Lakefront Cabin w/ Dock • Boat Launch Nearby • Swim, Fish, Grill & Chill
Welcome to your peaceful lakefront cabin on Summit Lake, just 20 minutes from Olympia. This one-room hideaway offers a private dock, full kitchen, and direct water access for swimming, boating, fishing, and relaxing. Ideal for writers, couples, and anyone needing a quiet nature reset, this property is available for short, exclusive stays.
The cabin sleeps up to 2 adults on two comfortable fold-flat sofas with soft linens and pillows provided. There is a dining area, Roku smart TV, and a cozy layout that works well for one or two people. A window air conditioner is installed from June and August to keep the space cool and comfortable. Minimum stay is 2 nights; maximum stay is 2 nights.
The full kitchen includes an oven, stovetop, microwave, fridge, and cookware. Whether you're grilling outside or cooking indoors, you’ll have what you need to prepare anything from casual meals to gourmet dishes. The deck features a BBQ grill and table for two. At the water’s edge, enjoy the picnic table, lawn chairs, and fire pit for outdoor meals or sunset lounging. Guests are welcome to bring dry wood for the fire.
Boaters are welcome. You may launch your small boat or kayak at the nearby public boat ramp and tie it up at your private dock just steps from the cabin. For your convenience, a two-person kayak is available on site for guest use. Swim or fish right from the dock, or simply relax with your morning coffee over the water.
Bathroom and shower information:
Inside the cabin is an easy-to-use incinerator toilet that safely burns waste using paper liners. Follow instructions provided for safe and effective use. The bathroom also includes a small sink.
There is no interior shower. An outdoor shower is available on the deck from May - September. The property is not connected to a septic system. Water is hand-delivered and limited, so conservation is important. Guests must use provided eco-safe soaps for both personal use and dishwashing. There is no dishwasher, so dishes must be washed by hand.
Other important information:

No pets allowed due to owner allergies
No smoking or parties
Maximum stay: 3 nights
Guests must provide photo ID, sign rental rules, and agree to proper use of the incinerator toilet before the booking is finalized

Summit Lake is known for its clean, clear water and abundant fish. Species include rainbow trout, kokanee, bass, perch, sunfish, and more. It’s also a popular lake for quiet paddling and seasonal boating. The cabin offers direct lake access with minimal foot traffic and plenty of privacy.
You’re just a short drive from dining, groceries, shops, and antiquing in Olympia. Take a scenic day trip to the Olympic Peninsula or the Pacific Coast, both less than two hours away.
If you’re looking for quiet mornings, clean water, fresh air, and a chance to unplug, this lakeside cabin offers everything you need to reset. Book your stay and experience the calm of Summit Lake for yourself.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Yvonne

I have enjoyed heading to Summit Lake for kayaking and summer swimming since becoming the second owner of this cabin in 2019. This 1950's fishing cabin is a sophisticated tree-house-like studio with private dock access if you want to bring your small boat, or drop your fishing line right off the end of he dock.
Why they chose this property
This cabin is cozy and comfortable, just steps from the lake! The swimming in the summer can't be beat as surface water temps get as high as 80 degrees!
There is a public boat launch at Summit Lake, making it easy to bring your small boat to dock at the cabin during your visit.

What makes this property unique
The spot is ideal because you really are getting a camping-like experience with the comfort and convenience to cook indoors or grill out on the deck. It is very close to Olympia's shops and great restaurants.
