Wow, what an incredible stay we had here. Came with my dad and step-mom for two nights on our tour around the coast, and we all agreed we had stayed here for the entire time. I could have easily spent a week here, alternating between sitting out front reading in the sun, walking along the river, driving to the coastal beaches just 4 miles down the road, and heading inland for a hike or two in the Hoh rainforest.
This place was impeccably clean, very modern for a renovated motel built more than half a century ago. The unit was a one-bedroom (king size bed), with a full kitchen (stocked well with kitchen wares) and bathroom (with heated floors). I slept incredibly well on the pull-out couch-ish thing (a clever little twin-sized thing) with the provided feather-bed topper. The whole place was very thoughtfully put together. They had a small selection of spices in the kitchen, thoughtful toiletries in the bathroom, and the place even boasted a laundry area ($5 a load, which you pay at the office).
Very courteous people running the place, and they kept everything really nice. The daily 'refresh' of the unit felt like they were quick but they caught everything (replaced empty tissue box, replaced used coffee packet, etc). Lawn was impeccable - and the flowers were just stunning.
Only thing they didn't have was a coffee grinder, as far as I could tell. But they provided little packets of coffee (which wasn't half bad for pre-ground, packet coffee).
Overall, such a positive experience. I know we'll definitely be back if/when we make it over again to...
Read moreThis was our fifth trip to the Quillayute River Resort. If is one of our favorite places to visit.||This trip was a little different: we had a second couple with us, and rented Room 1, which is the only 2-bedroom unit. Queen bed in one room, two twin beds in the other. Sharing a single bath. A little snug for four adults, but it was fine.||Everything was spotlessly clean. Very pleasant. We got lucky and hit dry weather, which is not all that common in April. It is a rainforest, after all.||The kitchen was extremely well-equipped, including a small spice collection (very convenient -- I'd forgotten chili powder, and there it was!) Plenty of equipment, dishes, and cutlery. We prepared six meals there in two days, including a picnic for the road on the day of departure. No problem.||The grounds are meticulously maintained, including a surprising long walking path that left from below the main house. ||We saw eagles constantly, had a coyote pass through, and enjoyed watching the merganzer family fish their way downstream with the current, then fly back up and do it again. ||We'll return again. I think if I were to do two couples again, I might get us separate one-bedroom units, to have a little more privacy and separate bathrooms. ||This place is a premium cost over other places in and near Forks, but it is a superior location, a superior accommodation, and...
Read moreTried staying at the lost resort by Rialto beach but they have a two night minimum. I asked what the attendant recommended nearby and she told me Quillayute River Resort. I AM SO HAPPY SHE DID. I’m serious when I tell you this… I felt so at home! They had such a cute furnace running for us when we walked through the door. A beautiful kitchen with William Sonoma-esque kitchenware, kitchen table for meal prep, and even had a table cloth for the dinner table. We didn’t use it but they had a full charcoal grill with charcoal waiting for us. The couches were super comfortable as well. I want to know where to buy one! Of course, everything was super clean and the bedrooms were just as spotless. Bathroom was very clean as well with all the soaps and towels ready for use. This place resembles Crystal Cove Cottages in Southern California. For such a great price you get the beautiful scenery being river front and all the supplemental goodies on top of the lodging essentials. Linda and Chip could not have been better hosts. I felt as if they welcomed me into their own home. The bathroom tiles were even heated! Thank you for the stay and as the Terminator says -...
