I often joke that Olympic National Park is perfect for nature-loving travelers with short attention spans, because, at just under a million acres, it’s home to a myriad of vastly different biozones, all situated a mere two-hour drive from Seattle. Want to cruise up 70 miles of rugged, rocky coastline littered with sea stacks and tidepools? Olympic can make it happen. Prefer to stroll through a lush, temperate rainforest or hike to the toe of a frigid glacier? Yep, you can do that here, too.
Home to a rich indigenous heritage—eight modern-day tribes maintain relationships with the park—Olympic is full of history, including the century-old historic lodges it’s dotted with. Outdoorsy guests can indulge in a spa getaway at Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort or dine like Theodore Roosevelt at the stately dining hall in the Lake Quinault Lodge. Of course, there are also loads of modern stays along the Olympic Peninsula if that’s more your speed. Below, find our top Airbnbs, Vrbos, glamping sites, and hotels for your next idyllic Pacific Northwest sojourn.
