My sister and I had a great time staying here for about a week. The place was just like the pictures and the lake was gorgeous! Clean home and setup. The checkin process was a bit confusing as there didn’t seem to be clear instructions. It felt like we had to piece parts together. The checkout expectations were fine but not clearly stated all together in their provided book for the property. We still managed to do fine but more clear details would have helped. We’d still come back!
Had a perfect 4 night stay at Lake Sutherland! Beautiful property, clean, great location and many amenities! Perfect for two couples. We could easily head toward Forks or Port Angeles and Hurricane Ridge. Safe, gated community and great communication. Smooth process from start to finish! We truly enjoyed the beauty of the lake and the well equipped home base! Thanks for a great stay!
This home was wonderful, had everything you needed and the view was AMAZING!! I would recommend this home over and over and we hope to be able to come back and stay again because we will surely miss this place!
Thank you for the wonderful stay and for being such friendly, flexible and responsive hosts. We had an amazing time. The house is beautiful and in the most incredible location. We appreciated being on such a beautiful lake and so convenient for everything we wanted to do in Olympic NP. Hope to stay again some time. Thanks for having us!

From start to finish this was a top-notch vacationing experience! The pictures are just like what you'll get when you visit this property. The house is beautifully maintained, right on the sunny side of the lake, fully stocked with everything you'll need for a pleasant stay, and the fish were biting right off the dock for the grandkids to enjoy. It was a vacation that we will cherish for years to come and we'll certainly be back! Working with the owners was super easy and professional, as well. 10 out of 10 recommend!
House was beautiful and clean, very well stocked. Views were amazing! Two of my kids slept on the couches and thought they were very comfy. Kids absolutely loved diving off the little floating dock and loved the hot tub. My 10 year old cried when it was time to go because she wanted to stay forever! We stayed in July and the weather was sunny and perfect. Coming from the Midwest, the lack of mosquitoes was amazing. The only minor thing we didn’t like was how loud the bed with the wooden posts is when someone gets out of it. It startled me awake every time my husband got up to go to the bathroom but in no way did it ruin our stay. We would absolutely love to come back to stay here someday!
Amazing place on the OP! Perfect location for touring the Park, and avoiding the bustle of Lake Crescent. 3 night stay but would have added more if we had known. Well quipped for cooking meals and then enjoying a lakeside fire with friends. Very secure and quiet in the evenings, and in beautiful surroundings. Recommend!

Everything was good. The house looks just like at the pictures.
This house is very nice, very clean, and very well equipped. It has a wonderful covered porch looking out over Lake Sutherland, and easy access to the water. There are also kayaks and paddles, making an excursion onto the lake very doable (and I highly recommend it). The location is also just a short drive to the Spruce RR trail, and the Crescent Lake trails and lodge. Really hard to beat!
The pictures and description are 100% accurate! We stayed at Ron & Andrea's home on Lake Sutherland for 3 nights we did not want to leave for the 2nd half of our trip! While we were there we were able to see the aurora borealis! I have pictures I'd love to share with the owners if that's possible. The beautiful colors above their home were spectacular!
This is one of those properties that is better than advertised. The view of the lake and mountains across the lake were perfect when enjoying morning coffee or afternoon cocktail. Fully equipped with kayaks and paddle boards, and probably other stuff we didn't get to. The kitchen is fully equipped. Just an overall great experience. Oh, and if you're a Twilight fan, don't miss Forks!
We enjoyed spending New Years at Lake Sutherland! There is a lot to do nearby even in the winter, and the house is lovely. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evening and watching the fog roll in and out of the lake. The house is very well outfitted and was great for two couples. We all thought the beds were comfortable, too. Our only issue was that the water tasted heavily of chlorine, but we would still stay here again. If you are deciding where to stay, and this is available: do not hesitate and book!
Great property and view from the back deck. all the amenities you would need, close to both sides of Olympic National Park.

About the host
Hosted by Ron & Andrea Gilles
The Lake house has been in our family since 2003 allowing both of our children to enjoy the summers on the lake. It's been a favorite getaway for my wife and I on the weekends during the winter months to enjoy the peacefulness of the lake. Also a favorite place for our family to enjoy the Holidays - Thanksgiving & Christmas - the more snow the better! One Christmas our son Brendon snowboarded off the roof of the garage, we had so much snow! Our main home is in Sequim, WA just 45 minutes away so it is a quick getaway. I personally enjoy the Hot Tub at night under the amazing stars that out on a clear night or in the morning with a cup of coffee at while gazing at snow line on Mt. Storm King on the South side of the lake. Lake Sutherland from our deck has been described by a friend as 'just like being on Lake Como in Italy'! The Lake house is on the Sunny Side of the Lake, so it's very enjoyable year round.
Why they chose this property
Family memories and my Father-in-law wanted his grand kids to expierence growing up on a lake. Because he grew up on Lake Washington in Seattle. Personal Birthday parties with live bands down at the Maple Grove community docks.
What makes this property unique
Swimming at midnight under the stars, waterskiing, fishing, powerboating and wine & cheese boat cruising, hiking on the Spruce Railroad Trail at Lake Crescent or Marymere Falls. Enjoying a faboulous hamburger at the Lake Crescent Lodge.
