The perfect spot for your family reunion or multi-family retreat, with room for 4 families to spread out comfortably and the most fully stocked kitchen you've ever rented.

UPDATE ON SUMMER RENTALS: Because summers have been booking up 2 years in advance, we are trying something different. For 2022 and beyond, we are accepting only 6-night rentals, Saturday to Friday, for the summer rental season (June through Labor Day). If not all weeks are booked by spring, we will open up shorter booking options.

We have traveled the world and decided this is our favorite place to vacation with our kids. The house itself is not fancy, but is laid out to accommodate 4+ separate families and their kids, or at least 5 couples. It is well equipped for our favorite activities including cooking, paddling, and enjoying cozy time with the family. You’ll find high chairs, kid dishes, toys, floaties, pack-n-plays, games, life jackets, and other items we stock for a weekend away with our own small kids.

The hot tub is located on the front patio with a lake view!

Lake Sutherland is the perfectly located home base for your trip to the Olympic Peninsula. Port Angeles is less than a 20 minute drive away, with restaurants, bars and coffee shops. The northwest coast is less than an hour drive to the west, with hiking and breathtaking pacific beaches. The lake itself is clear, clean, great for swimming, boating and fishing. In the summer the water can reach 68 to 70 degrees.

If you have visited this lake, you’ll know that most of the shoreline is steep, where staircases lead down from cabins perched on the hillside. This house is different. The gradual lawn stretches right to the water’s edge. Also, because it is situated on the north side of the lake, it gets full sun from morning until late afternoon in the summer, and is protected from north, east, and most importantly west wind. Even on the shortest day of the year, this house may get a bit of afternoon sunlight when the rest of the lake is in shade for several months. Shadow Mountain General Store is walking distance with ice, burgers, basic groceries and gas.

Your rental includes three separate buildings. It is great for family reunions because you can have a baby in almost every bedroom and they won’t wake each other up. The main house has two large bedrooms with adjacent sitting areas and private entrances. Queen suite also contains a full hide a-bed couch. Facing the lake, it has the best view in the house. Master bedroom has a king size bed, private bath, and sitting area with a fold down single couch. Third smaller bedroom in the main house has a full size bed along with a its own door adjacent to the bathroom. Fully equipped kitchen and dining room makes cooking for large groups easy. Laundry room has an extra stove/oven and refrigerator for those larger crowds. Great room has comfortable furnishings, plenty of kids toys and books, a pellet stove (with a baby gate if you need it) and wide screen TV, with a sliding door to patio.

Detached bunk house has pool table, air hockey, foosball and games also includes 4 bunks, futon and ½ bath. Bunk house queen bedroom is located here as well, and is mobility accessible with a full bath. Studio unit, the “Nautical Nest”, is also included, separate from the main house, which has an open floor plan with kitchen and separate bathroom.

Plenty of outdoor fun is awaiting you here with horse shoe pit, croquet, and large fenced yard to spread your wings while also enjoying the eagles spreading theirs. Kayaks, paddle boards, pedal boats, and a canoe are available for your use. The property features amazing privacy - it is bordered by trees all the way to your own private dock. The water is about 6 feet deep off the end of the dock, deep enough to dive right in and clear enough to snorkel. This is the perfect place for multi-family use, reunions, bridal showers, small intimate gatherings, outdoor bbq, outdoor firepit, and plenty of lawn furniture and relaxing areas while you soak up the sun or enjoy the covered porch in the shade with a book.
