30 Amazing Cabins in Washington State to Book Now

Washington State is what I consider to be my home state, and I’m still amazed that 30+ years into life, I’m still discovering new places. When it comes to scenic landscapes and outdoor adventure, there’s no place quite like Washington.

It truly has it all – the Cascades and Olympics give you tons of mountainous terrain to explore, the San Juan Islands (and Whidbey Island) give you a taste of island life, and the Olympic Peninsula gives you that rugged Pacific Coastline that the Pacific Northwest is famous for (no sandy, L.A.-style beaches here!).

Whether you’re planning a trip to this beautiful region or you live here and are looking for a cozy cabin getaway, you’ll have plenty of options when it comes to places to stay. But if you’re looking for that authentic Pacific Northwest experience, we recommend staying in one of these cozy cabins in Washington State.
