Iron Springs Resort — Hotel in Hoquiam

Finally getting around to this review even though my visit was last fall, but obviously I’m still dreaming of it… there’s no place quite like this, with the combination of privacy/quiet but not feeling too remote; views of this part of the NW coast with its tall rocky bluffs but also easy and private access to the beach; and luxe yet rustic cabins.||||I chose cabin 14 because I liked that the bedroom isn’t a completely closed off room, and is open to all of the corner windows and the view, and the fantastic rock fireplace in the center of the cabin. I think 14 is the priciest cabin but is well worth it. The style is mid-century modern-ish, with sloping wood ceiling angled toward the ocean views and a skylight in the kitchen/dining area. If you get a good rain while you are there, and chances are decent, you can hear it pattering on the roof, very peaceful! ||||The kitchen is nicely stocked with all of the tools you need, and bonus a quiet dishwasher. The guest binder on the living room table is very helpful with lots of info on places to visit and eat in the area, and I think something like 14 pages! listing all of the DVD’s you can borrow from the office, a great selection sorted by genre. It’s also fun looking through the past guestbooks and reading how other guests have spent their time here.||||Don’t bother overpacking as clothing storage is minimal, no closet or drawers in the bedroom, just one shelf/bench and some hanging hooks; plus some more hanging hooks over the bench near the front door. A nice touch in the bathroom is that the shower has dual heads on opposite ends – so a couple can shower at the same time if you want, or if not, you can still have your own ‘end’ of the shower to store your personal bath stuff.||||Wifi is a bit spotty and not fast, but likely you didn’t come here for that. There is a decent selection of channels on cable. Don’t miss the cinnamon rolls that you can pick up in the office, or also can order ahead of time to have them waiting in the freezer for you... some of the best cinnamon rolls ever. The daily maintenance staff is very unobtrusive, but every day you have stocked firewood and garbage/recycling checked.||||A stay at Iron Springs had been on my bucket list since I’d seen online how they remodeled a few years back, and I’m so happy I had the...

Spent 4 days in August at this wonderful beachfront resort. We were there with another couple and there 2 boys…we each had our own cabin. The resort was well maintained, the service was excellent, the cabins were clean and well appointed. ||We stayed in cabin 2 which is right near the office/resort store (but not too close). Essentially a studio where the bedroom is more of a nook, but the living/dining/kitchen were quite large. That space had seating for 4 and a dining table with seating for 6. The kitchenette was compact but had a full sized fridge, range & microwave plus an apartment sized dishwasher, which was wonderful to have. Quite a bit of storage and countertops for a small kitchen. There was a propane BBQ on the deck. Great views of the creek and the ocean from the living room and deck. Free wood is provided for the wood stoves in each cabin. One comment is that the cabins do not have AC. Opening windows does create quite good airflow with the ocean breezes but would suggest folks bring fans if staying in August.||There is access to the beach via a trail on the other side of the office. We did some great beach combing and playing in the surf. The resort has a substantial wooded trail system. Close to the village of Seabrook, town of Copalis Beach, and Ocean Shores. The small resort store is quite well stocked for the size. But there is a relatively large grocery store in Seabrook and another small store in Copalis Beach which is pretty well stocked with essentials. Both are less than 10 minutes from the resort.||Had a marvelous time and would definitely stay again. We did try to book for next August and the dates we wanted were not available…they book up fast. We are looking at a possible winter trip to see the difference and do some storm watching. ...

Our long weekend at Iron Springs on the Pacific coast of Washington was everything we needed. It was our first trip together without our daughter and man do parents need to do that. We were supposed to be in France for our anniversary and when that got canceled we decided to go somewhere neither of us had ever been - the PNW. I stumbled across this remarkable place and am so happy that I did. We walked along the wide ocean beach and in the thick mossy forest. It was unlike any landscape we had ever seen. We spent rainy hours inside watching movies and evenings listening to the crackling fire. Watched the waves thunder in to shore from our deck and witnessed the most spectacular sunset on our last night. Spending time here during this year reinforced to me that we all are most at home in nature. Nature provides and nature heals, if you are overwhelmed or lost you can always find your way back through the elements of nature. Thank you to the fantastic team Iron Springs Resort for giving us this place and this weekend - we will be back!||Our cabin was immaculate and the daily wood delivery was such a thoughtful convenience. Loved that they have a little store for essentials. We just missed razor clam digging and want to plan another trip so...
