A cozy log cabin stay in Olympic National Park during storm season.
Monday, December 4, 2006 |

Kalaloch Lodge, Olympic National Park 
 
The Storm Thriller package includes a one-night stay in one of Kalaloch's rustic log cabins with an ocean view and a Franklin wood burning stove; complimentary mugs and a package of Starbucks coffee; and a book of photos: Kalaloch Lodge, Washington's Olympic National Park. The lodge's dramatic location atop a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean is perfect for watching storms roll over the sea--from a safe, cozy distance. Rates start at $119 per cabin per night, based on double occupancy. Note that this has been an especially stormy year for the park; some trails and roads were flooded in early November and remain closed (though apparently none that affect transportation to/from Kalaloch Lodge). For the latest conditions, call 360/565-3131 or visit nps.gov When: Jan. 2-Mar. 29, 2007. Details: Hotel taxes are an additional 12.66 percent. Cabins sleep up to eight people; there is $12 fee per extra guest. The park is about a three-hour drive from Seattle. Contact: 866/525-2562, visitkalaloch.com.
