What guests think

At Kalaloch Lodge, guests consistently praise the dramatic oceanfront setting, cozy rustic cabins with wood stoves, and friendly staff, while noting trade-offs like limited in-room connectivity, dated elements, and intermittent beach-stair closures after storm damage.

Many love the views, beach proximity and quiet setting within Olympic National Park, but the remote location means few nearby services. Cleanliness is usually good yet occasionally inconsistent, and some interiors feel worn or need maintenance; downstairs rooms can pick up noise from above. The on-site restaurant is convenient and often tasty, though hours, menu breadth, and wait times can be limited, with prices above average. Expect a scenic, unplugged, rustic stay focused on nature more than polish.

The cabin we stayed in was clean, we had a fireplace, small kitchen, and overall it was very spacious, could have slept 5 people(2 beds and a futon). The lodge sits right on a bluff overlooking the ocean and the whole property is very peaceful and serene. Unfortunately the steps down to the beach at the lodge were not accessible but a short walk to the campground(10min) and you’re able to access the beach. The restaurant offered breakfast and dinner, we did enjoy dinner one night and it was amazing! All the staff we came into contact with were super friendly and helpful. Be prepared if you are one who is attached to your phone or a tv as there’s no tv or wifi available in the cabins. There is wifi available in the main lodge though. Definitely recommend staying here and look forward to visiting again.

Everything was great about this property. Only thing that was broken was the stairs down to the beach, which was recently damaged by the King Tide, which i get is out of their control.

We stayed at a unit in the seacrest building in April, 2024. We had a wonderful stay and the photos online don't do justice to our unit. It was much nicer than we expected it to be, with a balcony and beautiful views of the ocean. The staircase to the ocean has been blown out by storms and so in order for you to actually get down to the beach you need to walk along the highway for a short distance, down through the campgrounds before you can access the beach. We were given a map of check-in which showed the original way to access the beach, but we're not told that it had been blown out by a storm. That would have been good information for the front desk to have given us. We had a wonderful time and we'll be back again!

We enjoyed our time in the semi rustic cabin. It was comfortable and views were awesome of the ocean. Sadly no beach access right at the lodge, however acces is available at the campground at short walk or drive up the road.The mercantile was excellent, and the food at the restaurant was tasty.

Check in was quick and everyone was extremely nice to us. Pillows were comfy, and the room was clean. I loved how we had a balcony with a view of the ocean. There’s WiFi, but only at the restaurant/gift shop. Beach access is restricted right now after the big storm they had, but you can drive to other beaches down to road if you really want to go to the beach. Great place to stay, I’ll be coming back in the future!

This is the "Get-Away" property for those seeking real away-ness. Readily accessible yet without cellular coverage, television, video games. Rooms are comfortable and modernized (stayed in Seacrest Lodge) with nearby access to beach. Be aware that access to beach requires several flights of rustic stairs to beach level but sturdy and secure. Dining in main lodge is suitable to setting, staffing is responsive but as with most facilities is understaffed. Good food and view setting. Staff throughout was courteous and helpful albeit understaffed.

Older cabins but adequate accommodations. The location to the ocean is beautiful but access to the beach is limited due to broken fences, stairs and erosion. Not appropriate for smaller children or those with limited mobility. No early arrival ....in fact housecleaning was still there when i arrived at the door at 4:15pm. Front desk gal didnt seem to care much. Woodstove is a great feature but no newspaper to start a fire. No tv so plan to bring a game. Nearest town/services is 30 miles away. There is a restaurant on site with a limited menu and hours...so annoyed with check in that we went to Forks for dinner. Cabins are big enough for 4 ppl.

We have stayed here before and have been pleased. This time the cabin was without a view when there were plenty unoccupied cabins available. At check in we were told it had a nice view. Even if it did have a view, the windows were so dirty we wouldn't have seen anything. The floor was dirty and sticky. I don't think we will be going back.

Wonderful, cozy, rustic cabin in a beautiful environment with adequate wood to enjoy the wood stove and a well-equipped kitchen. Could use some comfortable chairs for sitting by the wood stove (we brought in the ones from outside) and pads on the legs of the heavy, metal bar stools to prevent unpleasant sounds when they’re moved. A little more cleaning in the corners and tops of logs would improve the cleanliness score, but really a great place to stay! We especially enjoyed all of the staff!

We were very impressed with bed. The mattress and bedding appeared to be newer. We slept great! The wood stove was wonderful and it was nice to have wood provided. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the floors, however. They were extremely sticky - like maybe a child had dribbled juice all over and housekeeping hadn't mopped. The table was sticky also. We left without washing the dishes because no dish soap was provided. Another inconvenience was the food situation. We did not know thatvthe restaurant didn’t serve breakfast or lunch (it's Winter, so apparently they cut back), and dinner was take-out. The office did provide a continental breakfast (no protein at all) for $10 per person. Cereal, toast and fruit. They said they offered waffles also but we didn’t see a waffle iron. Our biggest complaint was that we were not informed that there was NO access to the beach from the cabins because a king tide had wiped out the stairs a few weeks ago. We understand that happened but it would have been nice to have had the info on the website or been informed about the inconvenience at check in. We had to drive to access the beach.

The lodge had a wonderful and convenient location but my room smelled worse than any room I've ever stayed in - like the carpet hadn't been cleaned in 50 years and it smelled like dirty feet. I never got used to the smell - it was awful.

In short, this property is a bit worn/rundown & in need of updating/upgrading…my room was clean, but smelled of stale cigarettes & the bath/shower area was quite worn/in need of repair and/or replacement…also, the room lacked basic amenities (tv or mini fridge)…exterior lighting was non-existent, which was an issue given my late arrival…In sum, this place has a monopoly for this area & thus can get away with charging over $300/night…not good value…stay if you must, but be prepared to over-pay!

The room is in major need of upgrades. The bed was awfully springy and uncomfortable. We could hear every noise above us all night and early in the morning, so sleeping was hard. The hairdryer didn’t work. The stairs leading down to the beach are broken and dangerous. The restaurant was already out of much of the menu less than hour after opening for dinner. Someone on Instagram told me to DM them privately, which I did, because I didn’t want to air my grievances publicly in the comment section. Nobody ever even answered.

Our stay was a disaster. we checked in at 2:30. We were told our room wasn't ready, but that they would start on it immediately. I was took the wait would be half an hour. I came back a half hour later and the shift had changed. The previous shift had blown us off completely, and I was told that there were two check-ins ahead of me. No apology. We didn't get into our room until 4. We have been there many time over the last 40 years and things are always a little sketchy, but I'm never going back there again. Kalaloch lodge is in the national park and run by the park service. Lots of rules, no effort to accommodate. They act like they're doing you a favor by letting you stay there.

Restaurant took almost an 1 to bring 2 salads and a entree. They do not accept cash so be wise that . The views of the property are amazing but over all my experience sleeping and staying wasn’t the best

We loved our cabin itself. The kitchen was very well-appointed and you can rent a grill. We wish we had brought more of our own food to cook because the restaurant in the lodge had very slow service with a long wait to get a table (we were just told "it will be a while" with no actual estimate) and just mediocre food. However, the only other option would have been a drive to Forks. We appreciated the little eco friendly touches like the challenges to "race the clock" and take a 5 mins or less long shower (there was an hourglass you could use mounted to the wall). My son loved the free popcorn in the lobby of the lodge and the convenience store that sells ice cream. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and look forward to going back.
