  Driving up to the property took our breath away! A wonderful log lodge overlooking a serene meadow. We were greeted by deer grazing in our front yard. 8 ladies in our group (one a furry canine) and plenty of bedrooms and baths to accommodate! Great kitchen, living room, and game room for those gal gathering times! Warm, cozy, and meditative surroundings...great places for "alone" time. Plenty of walking trails including the Olympic Discovery trail (fabulous) and only 15 minutes from our vacation home. Very close to Sequim for our walks and yummy breakfast at The Oak Table Cafe...farmers markets, farm tours, farm store for fresh veggies, and fresh seafood to purchase. Beyond description....a wonderful gathering place!

  We booked this place for my 50th Birthday with a group of friends. The lodge is just plain awesome. If we could, we would move in. It is beautiful and comfortable for a sizable group. It is well decorated and completely functional. The hot tub was a nice addition and the large dining room table was great for board games and meals. All in all, this place made for a memorable experience.

  The description and photos of this lodge only begin to tell the story of what a wonderful place it is. Also, you couldn't work with better people than the owners of Call of the Wild. Following the passing of my 98 year old mother and our family's desire to gather and retreat after her memorial service, I called around to see if we could find a place that could house 19 people. Fortunately, I found Call of the Wild Lodge. We were coming from four different states, hadn't been together in years and needed a place big enough were the adults and the little ones had room to spread out, along with having a large place for family meals and smaller places for games and visiting. This place had it all. We made lifetime memories over those three days and two nights while preparing our meals in the open kitchen and being around the dining table that seated fifteen of us. We found the perfect place to reminisce about our beloved mother and laugh and enjoy each other's company. It felt magical sitting inside this big log lodge with all of its personality, and being outside with the trees around us and looking out to the water. Of course, the exceptional weather didn't hurt at all! This property is special, with special people who own it. I have already recommended it to my friends and have sent out the link to the website so people can see the pictures. But as I said at the beginning....the pictures only begin to tell the story.

  My family just left the beautiful Call of the Wild Lodge in Sequim, Wa. I truly cannot say enough good things about this wonderful place! From the drive in with the beautiful welcome sign to all the small finishing touches in the home- we were all in awe. The lodge was very spacious and the rustic charm was very fun and inviting. We all loved sitting around the large dining room table for dinner and preparing meals in the Coca-Cola themed kitchen. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. We all had a blast downstairs watching movies on the flat screen TV while sitting on barstools topped with different types of saddles- what a clever idea! The game room/ garage was great for our late nights with a card table, foosball, ping pong, you name it… The deck was one of our favorite places to be overlooking the Straight of Juan de Fuca. We shared a bottle of wine and a birthday cake for my husband that Martha had left for us since she knew we would be celebrating my husband’s 50th , It was a very thoughtful surprise and something we did not expect from the owner. Martha, who owns Call of the Wild Lodge, was wonderful to work with and made our trip to Sequim fantastic. She shared all her favorite places and things to do so there was never a dull moment. We loved hiking on the trails just down the street, biking down the country road (bikes were also included!), and soaking in the big hot tub beside a small pond to top of several fun packed days and nights. We had a wonderful time here and our only regret is that we didn’t book the Log Lodge longer…! From the beautiful big home, to the acres of green pasture, the amenities, and the location, we know where we will be headed next year!! Although, the BEST thing this stunning property offered? That all the profits from this home went to rescued animals and Martha’s homeless animal farm (which we hope to visit next time we book the Lodge!).

  This house is situated on a huge piece of beautiful property and was spacious enough to accomodate 8 of my family with room to spare. The drive into town was easy and the road leading out was just gorgeous. My issue is that the house is falling apart and that nothing is really as it described. Wireless Internet is advertised, but is slow and intermittent. I had work to do on my vacation and the internet kept cutting out making it extremely difficult to complete tasks for my clients. We couldn't even watch low resolution youtube videos with any success. DVD players are advertised, but the one upstairs kept freezing and the one downstairs refused to play more than half of the DVDs we brought. We had to resort to watching older movies on the VCR since it's the only thing that would play with any success. Zip Line was advertised, but it was broken. Basketball was advertised, but it was broken. Ping Pong was advertised, but it was broken. Foosball advertised, but there was no ball. I also found it quite silly that a house designed for large groups didn't have a single large soup pot. It was difficult to prepare stove-top meals for the 8 of us. Most bathroom doors didn't have locks on them. The shower upstairs didn't have cold water making it unusable. We were happy to have warm beds, fresh towels, and a stunning view. We were also happy to be close to the Olympic National Forest, but this place has taught me to second guess good reviews and to investigate a property a lot more before renting.

