About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The River's Edge

Enjoy this ranch-style cedar rambler in Lake Quinault in the heart of the Quinault Rain Forest - Home to the Roosevelt Elk. The home sits on 5.2 acres on the South Shore Road of Lake Quinault (2.5 miles up the Quinault Valley from the Lake Quinault Lodge).

The mountain views are spectacular and the home is perfect for those that love the outdoors as the Quinault River, known for its world class fishery, flows directly behind the property. Our property boasts several resident elk herds, abundant wildlife and is a steelhead fisherman's dream. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home is ready for a family or the next getaway retreat for those wanting out of the city lights to a place where the stars shine and the elk bugle.

The home is recently remodeled with a wood stove insert, hardwood floors and an incredible kitchen with double oven, gas range, stainless steel appliances and floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry. The kitchen was designed for home-canning with deep sinks, long counters and a 6-top gas range.

The house includes two family rooms, a large laundry room and mudroom, and large cedar deck with built in propane and Stainless BBQ Enjoy the large backyard, which is perfect for wiffle ball and complete with a fire pit for those evenings of star watching, strumming the guitar, telling stories, roasting marshmallows, and eating smores!

The River's Edge also boasts a large back yard for tent camping. We have the perfect spot for a family reunion, weddings or large gatherings. *Inquire for special pricing for large parties and weddings.

The River's Edge is not on the river. We chose this house name because of the history of our home (It's quite a story, one that can be found in the welcome book upon arrival). The house is 2.5 miles from the lake and a short walk away to access to the river. E-mail us and we will let you know how to access the river bar for miles of exploring!

Unplug! Our internet is not fast or reliable. We have the best service as provided by CenturyLink, but sadly telecommunications has not reached our rural area yet and Internet service is average and below average for speed. We also experience frequent outages. The River's Edge is in the RAINFOREST at the edge of the Colonel Bob Wilderness area. There is fast and free DSL service at the Amanda Park Library 10 minutes up HWY 101.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

I think Kellie has spoiled us for all future VRBO rentals!
This is a beautiful home, perfectly located for our hikes around the Olympic Peninsula. It was quiet, the beds were comfortable, and we really appreciated that all of the bedding and towels were washed with unscented detergent. 3 things really set this house apart from other places we have stayed in the past: 1) this is a *home* where Kellie and her family lived, and it shows - it just feels, well, homier than many places that feel like they were furnished and decorated as rentals, but don't feel like they were ever lived in; 2) the place is amazingly well-stocked - all the kitchen utensils and appliances you could want and then some, much more generously stocked with non-perishable foods and spices than we've seen elsewhere, and lots of little things like a big stash of flashlights, enough so everyone could have one if the power went out; 3) Kellie was amazingly friendly and instantly responsive when a few minor questions came up while we were there and when we contacted her a week later about an item we thought we might have left there. We are very, very happy to have found such a wonderful place to stay.

This home and space worked very well for our large family to gather from Vermont and Montana. We hiked, went swimming, explored the area and went to the coast. The distance for groceries and supplies is a bit far if you need quantity. But with some planning it worked out fine.

We went with my son and his wife. While they went out I stayed and enjoyed the property, read and relaxed. From the back deck I saw a black bear wondering through. I felt like I was going home to my childhood. Thank you! We will be back :)

Well located for family gathering for hikingf and lake front water activities
a very well stocked kitchen with good sleeping provisions for three couples a toddler an infant and two teens (but not for 4 couples) . It is perfectly located for hikes around the Quinault and vicinity and swimming or boating on the lake nearby. Very clean well located home for a family gathering. We also enjoyed picking juicy plump blackberries along the property's edge to make the yummiest blackberry crisp and down the road to purchase fresh chicken and duck eggs.

