About this property

Cozy Freshwater Bay / Elwha River Cabin

*Please note that there is a 10% discount when booking for 7 nights. For longer rentals and off season reservations please contact owners.

This 1200 sq ft cabin is part of a larger property, with the main house across the street, set on the east end of Freshwater Bay, with views of the Straits and Vancouver Island to the north, and snow-capped Olympic Mountain to the south. While you can hear the waves from the cabin, you must walk to the front of the property to view the beach and watch the sunsets. The Elwha river estuary is a short walk away and is well known for surfing and kite boarding. The dam removal project is complete and the legendary native Chinook salmon have returned ( http://projects.seattletimes.com/2016/elwha/ ). Freshwater Bay Beach is now blanketed with sand from the sediment once trapped behind the dams. The Olympic National Park and surrounds are ideal for bird watching, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, crabbing and fishing. Hurricane Ridge, popular for spring and summer wildflowers, is one of the best spots in the Northwest to cross country ski, snowboard and snowshoe. In the Fall the area is abundant with wild mushrooms. The year-round Port Angeles farmer's market offers wonderful produce to complement your meal of fresh caught salmon and dungeness crab. Victoria BC is a 90 minute ferry ride from downtown Port Angeles.
The cabin is perfect for four, but can accommodate up to 5 people comfortably. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The larger bedroom has a double bed, the smaller has twin beds, and there is a futon in the living room. The kitchen is well equipped and has culinary basics (flour, oats, sugar, spices etc..). French doors open up to deck with small table and rocking chairs. Guests have access to the no-bank beach, stone grill and fire pit, which are framed by 300 year old wind blown firs. Please note that during our summer there might be county open fire restrictions (the grill may be used, but not the fire pit). We will keep you abreast of this situation. We look forward to your visit.

Perfect home base for a visit to ONP
Jean & Ricardo were wonderful hosts and the cabin is a cozy, comfortable central location for day trips into ONP and the coast. Beautiful setting, fully set up kitchen, laundry and plenty of space for our family of 4 with 2 adult sons. Short walk down to the beach, and could hear the waves from the porch while drinking our morning coffee. Perfect vacation home away from home!

A special place
We rented this retreat for its proximity to Olympic National Park. We were delighted with the charming cottage and the beach nearby. Our hosts were friendly and generous. We hope to return to spend more time here.

About the host

Hosted by Jean Fleischfresser

Host profile image
After 26 years on Bainbridge Island, we are now living full time in Port Angeles. Our children grew up snowboarding (while we snowshoed) on Hurricane Ridge and we we enjoyed camping and hiking throughout the Olympic Peninsula.

Why they chose this property

It is rare to find a no bank beach along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The Olympic National Park is an amazing treasure and it is literally in our back yard. You can walk the entire 3.8 miles of Freshwater Bay (at 5' tide or lower) and see unique rock formation and sea creature laden tide pools. Since the removal of the Elwha river dams we have a wonderful sandy beach.

What makes this property unique

You can paddle out, drop a crab pot, and a couple of hours later haul in your 'limit', boil them up and sit at the picnic table on the beach enjoying your uniquely Northwest meal.
