Looking for a quiet, romantic getaway or a friends weekend retreat? Come escape to this idyllic lakeside cottage with dreamlike views. The intimate indoor setting boasts a full kitchen, bath, bedroom and living/sleeping space. Picture window views across the cabin showcase both the lake and mountains.  Sleeps up to 3 guests. The private dock offers plenty of spacious outdoor living with entertainment seating, a propane grill, lakeside fire pit, kayak/SUP board and parking for up to two jet skis. 
Revealing one of the best views on the lake, the spacious private dock and remodeled 1928 cottage are uniquely positioned down the hill from the road. Accessing the cottage and dock requires traversing a moderately steep series of steps, natural dirt path and stairs. 
The private dock has plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy the sun and lake activities. There are also two spaces available for parking your own jet skis (a public boat launch is located just down the road). Take a swim or explore the lake on our kayak and SUP board (a few sizes of life jackets are also provided).
The inside cottage space is similiar to a studio, broken up into living and sleeping areas. When you enter the cottage, a fully equipped kitchen (Dishes/utensils/pots/pans provided) is on your right for whipping up snacks and meals. 
There is a small "living area" with a sofa, chair and ottoman. This is the perfect spot to savor your morning cup of 'joe or glass of wine in the evening while gazing out on the magical lake and mountain views. We provide tray tables for eating meals indoors.
 
Behind the sofa is a queen size bed along with a small bedroom off the living area with a double bed (room is separated by curtain from the main living space) sleeping up to 3 guests in total. All bedding and pillows are provided for each bed. 
Next to the room with the double bed is the bath which has a toilet, sink and shower. Towels, soap and shampoo/conditioner are provided.
In the evenings, relax outside in front of the fire while cooking up s'mores and gazing up at the stars. The positioning of the fire pit allows for the feeling of being "on" the water, can't get any closer without getting in! Perfect spot to end the day after day trips and hikes throughout the Olympic National Park. (Burn Ban in effect July 1st to October 1st, outdoor campfires are prohibited during this time.)
The cottage on Lake Sutherland is perfectly situated for visiting Lake Crescent, Hurricane Ridge and Sol Duc. The Pacific Beaches and Hoh Rain Forest are just a couple hours drive from the cottage.
***Things to Note:
To access the lakeside cottage/dock from the road you must hike a moderately steep natural trail leading down the hillside. This trail is a series of steps, natural dirt paths w/roots and several flights of stairs. The trail is also shared with 2 other rental units. This is definitely not for guests with mobility limitations. 
The water supplying the cottage comes from a stream up the hill during the summer and from the lake during the winter. We have UV filters on the taps, however, we do recommend you bring your own bottled water for drinking purposes.
The indoor wood stove in the living space is NOT operational.
The floating trampoline is a shared amenity with neighbors and other rental unit guests and not exclusive to this rental.
A signed rental agreement is required for a completed booking.
