Lochaerie Resort has a rich history that dates back to 1926 when it first opened its doors on the shores of Lake Quinault in the Olympic Peninsula. Nestled amidst towering evergreen trees and serene waters, the rustic but extremely charming resort quickly became known as a little slice of heaven for visitors seeking peace and tranquility in the heart of nature.
Over the years, Lochaerie Resort has welcomed a diverse array of guests who have left their mark on its history. In 1993, the legendary rock band Pearl Jam famously sequestered themselves at the resort to write and record their critically acclaimed album "Vs." The band found inspiration in the pristine beauty of the surroundings and the serene atmosphere, crafting some of their most iconic songs within the walls of the resort's rustic cabins.
Not long after Pearl Jam's stay, esteemed chef and travel enthusiast Anthony Bourdain sought refuge at Lochaerie Resort, drawn by the promise of solitude and natural beauty. Bourdain, known for his love of adventure and exploration, found solace in the quietude of the resort's tranquil setting, using his time there to unwind and recharge before embarking on his next culinary expedition.
Throughout the decades, Lochaerie Resort has stood the test of time, evolving to meet the needs of its discerning guests while preserving its rustic charm and natural allure. Today, it continues to beckon travelers from near and far, offering a retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Olympic Peninsula.
As the sun and rain sets over Lake Quinault and the quietude of the forest envelopes the resort in a gentle embrace, the spirit of Lochaerie lives on—a testament to its enduring appeal and the countless stories of inspiration and rejuvenation whispered within its walls.
