Elise’s 80th
8 people ages 6-80 had a great time. The only downer was attempting to see the Ho ancient forest. Line ups too long. We beached it, even tried the bowling alley. Thanks for an enjoyable birthday

Peaceful Reunion
The home was lovely, spacious, and perfect for our family gathering. Our family especially enjoyed spending time in the family room with the various games and activities. The surrounding land was even more picturesque than the photos ...it was a lovely peaceful getaway.

Unforgettable Stay at Wild Duc Lodge
Our recent stay at Wild Duc Lodge was an absolute delight! This family and pet-friendly property, nestled in the beautiful Olympic Peninsula, exceeded all our expectations. The lodge comfortably accommodated our group of 10, offering spacious bedrooms and more than sufficient bathroom facilities. The inclusion of modern amenities like a fully equipped kitchen, washer, dryer, free WiFi, and air conditioning made our stay exceptionally comfortable. The location of the lodge is perfect for exploring the Olympic Peninsula, with just a minute's walk to stunning views and close proximity to the Storm King Ranger Station and Forks Community Hospital. The property grounds are well-maintained and provide a serene backdrop, adding to the peaceful atmosphere of the lodge. What truly made our stay special was the incredible hospitality of the property owners. They were exceptionally accommodating, ensuring that our every need was met and contributing to a memorable and perfect experience. We highly recommend Wild Duc Lodge to anyone looking for a serene, comfortable, and convenient stay in the Olympic Peninsula. It's a place where beautiful memories are guaranteed to be made.

Fantastic Lodge
This is a beautiful place to stay for ambience, view, location to local attractions, comfort and amenities. We loved our stay here! The only negative is that we did not plan to stay longer.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Lisa Brazda

Host profile image
Being a Washington state fishing guide, I live in Forks all winter and spring for steelhead season. My wife of 35+ years and I have a home in the Yakima River valley near Ellensburg for the rest of the year. I operate a guide/ lodge service in winter and vacation rental from the Wild Duc during the spring and summer months. We both went fife high school and met shortly after, we have a family of 6, us and 3 Labradors that enjoy hunting and fishing year around.

Why they chose this property

After my first visit to Forks , then called the "Steelhead Capitol of the World" I knew I would someday be a resident. Now over 35 years later and 21 seasons of guiding these rivers we purchased our second home here. I feel the area has so much to offer the visitor just passing through that the combination or winter fishing and summer vacation travel made it an easy move.

What makes this property unique

The Wild Duc Lodge is situated down a long private drive and over looks the local landscape from a moderate elevated location giving it just enough tranquility and length of view to be special. A very quiet and serene landscape of local rainforest and meadows commonly grazed by Roosevelt elk herds. Morning local clouds and mist rise off the Sol Duc river giving a special touch. South Easterly view offer amazing sun rises and long shadows at sunset. Centrally located out on the NW Olympic Peninsula being close to the amenities of Parks, Ocean Beaches and five local salmon and steelhead rivers provide outdoor tranquility for all.
