La Push Ocean Park Resort Located right on the sands of First Beach on
the Quileute Indian Reservation, this rustic resort has a very wide range of
accommodations. There are utterly basic cabins that don't even have hot water,
but there are also new deluxe oceanfront cabins that are the best rooms anywhere
on this stretch of coast. These cabins have whirlpool tubs, walls of glass, lots of
cedar accents, full kitchens, and carved wood furniture with Northwest Coast
Native American designs. It is these latter cabins that make this place worth rec-
ommending. Other older units are passable at best and are most popular with
surfers and fishermen.

Manitou Lodge This secluded B&B is set on 10 private acres and is only
minutes from some of the most beautiful and remote beaches in the Northwest.
The best room in the house is the Sacagawea, which has a fireplace and king-size
bed. A separate cabin houses two of the rooms. Guests tend to gravitate to the
comfortable living room, where a huge stone fireplace is the center of attention
(fires help chase away the chill and damp of this rainy corner of the Olympic
Peninsula). Breakfasts are hearty, although you can also opt for a discounted light
breakfast. The innkeepers also operate both a coffeehouse and a gift shop/art
gallery in downtown Forks. The gallery specializes in Native American crafts and
local artwork.

Miller Tree Inn Located just a few blocks east of downtown Forks, this
large farmhouse B&B is surrounded by pastures and large old trees. With its
classic styling, it feels very civilized compared to the wilds of the Olympic Penin-
sula and is a welcome sight at the end of the long drive out to Forks. Best of all,
there are rooms with jetted tubs and fireplaces. One room also has a kitchenette
(a definite bonus out in this neck of the woods). There's nothing fussy or pre-
tentious about this place—just a comfortable, friendly inn that caters primarily
to outdoors enthusiasts. At the end of a long day of hiking, the hot tub on the
back deck is very welcome.

Olympic Suites Inn Located just off U.S. 101 at the north end of Forks
and set back in the forest a bit, this modern motel is your best bet in the area if
you don't want to stay at a B&B. The motel has the look and feel of an apart-
ment complex, and most of the rooms are suites with full kitchens. The Calawah
River and a boat ramp are just downhill from the motel, and some rooms have
limited river views. Other rooms look into the forest.
