Falling for Fall at Olympic National Park - Blue Haven at Port Angeles

You know those moments that stick with you, wrapped in golden hues and crisp air? That's exactly how my visit to Olympic National Park and Lake Sutherland during the fall felt. And the cherry on top? Our Airbnb that was more than just a place to crash, it felt like a part of the whole enchanting experience.

From the moment I embarked on the trails, the autumnal magic of the park was undeniable. The fall colors were in full swing, with bursts of amber and gold stretching as far as the eye could see. Each hike was a discovery, an intimate dance with nature's own artwork, and the trails, less traveled after the summer rush, felt like my own private passageways through the woods.

Kayaking on Lake Sutherland was a chapter out of a storybook. The lake, mirroring the fiery hues above, was a peaceful respite from the everyday hustle. Each paddle stroke cut through the reflection, sending ripples across a glassy canvas, while the mist in the morning was a soft veil that made each sunrise an ethereal experience.

Then there was Blue Haven - my lakeside sanctuary. This cabin wasn't just a place to stay; it was a part of the journey. Waking up to the reflections of the fall colors on the lake's surface, cozy evenings spent grilling on the barbecue, and nights under a blanket of stars - it was all a dream that you never wanted to end.

Blue Haven was more than just a cabin; it was my personal nook in this vast wilderness. With its cozy ambiance, a kitchen that called for hearty meals, and bedrooms that whispered of restful nights, it was home. The evenings were a symphony of sizzling barbecues and crackling fire pits, all set against a backdrop of lakefront serenity.
