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.

Gorgeous spot!

This place is absolutely stunning, cozy and comfortable. Perfect for unwinding; amazing location. I highly recommend taking the kayak out on the lake and heading to Granny's Cafe for dinner (4 min away). Would stay here again for sure.

Will stay again

Absolutely loved this home. Driveway access and pathway to the house are very steep, so plan for that. Once you get to the home it is absolutely beautiful. Although you are surrounded by homes you feel very secluded and private. Felt homey and comfortable. The kayaks are very easy to access and the lake is perfect for kayaking.

Amazing home!

We had a wonderful weekend visiting with friends! The home was clean, had a spacious deck on the water, and plenty of room for 3 couples. The location is perfect for visiting Olympic National Park, Port Angeles, or just hanging out at the lake. Kitchen was well stocked and the kayaks were great. Thank you!

The Lake Life!

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.

What a special cabin!

There is something about this home and this spot that makes your blood pressure drop the minute you arrive. We loved our family time here, and it's a fantastic jumping-off spot from numerous ONP hikes and attractions. Most notable: super helpful hosts, quality, comfy beds and linens, unbeatable views from the deck, well-equipped kitchen and great spot to cook together, LOTS of blankets ... we loved sitting outside with the blankets and our early am coffee watching the fog roll over the lake. Thank you for sharing your cozy cabin, Jenny & Dustin.

Staycation fir my 60th Birthday

This was our second year doing staycation. We love having the separate tree house. Owners are very quick to answer questions. Kids & I love the diving board & huge deck outside. Costs going up next year, but hoping we can work out to make it a 3rd year

Wonderful waterfront cabin

We had another wonderful visit packed with memory making for our family. This was our fifth year here and our daughter was proposed to on the dock! Very special, indeed. The property owners are wonderful communicators and everything is as advertised. We took multiple hikes, bike rides, swims, s’mores, movies, and board games! Looking forward to coming back again.

Great Lake house

This was our 2nd time renting this spot. The house is great. The extra tree house was perfect for our teen girls. Proximity to the water is perfect. There is a slightly steep walk down from the car to the house, but once you're unpacked, you're set. Would recommend

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.
