Us FunGals came together for a 3 night stay at this beautiful property and we’re just wowed as we entered the home. We came to Quinault to host the Quinault Rainforest Mushroom Festival at the Lake Quinault School. Our stay was so convenient, comfy, serene, peaceful! We absolutely fell in love with this property. We look forward to coming back October 2025.

Great vacation rental

We have rented from this owner in the padt, and she is great to work with. She has 3 properties in Amanda Park, WA, 2 are on the lake, 1 across the gravel road. All 3 are nice. We will continue to rent from her!

Great lake house!

Our family loved this property! Clean, spacious and had everything we needed for our family. We loved the deck and close access to the lake. Great base for lots of activities in the surrounding area. The lake is beautiful, quinault rainforest, ocean not too far away and amazing waterfalls/swim holes if you're willing to drive some down forest roads!

Beautiful house at a great location

The house was immaculately clean and very nicely decorated. It was also larger than I expected, with plenty of room for 8 people. It is a 2 minute walk to the beach, from which you can swim or launch a kayak or a paddle board. We love Lake Quinault and the nearby rainforest.

Glamping by Lake Quinault

We loved this cabin by the Lake! For those of us who love to camp, this was a dream place. We could feel like we were camping and still have the comforts of home. The kids loved kayaking in the lake, and playing amongst the driftwood. We enjoyed campfires, kayaking, exploring all the driftwood, hikes in the rainforest and tide pooling at the ocean.

Fantastic home and location

This is one of the nicest VRBOs we've been in, and the location can't be beat. Our group enjoyed the kayaks and walking down to the lake often. The sport court in the backyard and fire pit were also great fun for the kids. We all were able to gather together for movie night (Twilight, of course) with plenty of living room seating. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. Our large group loved our stay!

Lovely Home with Great Lake Views and Access

We enjoyed our stay at Brenda's very clean and comfortable home. We rented two properties so we had convenient access to the lake for kayaking and watching wildlife (eagles!). The kitchen was very well equipped, and the bathrooms sparkling. The bed configuration allowed us to have grandkids in one room, which they loved. We were out and about most of the time we were at Lake Quinault so it was especially nice to return to such a tranquil location.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Communication
The house was spacious. The house is near the lake but a house in front blocks most of the view. The kitchen was well equipped and a great place to cook. The bath amenities are minimal (e.g., no body lotion). There is no laundry facility. The host was not very accessible nor helpful. The host expects a lot of clean-up, which is surprising considering the cost of the rental and the fact that we are paying for cleaning. You will need to remove sheets, put them in a particular spot etc. I was also surprised at the huge deposit when booking (I got my deposit back). Overall, for the amount charged per night, I would have expected better.

Absolutely wonderful vacation rental

Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Lake Quinault vacation home. The house was larger than expected and even nicer than the pictures suggested. We found ourselves wishing we had booked a longer stay at the house. Located on the north side of the lake, it is well situated for hikes at the Quinault rainforest and vicinity and not too far from the beaches or Hoh rainforest for day trips. The kitchen is well equipped. There was plenty of water pressure in the showers and the beds were very comfortable. The only problem we had was there was no internet connection at all while we were there. Connection to cellular data through AT&T was also very spotty in the area, so we found ourselves disconnected for a few days. If you absolutely need an internet connection it is available at the local library, but double check about whether the problem with the house internet has been fixed if you need a reliable local connection.

Great home base for exploring OP rainforest

The house was comfortable, clean, well furnished and equipped, and in a lovely spot great for exploring Lake Quinault and its rainforest trails. We enjoyed taking the kayaks down to the lake public access point (we carried them because we couldn’t quite figure out the rollers), dipping our toes in, and skipping stones. Thanks for a great stay.

Family Oasis

The home is lovely and has everything you need! The lake access is a very short walk- maybe 2 minutes, tops, with a small beach and a view of Lake Quinault that is beyond words. Highly recommend the short hike at the nearby Rangers Station. I thought we would spend more time on the North Shore but I was wrong- South Shore was so much better. We drove around the lake towards evening (long drive) and saw lots of wildlife. Fire pit with s’mores to wrap each night. Thank you for a very special trip!

Beautiful, Peaceful Family Vacation Spot

We had a great time staying here for 3 nights with our 4 young kids (ages 1-7). The interior of the house is not ideal in being friendly to a toddler (some fragile items around), but the yard outside is perfect so we hardly spent any time in the house. Big deck, wagon, and basketball hoop were a hit! Such a short walk to the shore of Lake Quinault, and accessible to the coast and Olympic NP as well. Highly recommend!

Owner/manager: Brenda Sansom
My family moved to Lake Quinault for the love of the area in1975. I graduated from Lake Quinault High School, married and raised a family of three daughters who all graduated from Lake Quinault High School as well. Our love for this wonderful place generated from generations of both sides of the family who also lived, schooled and raised families here. With our love for nature, the great outdoors and wildlife, Lake Quinault has fulfilled all our desired activities and tranquility of our relaxation needs. I am fortunate to be able to share this spectacular vacation area of Lake Quinault and Olympic National Park with people from all over the world and provide comfortable clean accommodations to our visitors. My greatest joy is to continue to share this amazing place with my family and my five grandsons. They all say that life is a dream at Lake Quinault!
