Lakefront Cabin w/ Dock • Boat Launch Nearby • Swim, Fish, Grill & Chill • WiFi

Welcome to your peaceful lakefront cabin on Summit Lake, just 20 minutes from Olympia. This one-room hideaway offers a private dock, full kitchen, and direct water access for swimming, boating, fishing, and relaxing. Ideal for writers, couples, and anyone needing a quiet nature reset, this property is available for short, exclusive stays.

The cabin sleeps up to 2 adults on two comfortable fold-flat sofas with soft linens and pillows provided. There is a dining area, Roku smart TV, and a cozy layout that works well for one or two people. A window air conditioner is installed from June and August to keep the space cool and comfortable. Minimum stay is 2 nights; maximum stay is 2 nights.

The full kitchen includes an oven, stovetop, microwave, fridge, and cookware. Whether you're grilling outside or cooking indoors, you’ll have what you need to prepare anything from casual meals to gourmet dishes. The deck features a BBQ grill and table for two. At the water’s edge, enjoy the picnic table, lawn chairs, and fire pit for outdoor meals or sunset lounging. Guests are welcome to bring dry wood for the fire.

Boaters are welcome. You may launch your small boat or kayak at the nearby public boat ramp and tie it up at your private dock just steps from the cabin. For your convenience, a two-person kayak is available on site for guest use. Swim or fish right from the dock, or simply relax with your morning coffee over the water.

Lovely and quaint

Cozy weekend getaway!

This cozy cabin was an ideal place to stay during our visit for a mountain bike race. We had a restful sleep, enjoyed plenty of fishing, and savored the peaceful ambiance among the trees with stunning views. The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, making our experience even better!

It was a great location for our family reunion since the other cabin I rented cancelled last minute! Easy entry and beautiful views! Pull out couches were a little rough for me but not my younger kiddo! Rustic and cozy!

2nd stay won’t be the last

Love this cabin and the location does much that I came back the next time I visited Olympia. It’s exceedingly comfortable and quiet. Perfect for not doing anything or filling your time with hiking, swimming or kayaking and/or a little of both—see you next summer!

Lake place with Tree house vibe

This lovely little cabin has all the quaintness of the old style lake cabins but is completely set up with everything you’ll need for a relaxed stay. The view is stunning and the quiet and comfort was just what I needed. I brought my elderly Mom out for the day to get her out of COVID isolation. She had no difficulty with the 5 stairs from the road and was content to sit in the deck for the day and take in the view.

A lovely rainforest retreat

I was visiting Olympia to see a sick family member, and my friend and I stayed here for just a single night. The hosts were very friendly and responsive when we discovered the water hadn’t been turned on, but we were the first guests of the season, so we understood. It’s a terrific little hamlet on a lovely and clear lake. We used the two-person kayak and it was absolutely lovely. The lakeside fire pit was also very nice. We didn’t use the outdoor shower, yet did use the adorable stove and oven for tea and quiche, and it was a lovely and memorable meal. Highly recommended this little gem of a cabin. Many thanks to our wonderful hosts.

A grown-up treehouse on a lake

Lovely cabin getaway, in the trees, overlooking a beautiful lake. Great for solo or couple travellers. Optimal use of the incinerating toilet does require some planning.

Great place to stay

We had a fantastic time. The cabin was cute, cozy, and very comfortable. We had a great time sitting out on the balcony playing cards with the beautiful view of the lake. We would definitely stay again
