This Whatcom County park near the Canadian border is technically outside our two-hour range by about half an hour, but has six 1940s cabins available for rent right along the lake, plus one closer to the trails. Cabins sleep three to six, depending on the cabin, and the lakeside ones have some comparably luxury accommodations: full kitchens, refrigerators, and propane fireplaces. They also have the standard cabin trappings, though, like front porches and outdoor grills. (The non-lakeside cabin is more standard, with a fire pit and picnic tables.)

Pets are allowed in some cabins. Cabins rent from $47 to $120 per night, depending on the cabin.

This park along the Skagit River has three 400-square-foot cabins available to rent, which can each sleep up to five—and one that allows pets, too. Each one has log furnishings and ironwork by a local blacksmith, and include a bathroom with a shower. They rent for $59 to $93 per night depending on the day and the season.

Bay View State Park is near Anacortes, making it a decent stop on the way to the San Juan Islands.

Six cabins are available here: four smaller, 144-square-foot, pet-friendly cabins with no private restrooms, and two larger, 224-square-foot cabins with private bathrooms. (One even has a shower!)

Rates at Bay View range from $45 to $69 per night, depending on the cabin and the season.

On the southwest shore of Camano Island, this former 1930s fishing resort has 13 beachfront cabins—and 11 more right behind those—all 280 square feet and able to sleep four to six people. Two in each row allow pets. Bathrooms are shared, but each cabin comes with a little kitchenette.

Six more “deluxe cabins,” located just above the beach, offer more space and amenities, at 392 square feet with private bathrooms, and sleep three to four people. One of those is ADA accessible.

Depending on season, day, location, and cabin type, these cabins rent for $57 to $113 per night. And after years of phone-only reservations, these cabins are finally bookable online!

Camano Island State Park offers five 240-square-foot cabins for rent, each with a front porch wood furniture from local trees made by volunteers. Each one can sleep five; one is ADA-accessible and one other allows pets. They rent for $57 to $87 per night, depending on the day and the season.

Snohomish County Parks provide more opportunities for camping than the typical county park system, and one park, Flowing Lake, even has cabins available for rent. The waterfront park, originally a resort, became a public park in the 1970s. It’s about an hour from Seattle.

The park’s four cabins, which sleep up to five, have various sleeping quarters—two with futons plus bunk beds with a single bed up top and a double below, and two more with two sets of bunk beds for three total singles and one double. One has a deck, one is ADA accessible, and another is pet-friendly. They all come with picnic tables, covered porches, and a grill.

Rates range from $50 to $65 per night, plus fees for pets, extra tents, or RVs.

Also slightly outside the two-hour range—but extra-cool—this Parks Service-owned historic fire lookout is available for overnight rentals for $50 a night plus a $100 damage deposit. It sleeps up to four people, and has a primitive bathroom down the hill from the lookout. Visitors need to bring their own food and water.

This beachside park in Poulsbo along the Hood Canal—also a popular wedding destination—has four 169-square-foot cabins that can sleep up to five, and come equipped with little kitchenettes. They’re all ADA-accessible, but just one is pet-friendly.

Rates range from $45 to $69 a night depending on dates.

Also along Hood Canal—with the bonus of Dosewallips River—Dosewallips State Park has 12 cabins available, each with a front porch and able to sleep five. Bathrooms are shared and cooking is outside. Three have two rooms, one is ADA accessible, and eight allow pets.

Cabins here rent for $45 to $69 per night, depending on the date.

Farther down the Hood Canal, Belfair State Park has eight cabins available—four air-conditioned and five ADA accessible. Each can sleep five; one allows pets. Bathrooms are shared and cooking happens outside.

Rates run from $45 to $69 per night, depending on travel dates.

Technically speaking, Kanaskat-Palmer has six yurts—not cabins. But they can sleep up to five in bunk beds and a queen-size futon, and they’re slightly heated, too. Pets can even come along for an extra charge. The park itself is set on a rapid-filled segment of the Green River, rated class II through IV, plus some gentle trails and calmer pools.

Yurt rentals start at $40 a night in the winter, and go up to $59 a night weekends in summer peak season.

This state park, just 40 minutes from Seattle, is actually somewhat transit-accessible—the 187, available for transfer from downtown at the Federal Way Transit Center, goes to the edge of the park, although it’s still a mile and a half to the park office from the stop.

Each of the park’s seven cabins can sleep five guests, with pets allowed in one of them, and have shared bathrooms. Cooking happens outside.

Rates range from $65 to $80 per night, depending on the season.
