Located in the beautiful Elwha Valley, just 5 minutes drive from Spring Road and easy public access to the Elwha River, this 3 bedroom 1 full bath home has a unique history. Built in the 1930`s, in what is now the Olympic National Forest, this cabin was built as part of New Deal to provide homes for people working in the area. In the 1970`s the cabin was transported to its current location. It is now sited on a 1 acre property bordered on the west side by an unnamed creek and is close to the newly restored Elwha River. This cozy cabin is only 5 minutes from the public access to Lake Sutherland, and only 15 minutes west of Port Angeles, Washington.

Please call to arrange sleeping mats for additional guests. Additional guest charges apply.
