We had a bit of cabin fever this month, it seems – the fever to book a getaway in these unique lodgings located throughout the Olympic National Forest. Douglas Scott’s story about renting these historic and rustic cottages captivated reader’s interest and likely their reservations for this spring and summer, too.’
