Great getaway
The host was so kind and thoughtful in our messaging and in the property set up. My family (two adults, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, and 4 mo) and our friends (two adults, 2yr, 1yr) stayed for 4nights. The property was perfect with multiple baby gates, lots of toys for a lot of ages, and some baby gear (playpen and such). Although there isn’t much yard space, it was still perfect for the kids. The walk down to the lake was only about 7-10 minutes… or you could just drive for maybe 2 minutes. The only thing I’d have to say be prepared for is the mattresses.. oh man! The kids didn’t complain about their beds but oh man all the adults were stiff after 4 nights. But honestly it was an amazing house to stay at.

Relaxing Stay by the Lake
This summer we wanted to book a comfy lakeside home we could use as a "basecamp" for outdoorsy fun and this listing absolutely delivered on that dream! The house was extremely comfortable for multiple adults and pups, had many amenities, and was situated in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. Being so close to the Olympic National Forest meant access to plenty of diverse hiking trails while still being close enough to Hoodsport to make grocery shopping and an evening eating out quick! Our hosts were also very communicative giving us plenty of heads up on what to expect when we stayed on the property and clear instructions for checking in and out. Highly recommend this listing!

Beautiful home, great location
This is a beautiful home very close to a variety of activities. Plenty of space for a family to spread out, or get comfortable together. Easy check-in and great communication. Nice that we had access to TV, Netflix etc. Perhaps because we went off-season but a few things fell a bit short for me. First there was no propane for the grill and the grill looked like it hadn't been used for a while (needs cleaning). The host did offer to reimburse us if we went to get the tank refilled. The outdoor firepit was awesome, but had a dozen or so cigarette butts in it - not very appetizing to toast s'mores. Check-out was more stressful for me than usual because we learned after booking that the expectation is that you not only start the towel load wash, but you need to wait until it completes and start the dryer. I have no problem starting a load of wash, but having to wait for it to complete (and not knowing how long that would be) was no fun. Again the home is beautiful but for what we paid I was a bit disappointed with these shortfalls. Good news is should be easy to fix.

House is incredible, as pictured. Location is awesome - we took a short walk to the lake, which was beautiful. House is situated so it feels like you're well in the forest but Hoodsport is just a short drive away. Very quiet here! Danielle was super easy to communicate with and responded very promptly, and she was exceptionally gracious when we had car trouble trying to leave. Could not ask for a better host! Would definitely rent again!

We enjoyed our stay. We had small children in our group so we bought an adjustable baby gate for the top of the stairs which we left there in case you are in the same situation. Lovely, quiet neighborhood. Small store close by, but went to Shelton for most of our groceries--about a 25 minute drive. Lake Cushman just gorgeous!

Lovely home with wonderful lake access!
The home was very lovely with every amenity you could want. The beach and swimming area is an easy walk away. As a permit is needed for that area, that part of the lake wasn’t too crowded, even during an August weekend. The communication with the owner was absolutely fantastic. 4 nights went by in a blink, it felt like we had just arrived when we were leaving! Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Stunning Lake Retreat
This lovely home was a very comfortable retreat for a family gathering of five adults and two small children. The lake was a short walk and was simply breathtaking. The common area at the lake includes a lovely playground, barbecue area and plenty of beach. The home was very warm and inviting as well as spotlessly cleaned. The best were comfortable, kitchen well appointed, and a really relaxing outdoor space with fire pit. Definitely well taken care of home and the hosts were great to work with. We hiked some lovely spots nearby including beautiful staircase. Great location for many gorgeous hiking destinations.
