About this property

Stay at the best spot on the lake!

Spacious and bright, with large decks, beautiful views, and easy parking! At 1400 sq feet, it is perfect for small or large gatherings!

Located on the sunny side of the lake and just minutes to Highway 101 (the gateway to the greatest attractions of the Olympic National Park), lies the perfect base for your family's Pacific Northwest vacation: this delightfully comfortable 1400 sq ft 2 bedroom home!

Most homes on Lake Sutherland you have to hike down rickety stairs covered in slime and moss, hoping you won't slip and fall, to reach your home away from home. Not here!  Parking is just a few feet from your door.

Imagine relaxing with 180 degrees of beautiful lake and mountain views on the 500 sq ft deck, perhaps lounging in the amazing hot tub, recalling your adventures after a fun day spent at Hurricane Ridge or Sol Duc Hot Springs, planning an exciting hike through the Hoh Rainforest, or enjoying that book you finally have time to read!

The stunning views can just as easily be enjoyed inside, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows in a gorgeous vaulted living room with rock fireplace. The airy and bright great room design also includes a full-sized kitchen stocked with dishes, cutlery, and cookware, and a dining area that seats 8.

Completing the main floor is a private bedroom with a comfortable king bed and ample closet space, as well as a full bathroom with a tub and shower, and a laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer. 

Upstairs is a spacious, separate bedroom with two double beds and a half bath, as well as a loft area with another double bed, plus a kids play area, and more of those terrific views!

Enjoy the pure northwest air and majestic scenery when you sit out with your family and friends on the huge main floor deck, or cool off by diving into the lake from the 250 sq ft lower deck.

Yet another place to enjoy the view: relaxing in our hot tub! Seating for six, and overlooking the lake. Step easily from the extended deck into the hot tub!

We genuinely care about each of our guests! We have heard from you, that in the height of summer the house can get very hot in the afternoon. We are very happy to say that we have installed air conditioning, which keeps the house very comfortable! We have also added a double toaster, electric coffee bean grinder, a blender, and baking pans!

Another great amenity is cable TV with NFL package and access to your Netflix account, as well as WiFi! Enjoy your well-deserved down time by cheering on your favorite team and catching up on your shows. TVs are placed in the living room and in the downstairs bedroom!

Additionally, to enhance your stay, we have a stand up paddleboard and a canoe, fishing poles, boogie boards, and oodles of life jackets, in sizes from infant to adult! We have had such fun exploring the lake, and we know you will too!

Whether you are exploring all that the Olympic National Park offers, or you just want to live lake side for spell and soak in the splendor, this house is the perfect place to be!

Wonderful base for Olympic NP

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! It is a beautiful location and a great place to explore the Olympic peninsula from. We loved spending time on the deck overlooking the lake (saw a bald eagle most days!), relaxing in the hot tub and taking the canoe out. It was nice for the kids to have their own space upstairs. The online description was very accurate and we had everything we needed during our stay (and, enjoyed our freshly ground coffee on the deck each morning). Highly recommend!

Perfect Getaway

The stay went super. The house was clean and cozy and the kitchen was fully supplied with pots, pans, utensils. Communication with the host was instant. We did not have any issues at all getting into the property. This is definitely a perfect place on the lake. Huge plus it was dog friendly.

Tranquil Getaway with a Dose of Freedom Birds

What a stunning setting! We had an absolute amazing time. Relaxing in the hot tub or inside enjoying our coffee and watching the bald eagles in the morning was magnificent. This home was so well stocked and much appreciated! We had a blast canoeing even though it is January! The home is located in a great location with easy access for meals and close to Olympia National Park.

Great location on the lake and for exploring the Olympic Peninsula

Communication with hosts was terrific. We enjoyed the hot tub immensely. This is a pretty great location to be a base for exploring the Olympic Peninsula, which is BIG so you will still do a lot of driving. We have lived in WA 20 years and finally made it out to Neah Bay, Cape Flattery, Shi Shi beach -- all gorgeous.

Gorgeous View

My family and I LOVED staying here! Absolutely beautiful views all around. During the day we saw bald eagles, fish, ducks and geese. At night the stars were mesmerizing. The house was clean, stocked with all the essentials, and had huge windows so you could see all of the lake and mountains. My 5 year old said he loved the sugar cubes and thank you so much!!

Magnificent Views

The views are unbeatable and the location is perfect to explore the nearby mountains and lakes. The hot tub was the perfect way to end the day after exploring. I can only imagine the views in the summer time (compared to the middle of March). The house itself was comfortable with a fully stocked kitchen. It could use some updating, but was still cozy. We can’t wait to come back and continue exploring!

Beautiful lake house

We really enjoyed this wonderful house. The location is perfect for exploring the park and then returning to relax on the deck (And watch the pair of eagles across the lake). The lake was so quiet, even in July. We used the paddle board and kayaks to explore. My teens loved the hot tub after swimming in the lake. The owners thought of every detail. I would return in a heartbeat.

The view!

This location is beautiful. The sunrise and sunset are incredible. My husband and boys fished every evening, caught some trout. The water is so clear and blue. We saw a pair of bald eagles every day. They have everything you need while you're in the area: fishing poles, camp chairs, coolers, life vests, beach towels. Very well appointed. Some of the Roman shades weren't working or were missing and they really are needed because the big windows face south. Luckily, the nights got cool and they have many fans. Overall a great place to stay.

Wonderful!

We loved every minute of our stay in this cabin. The cabin was roomy and comfortable with all the amenities we needed. It was hard to leave to go anywhere bc it was such a nice place and plenty to do right there. The view of the lake was stunning and we could not have been happier with our stay. The deck and dock were perfect for enjoying views of the lake, swimming, paddleboarding, floating, canoeing, just fabulous! We also loved the hot tub. It was very hot while we were there but the ac made a big difference and as soon as the sun went below the mountains the house quickly cooled off and was very comfortable for sleeping. We really appreciated the paddleboard, kayaks and canoe as well. This place is just wonderful 10/10 and we feel so grateful we could stay here. Thank you!

Partially vacuumed, found coffee grounds in still dirty coffee maker.No hangers in the closet.There used to be better and more varied boats for use. This time there was an inflatable boat and a canoe. If like me you do are uncomfortable in a canoe or don't trust inflatables, byo boat.Toys laying all around the cabin.Bathroom floor dangerously slick in socks (dry floor).Only one bed was quality.No curtains on the massive windows and many broken or missing blinds.

About the host

Hosted by Jesse & Kelsi

Host profile image
We are so excited to share our home with you! Our favorite things to do when we stay at the lake are paddleboard, swim, have BBQs, and feed the resident duck family! In the winter we love a roaring fire, board games, and enjoying the tranquil, refreshing views! The hot tub is wonderful year-round! We hope you enjoy our home and the Olympic Peninsula as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Outstanding, unmatched views, and unique for having three key features that are rare for homes on Lake Sutherland: direct and easy lake access, ample parking right at the door, and sun ALL DAY. There isn't any other property available on Lake Sutherland like ours! In addition, we have a six-person, private hot tub!

There is plenty of space in our home for gatherings, and yet it is still inviting for intimate retreats.

This house is absolutely perfect for a getaway! Come stay and make marvelous memories!
