Om boendet

Welcome to the Elk House! 4 Private Acres/Close to Hiking and Lake Quinault!

The Elk House is the Quinault Rain Forest's best kept secret and we are back in business! This 2 bedroom, 2 bath open-concept home was built in 2006 and sits on 4 acres of private land for you to enjoy and explore. It's hard to decide where the yard ends and nature begins. Barbeque on the 280 sq. ft. covered porch and watch for Roosevelt Elk that often graze in the front field, sometimes as close as 30 feet from the house! Get cozy next to the gas fireplace under 17 foot vaulted ceilings and watch for bald eagle, black-tail deer and great blue heron--regular visitors of the property. Enjoy the outdoor fire pit area and stargaze on clear summer nights. Explore nearby Zeigler Creek, picnic under a giant Maple tree and take leisurely walks around the property. The Elk House property is tranquility at it's best!

If you want to venture out, drive, bike or walk the South Shore Road and discover nearby hiking trails, explore the World's Largest Spruce Tree, visit the famous glacier-fed Lake Quinault, or jump in your car or take a guided tour of the 31 mile loop drive into the Olympic National Park to see spectacular waterfalls, giant evergreen trees and wildlife. Whether you are here to experience outdoor recreation or just get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, the Elk House is the perfect place for you to rest and rejuvenate.

While staying at the Elk House you will enjoy all the comforts of home. A fully functional kitchen with double convection oven and gas cook top, full-size built-in microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator allows you to enjoy family dining in a private and pristine setting. The open-concept kitchen/dining room/living room creates a family atmosphere that can't be beat! Take refuge in the 350 sq. ft. open loft with a large picture window or in the private suite on the main floor.

The Elk House was built with the outdoor enthusiast and family in mind. Everywhere you look, nature abounds. Make your next memory in Lake Quinault at the Elk House!

Lovely Home

Even nicer than it looked online. Very private, large yard. Very comfortable for two couples. It would have been nice to have tables or luggage racks in the loft, since we only stayed a few days, we didn't want to unpack, even though there is lots of closet space. We would stay there again.

Beautiful peaceful stay

Picturesque well maintained property in a quiet location with a lot to do around. We loved coming back and relaxing after hiking around the area- which has a lot of options which are all uncrowded and lovely. Was perfect for our family of 5. Internet service was plenty fast even for streaming. No cell signal on Verizon but you can drive 2 miles down the road if you need it.

Peaceful retreat

We really enjoyed the incredible views and comfortable space at the Elk House! Wish we would have gotten to see some elk but loved the yard nonetheless. Very quick access to the Quinalt area activities. Ample kitchen space and comfortable beds. The home needs smoke detectors installed and could use some blinds upstairs, but otherwise we have no complaints!

Clean and spacious with a beautiful view

We loved the serene setting and the opportunity to watch elk graze right on the property. Wish the seating on the porch had been more comfortable. Dishwasher was not working which is a small thing.

Nice Getaway at the Elk House

We enjoyed our stay at the Elk House and would come back again. It’s a great house and such a peaceful area. We didn’t see any elk, sadly, but enjoyed spending mornings and evenings on the porch. The WiFi worked great, and we were able to stream on the TV. The house is in a great area - easy drives to Lake Quinault, hiking, and more! The “grocery stores” near by are small so if you’re coming from a larger area it may be worth bringing groceries with you. A few things to note for future guests - there is a keurig but no kcups were provided so bring your own; same goes for coffee pot/coffee. We couldn’t figure out the air conditioning and there were no instructions to be found; it wasn’t that warm so I didn’t feel the need to reach out to the hosts about it, but something to note if you’ll be going in peak summer time. We hope to visit the area again in the future and would love to stay at Elk House again!

Nice house located in a field, off the beaten path of Quinault. Peaceful and quiet. Enjoyed sitting on the porch. Saw the herd of elk early one morning. The TV and dishwater were not working.

Appropriately named

We saw a herd of 15 elk on the morning of our departure. What a treat! The place is perfect for a small family or 2 couples. It’s out away from traffic and noise. The tv is a large screen set with Direct Tv channels. My only suggestion is that the grill is in need of upgrading. We used it anyway but it’s showing it’s age and usage. This is our second time here and we’d return again as it’s near some of our favorite hikes.

Wide open spaces

Peaceful quiet wide meadow behind this bright and open house. Close to Quinault Lodge and Olympic NP. Owner was very responsive to our call about grill issues. We would suggest that the kitchen be a bit more stocked With spices and paper products like baggies and aluminum foil . The porch needs comfortable seating, 4 rockers to sit and view the property would be a great addition! Overall A great getaway.

Gorgeous place to eacape the daily hustle

We were excited right from the time of booking this property. We reached late in night and were greeted by an astounding view of the 'milky way' from the property. Amenities were all good as mentioned in the description. Thankfully the weather was great during our remainder of the stay. So much to explore around as well. Already recommended to my family and friends.

Mike and Hollie Nelson (Owners) är värd

Mike was born in Alaska and spent most of his childhood exploring the outdoors and spending time with his family and friends. He moved to Washington in 1996 and has lived in the Grays Harbor area ever since where he currently works in the road maintenance and construction business and for a local school district.

Hollie was born and raised in Lake Quinault, graduated from Washington State University and married Mike in 2001.She taught for 12 years as a school teacher and now works as an Early Childhood Coordinator for a local school district

Originally, Mike and Hollie designed the Elk House for a family of three with their daughter's special medical needs in mind. However, the family simply outgrew the indoor living space as their family increased in size. The Nelsons now have 4 daughters and a son ages 12, 7, 6 and 5 year-old twins. The Nelsons also provide foster care for children in need and have a licensed foster home in the area.

The Nelson's are active in their children's school, church and community. They have a passion for serving others and feel privileged to share the home they have made so many memories in, with others. We hope you enjoy your stay at the Elk House!

Varför värden valde detta boende

Mike and Hollie built the Elk House in 2006. The surroundings were perfect as the property borders the land that she grew up on as a child. Ziegler Creek, that borders the property was the creek she played in as a child during the summer months. The surrounding fields are where she spent most of her spare time riding horses, quads, hunting, fishing and hiking. Owning the Elk House Property, adjacent to where she made her childhood memories, was a dream come true for both Mike and Hollie. It has been such a blessing to make similar memories with our children and to know that others will do the same.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

When the house was built in 2006, we were amazed at the amount of wildlife in our 'front yard.' When local salmon are spawning, bald eagle sightings are a daily occurrence. Great Blue Heron spend ample time at Zeigler Creek and it's soul soothing to hear the sounds of birds singing on a spring or summer morning while you drink a cup of coffee on the covered front porch. An occasional sighting of Black-tail deer and coyote, and the rare, but majestic passing-through of a bobcat or black bear remind us that we are in the heart of the Quinault Rain Forest.

All of the local wildlife are are fascinating to watch from the large and expansive windows in the home! However, our most frequent visitors are the famous Roosevelt Elk. When we thought about what we should name our home as a vacation rental, Mike asked, 'What's the first thing you think about when you think of this home and our property?' The answers was clear---Roosevelt Elk. And so, our home suddenly had a name--The Elk House. Herds as large as 50 elk graze comfortably on the property on a regular basis. The only boundary they seem to sense is a 20 foot perimeter around the house. Needless to say, we get the most amazing view on earth when they visit! You may hear elk bugling back and forth, witness the bulls 'fighting', Cows (female elk) nursing their calves, and enjoy the entire herd grazing and even playing right in front of your eyes. There are very few opportunities to view this magnificent animal so up close and personal in a home setting. Don't forget to bring your camera!
