About Interrorem Cabin

Interrorem Cabin is located beneath magnificent stands of Big Leaf Maple trees, offering guests an ideal location for relaxation and recreation. The cabin was built in 1907 as the first administrative site in the Olympic National Forest. Emery J. Finch, Ranger and Hoodsport pioneer, built the cabin for his new bride, Mabel, and they moved in 1908. Today, the site offers guests a unique lodging experience year-round in Olympic National Forest. The cabin is accessible by car. Basic amenities are offered, but guests will have to bring some of their own supplies and gear.

Lovely 3-day stay. Cabin was clean and well-cared for when we arrived. The area was beautiful but dry -- morning walks to Ranger's Hole were a staple of our stay there and hikes along the Duckabush River were wonderful.

We had a lovely time at Interrorem Cabin. It was just the getaway we were looking for. Calm, quiet and amongst the trees. I recommend hiking the trails behind the cabin and stopping for oysters at Hama Hama Oyster Saloon. Please leave the place better than you found it by cleaning the kitchen, sweeping and taking out your trash. There is no water and no refrigerator but the propane stove and lights were working.

Cabin is rustic but cozy, lights didn’t work but one, also bring cooler and lights. The floor could use a mop, the water pump is not easy. the walk to the outhouse at night is scary! But the Ranger hole trail is awesome so is murhut falls! Must see!! I enjoyed sitting at the front porch with my wine listening to the rain.

Mice everywhere, dirty, disgusting, lights broken. Propane smell, caused headaches left before 10pm. Retire this old cabin and don't have it be somewhere people can stay. It's not safe. No running water, no electricity. It's GARBAGE. Not worth staying there.

This was a wonderful two day get away! No phones, no television, no social media. Loved it! Went hiking, enjoyed the outdoors, enjoyed a fire outside. Hiked to Murhut Falls... it's a great place to stay. Cabin has basically everything you'll need. Bring your food in cooler with ice, but pots and pans are well stocked. The Propane heater is wonderful, kept the cabin cozy. Absolutely a five star event and I'd go back in a heartbeat. I will add that I wouldn't want to stay here during the summer months - being at the head of the Ranger Hole hike, people will be coming there all day until too dark to hike. You certainly won't have privacy at the cabin until dark. All in all, wonderful retreat!

Stayed here years ago.. decline
1. Facilities
Non working refrigerator.. in fact it is on back porch.. (and looks like it has been there a long time).. not noted in booking description.. is this a hazard? Googled “refrigerator death”
5 propane light fixtures.. 3 don’t work.. kitchen one is most critical.. looks again like a long neglected issue.
2. Cleanliness
Pretty filthy overall.. not the client quick cleanup type but accumulated over long time.
Woodwork needs a good deep clean.
Cabinets and utensil drawer have mouse turds and greasy.
Planned on using stove.. not a good idea.. dark hole.. wouldn’t put anything to eat in it!
Would not recommend
