  The Hoh House was exactly what we needed it to be! It was a prefect fit for a two family vacation. The men hit the winter steelhead run on the Bogachiel river while the women and children (teens and 10 year old) relaxed and explored Forks. Although the Hoh House is a trailer, it most certainly is not a single wide, and it was clean and roomy. We cheated a bit and brought the playstation for the kids, which did help to keep them occupied and happy. We brought our dog and she was thoroughly thrilled with the property. The photos were accurate, but they did not show the decent size tv and dvd player that were there. Although there is satellite, there were only a few channels available. We brought several movies and a tv series on dvd and this proved to be a good idea. There was not enough toilet paper, as mentioned by other reviewers, but that is not that big of a deal to us, as we were going in to town to buy groceries anyway. We enjoyed eating lunch in town at Sully's and the Coffee Shop and shopping at Native to Twilight and Forks Outfitters. I would recommend arriving in the daylight if possible, as it was hard to find in the dark. I drove back and forth across the bridge a few times before finding the driveway. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wishing to enjoy some good times in this area. It was everything we needed to enjoy our time there and I would not hesitate to stay there again.

  The home was comfortable and accessable. Some initial supplies including toilet paper, paper towels and dish soap were not supplied as expected. On Friday of our week stay, the water system dried up and we had to supply potable and sanitary water until we left on Sunday. The problems were not an obstacle, just an inconvienance and we were refunded a portion of our rental. We would recommend this site to others. There was closeby access to Pacific Ocean beaches and the Olympic National Park. We liked The Restraunt in Forks and took advantage of closeby ocean fishing. Highway truck noise early in the morning was noticable.

  Owner response: The perils of a drought on the Olympic peninsula! The spring fed well dried up and we had to cancel all future bookings! Luckily these folks were understanding and flexible. It was beyond all of our control and with the rain - comes not only the beautiful green rainforest but also water for the people in the area! We have had this property for over 10 years and this is the first time the well ran dry! It was also the driest spring and summer in the history of record keeping on the peninsula. Glad we got it all going now and the water is restored!

  I don't know why I waited so long to post something about this wonderful little gem. In December of last year I embarked on a four week art residency of my own, immersing myself in painting and photography, romping the beaches with my dog and taking in all the beauty of the Olympic Peninsula. Not only was this place tucked away, private and comfortable, but it was so much, that I didn't want to leave. Everything was perfect from the cleanliness, to the location and the owners are the nicest people to do business with. I would highly recommend the Hoh house to anyone, it was an amazing 4 weeks that I will never forget.

  Our family reunion here, to visit the Rain Forest was very fun. When we first arrived, we were surprised that the Hoh house was a single wide trailer! The spacious grounds were well used by the grandchildren- the swings were so exciting! Just a couple of warnings: it only sleeps 4 adults comforably. We had an extra adult who had to sleep on the floor, so one bedroom was devoted to the kids. The Toilet paper issue, as written by another reviewer, was also a small problem, But we had to make a visit to the Thriftway in Forks anyway. Another disapointment was that the river access was difficult for young children. One big plus was that we had evening fires to roast marshmellows and just sit and relax! Thanks for the washer/dryer. A definite need for our family. So, overall, it was comforable, very clean, and great location.

  We couldn't have asked for a better location to see the entire peninsula. Well worth the money. We had a great time! The house was as advertised and clean. I would def recommend staying here.

  This wonderful piece of land was everything we could ask for. For "Girls Weekend Get Away" we felt very safe with the lock gate and fenced area. It slept 6 comfortably. We even had people out in tents. The large, flat, yard was nicely manicured for yard games. It would have been a little nicer if the grass had been bagged but the kids did not seem to mind one bit. We had a fire every night under the stars. The campground next door was absolutely perfect fishing!! We went to Ruby Beach 12 miles away, we went into down town Forks and we could hardly wait to get back to the humble Hoe camp where all the fun was, that we were able to create in such a large fantastic area! Thanks so much for your hospitality. I have 2 suggestions, #1 Bring your own TP the place provides four rolls with 8 people it does not last long. #2 Go during the warm months when you don't need to use the furnace :)

  Owner response: Thanks for the review! Glad you had such a great time there! Also - thanks for the heads up on the tp! I will pass that on to our caretaker and make sure there is extra stock on hand.

  Was it the Waldorf? No, but we weren't looking for the Waldorf. It was clean, well supplied, correctly promoted, what we expected. Met our needs. A lot cheaper than getting 3 hotel rooms in town for the 8 of us. Large kitchen with table for 8. Nice walk down to the river, easy access from highway. Included DISH network which was an added plus. Would use it again. Close to Hoh Rain forest, Ruby beach just 12 miles.

  Owner response: Happy you enjoyed your time at the Hoh House and at Olympic National Park! Let us know if you want to visit the area again! Happy to host!

  Friends and I stayed here for the weekend and had a great time! The house far exceeded our expectations! The yard was huge and perfect for croquet. We enjoyed grilling on the bbq and roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. The location was ideal, 5 miles to ruby beach and close to many olympic hiking trails. I would absolutely stay here again!

  We had a fantastic time at the Hoh House. The location for exploring this part of the penninsula is AMAZING. You are as close to the Hoh rainforest as you can get (20 miles from visitor center) without camping. You are also very close to Rialto Beach, Second Beach, Third Beach, Ruby Beach, La Push and Forks. This is a very isolated part of the penninsula but extremely beautiful, there are no nice hotels or million dollar rental homes. It is camping or the few motor inns or The Hoh House! The location of this place is perfect for exploring all of these places. The property is big, 3 acreas mostly cut grass. Great for kids to run around or to toss a ball or do whatever. Nice firepit behind the house. The house is right on the river but there is a steep bank to get down to it. There is a trail but it is steep. House had everything you need, pots, pans, utensils... It is basic stuff that all worked fine. A little short on cups, I told owner and they were very responsive and at least told me they plan on taking care of it. Other guests have left behind things like salt and pepper, spices... The house is a manufactured home not a full brick and mortar house. We had no problem with that. The area it is in is remote (that is what makes it so great). This isn't the hood canal were you will find million dollar homes. We had 6 adults, 2 infants and 1 small dog. Plenty of room for all of us. We were out hiking and exploring all day so we didn't sit around but still plenty of room. The house was clean, good linens, comfortable bed... We had a great time and would recommend the place to friends. Plenty of room to park your boat or for that matter boats if you trailer them out there with you. Plenty of launches near by. Bring camping chairs for the fire pit or to chill outside. There are a couple of adirondack chairs on the front porch but nothing out back. If you forget anything there is a large Thriftway and Ace 12 miles away in Forks.

  Owner response: Glad you had such a great time! The Olympic peninsula is a special place and it sounds like you made the most of your stay! Maybe you can make it back another time to explore even more!
