Every Christmas our family stays at a house/cabin near the mountains. We snowshoe and enjoy the company. What this means is that we have stayed at a lot of vacation homes. Simply put, the Olympic Foothills Lodge is by far the best of the lot. Everything about it is welcoming, from the pre-cut firewood for the stove, to the description of where things are in the kitchen, to the very gracious and thoughtful instructions on what is expected in cleaning up. I especially appreciated the very comfortable beds and the cleanliness of the outdoor grill (a weakness at many cabins.)
But I have to mention that the thought that has gone into the safety of the guests is absolutely outstanding. There are instructions for every event, flashlights and extra batteries almost everywhere in case the electricity goes out, a backup generator. There is even extra cut firewood in the garage, a thoughtful touch, but a significant contribution to safety. It is not surprising that an owner who cares this much about the safety of his guests has put so much attention into making their stay fun and comfortable.

Owner's Response: Thanks for your review. I'm glad your stay at the Lodge exceeded your expectations. I have also stayed in many vacation places over the years and have made mental notes about all the things that bugged me during those stays, so as I planned and and then built the Lodge I applied what I have learned. It's one thing to stay in a Motel where if you need something you can call the front desk but when renting a house, you are mostly on your own. Just the thought of something going wrong can begin eroding the relaxed atmosphere you were looking for by renting a place all to yourself. Again, thanks for confirming that we have done a good job of making you feel safe during your stay.
