I was planning a last minute weekend hiking trip for my brother and me in the SE corner of Olympic…read moreNational Park. I found the Salmon Cabin at Elk Meadow Farm to be the best lodging option. I determined our two hikes - Mt. Ellinor and Mt Townsend - then explored all hotel/motel/b&b options from the Union/Hoodsport area to Quilcene with 2 beds. There was basically 2 options with 2 beds - one higher end hotel (Alderbrook at $320/night for their most basic room, and not ideal since we were literally there just to sleep, and there was going to be a wedding) and motels. The Salmon Cabin was in between and at $140/night was great value. We arrived after hiking the Mt Ellinor trail. The owner, Jim, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us additional info on the Mt Townsend hike. He left us hot coffee in 2 travel thermos at 6am the next morning, and then came to the cabin to check us out after our hike since he knew we were pressed to make our afternoon flights out of Sea-Tac. What made it great: - 2 rooms - bedroom with queen for my brother, and living space with futon for me - Bathroom was very clean and they left toiletries - Great use of space, with a full kitchen if you want to cook, washer and dryer if you are staying several days - They let us stay one night, and were flexible with check-out to allow us to shower after our morning hike - It was quiet and peaceful on a side street off Route 101 A few things to know: - A great central location between Mt. Ellinor and Mt Townsend, but limited options for dining/groceries in Brinnon. Therefore, we planned an early dinner at Hama Hama Oysters before closing (5:30) on our way to the cabin - This is a great value option - the sheets and towels were good quality for the price but you should not expect luxury hotel linens

When I drove up the door was open and it was dark at night. I reached my arm in to turn on the…read morelights but didn't feel safe to go in. The place wreaked of urine or animal feces. I did not go inside but instead went back to my car and called for them to help with the situation. They told me the only thing I could do was go inside while on the phone with them, because they lived too far to come check the place out for me. There was no attendant available and I didn't feel that was a very safe thing to do but I locked the door behind me to check the place out & make sure all was clear. I was alone and it was late at night. No bears or axe murderers! They didn't have any other rooms available to offer me. I got roughly 4 hours of sleep because of the smell kept me tossing and turning. The next morning, the two cleaning ladies admitted to leaving the door unlocked for the other one and forgot to close it. They were both aware of the smell and stated they needed to go behind the building to see if there was an animal that got in underneath. The place was tidy but was a horrid animal smell. I was told that I could get half a refund back but when I called Vacasa customer service, they told me I'd get $54 refunded, which is less than half of what I paid for 1 night. A few minutes after the call, I received a text that said correction only $29 would be refunded instead. That was just wrong and upset me. I called back and after several transfers, spoke to the team leader and was able to get the $54 refund. It's too bad the place was not so great because their customer service is right on top of things and decently easy to get a live person. But when they tell you one amount then text you and say oops sorry it's actually less than what you'd already said on the phone... that is poor customer service. I'm happy that I will be getting the $54 refund. I am currently watching for it to come through. 6/9/26

There is a fire pit, so if there's no burn ban that would be fun. Leo and Caroll were great hosts, and insist that they are OK with people like us virtually living in their front yard for hours!

Units include living areas, fireplaces, separate bedrooms, and kitchens, which can save on food costs during an extended stay, and there is a laundry machine and dryer. One possible drawback is the quite dedicated Mom Hummingbird who built a nest immediately in front of the office entrance. She doesn't hurt anyone, but prepare to be startled!

When we walked into the room, we were surprised to see a couch, microwave, mini fridge, fireplace, and a separate bedroom. The bed was very comfortable and even had a down comforter. If we wouldn't have been just passing through, we would have loved to stay here locked up for a couple's getaway.

The rooms are tight with the two double beds but did appreciate the mini fridge and microwave. The parking lot got packed on a Sunday night, a few shady characters. But the lovely small sandy beach area and walking path the big perk on nice day. We paid nearly $200 for one night having one dog. Yes your close to the water but the big parking lot is impeding on your view on bottom floor, we basins saw cars from our window, and room small, very average and on dirty side in areas.

