We loved our stay at Elwha Place. The space is so inviting, and the location was absolutely perfect for our adventures in ONP. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
The house was perfect! Super clean, comfortable furniture and beds, and beautifully decorated. Loved the back deck and the peacefulness of the river below. In addition, all of the great amenities made the stay feel just like home. Thank you!
Elwah Place was a perfect place to unwind after exploring the northern sections of Olympic National Park. Especially loved sitting on the deck, at the gas fire pit, and listening to the sounds of the creek. The apartment was very clean, modern, and comfortable. Loved having the use of a washer and dryer!

Thank you so much! We greatly appreciate your review and hopefully we have a chance to host you again in the future!
We LOVED staying here! It was cute, welcoming, clean, and comfortable. The river just below us was so awesome and we loved sitting on the deck in the morning and evenings! It was amazing having a washer and dryer too. Easy to access a ton of ONP locations and Lake Cresent. I would highly recommend booking here if you’re interested.
House was very nice and located in a quiet, secluded location near a stream. We really enjoyed the deck and grill on the back of the house. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

So happy to hear you enjoyed the home, property and location! Love to host you again!
This spot was perfect for accessing Olympic National park trails! The West Elwha trail -a 5 minute drive -was a gorgeous rainforest hike down to the river and back! The sound of Indian Creek just off the back deck was wonderful! The place was beautifully decorated with all the amenities in the kitchen. Loved being able to do laundry too!
This is a fantastic property with a stream to hike along and access to all sorts of fantastic natural wonders. The house is wonderful with everything you need. We had a fantastic stay here.

Elwha Place was absolutely amazing! It was perfect and a beautiful location! We had easy access to so many of the locations we visited in the Olympic National Park. The house was decorated beautifully and so clean! We loved having a grill on the deck for cooking dinners each night and a fire pit for drinking cocktails in the evening or coffee in the morning! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could ever want, including spices of all kinds for cooking! If you’re wanting a cozy relaxing place with an attentive host, this is the place! Dena, thank you so much for an amazing home! We loved staying at Elwha Place and can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful location with a rear deck overlooking a river. The house was very clean and comfortable with all the necessary amenities. The owner emailed specific communication to help with directions. Great place to vacation overall!
Tasteful, well located, and well appointed property near Olympic National Park!
You wouldn't think that the quality of the build would matter - but this house is well built - no squeaks, everything fits and opens/closes perfectly. It was beautifully decorated and extremely clean. It made for a cozy stay that made it easy to get to hiking in the area. Dena was a kind and attentive host, and we can't wait to come back!

This house is very clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you can imagine for a vacation home. We stayed for three nights and the family really enjoyed it. The house is near a creek. It is such a relaxing experience to wake up listening to the sound of the flowing water. Will definitely recommend it.

Thank you for your recommendation, Michael! We hope you will return again!
We loved Elwha Place. Great location, wonderful deck off living/dining area, generous space, comfortable bed, nicely stocked with everything we needed. The location was ideal - far enough from Port Angeles to feel remote yet close enough for groceries and restaurants. Great location for exploring northern part of the park. The deck was a fantastic place to relax and eat outdoors with the flowing creek below us. Would highly recommend!

This was a great place for the two of us to explore Olympic National Park. The cottage lacked for nothing, the kitchens was very well equipped. So grateful for the laundry to wash the mud off after a day of hiking! Very quiet and comfortable. Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Dena
Local business owners who love to share their homes and their love for the Pacific Northwest with guests.
Why they chose this property
This property is unique in that it is one of three vacation rental units nestled in next to Indian Creek, a tributary of the Elwha River. We have worked hard to develop the property with trails, seating areas and community spaces where you can enjoy the outdoor beauty of the trees, listen to the birds and the babble of the creek. We love to hike, fish and enjoy all of the outdoor treasures this area offers and our unique location right off of Highway 101 allows for easy travel to the Olympic National Park entrances and area Lakes. With downtown Port Angeles just an 8 minute drive to the east, you never feel too far from basic necessities but far enough to be truly "away from it all".
What makes this property unique
The apartment has been recently remodeled and has a luxury and romantic feel, perfect for couples looking to get a weekend of hiking and relaxation in during their busy lives. We love all the natural light, the coziness of the bay window seating and being able to hear the creek from the back deck.
