekend getaway. Nestled right on the shores of the crystal-clear lake, our cozy waterside cabin felt like a private retreat away from the bustle of everyday life. There’s something incredibly special about waking up to the gentle lap of water just outside your door the morning mist slowly lifting off the lake like a curtain rising on a peaceful play. We came as a group, and it was such a wonderful spot to relax together. Whether it was sitting on the cabin porch with a coffee in hand, or taking quiet walks along the lake’s edge, every moment felt calm and unrushed. The whole area had this hushed, serene atmosphere, probably helped by the fact that we visited at the very end of the season. Fewer people meant we practically had the place to ourselves, which only added to the magic. The staff were absolutely lovely warm, welcoming, and happy to share local tips. You could tell they genuinely cared about making guests feel at home. One small thing to note: since we were there at the tail end of the season, the usual hours for dining and lodge services were reduced. It didn’t dampen the experience, but it’s good to plan ahead if you’re visiting during this quiet period. Overall, it was everything you could hope for in a peaceful, lakeside retreat. Beautiful scenery, great company, and a charming lodge that makes you want to linger just a little longer.

We stayed during winter hours where only Roosevelt Cabins are used and only on weekends. It is fantastic! We had the whole area to ourselves. The cabins are cozy with a stone fireplace. Plenty of room. We had a coffee maker, fridge and microwave. We had to bring plates, glasses & utensils. There was snow on the ground and the whole place looked magical. The cabins are right in the lake and it watching the lake change throughout the day was spectacular

The location is BEAUTIFUL. Especially at Sunset. The Pyramid rooms? Not great. The beds are stiff as a rock, barely any outlets, the water takes forever to get hot, the view is horrible, spiders ALL OVER the room definitely wasn’t cleaned out, the front desk essentially non existent till restaurant staff was notified upon arrival.

The lodge building is beautiful and has a lot of ambiance however the downstairs woman’s bathroom doesn’t appear to be cleaned on a daily basis. The couches are old and ripped and need to be replaced or repaired. The lodge beds are very small and not comfortable for two people. The bar blasts the music from morning until the bar closes, it would be nice to have some quiet time or quiet music. Music is heard in the bedrooms and the only escape is to leave the building. Food was good and staff was friendly.

We loved our two night stay here in mid September. We stayed in a Singer cottage with a view of the gorgeous lake. The cottage was a one room with a keurig, a bathroom and front porch. I would have booked a cabin if available, but only three and booked ten months in advance on the dates we were there. We had a warm welcome checking in. We were a short walk from the lodge and enjoyed having a cold beer and appetizer after hiking one afternoon. We also had a lovely dinner there one evening with a reservation made in advance. The ambiance of the lodge was cozy and inviting. People were always in one of the areas having a drink, food from the bar, playing cards, reading. There was a nice enclosed porch area as well as the main room with a fireplace and a number of gathering areas. The location was great for us. We arrived from the Seattle area and enjoyed the lake area and sunset. Early the next morning we walked the Moments in time trail over to hike up Mt Storm King and Marymere Falls. This was the first stop on our circuit of the national park and it was an easy drive from Hurricane Ridge and on to Sol Duc. Great visit!!
