About this property
Riverfront Loft Retreat w/ BBQ & Fire Pit
Experience serene riverfront living in our charming loft! Perched above the garage, this cozy studio offers a fully equipped kitchen, a stylish Italian-tiled bathroom, a queen bed & sofa bed, plus a private deck with a gas BBQ. Enjoy breathtaking river views and relaxing evenings by the fire pit on the river bank for an unforgettable retreat.
Although the loft is small, it has much to offer. A mini refrigerator & freezer, oven, stovetop, Keurig, stovetop, and all the basics for making a home cooked meal. A small dining table, couch and TV, along with essentials like linens, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, cooking oil, salt & pepper, tea, coffee, and creamer, ensure you feel right at home.
Our location is perfectly positioned for adventure. Nestled just west of Lake Crescent and Forks, this prime location puts you minutes from the crystal-clear waters of Lake Crescent, 17 miles from the panoramic views of Hurricane Ridge, 35 miles from the rugged charm of Rialto Beach, 60 miles from the enchanting Hoh Rainforest and we're less than a mile from the Camp Creek trailhead of the ODT.

About the host
Hosted by Property Manager

We are Ted and Brenda Connely. Brenda grew up in Forks. Ted is from Nebraska but has been here on the Olympic Peninsula since 1976. We were living in Port Angeles when we found our river place. A friend mentioned the property might be available. We bought it and spent every spare moment for the next four years fixing up the old house on the property. One day in March of 2004 Brenda came back to the cabin from work in Port Angeles carrying Sam the cat, who had been the only one occupying the house in Port Angeles most of the time. 'We live here now,' she announced, 'we're always here anyway.' She got no argument from Ted and so the house in Port Angeles was sold and we became full time residents at the cabin. Since the cabin had only one bedroom and no garage, we decided to take care of both problems at once and build a garage with an apartment above. The loft was our guest room until we decided to buy a larger home closer to Forks, still on the river but not as special. We couldn't bring ourselves to sell the Riverside place so we decided to share it with others by turning in into a vacation rental. It has been gratifying to see our guests love it too. So many have told us they don't want to leave at the end of their stay.
Why they chose this property
Even though the property was all grown up with weeds and the house was very run down, we knew at first sight this was our place. The sparkling river running along the edge of the yard, the golden light coming through the trees, just the peaceful feel of the place. Many guests have used the word 'magical' to describe their feelings about the place.
What makes this property unique
We originally bought this property for our own vacation home with no thought of its potential as a vacation rental property. But not only is it a beautiful, relaxing, welcoming spot to stay, it is very handily located within an hour's drive of nearly all the attractions of the northwest section of Olympic National Park. Many guest comment on what a great base camp it is for seeing the park. We have often heard how nice it is to come home to after a day of hiking and exploring to sit by the river, BBQ on the deck, sit by the river, build a fire in the firepit, and sleep in the very comfortable beds.
