The place was overall very nice! We loved having 2 working fireplaces. We made frequent use of them. The house was cozy, the beds were comfy. We loved how close it is Lake Cushman and Olympic National Park. One of the neighbors was also very friendly and helpful. He feeds deer every day and let us feed them, too. We've never been close enough to touch a live deer. It was amazing!!

Communication with the owner was lightning fast and accurate and helpful. This home was very comfortable. I would not say “luxurious” as the listing stated, but the location was wonderful and we had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. We were greeted within minutes of arrival by a friendly neighbor, Dennis. Dennis is a national treasure and should be protected at all costs! He tends several herds of deer and offered us some apples to feed them. The deer lend a cozy quaintness. This location is quiet and tucked away, but close to the lake and trails. We used the available kayaks along with our SUPs to paddle to lake with some friends. Staircase rapids trail ONP is ~20 minutes away and there are many other great hiking opportunities within a half hour drive. The home was well equipped with kitchen items, a gas grill and gas fire pit. WiFi worked seemlessly our entire stay. Overall this was a great home for our vacation!

The pros: Great location close to park and boat launch. Nice, quiet neighborhood. The cabin is very cozy and all the windows bring in gorgeous light and beautiful views. The beds were awesome! So comfortable! The cons: BBQ was not connected to the hardline so unable to use, as we had no tools to hook up. That changed our dinner plans drastically. Could not use the outside fire pit because all the propane tanks were empty. There were no patio chairs/furniture or table outside. The ping pong paddles were broken (except one) but no ping pong balls anyway, so that was disappointing as well.

No complaints! Very nice place and would stay here again.

We loved being walking distance from the lake and a short drive from hiking destinations such as Mt Ellinor and Big Creek. The house had everything we needed for meal prep. After long days of exploring it was great to wind down with some board games, ping pong, and Netflix. Also fun to watch does and fawns cruise by during the evenings. The washer and dryer are fast and large capacity. Skokomish Park is a short drive for renting kayaks and standup paddle boards (the property has 2 kayaks but we didn't have a way to transport them to the lake). Only thing we'd change is that we wished there wasn't so much pet hair, especially in the daylight basement. Otherwise, highly recommend.

We had an overall OK stay at this cabin. Great location on a private lake. The house itself was far from luxurious as described. There were lots of repairs that need to be done inside and out and it wasn’t very clean. There were no comfortable chairs to sit on outdoors. In fact the two that were there had holes in the seats making them unusable! You will need to bring all of accessories a house usually stocks such as salt, zip loc bags, tinfoil, kleenex, tupperware and a hamper as they don’t stock those items. I would definitely stay at this lake again but just choose a different house to stay in.

We booked this stay hoping for a secluded lake experience. The house is spacious and near the lake, however we encountered a few problems during our stay. Be aware that you must screenshot check in code in advance of driving there as service is limited around the property and you will not be able to access your email. When we first arrived, there was a sewer smell coming from the water, and the owner indicated that the house had not had an occupant for a while. The smell improved after running the water for a while. We did find dishes still in the dishwasher, clothes in the dryer, and human and pet hair in the bedding leading us to believe the house was not fully cleaned prior to us checking in. There is an RV parker close to the house, and because of the large windows it doesn’t feel very private when guests are there. Positives of the place included that it was very spacious, close to Staircase trail, and deer were in the yard.

Happy space!
