Diane was awesome and super nice, she was very informational about all the areas we wanted to visit

This was a home away from home, the wood heat was the best!!! I loved the live edge counters and cozy feel of the place, and we loved the raw honey and jams that were accessible to us as well, we will definitely be returning this fall for berry picking

Quiet and calm little house

Stay at the Hoh Chalet was lovely. The space was very clean and when we needed something for dishes, Diane provided it quickly. The stairs going upstairs are very narrow and the hand rails were rickety and wobbly.The wood stove warmed pretty well but we literally had to stay on it nearly non stop to keep the house warm. We woke up freezing both days as it was in the 30s outside and smowing. I would stay here again in the summer for sure The wood stive worked

Rustic, cozy yet self-sustaining!

I love how quirky it is, nestled in all the beauty that is the Hoh. It's clean, thoughtfully put together (has conveniences for dogs), cozy and just cool. If folk art is a house, this is it. Host is also very kind. Hoping to stay there again soon!

Perfect location to Ruby Beach

The place worked out well for me and my dogs. But it is a bit spartan. The weather was cold and the only heat is from the fireplace. Difficult to keep the room warm but enjoyed the experience. Host very kind

Cozy Cabin

We had a wonderful stay. The place is so unique as mentioned in the description is a DIY. The wood fireplace kept us warm despite the freezing outdoor temperatures. The house was well stocked and the location is great! Diane was a welcoming host and had a fire going for us when we arrived. We would love to stay again.

Cozy and quirky

Had a wonderful stay. Low water pressure is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars, and the owner mentioned she is working on getting that resolved. Bedrooms are actually a loft with an attached room (no doors). We didn't realize that from the listing, so just figured I'd mention it.

Hoh River Chalet

Despite high wind warnings and heavy rain for the coast during our stay, the cabin stayed warm, dry, and comfortable. The spiral staircase up to the second floor was a little steep for us but the fold out bed on the first floor was great.

Magical getaway

This is the perfect cozy cabin getaway. Diane has built a beautiful handcrafted chalet right in the heart of the Hoh, less than 10min from scenic Ruby Beach. We loved the wood stove and the mossy trails on the property. It was perfect for a year-end retreat. Our doggo was having the time of his life too, playing with the thoughtful pet toys available. Definitely check out the shop - we picked up some tasty local jam. Thanks Diane!!

Exactly what we expected from a cabin. We loved the unique space and the story behind it. Great location to explore the area. Diane had a fire going for us when we got there, gave us some tips on getting another started, and had a ton of info on local.tribes and things to do nearby.
