Everything you could want in a historic national-park lodge and more, the suspended-in-time Quinault, built in 1926, has a massive fireplace, a manicured cricket-pitch-quality lawn, huge, comfy leather sofas, a regal reception area, and a dignified lake-view restaurant serving upscale American cuisine. Trails into primeval forest leave from just outside the door.
The Quinault's warmth and character are no secret, and reservations are recommended. Rates drop by about 40% in low season.
