Kalaloch Lodge at Olympic National Park Kalaloch Lodge at Olympic National Park, 157151 US-101, Forks, WA 98331, United States

Introduction / Description

This remote, oceanfront hotel on a bluff is the only coastal lodge along this 73-mile stretch of Olympic National Park and is owned by the National Parks Service. The town of Forks is 34 miles away.

The unplugged experience means the property has no phone signal and no Wi-Fi. A restaurant serves local fare with a focus on sustainable ingredients, and there's an on-site convenience store.

Arrival & Car Parking

• Two ADA parking spots in the lot closest to the lodge, and an ADA parking spot in front of each of our accessible Cabins (Bluff Cabin #43 and Kalaloch Cabin #40).

Entrance & Reception

Entrance Doors: There is a ramp on the front of the Main Lodge building to the main front door, but not to the registration area (there are two steps to go down). We also have a sidewalk and a ramp to the back deck of our Creekside Restaurant, where you can dine and enter the restaurant via the back entrance. We do not have automatic doors on the property.

Front Desk Registration: The entrance closest to the ADA parking is our gift shop/registration entrance; it has a sliding glass door that wheelchairs can access, and there is a low counter for signing paperwork. The sliding glass door access is not fully accessible; there is a bit of a bump that guests using wheelchairs would need to navigate.

Ramps & Elevators: We do not have an elevator on property, but we do have a ramp at the main lobby entrance. Kalaloch Cabin #40 also has a ramp.
