A sort of motel
meets mountain lodge, the River Inn is handily positioned on US 101 next to the eating
and gas facilities at Amanda Park. Its position on the Quinault River makes it popular
with crack-of-dawn-waking fishers. Rooms are warm and well maintained, with decent-
size beds and copious TV channels. Bonuses include a small gym, attractive cedar decor
and extrafriendly service.
There are also some RV sites ($27).

; 345 S Shore Rd; r $202-305; )
Everything you could want in a historic national park lodge and more, the suspended-in-
time 'Quinault' has a massive fireplace, peek-a-boo lake views, a manicured cricket-
pitch-quality lawn, huge, comfy leather sofas, a regal reception area and a dignified lake-
view (in daylight hours at least) restaurant serving upscale American cuisine. Trails into
primeval forest leave from just outside the door.
In all it's a more posh and cozy version of the holiday lodge featured in
Dirty Dan-
cing
. Built in 1926, the Quinault's warmth and character are no secret and reservations
are recommended. Rates drop by about 40% in low season.
