Welcome to the Elk House! 4 Private Acres/Close to Hiking and Lake Quinault!

The Elk House is the Quinault Rain Forest's best kept secret and we are back in business! This 2 bedroom, 2 bath open-concept home was built in 2006 and sits on 4 acres of private land for you to enjoy and explore. It's hard to decide where the yard ends and nature begins. Barbeque on the 280 sq. ft. covered porch and watch for Roosevelt Elk that often graze in the front field, sometimes as close as 30 feet from the house! Get cozy next to the gas fireplace under 17 foot vaulted ceilings and watch for bald eagle, black-tail deer and great blue heron--regular visitors of the property. Enjoy the outdoor fire pit area and stargaze on clear summer nights. Explore nearby Zeigler Creek, picnic under a giant Maple tree and take leisurely walks around the property. The Elk House property is tranquility at it's best!

If you want to venture out, drive, bike or walk the South Shore Road and discover nearby hiking trails, explore the World's Largest Spruce Tree, visit the famous glacier-fed Lake Quinault, or jump in your car or take a guided tour of the 31 mile loop drive into the Olympic National Park to see spectacular waterfalls, giant evergreen trees and wildlife. Whether you are here to experience outdoor recreation or just get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, the Elk House is the perfect place for you to rest and rejuvenate.

While staying at the Elk House you will enjoy all the comforts of home. A fully functional kitchen with double convection oven and gas cook top, full-size built-in microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator allows you to enjoy family dining in a private and pristine setting. The open-concept kitchen/dining room/living room creates a family atmosphere that can't be beat! Take refuge in the 350 sq. ft. open loft with a large picture window or in the private suite on the main floor.

The Elk House was built with the outdoor enthusiast and family in mind. Everywhere you look, nature abounds. Make your next memory in Lake Quinault at the Elk House!

Convenient location, comfortable home
Nice house located in a field, off the beaten path of Quinault. Peaceful and quiet. Enjoyed sitting on the porch. Saw the herd of elk early one morning. The TV and dishwater were not working.

Great location
This is a very nice cabin in the woods, near hiking and biking. The only issue was the fact that the dishwasher is still not functioning.

Appropriately named
We saw a herd of 15 elk on the morning of our departure. What a treat! The place is perfect for a small family or 2 couples. It’s out away from traffic and noise. The tv is a large screen set with Direct Tv channels. My only suggestion is that the grill is in need of upgrading. We used it anyway but it’s showing it’s age and usage. This is our second time here and we’d return again as it’s near some of our favorite hikes.

Beautiful cabin
We had a lovely weekend around Lake Quinault and the Elklodge provided a great home base. Very clean, well stocked, and close to everything in the area. Master bedroom on the lofted top floor is open to the living room but is visibly private.

Wide open spaces
Peaceful quiet wide meadow behind this bright and open house. Close to Quinault Lodge and Olympic NP. Owner was very responsive to our call about grill issues. We would suggest that the kitchen be a bit more stocked With spices and paper products like baggies and aluminum foil . The porch needs comfortable seating, 4 rockers to sit and view the property would be a great addition! Overall A great getaway.

Clean and spacious with a beautiful view
We loved the serene setting and the opportunity to watch elk graze right on the property. Wish the seating on the porch had been more comfortable. Dishwasher was not working which is a small thing.
