Michele has done a wonderful job with this place. The home is so well stocked to the point that it felt like we were staying with a friend. A few things to note:- The kitchen is well stocked with spices, oils, tinfoil, ziplock bags, etc as well as any cooking equipment you could need. Because it is a tiny house, there isn't much space to store your own shelf-stable groceries.- The bed is very soft, which may be a blessing or a curse depending on your sleep preferences.- There are several other structures on the property, a nearby driveway, and multiple cameras up. It was very quiet and we weren't disturbed during our stay, but it didn't feel as private as we were hoping. - The walk to Calawah river is a must-do! It was better than the Hoh river, in our opinion.

This location is absolutely fantastic. Michele is a phenomenal and gracious host (she left us snacks to include the full kit for making s'mores!!!). The property has a plethora of amenities and is incredibly comfortable. We will be staying here again in the future when we are exploring that side of the peninsula again! Thank you so much Michele!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
