Recent review - 7/15/2019\. Beautiful view, comfortable house We had a fabulous time staying at this house. Great location with easy access to lots of hiking (Lake Crescent, Sol Duc, Hurricane Ridge). Owners were great. My dad and my son went fishing with Rick and had a great time. The house was super comfortable for the 7 of us. The kitchen was well stocked and the view was amazing. We hope to make it back someday and would highly recommend this house! House and Property Description: River House, a 2672 sf home on a high bank above the Elwha River, features views of the River and the distant snow-topped mountains that are a photographer's delight, an ever-changing vista of light and shadow. The spacious great room/dining area/kitchen is lit by a three-story prow window and invites day's end relaxation with television, wood stove and comfortable leather seating. The dining area features seating for six around a large teak table. The modern kitchen is well-equipped for meal preparation. The "Sockeye Suite" a light-filled room with an en-suite bath, king size bed, television and walk-in closet, encompasses the second floor, assuring the greatest privacy. A balcony off the bedroom is a fine place to take your morning coffee. The adjacent "Steelhead Room," a cozy spot with a comfortable twin bed, shares a bath with the Sockeye Suite. On the main floor, a third bedroom features a king- size bed, television, a walk-in closet and an adjacent designated bath. "Waterfowl Room" takes its theme and colors from exquisitely detailed duck prints and decoys. This room features double sliding doors allowing easy outdoor viewing of the River and mountains. The fourth bedroom is the striking "Upland Game Birds" room featuring images of pheasants and grouse,walk in closet, unique color scheme and furniture, a queen size bed, and a designated bathroom. A path down to the River allows a close-up view of the changes in the water flow since the the Glines and Elwha dams were removed in2014. We are blessed with occasional and unpredictable visits from deer and the Herrick Road elk herd, as well as cougar and bear spottings. Across the River is the Olympic Hot Springs Road entrance to the Olympic National Park. This entry leads to a recently built overlook to the former site of the Glines Dam. (At present, access to the Park via this entrance is limited due to winter storm damage.) Lake Crescent is about 15 minutes west on Highway 101\. The Lodge has a covered porch and outdoor seating fine for sipping your tea, coffee, wine etc and viewing a stunning 624 ft deep lake, recently voted the best in Washington. There are easy flat walking paths on the grounds as well. A mile-long trail leads to the 90 foot Marymere Waterfall. Olympic Raft and Kayaking is literally "right down the road". Harbinger Winery's Tasting Room is about 6 miles east on 101, on the right side. Right next door is Adventures in Kayaking. Additional activities on the Olympic Peninsula: http://www.clallam.org/outdoor-adventure-1.html & the "Nearby Sight" attachment on your welcome email.s Fishing & Guiding: Salmon abound in the rivers and ocean in this area with trout and halibut coming in second place. The Elwha River salmon are recovering their former number since the Elwha and Glines Dams were removed four years ago. As of October, 2018, 5,300 chinook are expected to return this fall to spawn, 15,000 rainbow trout were counted in September and bull trout and summer steelhead numbers are multiplying apace. The Elwha will open to sport fishing in July, 2021 at the earliest. River House has generous frontage on the River that is available to our guests for fishing when it reopens. Rick knows the River like the back of his hand and will be available for scheduled lessons for those new to salmon and trout fishing. Silver salmon and king salmon are running in the rivers from September (provided there is good rainfall during the month) to February. Steelhead are available from November to the end of March. Salt water salmon fishing season runs from July 1st to August 15th. Rick guides river drift- boat fishing and can arrange for charter ocean fishing. He also provides guide services for the genetically distinct Beardslee trout found only in nearby Lake Crescent, a most beautiful place. The Beardslee trout season starts June 1st and ends October 31st. They are catch and release only and no license is needed as Lake Crescent is part of the Olympic National Park. Scenic drift boat trips on the west end rivers are available. A minimum of two and maximum of three persons are necessary to book a drift boat fishing trip and a minimum of a two night stay at River House is also needed. Scenic drift boat trips can accommodate 1 adult and 2 children, ages 8 and up or 2-3 adults. A minimum of two persons is needed for fishing Lake Crescent. Text Rick for further information at 360 477-1715. Pet Policy and Fee We welcome a maximum of two dogs per stay. The dogs must be a year old or older, be neutered or spayed, and treated with flea and tick control such as Frontline or Advantage 3 days prior to arrival. Please groom (brush) your dog shortly before your arrival. A dog bed might be helpul to make your dog feel at home and a crate is strongly recommended if you plan to leave your dog in the house when you go sightseeing or dining out. Please remember that the River House area is heavily wooded and near the Olympic National Park. If your dog gets loose, it may be a difficult, perhaps impossible, task to find him. In addition, coyotes, and cougars are commonplace and the occasional bear has been known to visit. The Herrick Road elk herd visits the field at random. Large antlered buck guard the herd and might react to an excited dog. Please take this seriously and save yourself (and us) some heartache by keeping your pet on a leash and using a collar with contact information on it. We welcome your pet but can continue to do this only if care of the pet and the house and grounds is attended to. The pet fee is $100 per stay for one dog and $150 a stay for two dogs. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Outside only ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina - Near the sea - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Sledding nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,673 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93840000/93835200/93835163/0ba3aef8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rainforest Getaway - Hot tub, bar, game room, creek in Forks...relax in style!

