About this property

Hoh Chalet A cozy cabin on the Olympic Peninsula

The Hoh Chalet is a cozy cabin located on the Olympic Peninsula in the Hoh River Basin. It is heated with a woodstove and has spiral stairs to get up to both bedrooms. Pictures of stairs are in additional photos in this listing.

The space
The Chalet is a small cabin, just 400 sq ft per floor. It is an independant home and is powered by solar energy. The inside is DIY finished with repurposed materials. Only the appliances are new.
This two-story cabin has 2 bedrooms upstairs with a double bed in each, no doors, and a desk in the hall. The entry level has a kitchenette, bathroom, dining area and common area with a hide-a-bed in the sitting room. It is heated with a woodstove; firewood, cable TV, and Wi-Fi are provided.

Guest access
There is plenty of parking, with a carport for smaller vehicles. You are welcome to walk down the road, and tour our property. We have a berry farm and U-Pick berries starting in late June as well as a grocery garden, and a path through our wooded area. A large communal fire pit is located behind our retail shack where Hoh Made Jam, Native Hoh River Smoked Salmon, and local arts and crafts are available.
Other things to note
Access to the upper floor is via a spiral staircase. If you have small children or do not do stairs easily, this may not be for you.
Pets are allowed, but they may not be left unattended.

Rustic, but wonderful during the storm--great sleep! Struggled a bit with the fire and the shower, but host came to help. Off-grid, if that's your vibe. Quirky and fun. Great location for exploring the Hoh area.

Appreciated having the kitchen. So enjoyed the chanterelles and smoked salmon we purchased in the “Jam Shack.” Delicious!The location was great for visits to Ruby Beach and the Hoh Rain Forest. Loved Diane’s creativity in her work on the chalet—up cycled materials used including the mosaic tile work in the bathroom & the fabulous wood stove made from water main pipe. The chalet was indeed cozy—thank you Diane. Quintessential PNW stay

This was a round of firsts for my husband and I. First time using VRBO, first time away in Washington, first visit to the area. The chalet was exactly as stated in the listing. It was really cute and peaceful. The perfect little getaway for the weekend. Good location to a lot of sights. We came for the beaches, and it was a nice short drive. Diane was a great host and very helpful. She did great with the chalet. Honestly, the bathroom floor was probably my favorite part of the entire place.

Once upstairs, bedrooms roomy and comfortable. Lovely reclaimed wood countertops and base. A bit dark inside for old eyes and shower temperature a bit difficult to control. Great location to Ruby beach and Hoh rainforest.

This is a unique property and one of the few available in this area with easy access to Olympics hiking trails. I salute the owner for her work to create this cabin using recycled, repurposed and natural items. The use of solar and wood-fired heating are so suitable for this natural oasis. The on-demand water heater was a surprisingly modern element. We appreciated the huge dispenser of bottled spring water. Owner Dianne greeted us upon arrival and even offered to share a salmon caught by la local tribal fisherman.

Adorable small house, quaint like a hobbit house, reflecting host Diane’s creativity and innovation. The stairs are steep and small and curve which may be an issue for those with mobility issues. The gardens are magazine worthy and beautiful surrounding the house with the lovely sound of a small pond with koi (or large goldfish?). Diane is an ideal host - friendly and helpful. Thank you for a memorable stay!
