Lochaerie Resort, Amanda Park

Lochaerie Resort offers cabins built in the late 1920s and early 1930s, each upgraded in recent years with modern comforts. Cabin Ellinor provides a small kitchen, a wood firestove, and a peek-a-boo lake view from the front porch. The Christie cabin features a magnificent view of Lake Quinault, a comfortable bed, and a daybed for seating.

Guests can use canoes and kayaks provided by the resort to explore Lake Quinault. A common room offers games, a TV, and multiple fireplaces, while outdoor grills and a beach fire pit are available for evening use. Free private parking is included with each reservation.

The resort is situated in Amanda Park, Washington, directly on the shores of Lake Quinault within the Olympic National Park region. It is 237 km from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and offers easy access to the Quinault Rain Forest and nearby hiking trails. The property is less crowded than the Hoh Rain Forest, providing a quieter base for exploring the Olympic Mountains.

Guests can observe bald eagles fishing and otters playing from the cabin decks or the lakeside beach. The resort's canoes and kayaks allow for quiet paddling on the lake. Hiking trails in the surrounding Olympic National Park lead to old-growth rainforest and mountain vistas.

The cabins are 90 years old, originally built in the 1920s, and have been carefully preserved by the caretakers. Each cabin contains a book showcasing the historical changes the building has undergone. The property maintains a rustic charm with a focus on the natural landscape and lake views.
