About this property

Rustic Lakefront Cabin with Bonus 'Tree House' - A Place to Unwind

“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home…” John Muir

If you're looking for a place to unplug from technology and experience the beauty of the Olympic National Forest, this cabin is the place for you.

This classic 1950’s lake cabin is nestled in the woods with the Olympic National Park behind it and Lake Sutherland only a few steps out the door. The cabin has all original cedar with huge windows facing the lake, wood beamed ceilings and a cozy wood burning stove. This lakefront property is nestled in a cove, with an impressive deck and dock area.

There are two bedrooms with queen size beds in the main cabin, a bathroom with a shower, and two sofa beds in the living room (a full size bed and a twin bed). There is also a second, private cabin with a queen bed, half bath and deck, that has a tree house feel.

If you like adventures, you will not run out of things to do. The location is a perfect base for so many short trips to Lake Crescent, Hurricane Ridge, Sol Duc hot springs, ocean beaches, the ferry to Victoria, hundreds of hiking trails, and the state's best fly fishing rivers. In the summer, you can swim and kayak on the lake. In the winter, you can ski or inner tube at Hurricane Ridge.

If you like relaxing, you will not want to go anywhere else. The deck is as big as the cabin and has steps into the lake. In the summer, you can swim, kayak or have a campfire. In the fall, you will see gorgeous colors all around. In the winter, you feel like you’re on the lake even when you’re on the couch next to the wood burning stove with a good book or playing games at the table. There is no wi-fi or cable to distract you from being present. Running next to the property is a creek that flows year around.

Please note that the path leading to the cabin is rather steep, and may be difficult for people with mobility issues.

Absolutely beautiful location and a great place to relax and unwind. The lake was spectacular. The cabin and deck and dock were perfect to sit and hang out on. We used it as a jumping off point for Olympic National Park hiking and it was perfect.

A fun stay for my daughter and two young sons. She suggested a humidifier might help with slight damp. A good base for not only lake activities but all those hikes around the Olmpic Peninsula and a day trip to SolDuc Hotsprings. Lovely hosts checked in to make sure our arrival/stay was smooth. Thank you.

Beautiful Olympic lakeside Cabin

The cabin is the perfect place to stay when exploring Olympic National Park. All the main park destinations are around an hour or less drive. The lake is the perfect setting for a relaxing moment on the deck. You can also spend a quiet morning rowing on the lake after a morning coffee. Our 20 year old sons enjoyed having their own sleeping area with the second bedroom and the tree house.

The pictures do not do it justice. The view was outstanding! It was super cozy and we loved having a real fire in the wood burner. If it was for sale I would probably consider buying it!

A cozy little cabin on the lake with a huge dock. Swimming, diving, kayaking! The location on Lake Sutherland puts you a short drive from most of the highlights of Olympic National Park. My family loved our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Haferbecker

Host profile image
We are high school sweethearts who grew up in Kent, Washington. We spent 12 years living in Bellingham, Portland and Philadelphia, pursuing an education, then settled back into the Pacific Northwest in 2011.

In 2014, we welcomed twin boys into our family that already included two boys. We realized that air travel was not in our future, so we started looking for the perfect lake to visit every summer.

Why they chose this property

We found Lake Sutherland and fell in love with the combination of mountains, lake and forest. The next summer, we found this cabin for sale and couldn’t stop ourselves from dreaming. We decided this would be the perfect place to create memories for our family during summer vacations, and many more winter weekends.

What makes this property unique

This 1950’s lake cabin still has all the original detail and coziness while feeling comfortable and clean. It feels private with a boat house on one side and property with a creek on the other side. You feel like you are on the dock when you are inside the cabin.

We love coming here to get away from our busy lives in Tacoma. We spend our time relaxing on the huge deck with a beer, playing board games with our boys, exploring the forest, building campfires, kayaking, swimming and watching movies together. We hope you will find peace here as well.
