We absolutely loved our stay here and plan on returning if we can! The location was gorgeous and peaceful with plenty of room. Since we cooked most of our meals here, we were thankful to have access to so many kitchen supplies as well. Thank you for letting us stay in such a lovely home !
Everything from check-in to check-out was perfect for my family of eight. The house was clean and equipped nicely in the kitchen. Thank you for making our vacation the best it could be.
The house was perfect for our family get-together. Plenty of room, well stocked and an awesome ping pong table. We enjoyed the quiet property surrounded by forest and loved the private trail. Would love to visit again!
Great place in a great location that allowed us to explore and experience the Olympic Peninsula

This was an amazing place!Beautiful inside and out. Our family really enjoyed our stay. Quiet, peaceful. The view was amazing. Convenient to Forks (stores, coffee shops, restaurants), access to mutilated outdoor activities (beaches, fishing, hiking, Hoh rain forest, SolDuc river/ hot springs).Very clean, with lots and lots of space and conveniences. Highly recommend!!
I highly recommend this lovely home. It really has it all— beautiful location, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and perfectly clean. We’d certainly stay again if we’re back in the area.

Thanks for taking such great care of the Wild Duc Lodge during your stay. Guests like yourself make it easy to provide a quality service.. Thank You Jeff
The home and property was immaculate. The home was a very modern with plenty of room for everyone. The back deck, the fire pit and the beautiful view is where we spent most of our time. Highly recommend to anyone with a big group.
very well setup for the infrequent user. everything you could want except a hot tub.

If you only knew the trouble that tub causes in a government created water restrictive zone,,,, in a rain forest..
Yes please, make it make sense..
Thanks for noticing, Jeff ;)
Stayed here for five nights, with a group of nine adults and one child. The property is gorgeous and well taken care of. Perfectly set up for fishing groups as well.

Thank you, we got lucky that week was full of challenges from plumbing to equipment failures.. We snuck in the repairs with not much time to spare, thanks for the great review... Shannon is so incredible isn't she...

Group of 5 friends in our 40's and we had a wonderful stay at Wild Duc Lodge. House is spacious and clean, and has everything you could possibly need. Outdoor space is fantastic; we used the grill and fire pit, and enjoyed watching the elk each day. Forks is 8 minutes away and has grocery stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. Perfect location for exploring Olympic National Park. Thanks for a great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at Sul Doc lodge. Surrounded by peaceful nature yet close to town and Olympic NP. The house was big enough for our 2 families. Has a short beautiful hike in the forest on the property.
First time in WA. Great private house and property with all the amenities

About the host
Hosted by Jeff and Lisa Brazda
Being a Washington state fishing guide, I live in Forks all winter and spring for steelhead season. My wife of 35+ years and I have a home in the Yakima River valley near Ellensburg for the rest of the year. I operate a guide/ lodge service in winter and vacation rental from the Wild Duc during the spring and summer months. We both went fife high school and met shortly after, we have a family of 6, us and 3 Labradors that enjoy hunting and fishing year around.
Why they chose this property
After my first visit to Forks , then called the "Steelhead Capitol of the World" I knew I would someday be a resident. Now over 35 years later and 21 seasons of guiding these rivers we purchased our second home here. I feel the area has so much to offer the visitor just passing through that the combination or winter fishing and summer vacation travel made it an easy move.
What makes this property unique
The Wild Duc Lodge is situated down a long private drive and over looks the local landscape from a moderate elevated location giving it just enough tranquility and length of view to be special. A very quiet and serene landscape of local rainforest and meadows commonly grazed by Roosevelt elk herds. Morning local clouds and mist rise off the Sol Duc river giving a special touch. South Easterly view offer amazing sun rises and long shadows at sunset. Centrally located out on the NW Olympic Peninsula being close to the amenities of Parks, Ocean Beaches and five local salmon and steelhead rivers provide outdoor tranquility for all.
