Slow Down & Rejuvenate! Hot Tub, Sauna & Trails at the Olympic Foothills Lodge
Olympic Foothills Lodge — A Tranquil Mountain Retreat for Families, Friends & Nature Lovers
Escape to the peaceful embrace of Olympic Foothills Lodge, a custom-crafted, two-story bungalow nestled among towering evergreens in the scenic foothills of the Olympic Mountains. Just outside of Port Angeles, Washington, and minutes from Olympic National Park, this spacious retreat offers a perfect blend of rustic charm, modern comfort, and outdoor adventure.
Whether you’re planning a multi-family vacation, a nature-focused getaway with friends, or a quiet retreat to unwind and recharge, Olympic Foothills Lodge is your serene sanctuary on the Olympic Peninsula.
The Lodge: Spacious, Cozy, and Perfect for Groups
With accommodations for up to 16 guests, the Lodge features 4 well-appointed bedrooms, a large loft, and 5 full bathrooms—including one with a traditional hot rock sauna. The master suite is located on the main floor, providing added privacy and convenience. Upstairs, the bedrooms and loft offer flexible sleeping arrangements for families and groups of all sizes.
This is not just a place to sleep—it's a space designed to gather, relax, and reconnect.
Gourmet Kitchen & Dining Spaces
The gourmet kitchen is fully stocked and ready for everything from pancake breakfasts to multi-course dinners. With high-end appliances, generous counter space, and cookware galore, it’s a joy for home chefs.
Enjoy meals at the large indoor dining table for ten, or take it outdoors to the wrap-around covered porch, complete with a gas BBQ grill and cozy seating area—perfect for morning coffee or sunset dinners.
Unplug, Slow Down, and Reconnect
The lodge is intentionally designed without TVs, encouraging guests to disconnect from screens and tune into nature, creativity, and each other. Instead, you'll find a library stocked with books, a game table for cards and board games, and a baby grand piano in the parlor for spontaneous music and reflection.
With free WiFi throughout the home, you can still stay connected when needed—but we highly recommend taking a break from the buzz.

We loved our stay . The lodge was well stocked especially the kitchen . Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. Loved the huge spa bathroom with the sauna . Steve was easy to reach and communication was easy with their management team .
Excellent accommodation for our family of 16 for Thanksgiving. The lodge has everything you could possibly need. There are no TV’s but we didn’t mind. There are a lot of games and the hot tub and sauna were perfect.
We enjoyed the spaces throughout the house and the outdoor setting. It would be a great place to stay and turn out the world. We were in town for our daughter’s wedding and didn’t spend much time there aside from showering and sleeping.

Family reunion.
Family from Vermont, Colorado and California enjoyed our stay.
well maintained, spacious, and well stocked lodge with everything you could need! the property is so private and expansive and we enjoyed exploring the hiking trails. we would definitely come again!!
The convenience of Port Angeles, with the central location to explore the natural beauty of the area. Thx Steve, for your hosting of our little adventure.
This is our second time visiting The Lodge and we were so happy to be back! Love the induction cooktop and well-stocked kitchen, enjoyed the firepit and s'mores, the hot tub and sauna, and sightseeing nearby. It is a fantastic place for family gatherings and we hope to return again.
Had a great multi-generational getaway with ages 10-70 at the Olympic Lodge and loved it so much. The huge yard (lots of games), fire pit, hot tub, and hiking trails were perfect for outdoor time in the evenings. The house has all the amenities you could ever want. And labeled so precisely! Would definitely recommend!

Thanks Meghan, Glad you enjoyed your stay at the Lodge. Come again sometime. Steve
We had a great stay at Olympic Foothills Lodge. Great place to get together with family. The outside area was great for sitting around the fire, taking a dip in the hot tub and playing lawn games. We loved the fun trails behind the house as well. Inside the kitchen had everything we needed and was spacious for all of us to eat and hang out. Thanks for all of the detail and lovely touches. Great jumping off point to see the Olympic Peninsula.
We loved the abundant space, the wood burning stove, the piano, the badminton and other outdoor games, wood chopping, the backyard trails, the hot tub, the outdoor fire pit and bbq and the nicely appointed kitchen. It was a great place for our three generation family vacation to Olympic Natl Park and Victoria BC.
This is an amazing lodge located near Olympic National Park. It has tons of amazing amenities including hot tub, sauna, campfire, hiking trails, NO TV, and more. Can’t recommend it enough - and try the waffle mix!
Beautiful property from the house to the land! Steve and his wife thought of Everything! So many little extras everywhere! So spacious and cozy. It was a perfect place to celebrate my parents' 50th! To top it off, a deer family came up to the house to say hi as did the super friendly neighbor dog! If this place is available, book it!
2nd time we've stayed here. Great homebase for a reunion of old friends & taking advantage of what Port Angeles, the Olympic Peninsula, and Victoria BC have to offer. Best stocked & organized rental house I've ever seen.
The house is beautiful, well maintained and exceptionally functional, especially if you have a larger family! If you have a piano player in your group, this is a perfect lodge to allow your musician to fill the house with music. The sauna is the cherry on top, so perfect after a long day hiking in Olympic National Park.
The Lodge was in great shape with plenty of documentation about where things were and how to operate everything. Good selection of spices and other items for cooking in the kitchen. Enjoyed the hot tub, sauna, firepit and trails. Very quiet.

About the host
Hosted by Steve Kunkel
I've been building and remodeling homes since 1975 and have lived in Washington my whole life. I’ve always had a deep appreciation for the forests and natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, which is one of the reasons I love spending time at the Lodge. As a kid, I played cello in the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra, and my love for classical music has stayed with me ever since.
I’ve been married to my wife Alice since 1979. We have two daughters and six amazing grandchildren. In 2022, I retired after completing my other property, the Copalis Beach House on the Washington coast near Ocean Shores.
Now that I’m retired, I come up to the Lodge about once a month to relax and make sure everything stays in good working order. Hosting guests and sharing this special place brings me a lot of joy.
Why they chose this property
I've always dreamed of building a cabin in the woods, so we chose a large, forested lot here in the Northwest — a place where the trees are lush, green, and peaceful year-round. We were looking for land with a stream running through it and no highway noise, and we found just that. It truly feels like having our own little National Park.
While property near the ocean had its appeal, I was drawn more to the forest. For me, the forest is deeply rejuvenating — a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature. Based on the kind feedback we've received from guests, it seems many others feel the same way.
What makes this property unique
One thing that truly sets our Lodge apart is that, after much thought, we chose not to have a TV. While we do have reliable cell service and wireless internet for those who want to stay connected, we found that the absence of a TV encourages guests to slow down, unplug, and really connect with each other.
This simple choice has contributed more than anything else to the peaceful, rejuvenating atmosphere of the Lodge. Instead of screen time, guests enjoy playing games and puzzles, making music on the piano, gathering around the outdoor fire pit, playing badminton, or walking the private forest trail. It’s a place to be present — with yourself, with nature, and with the people you’re with.
