Fodor's Expert Review Domaine Madeleine

Perched on a bluff above the Strait of Juan de Fuca, these opulent suites and cottages have updated contemporary decor, colorful murals, fireplaces, and water, mountain, and garden views. Three cottages offer even more privacy and unique settings, such as one by a waterfall. The Lake Crescent Suite has French doors leading to a private outdoor patio that looks out to the ocean; the Hoh Rainforest Suite has cathedral ceilings and expansive water views; and the top floor Hurricane Ridge Suite has a ski-lodge style fireplace, steam shower sauna, and more great views. The grounds include a replica of a portion of Claude Monet's Giverny garden, woodland and waterfall gardens, and a picking garden where guests can help themselves to flowers and berries. Four-course breakfasts, delivered to your room if you'd like, and gourmet snacks are all available.
