Hobuck Beach Resort — Hotel in Neah Bay

We loved the location and beauty of this lodging offer. They accommodated us with a dog-friendly cabin last minute, when we could not get a dog sitter for our trip. A few notes for people who have dogs. If your dog struggles with other dogs (e.g., has been attacked) or is leash aggressive, this is not the place for you. We learned the hard way. Dogs roam and "own" this place. You may walk out of your cabin's front door to find a dog from elsewhere on your porch. Dogs may follow you around, hoping for food. (Another family in a cabin told us they were actively feeding a dog regularly that was not theirs, so then it did not want to leave. ) And if you are walking your dog on the beach, unfamiliar dogs (anywhere from 1-4 at least) may come out of the nearby brush and run up on you and your leashed dog. We kept our dog close to us at all times but had to be on guard because of the roaming dogs. At one point, I had a dog charging at us on the beach, and I had to pick up my dog and wade out into the water and yell at the loose dog to stay back. We also had to drive to a remote place to take it to the bathroom because of dogs frequently, unpredictably roaming around near our cabin. One dog stole a shoe, which we recovered. A dog was barking outside our back window one morning very early for a while, so that was our wake-up call. Our dog also picked up bites, the vet expects from the cabin or around the vicinity, had an allergic reaction due to the bacteria, and we have now had a hefty vet bill. Some of the nearby hikes have dog restrictions. And there's an attitude that while you are expected to leash your dog as a guest, those who live in the area are not. If you have an easy-going dog, this place is probably amazing for them. Sadly, we just didn't know what to expect until we got there and had no idea about the carefree dog situation. When we saw leash rules, we thought we were "safe." Not the case. Aside from the dog issue, it's a special place. Make sure you bring pans or any kitchen things you may need other than 4 cups, 4 plates, 4 bowls, 4 sets of utensils, and a couple of pots and pans. Extra towels for wiping up sand and mud are a good idea to bring, too, in case it's particularly rainy and to avoid tracking in mud. And some air freshener for the dog-friendly cabins if you are sensitive to pet smells. I'm glad we brought pet shampoo with all the dirt. Just wish it had helped with the insect bites on the dog. The beach itself is gorgeous and the cabins are basic but fine. Very grateful that this place exists for so many folks to enjoy such a scenic area of...

My wife, college-aged son, little dog, and I stayed in a little cabin at the Hobuck resort and had a blast. Technically we were there in March of 2023, but I wasn’t able to select those dates for review purposes for some reason.||The cabin was cozy and well appointed; it had everything that we wanted. We had easy parking next to our cabin and our bathroom had a great exhaust fan (important in a little facility) and were able to have long, hot showers in the shower/bath tub provided. Like I said, it was perfect for us.||In March, we “owned” the beach and although the salmon and halibut seasons weren’t open at that time, we were able to hire a local, who took us to all of the hot spots to limit out on ling cod and sea bass. (Totally cool dude!). What a tight-knit and welcoming community! We saw trees full of eagles, sea lions relaxing in the sun, barking away on distant rocks, and we saw trees that were impossibly huge. |We really loved the history and traditions found there and the museum was really well done.||Now, don’t expect to have a raging party with adult libations there, as the whole reservation is dry (that includes weed)… I’ve gotta say that it was kind of refreshing being able to walk down the streets and not get accosted by the dank aromas commonly found in the city. ||The only additional thing to keep in mind is that the town shuts down relatively early. In other words, you need to eat your dinner out before 6:00 PM. The same goes for the grocery store, so make sure that you either eat early or you’ve picked up all of your dinner’s and breakfast’s components from the store prior to 6:00 PM, otherwise you’ll be going for a drive to find a restaurant or grocery store in the town over (20 miles away… hahaha)… Plan ahead!||We had loads of fun, enjoyed beautiful scenery, and fell in love with the sound of silence… well, the silence included the sound of the crashing waves, which for me, is just...

Great beach for observing small wildlife, seems the water brings up a lot of sludge in some parts of the beach here. Full of small crabs and other creatures. Saw quite a few surfers enjoying the waves. There's some small cabins available, with more being built it seems. Tent camping is in a large field with an edge of trees. There is a strip near the trees/beach that is located in a depression that appears to be the most popular spots - likely because they are protected from the wind, which can whip through here. Many groups seemed to be here to beach party. Saw lots of large group camp type setups (entry is $20/car) where people seemed to be drinking heavily (concerning since the Makah reservation is supposed to be dry). We were there two weeks before the fourth and fireworks were being set off on the beach until well after 11p and another camp group was watching a movie on a large projector setup until late. None of that really bothered us but we were irritated by the lack of facilities for the size camping area. There's one building with a single toilet stall, sink and shower for each sex, as well as an added shower I believe on the exterior of the building. They've supplemented with a handful of porta potties in the center but if you want to brush your teeth or even wash your hands after using the stall during prime toiletry time, expect to wait 20 plus minutes for the sink. Not too surprising since there were probably 150 campers here when we were, using this one bathroom building. Dear fellow campers, if you could not follow your standard 12 step skin care regime while here (or figure out how to do it at your own campsite...) that would...
