A grand and rustic lodge built in 1926 in the heart of the Quinault Rain Forest among ancient Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, western red cedar, and western hemlocks, on the south shore of Lake Quinault. The two-story historic lodge was built in the mid-20s and has welcomed thousands of visitors from all over the world including President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the early 1930s.

A restaurant, gift shop, indoor swimming pool, sauna, game room and small conference room are available.

Nearby trails make it easy to explore the temperate rain forest found on the western side of the Peninsula. The Quinault National Recreation Trail System adjacent to the lodge on the south shore of Lake Quinault contains many family friendly hiking options to explore this unique ecosystem.