  Owner response: My name is Martha. i own, operate, run and clean The Call of the Wild Lodge with my daughter. We have poured our hearts into this beautiful lodge and property. We have spent countless hours here working as we love to do making this one of the most special places on this earth for our guests. When we entered this home after this group departed we were "horrified". I mean just plain sick to our stomachs. The beautiful lodge was filthy...the floors looked like someone had just taken a load of sticky slimy film all over. The amount of dirt, food debris and other assorted matter to clean was really something. The linens had been torn apart, furniture moved and more...we had to call in back up cleaners and this took us many many extra hours to clean up the mess. The total disrespect of these folks was beyond anything i have ever encountered. We left everything in our beautiful lodge in working order before these guests arrived The vcr's, the ping pong table, the foosball table with foosball's in it, air hockey, basket ball hoop and more....all working fine before their arrival. The internet was tested before and after their visit. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. My phone #'s are posted in The Lodge for anyone to call at any time with any questions. We are always happy to help. This group did not call me even once, or even try to call. If they had I would have been pleased to assist in ay way that I could. I suspect that i was not called because they did not want me to come by the lodge and see the shape it was in with their group. I have an extensive background in the insurance world. I have spent twenty years looking at homes and rating them for insurance purposes. This log lodge is far above outstanding condition inside and out which I rarely ever rate a structure. My son the engineer just laughed at their remark made...which is a bold face lie and will not be tolerated. I have been lucky enough to have the best guests ever...i have ran vacation rentals for many years and I have made some of my truly best friends through these rentals. I am also lucky enough to have traveled most of the world and stayed in the finest places. The Call of the Wild Lodge is still the best place I have ever been or stayed at..If you can't have a wonderful time at our lodge then i am not sure where you can.

  This house is fully stocked with everything you need. We didnt have to bring anything but food for the weekend! Full Kitchen with untensils, pans, and grilling gear was very very useful! I loved that all the beds where very comfy and had comforters. The master bathroom had a bunch of towels, all clean! The fall decor also really go to me! I really want to come back here! Hopefully my friends and I can do this again.

  Our family spent several days at the lodge (June 15-18, 2012) in preparation for and following our daughter's wedding at the Cutting Garden in Sequim. It was absolutely wonderful to enjoy the spacious, beautifully furnished and uniquely decorated surroundings. The advertised amenities cannot fully prepare you for the reality of the experience. The well-equipped gourmet kitchen accommodated all of our needs and the deck made a great socializing spot for viewing the deer that frequent the property. The hot tub was a big hit for de-stressing after days filled with activity. The fireplace was a welcomed treat after the chilling winds that greeted us during part of the outdoor reception at the wedding venue. Whether fog-shrouded or sunshine -drenched, the scenery is amazing and tranquil. The private setting, yet convenience to town is especially attractive. This is much more than comfortable accommodations; the warmth that greeted us at the door, the beautiful rustic design and country appeal made this truly a home away from home. The wineries were a nice escape, and we enjoyed the drive to Neah Bay and hiking the Cape Flattery trail to the western-most point of the contiguous United States. We will certainly stay here again if travels find us back in the area. Having helped run a family outfitting business in Montana for many years, I realize it is word of mouth advertising and returning customers that say the most about the success of your efforts. Thank you to the owners for all that they do to make this experience possible.

  Every January, my girlfriends and I choose a fun rental house for a long weekend. We were intrigued by this lodge and were even more impressed when we arrived :) Every room had it's own unique charm and there was plenty of room for our group of 8. The beds were very comfortable (mine was like sleeping on a cloud!), the view beautiful, the hot tub relaxing, and the Coco Cola collection fun to look at. The lodge was well stocked with everything we needed and Martha was great to work with! This is the perfect place for large groups, multiple families, disabled guests (large doors on entry level to bedrooms and bathroom), and anyone who wants to get away to a beautiful, relaxing location. We were definitely not ready to leave after 3 nights....

  I was stunned as I entered the kitchen area and saw all the beautiful green wood cabinets and sparkling appliances. I could not pull myselft away to look at the rest of the lodge for fifteen minutes. The lodge is awesome, beautiful, and cozy. My family and I enjoyed three nights four days celebrating in the hot tub, game room, kitchen and in front of a roaring fire. I chose this lodge because of the space (I needed to sleep 22 people) and the dining table ( I wanted everyone to enjoy sitting down together to eat). I will never forget our time together. I brought my I-pod and Boze speaker and we enjoyed the music of three generations. I cried when it was time to leave. My last moments were photos of us on the saddle bar stools with cowboy hats on (from the fireplace mantel) with smiles on our faces. If you get a chance to experience this unique canadian spuce lodge, you will never forget it.

  We have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals over the years and this lodge was easily the nicest place we've stayed at. It was as if someone said to me pick everything you'd want in a vacation home and then created it for me. The home is simply amazing and managed to make us feel like we were royalty and yet completely at home at the same time. The decor there is unbelievable and we could have stayed a week and still have been excited and discovering new things. The owner has put a lot of personal touches into the place. The home is very clean and smells fresh. The murals painted on the wall were surreal. There is so much to do there too...play basketball, foosball, air hockey, ride bikes, take walks around the property and trail, bbq, read in front of the fire, play games, relax on the deck and watch ships passing or the lighthouse. The (completely private) hot tub was the best we've ever been in with a foot massager that felt amazing! It also has an awesome jacuzzi tub in the master suite and a claw foot tub in another bedroom. No shortage of relaxation opportunities! It was the perfect location, so close to town in miles, yet felt like a world away with the solitude, the fresh air and the sounds of nature. I had a hummingbird fly right up to my face on the deck, deer pass through the meadow, so many birds around. I heard cows and horses in the distance. The kitchen was huge and had an abundance of cookware, appliances, utensils, etc. It even has a window seat so you can sit and look out over the water. One of the best things for me was seeing my dogs have such a fun time there! They had so much room outside to run around and explore and for us to play fetch with them. We even found dog treats for them in the pantry! It was hard to leave, but I hope to get back and experience it again. We live in Sequim and if we have anyone ask us where they should stay, this will be my first recommendation.
