Lake Crescent Lodge

Deep in the forest at the foot of Mt. Storm King, this 1916 lodge has a variety of comfortable accommodations, from basic rooms with shared baths to spacious two-bedroom fireplace cottages. The historic lodge has second-floor rooms with shared baths. The popular Roosevelt Cottage cabins feature polished wood floors, stone fireplaces, and lake views, and the one- and two-bedroom Singer Tavern Cottages are modeled after the original 1916 cabins and have their own porches with wicker chairs. Additional motel-style rooms are available in adjacent buildings. The lodge's picture windows frame the lake's sapphire waters, and its fir-paneled dining room overlooks the lake; the adjacent lounge is often crowded with campers. Boat tours of the lake (fee) run 90 minutes and are available several times a day through the summer season.

Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort

$$$ | 12076 Sol Duc Hot Springs Rd., Olympic National Park, 98363, USA

The main draw of this remote 1910 resort, located deep in the brooding forest along the Sol Duc River and surrounded by 5,000-foot-tall mountains, is the pool area, with soothing mineral baths and a freshwater swimming pool. Some forest cabins have kitchens, but all are spartan; however, after a day's hike, a dip, and dinner at the Springs Restaurant, you'll hardly notice. The attractive fir-and-cedar-paneled dining room serves unpretentious meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinnertime, drawing on top Northwest seafood and produce.

Pros

  • Nearby trails
  • Peaceful setting
  • Some units are pet-friendly

Cons

  • Units are dated and very basic, and cleanliness may be inconsistent
  • No air-conditioning, TV, or Internet access
  • Pools get crowded