Wonderful home away from home
We stayed 2 nights, our family consisted of 6 adults (age range 20-62) a teen & a toddler. Everyone felt comfortable & happy in the home. I brought plenty of toys for my toddler, we also brought an outdoor game for the adults & 2 portable hammocks. There was plenty of outdoor seats (nice camping chairs & a few plastic ones) the deck is pretty large but we mostly sat & played in the grassy area. The living room was spacious & comfortable to watch a show or movies. We watched “Harry & the Henderson’s” (we brought it) which is a perfect theme for the area as it’s a Seattle area (friendly Sasquatch) movie with some Olympic nation parks footage. The beds were comfortable although an adult wouldn’t be comfortable in one of the twin beds, my sister went to the couch to sleep. There is plenty of kitchen space & utensils to make meals. On our stay we visited Ruby beach the Hoh rainforest & the giant spruce (perfect short flat trail for a 1 & 1/2 year old) also stopped in at the Quinalt Lodge to see the historic building.

Graduation Weekend
Spent graduation weekend exploring the surrounding areas of Lake Quinault and multiple beaches. The location of this property is perfect. Nice and quiet and couldn’t ask for a more tranquil setting to decompress and sit around with family. We missed the Elk bedding down in the field by mere hours. Really connected with this owner’s testimony and history of the house. We would definitely return.

We enjoyed our stay. It's hard to find a property that will have 14 people and on such short notice. The only issue we had was with getting enough hot water. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the water heater or what the problem was. We had multiple cold showers. But the enjoyment we had outweighed all else.

Great place to get away!
My family rented this amazing place to have quality time together and to ring in the New Year. Kellie was a great host and the house was ready and was as advertised. The rambler was spacious, clean, well-stocked & had many amenities. The property is massive and had plenty of room for our pups to run around in. Having a couple of bald eagles fly around was very cool as well. Overall, we all enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider coming back again!

Thanksgiving
This setting was everything we could have hoped for and more. We spent our Thanksgiving vacation here and it was truly perfect. We had absolutely everything we needed. My brother brought his star link so we were able to watch movies and kids were able to use the internet for games and what not. We didn’t have it the first day which was nice because it forced the kids to really hang with us. I could have gone without but if you can’t I’d suggest bringing that. This place was absolutely amazing. All of it.. The double ovens really helped for Thanksgiving. All of it was amazing. We are so grateful and thankful for the experience.

Perfect place for a family gathering
We were so happy to find this place. It had plenty of space for our large group, including setting up a few tents along the side of the meadow. Big, well stocked kitchen for preparing lots of food. And lots of tables and chairs available for setting up to eat outside on the deck. The grill was plenty big and cooked our dinner meats perfectly! There were also lots of indoor spaces for hanging out in smaller groups after it got dark. And the stars were amazing! The Milky Way was easy to see and we saw quite a few shooting stars. All in all it exceeded all of our expectations and was the perfect place for us to gather.

Good location for rainforest exploring.
Good location for rainforest exploring and Lake Quinault area. Saw a herd of Rosevelt Elk just down the road one day. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was supplied well for doing all the cooking for our stay. Liked the seating and table area by the kitchen for hanging out. The instant water heater worked well but was noisy if you use the bedroom closest to the laundry area. We used the fans provided to help cool the place when we returned from a day out. Lighting over the stove is poor and could have used brighter light bulbs in the lights in the living area. Do not count on any internet or cell phone reception. The owner did contact their service for us and had a family member stop by but it never got better. Even had issues with the land line.

Lots to love about this property... but be bear aware!
Overall a great place to stay- comfy beds, lots of comfy sofas and loungers, awesome deck, great AC, plenty of space to gather or chill, clean, lots of storage area, well-provisioned kitchen (tho more dish rags/kitchen towels would be nice). Close enough to small stores to pick up more paper towels and trash bags if needed. Not exactly at the river's edge... closest access is a shortish walk down the next road but the bank there is a 5 ft drop into mucky grass and water that looks too deep and fast to access safely. If you're looking for a pebbly shore where kids can play in the water, you'll need to go to one of the camp accesses. Bear: On the first day, we tried to find a path to the river from the property through the woods, but encountered a sizable black bear heading towards one of our party at the edge of the back lawn. Shouts from the deck drove it back into the woods. Saw it again there the next morning, then not again, but found bear scat between the firepit and the edge of the lawn. This made us reluctant to let the kids (tweens) play outside without supervision, and uneasy about spending much time at night at the fire pit. Not entirely a deal breaker, but a heads up from the property owner would be appreciated.
