I loved the dry cabin and the property. Everything was magical. Perfect romantic getaway or solo , either way! Sunsets and views are the best. Outhouse was super clean smelled good, kitchen had a lot of utensils and useful items! We cooked on the fire pit in the back and it worked out perfect. Lots of space to roam and no road noise at all just the waves crashing! 10/10 recommending to my friends!

2 nights at The Bluff Cabin at Clam Gulch

Our visit was perfect! We had wonderful views of the inlet and volcanos. The magical trails held words of wisdom and mossy mushrooms. The wood stove and comfy bed made for a cozy restful night. We were even treated to a midnight visit from two local moose heading to bed down for the night. We will be back if we get the chance!!
