One of the most picturesque spots that you are likely to find in terms of accommodation is Kalaloch Lodge. The Lodge sits on a bluff high above the crashing surf of the Pacific Ocean directly below. It offers all types of accommodations, from rooms in the main lodge itself, to larger spaces in log cabins, complete with kitchenettes, 18 of whom sit directly on top of the bluff. The lodge has a dining room and lounge which also looks out to the Pacific Ocean, as well as a general store, gas station, and gift shop. Needless to say that the sunset view from any of the offerings, but particularly the lodge rooms and the units atop the bluff, is to die for. Prices are not too unreasonable--rooms for 2 run up to $150, while cabins housing a family of four or five go for a bit more than $200. The price also depends on the view, of course. The one drawback, if you tend to be like me, i.e., an impulse traveler, is that reservations have to be made way in advance. The lodge manager once told me that reservation for the popular summer months have to be made at least a year ahead of time. Or you can call a couple of days before you go there and hope that someone has canceled, which does happen occasionally. But try to stay there. You will feel like you are on top of the world.
