Martin and Suzann are owners and full-time managers of Olympic View Cabins. They are close by so are available whenever you might need. Their son designed and built the cedar Compass Rose House in 2010.
Suzann Pilot purchased this House in 2004
Why Suzann Pilot chose Port Angeles
We had a vision for over 30 years of a family compound where we could live and share a beautiful natural environment with our son and daughter. We traveled the Pacific Rim, New Zealand and Canada in search of a place. When we found this place 14 years ago it felt like we had found our dream.
The Olympic Peninsula provides remarkable natural beauty of almost every sort. We climb mountains and get into areas with pristine glaciers and lakes and see bear and goats and deer, and a huge variety of birds. We love to find waterfalls that few people have found and explore the rainforest mysteries summer and winter. Our children surf the waves as we explore the beaches which have unusual pinnacles and formations, and we collect driftwood and bask on the white sand. We take our family picnicking on the beautiful clear rivers where they often catch Steelhead or Salmon. Skiing and snowboarding and several winter sports are a big attraction. And always, we make sure visitors get into the exceptional Olympic National Park.
What makes this House unique
We take great pride in the home we offer to you with meticulous detail. Our son designed his Compass Rose House and we all built it together. Some refer to it as 'elegant camping' since you feel like you are almost out of doors with the openess the home has to all the surroundings. You have all the luxuries for truly comfortable living; excellent beds and linen and great cooking facilities--even the best of organic local herbs.
Our specialty in life has been to enjoy and appreciate nature and to help others have that passion too. And that is witnessed in our lovely property and the beautiful homes we have blended with the natural environment. For those who want privacy, we provide it. For those who want a serene and restorative Northwest experience, we provide that. Our homes are surrounded by meadows and a pond filled with fish, with majestic trees lining the edges and wildflowers. We have tried to make nature available and enjoyable out of every window and from every deck. Our hot tubs are outside so you can view the stars. You can see the Olympic Mountains in all their array from nearly every window. We want to touch people, to leave a lasting memory of enjoyment and rejuvenation, to have an infectious experience that compels them to want to pass on the importance of our natural resources to everyone.
The place was clean. Owners were very friendly and location was perfect for daily trips into Olympic National Park.
This was a fantastic property to stay in for a few days and a great location to explore many of the hiking trails in Olympic National Park!
Suzann is great. The property is stunning. Very quiet and relaxing. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We loved the open layout, cathedral ceiling and fireplace with one of most beautiful views we have ever seen! The master bed was very comfortable, loved the books, and enjoyed cooking for friends and family while we were there. It was so nice to come home to our log cabin after church, bible studies, visiting family and friends, going on walks around Salt Creek and the waterfront, and taking the Coho to Victoria where we ate the best Italian food ever! When we come back to Port Angeles, we hope to stay here again!
We spent two days just prior to Thanksgiving at this beautiful cabin and had a great time! Our goal was to getaway and have some quiet, quality time as a family. We have a two-year-old who loved exploring the outdoors. The amenities were just perfect for a relaxing time! Highly recommend staying here!
