Rainforest Resort Village Website

...Useful information to know...

  • Airport:    Any guests flying in will arrive at Sea-Tac or Portland airports. That’s as close as you can get by commercial plane. The resort is 3 hours from Sea-Tac, and 3 ½ hours from Portland.  
  • Banks:    The nearest banks are in Aberdeen / Hoquiam (twin cities), which you’ll pass by before heading 48 miles north to the resort. The resort does accept debit and credit cards, as do most businesses in the area. After all, during the on-season, this is a resort hot spot!
  • Stores:    There’s a small grocery story on-site at the resort that has a “little bit of everything.” A larger store sits at the foot of the lake on Hwy 101. The resort store also has a nice gift shop.
  • Gas Stations:    A Chevron station sits across the street from the Lake Quinault Lodge, one mile away from the resort. Another station is out on the main highway in Amanda Park.
  • Hospitals:    The nearest major hospital is in Aberdeen / Hoquiam. There is a medical clinic in Neilton, a few miles south of the south shore lake road, and is staffed by a PA and nursing staff.
  • Post Office:    A US Post Office is on the resort site, next to the general store.
  • Landromat:    The resort also has a laundromat, right next to the Post Office and general store.
  •  Nature Trails:    Several trails originate right next to the resort. Other trails start near the Lake Quinault Lodge a mile away.
  • World's Largest Sitka Spruce:    This giant tree is right on the resort property!
  • Golf Course:    Indeed! Lockes Landing Golf Course is right next to the resort and is the only golf course located in a Temperate Rainforest. The fairways could be a little ... soggy ... this time of year. Van Pelt and I might play a round next year! 
  • Lake Quinault Drive:    You can drive all the way around the lake, as long as roads are not flooded out. Much of the drive up valley is on a somewhat bumpy, twisty gravel road. You can find out more information from the front desk at the resort office.
