Nestled beside the Bogachiel River, our property offers an unparalleled connection with the great outdoors. The centerpiece of our space is the stunning view from the living room. This vista down the river will take your breath away and leave you feeling truly in touch with the beauty of nature.

One of our newest and most-loved additions is the private hot tub overlooking the river. Whether you’re soaking after a long day exploring Olympic National Park or enjoying a quiet, misty morning, the hot tub offers a front-row seat to the sights and sounds of the Bogachiel. The Covana Oasis cover allows you to relax comfortably in any weather—rain or shine.

With four bedrooms, River's Edge can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests. Three of the bedrooms feature king-size beds, ensuring a restful night's sleep, while the fourth bedroom boasts twin bunk beds, perfect for families or groups.

For extra flexibility, the living room is equipped with a pullout sleeper, adding space for even more guests. In addition to the comfortable seating and the mesmerizing river view, the living room features a poker table, providing an ideal setting for entertaining and games.

Adjacent to the living room, there's a separate nook featuring a dining table that can be easily transformed into either a ping pong or pool table. This multifunctional space ensures hours of fun and extra dining space when needed.

On cooler evenings, the living room's pellet stove adds warmth and ambiance, allowing you to relax by the open flame as you gaze out at the river. Our fully stocked kitchen provides everything you need to prepare a delicious meal during your stay, whether you're cooking for a family or a larger group.

For those cozy Forks rain days, we offer a curated selection of books so you can unplug, unwind, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the private river access—step right off the back porch and into one of the Olympic Peninsula’s most renowned salmon and steelhead rivers for a truly unforgettable fishing experience.

And for added peace of mind, River’s Edge is equipped with a 26 kW Generac whole-house backup generator. Power outages can occur in Forks, particularly during winter storms, but here you’ll enjoy uninterrupted heat, lights, hot water, and Wi-Fi—an uncommon but highly valued feature among vacation rentals in the area.

River's Edge is more than just a place to stay—it's a retreat where nature, comfort, and unforgettable moments come together. We can’t wait to welcome you to the river and help you create lasting memories in one of the most beautiful corners of Washington

The property was perfect! Great size for our 8 people. Quiet, great river view with bald eagles fishing and bathing in it. Pellet stove kept it warm and cozy. Plenty of storage and prep space in the kitchen. Owner was also very quick to respond to questions. We had a plumbing issue on Christmas Eve of all times and it was fixed very promptly. Would definitely recommend!

Rivers Edge is an absolute perfect home base to enjoy the Pacific Northwest. Secluded but very near Forks for groceries and restaurants. Close drive to the various Olympic park must sees and some incredible beaches. The home is very comfortable for family use ( we have two teenagers). 10 out of 10 we are returning!

The place had everything one could need and was extremely clean. We had a rainy weekend but enjoyed our time due to a combination pool and ping pong table, a game table that allowed us to work a puzzle, which was also supplied and a dining table where we were able to play games. No matter what we were doing we had the most beautiful view of the river from the large windows. We even had a herd of elk wander through the backyard on our 2nd day!Our host sent a welcoming email and made sure we knew he was available if we needed anything. If in the area again, I would definitely stay here!

We had a wonderful stay! We spent most of our time inside the national park but it was a lovely house to come back to after a busy day. Bedrooms were great, the kitchen was incredibly well stocked, and the ping pong table/pool table was such a hit.

We had a fantastic stay at River's Edge! Great location, and the house was perfect in every way. Plenty of room for our party of 6--we had a great time playing ping pong and cards as a group. The kitchen and coffee amenities were awesome--thank you! What a difference it makes to have the coffee and tea supplies stocked. We had coffee and tea every morning on the lovely deck overlooking the river--it was absolutely beautiful. We would recommend River's Edge to anyone traveling to the area!!

Fantastic house and surroundings

The property was amazing. It was well equipped with all we needed for our party of 9. The kids enjoyed the pool/ping pong table and the kitchen had everything we needed. The check-in and check-out process went extremely smoothly. We’d definitely recommend this place to other families with teenage kids.

