"The stay was wonderful at Lake Quinalt Lodge. It was a bit of a throwback to simpler times, which was nice. Throughout the day people hung out together in the common room playing games, chatting, or reading as it is very comfortable with ample number of seats. The large lawn in the back towards the lake is also wonderfully used by those staying with families playing ball together or reading in the Adirondak chairs. The view of the lake was great. We were very happy with our stay.
The only downside was the staff as they weren't as polished or knowledgeable as I expected of them. They were all very casual in handling our requests/questions. Some housekeeping things were missing which were supplied on request. Hopefully, these little problems will be ironed out by the high season.
The restaurant will soon be up and running fully again, which can only mean an improvement. We ate only one breakfast during our 3-night stay (no dinners) and found that meal disappointing. It's not surprising as the chef had to cook out of a tent. I'm sure the food will only improve when the chef has access to a full (and warm) kitchen again. I felt for him working in the cold/cramped conditions he had to work in!
We really enjoyed the tour of the Lake Quinault area led by Erik. He was very knowledgeable, informative, and did well educating us about the rainforest, the types of trees, etc. and was delightful to be with. "
