Forks, Washington is located near the edge of the Olympic Peninsula, minutes from the Pacific Ocean. It is an area of wild rivers and primeval forests. Local attractions include Olympic National Park, Hoh Rain Forest, Sol Duc Falls, Cape Flattery and hundreds of trails and miles of rugged coastal beaches. Forks has become famous in recent years as the setting of the popular Twilight books, a vampire fantasy series by Stephanie Meyer. The town has seen a 600-percent rise in tourism since the publication of the books, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal.

The pet-friendly cabins feature fireplaces and kitchenettes and can house two to seven guests, depending on the cabin. The Seacrest building has motel-type lodging, with rooms that accommodate up to four guests and suites that can house four to six.