River’s Edge is such a beautiful house & property. We were all so impressed with how well the house was fitted out with great cookware (we made dinner & breakfast there), nice amenities, and impressive attention to details. The property is well groomed & we enjoyed the fire pit. Some of our party really enjoyed walking along the river. So beautiful.

Prime Central Location if Exploring Olympic National Park

The property is in a perfect location if you want to hit the hot spots in Olympic National Park. We had our 3 generation family from Kansas, Texas, Utah, and Arizona stay in the property. Our ages were from 4 to 64. The location was perfect for our visits to Lake Crescent, Marymere Falls, 3rd Beach, Hoh Rain Forest, Rialto Beach, Sol Duc Falls, and Ruby Beach. We prepared breakfast at the house and packed lunches for our Park adventures. Evenings were spent back at the house where we had all we needed to prepare our meals. Everyone loved playing ping pong and cards in the evening. They also have a very nice Cornhole Set which we enjoyed. We flew into Seattle and hit the Aquarium and Fish Market before traveling to the house. On our return trip to Seattle we visited the Space Needle. A grocery store is within 5 minutes of the house so we visited it often. I highly recommend staying at this property.

Cabin was a destination on its own!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! The property was well-maintained and well-stocked. Host communication was very speedy. The coffee bar options were a nice unexpected treat. We so appreciated the privacy of this rental. It was a luxury to have views of the creek and river without seeing any other houses. I actually didn't want to leave the rental to sight-see as being on the property felt like a vacation on its own! The grocery store and restaurants in Forks were very close in case you didn't bring all the food you needed for the trip. Definitely will stay here again if we ever plan another trip to the area!

The outside of the house, along with the carport and garage, looked a bit plain, but the inside was gorgeous. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and dishes and there was a good selection of teas and actually a supply of coffee (though we brought our own coffee). The bedrooms were clean and made up. The living room/family room was very comfortable.Monday morning (9/15) there was an area wide power outage. We located the breaker panel and found there was a coupled switch which would connect to either Utility or Generator. We switched to Generator, but nothing happened. Is there a generator on the premises which would have to be manually started? We realized the water must be pumped in because we lost all water as well. No worries as the power came back in about an hour.Some other nit-picky things, we assumed that just flipping down the bar on the ice maker would start the making of ice, but no ice was made. We heard some humming that may be the water valve opening, but no water filled the ice maker. There is a propane heater in the kitchen, but the switch was left ON and there was no propane left in the canister.We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this unit to anybody else wanting to stay in Forks, WA. We'll certainly keep this rental in mind if we ever come back to Olympic National Park.
Leaving Tuesday morning, I came across a herd of elk grazing in front of the garage. They moved away before I got my camera out.
A little zoom in to the elk herd.

Spacious and beautiful

My family and I had everything provided for our comfort and enjoyment at this rental. My grandsons loved the pool table and ping pong and nearby elk. The kitchen was full of appliances and full sets of pans and dishes. Everything was very clean and the bedrooms and bathrooms were outstanding. There were thoughtful touches like local guide books, cook books and spices. The only minor disappointment was the lack of easy river access due to the high bank. There is covered space for unloading your car and covered outdoor seating. This home is thoughtfully laid out, close to town for groceries and perfectly located to take excursions to the rain forest and to the coast.

Big, comfortable, great location and view

Was here with family, and the size is perfect for that. Plenty of bedrooms, and space to spread out. I didn't think we'd use the poker table, but it's really great for playing games. The place has everything you need, and great books about the area. The interior is just like the pictures - exactly what you want for a cabin in the woods. We were there in November, so it got dark early and we didn't get as much time to enjoy the view of the river, but it is really special. The windows and orientation of the house highlight it. I can imagine during the longer days it's amazing. We were lucky to see a herd of elk walk by the house though. We used it as a base for going to Hoh Rain Forest, and this was a perfect location. When we get back for a visit to the park in warmer longer days, this will be the place we stay again.
