About this property

The Family Lake Place- 3 Bdrm- Year Round Hiking, Boating, Fishing


Our family lake place of 50 years is the perfect home base for your next vacation to the Olympic National Forest.

Spend your days kayaking Lake Cushman or hiking the many nearby trails, then return home to a dog-friendly living space, a wood-burning fireplace, and a selection of board games, books and movies for your entertainment.

Outside, there's a large deck for socializing and dining. Off-street parking is available for 4-6 vehicles, perfect for getting together with friends.

A private community park and boat launch are just a few blocks walking distance and a parking pass is included. Boat launch requires an additional fee per day of use however not required for kayaks that can be carried to the beach.

The cabin was built in 1970 and still retains many of the charming decorative details of that time period. We love having a lived-in space to relax with our family and friends and we hope you do as well.

Accessibility: This is a 2-story home with the main sleeping areas and full bathroom located on the upper level. Stairs must be used to enter the home from either the front or back door. The community park is located down a short hill from the home, but you can use the provided parking pass to drive down if you would prefer not to walk. We have an additional single room apartment with full bath and kitchen attached to a large gazebo next door as expansion option. Ask about the Gazebo apartment. and it is only rented with the house as an upgrade. Advertised rates are for the main house only, please inquire for extra bed option.

Wireless Internet access and online TV included.
Pets are allowed with some restrictions so that you don't have to leave Fido at home.

Why the Owner Chose Lake Cushman: My family built this cabin to be the summer and winter get away for hiking trips and lake activities. Lake Cushman is a favorite vacation destination for many people as well as a full time home for others because of its unmatched beauty nestled in the Olympic mountains.

Great home base

Great place to stay while going to Olympic National Park. The little town center of Hoodsport was about 30 min away and had a grocery store and cute little coffee shop that we went to most days. Plenty of space and the backyard has an amazing view of the lake.

Great place for families

This is our fourth year renting this lake house and we love it! Great for large families as you can rent the extra gazebo space if needed. The house has everything we need and is within short walking distance to the lake. We love the private beach - it's clean and has a volleyball net which we take full advantage of. The owner is very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Consistently awesome

We have stayed at this property many times in the last 12 years. It is, without fail, clean and comfortable and Corlen is friendly and responsive as a host. Combine that with the natural beauty and quiet of the area and I can't imagine spending my vacation time anywhere else. We look forward to our next visit!

Lake Cushman Get Away

The owner always replied quickly, all instructions where sent by email and the home had the instructions as well and things where labeled. Loved how there was games, movies and wi game for kids. The gazebo was awesome. I would diffidently go back again. The only thing I missed was a fire pit for s’mores.

Dinner club

Overall, stay was wonderful. The plastic chairs that were out on the outside deck had pitch on them. They should have been put away, so that sap was not able to get on them before we were using them. But overall, great space, everything we needed, loved the huge dining room table and the covered gazebo was priceless

Absolutely perfect!

I was on a mission to wrangle all of my siblings across the country to finally get together under one roof---the Lake Cushman cabin was perfect in every way. Gorgeous views, friendly neighbors, & all of the thoughtful essentials you could think of. We rented the gazebo as an addition, which comfortably accommodated the 8 of us. Plenty of games, movies, and activities on site. Not to mention the ease of water access and how close to gorgeous hikes you are here. Couldn't recommend this family rental more!

Had a great time! Super stocked cabin!

Directions were clear. Getting in was easy once my husband figured out the lock box (we are old and dumb, lol). Huge fridge--everything you need is in the kitchen. I would recommend bringing your own non-stick pan, however, if you aren't used to the stainless steel. There was a learning curve for me. TONS of games and books. The upstairs is extra-cool with a family room, big TV, and beautiful windows! The deck situation is amazing! Beds were cozy. My entire family was happy to visit and sad to leave. Thank you for being such a great host, quick to respond to questions, and giving our family a beautiful weekend.

Lake house

Great stay at the lake house. Home was perfect for my two adult children, teenage kid and myself. Good memories were made. Don’t skip out on the nearby staircase trail. It wasn’t even on my list of to dos prior to arriving but was probably my favorite hike in Olympic national park. The house has every accommodation. Great propane grill and we loved eating our meals on the deck.

Family lake vacation / work trip

I was in the area travelling for an extended work trip. We stayed from May 29th through June 23rd, great value for the area. I decided to being my family along for the trip because they were all out of school and work for summer break. We have relocated from the Mason/Kitsap area to Phoenix about 3 years prior and have lots of family and friends in the area. The Family lake House was a good fit for our clan. We also reserved the optional gazebo and loved it. The private lake park, view and neighborhood were all very nice. Corlens place is seg up well fir extended stays and family gatherings. I've rented many VRBO'S and Air-bnb's over the years. Some are well stocked and some are not. Corlens place had an abundance of everthing we needed and stuff we didn't even know we needed. We really appreciate Corlen and his place for allowing us to gather together and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Although it is a little outdated, everthing worked and had a nice homey feel. Took us back to our younger years when things were simpler. The house was more spacious than the pics seemed in the listing. If we ever have the chance we will be happy to stay at the Family Lake Place again. Thank you Corlen!

Amazing Lake Place!

We spent our 2nd Memorial Day at the Family Lake Place and like it so much we brought another family with us to share the experience. The property is perfect for a long, relaxing weekend near Lake Cushman, including lake/park access and all the in-home amenities you’d expect. Corlen is a wonderful and communicative host who ensured we had a great stay. 5/5 stars and already planning our next trip!

A peaceful retreat by Lake Cushman

Our family (two adults and pup) had a relaxing Thanksgiving break at the family lake house! There was everything we needed in the kitchen, lots of cozy spots to read, and easy access to the lake at the neighborhood park. We’d love to come back in the summer with a bigger group!

We are so grateful to Corlen for making our retreat experience extra special. Thank you so much!! We had everything we needed and if we had any extra questions, Corlen was always very responsive and graciously accomodating. The view is beyond incredible. Having such close access to the wonders of the Olympics and Lake Cushman was priceless.

Lovely Cabin

I come to Cushman every summer. My friend and I loved staying at this property due to how close it is to the private park and swim area. The house was so cute and classic. It was VERY hot during our stay but the house had plenty of fans to run to keep us as cool as possible. Love this house and will definitely return.
