The lodge, my home, is on the other side of the lake and has a full apt. available as well. See Nighthawk Lodge Apartment at VRBO or Facebook page. The hot tub is located at the lodge and is a short walk or drive from the cottage.
I grow a variety of organic veggies, berries, fruit available for purchase in season. Also as a passion, I make in house charcuterie, cheese, sourdoughs and ferments mostly for friends but extend to guests when available as farm to table concept.
I encourage chefs, cooks, gardeners to participate and share knowledge of all things food.
Cottage built 2020, 700 sq ft with wrap around porches, deluxe kitchen including gas stove/oven, tiled tub/shower, cozy private bedroom with futon in main room, large windows, gas grill, firepit, antique furnished with eclectic artworks and paintings.

Quiet and peaceful retreat

We sought a getaway from Seattle to hike and relax - this cottage was the perfect fit. It was secluded yet easy to get to. We appreciated the gated security. The cottage itself was amazing! Well constructed with a stocked kitchen for cooking. The stars visible at night were breathtaking!! We were very close to fantastic hiking and felt very much like we were immersed in nature. James was responsive and very helpful. Highly recommend!!

Lake Cottage

Three lovely nights of peace, quiet and beauty. Jamie is a fabulous host. The cottage is lovely, roomy and comfortable.If his charcuterie is available, it is excellent, memorable and a bargain at any price. He helped us plan some outings in the area away from the property as well. We plan a return visit. Highly recommended! 6 Stars!

Beautiful weekend under the stars

Our stay was awesome. The cabin is an idyllic PNW experience. As a local, I would recommend anyone from out of state to stay here to get a true northwest experience. The lake is serene and the private dock is an awesome place to hangout. James was a great host and very helpful. We will definitely come back to spend more time soaking in the lake.

Beautiful location

The cabin was such a great place to get away to for a few days. The cabin itself was very comfortable/. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the gorgeous lake. The water was perfect for swimming and for sitting next to and just enjoying the peace of being there. The host, James, was very welcoming and fun to talk to, and if you eat pork definitely get his charcuterie platter. We'd love to come back again sometime.

Great place to unplug!

This cabin was a delightful surprise - it's even nicer than the photos suggest, the bed was very comfortable, and the location was breathtaking. This is a great place to unplug but one callout if you plan to work remotely, it is satellite internet so inclement weather can interfere with the signal. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect location for a perfect getaway

We loved our stay! This is the perfect location for a quiet getaway! Morning coffee on the lake, evenings in the hot tub and by the campfire, gorgeous unpopulated hiking trails at nearby Spada Lake- this place had everything we were craving. Jamie’s charcuterie was a such a special treat! The cabin had absolutely everything we needed and the nearby grocery in Sultan was very convenient. We look forward to our next stay!

About the host

Hosted by James Barlow

Host profile image
As a retired builder, developer, I enjoy continued landscaping and vegetable/berry/fruit growing and preservation of such on my 40 acres as well as charcuterie, sourdough and cheese production. I take advantage of the local mountain hiking and fishing as well as Donaldson steelhead/trout triploids in lake depending on otter predation.

Why they chose this property

I bought this 40 acres in part due to the 2.5 acre lake at its center as well as the seclusion. I built my home-the Lodge- and sculpted the grounds with extensive soil amendments for organic food production and landscaping.

What makes this property unique

New cottage on lake with private dock. Hot tub a short walk or drive around lake. Fresh organic produce available for purchase in season.
The property is a a nature cornucopia.
I named the property after the common Nighthawk who migrates from South America to nest here in summer, one of the longest migrations to North America. Their acrobatic maneuvers are extraordinary as well as the unique behavior of plummeting toward earth, to pull up and create a loud boom which is due to their wing/bone structure.
I've identified 56 species of birds on the property and await new arrivals especially migratory.
The Pacific tree frog and other indigenous amphibians proliferate in the lake. The frogs sing me to sleep with their mating songs in spring and summer.
The lake is surrounded by a peat bog of varying vibrant varieties as well as wild cranberries, Labrador Tea, Sundews-our carnivorous resident- and plants unique to peat bogs.
Many species of wild life live here. Bobcat, black bear, cougar, mountain beavers as well as beavers, otters, red squirrels, deer. None have been aggressive toward us.
Mushrooming in fall is as good as it gets. Chanterelles, boletus, lions main etc.
