Van Riper's Resort

"The staff was incredible. The maids came and spoke to you if they had any issues. The cashiers at the shop weren't trying to nickel and dime you. They were honest about what they offered and what they suggested was always wonderful. We will be coming back to this location again!"

"We stayed across the street and stopped by to check out the store. Bought a couple sweaters due to the cold weather. There are plenty of fishing gear and also basic foods to get you through."

"Really impressed with this little property. Pros: - Room had everything we needed (bed, sturdy table, kitchen, etc.) - Includes a little kitchen with dishes and everything. I can see this being a little home away from home for fishermen or others. - Great price - booked it on Orbitz I believe and it was super cheap for what we got. - Location was perfect for what we needed for a road trip through the Olympic Penisula - centrally located. - Fantastic view at all times of the day. Right at the water's edge. Cons: - It got really hot in the room. We kept all the windows open in the room and just kept our curtains closed the entire time. That made it better but still quite toasty. - No tub, just a shower - The shower also had a leaky faucet so we had to be creative with how to deal with the drippy drippy water noise."

"The service was great and super nice, but the room is very old and cold, no deadbolt on the door, one pillow per side of bed, no headboard, hot water didn't last and was dodgy, shower was barely a stall and I'm pretty sure we paid for an ocean view/balcony room and it was a small window with a view of a parking lot. Definitely feels like the price of $116/N is super high for the off season"

"This is my 6th year, my husband's 21st year of visiting. Same room same amazing view. The owner is knowledgeable about the area, he has continued to improve accommodation and docks, morage areas every year. The rooms are basic, well stocked with what you need, and if they are not...just ask, the staff go out of the way to make sure your stay is a great experience. His shop is well stocked too, possibly everything you need if you forget something (or lose). Highly recommend this great resort."
