This was my first solo trip and therefore one of my biggest concerns about my lodging was safety and comfort. I stayed in the morning dove cottage and it was absolutely beautiful. It was far enough away from port Angeles to feel very secluded, but also close enough that when I needed to make a run for food or anything it was only about a 15 minute endeavor. I also appreciated that all the doors had locks so I was able to feel safe in the bedroom without worrying about someone getting in. The main door had multiple locks so even if someone had figured out my code, they wouldn’t be able to get in while I was there. I also really appreciated the snack basket and the drinks left in the fridge for me. Everything was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The sofa bed was a bit rough and squeaky but that’s to be expected with stuff like that. It was still comfortable enough that I was able to nap during the day while watching tv between hikes. For those that like to cook this place came with a full kitchen and enough utensils that making meals would have been very easy. There was even basic things left in the cabinets so you didn’t have to purchase much besides your main food items. When I plan another trip I’m definitely going to try and book this place again!

The cabin was wonderful, along with the hummingbirds. The supplied grill made for a great anniversary dinner. The property was also top notch beauty. Thanks again we will be booking again. Chad and Erica

We definitely enjoyed our stay at the Whimsical Bear cottage! The cabin is situated so that you feel a delightful sense of isolation and quiet. We rarely saw any guests from any of the other cottages. The stay was peaceful in the woodland setting. The skylights built into the cottage provided beautiful natural light. The coffee and snacks that were provided were a bonus and were much appreciated. Not mentioned in their ad was the fact that they also included a washer and dryer in the cottage, which came in very handy as we had decided to fly with only carry-on luggage. This gave us a fantastic base from which we could explore Olympic national Park and the surrounding areas. We explored the Hoh rainforest, Hurricane Ridge, the lavender farms, a whale watching excursion, hiking to local waterfalls, Crescent Lake, and even a drive to the northwest-most point in the continental USA. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

We stayed in Woodland Retreat. The whole place is so peaceful, about 15 minutes from Port Angeles. Very private. We loved walking around the property and meeting the owner, who gave us a whole tour letting us eat berries and cherries from his trees and bushes. He let us feed the trout and the spotted reindeer. He’s full of really interesting stories! Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful retreat away from the city or smells and busyness of Port Angeles. The cottage came with all the amenities and we were even able to use the washer and dryer.

A beautiful cottage with amazing walking areas, so so beautiful! Very helpful owners. We had a great time. Very clean and lovely interiors, had a lot of fun exploring the outdoors and enjoyed a very peaceful and quiet stay.