The kitchen is very well stocked with all the pots and pans you need, glasses, etc. Unfortunately, the dishwasher did not work while we were here. Also the hot tub, we enjoyed it in the dark, but then took a look at it the next morning and realized it was dirty and low on water. Overall a wonderful stay! ##### Heather S.

Thoughtful amenities like binoculars to view wildlife helped us admire visitors like the red tail hawk that perched in front of our windows one afternoon. Seeing a large heard of Roosevelt elk nearby was a highlight of the trip. Walking the property we heard the thrumming of grouse. The location right outside of the National park is ideal and the mountain/river view can’t be beat. This is a large enough home to host two families with good size kitchen and dining area. The shuffleboard is a hoot. I was here with a group of friends but plan to return with my family. Thank you so much for the fantastic stay. ##### Sarah P.

Such a beautiful place! The house was clean, open, well spaced out and even better than the photos. There were plenty of supplies (tp, dishwasher cubes, paper towels, etc). We loved relaxing in the hot tub, eating outside, grilling and listening to the river. In the evening we took a ride up Herrick Rd and saw lots of deer. The big windows let you admire nature as soon as you were up for the day. We made good use of the cooler and yoga mat. Thanks for those extras! We wish we could have stayed longer! ##### Kimberly A.

We are veteran rental home travelers and this one was one of the few that looked exactly like the photos and met the description. The huge windows overlooked the river below as did the hot tub and very large outdoor patio and fire pit. We loved the location — close enough to town but even closer to all the hiking we wanted. We loved staying here. The only problem was that the well is shared among several homes and we ran out of water several times until the well refilled. However, timing of showers and laundry was an easy workaround. The owner said a new tank was being delivered next week. We’d definitely stay here again. The owner was incredibly responsive and friendly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angie H.

The River House was a perfect place for my group of 7 - including spouse, or young adult sons & a few of their favorite people. The cabin exceeded our great expectations when we saw the beautiful new huge patio that surrounds the fire pit, hot tub, 2 great tables & chaise lounge. Many photos on website show grass outside rather then this gorgeous high end multi-textural patio. Everything we could think of was in the kitchen & the nice grill had a full tank of propane. One night, we talked to Rick about making the local Dungeness crab for our own crab dinner & he immediately offered to prep it for us. He was awesome! It was delicious! His lil doggy Small was our official mascot during our trip! He is a darling mini dachshund with the best personality! He made us all smile! I would definitely recommend Rick & his beautiful River House to my friends & family that visit Olympic National park! I hope to be back again!! ##### Angie H.