The very nice girl that checked us in moved us to the 3rd floor and the room is very clean. The towels were new, plush and fluffy white. There's a mini fridge and microwave. Unfortunately they didn't have another king-bed room to move us to so we had a room with two queen beds. The mattresses moved a LOT if one person rolled over so I had to sleep in a separate bed than my husband. I did appreciate that the window opened a bit for fresh air and we had a nice view of the water. This is an older motel that's seen many guests and years so it's pretty nice given its age. I would stay here again but only in that same room.

The hotel has a large lobby with plenty of luggage carts for transporting baggage to rooms. The hotel is located in Silverdale on the Dyes Inlet, a lovely bay connected to the Puget Sound. There are lots of shopping, dining, and tourist activities in the surrounding area, as well as remarkable natural beauty. I absolutely love the waterfront views from this hotel, as well as the lovely pebble beach covered in driftwood. There are several paths for relaxing strolls along the beach, and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the sunset. The hotel offers a swimming pool and hot tub, however the pool was a bit cool the last few times I visited in the winter. Perhaps it will be a bit more enjoyable for peak summer visits - when a cold dip in the pool is most refreshing. The hotel offers complimentary bowls of soup in the evening, which is always a welcome surprise.

The room was very clean and comfortable, and we had a beautiful view from the balcony, which made the stay even more relaxing. The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. Parking was also very easy, with plenty of spots and convenient access even for larger vehicles. One of the highlights was the included breakfast. It is buffet style with plenty of options. The coffee selection was surprisingly good, with different types of beans and flavors, along with a nice variety of teas. I really appreciated that they serve real eggs instead of the typical premade ones you often find at hotels, which made a big difference for me. Not forget to mention the wonderful Hawaiian lady in the restaurant. She is amazing and so sweet. My daughters and I just love her!! The only reason I am giving four stars instead of five is the pool area. It feels a bit outdated, the pool was not as clean as expected, and it is on the smaller side. The towels provided for the pool are also quite small. Since I usually choose hotels with nice pool areas for my daughters, this part was a bit disappointing. That said, I still recommend this place and would definitely come back again.

Also has a beautiful view over looking the lake. Thank you so much Silverdale BW+ we will definitely keep you in mind any time we're back that way. One of the best hotel staffs we have experienced.

I was offered a room upgrade for the inconvenience. When I got to the room, it was clear that the room was occupied. The bed wasn't made, there was luggage and clothes on the floor - they gave me the key to somebody else's room!!! I travel for work, and often need to travel alone - there is NO WAY I will ever stay at a hotel that would potentially allow some rando into my room!!! I marched down to the front desk and demanded a refund - apparently this was due to the "system being down" or something. Uh, sure. I demanded a refund and booked a room at the hotel (one of the many, much better and similarly priced options) across the street. Never, ever staying at this property again. Frankly, I'd be weary of the Best Western name now, too. AVOID at all costs if you are a woman traveling alone, or if you are a family with children. This place will NOT prioritize safety.

Our days were filled with hiking and kayak adventures! The resort offers clamming and crabbing (permits might apply). They even had a soda machine! There are several restaurants to choose from within 5 miles. The staff were friendly and helpful. They were knowledgeable about the area and gave recommendations on places to see. There was a bit of noise from traffic as we were close to the main road. But it always died down around 10 pm and didn't start up till late morning. The room we had was small but there were end tables with sufficient outlets, a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, a few cups and dishes along with everything needed for a cup of coffee in the morning. I had forgotten to bring my tea and was a bit disappointed that there were no tea bags in the room. But there was a grocery store not far down the road.. I could have used a few more hooks in the bathroom to hang wet towels or clothes. But other than that, it was an awesome stay!
