Cozy base camp

Stayed as a launch point to la push beach one day and to cape flattery second day. Was very relaxing hearing the river rapids so close. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some meals, but most importantly a lot of coffee. Even though it was a studio it felt much bigger. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Stay by the River

We had a great time staying in the Loft by the Sol Duc River. It was centrally located place for trips to Neah Bay, Rialto Beach, and the Hoh River Rain Forest. The kitchen and grill are well appointed; the bed is comfortable; and the Loft as a whole is quite comfortable. It is a very nice place, and we look forward to coming back again.

Peaceful escape and jumping off point for Olympic

We had an amazing stay and had everything we needed. We knew the space was on the small side, but it was super functional for cooking, sleeping, and relaxing. Plus, having the lawn and river for our boys to spread out along with outdoor tables for coffee or picnicking made it all feel just perfect!

Beautiful Hidden Gem

Lovely location near Sol Duc River. Had everything you need all you need to do is bring yourself. The sound of the river is so peaceful. We enjoyed every minute we were there. Finding the home was exactly as shown on maps. Accessing the cottage was exactly as expected. Directions left inside were perfect. There was just enough of what we needed to make ourselves feel at home. I hope to use this cottage again in the future. :)

About the host

Hosted by Property Manager

Host profile image
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.
