About this property

Mountain Retreat at Lake Cushman

Relax and enjoy life at Lake Cushman in this spacious vacation home. This retreat boasts views of Lake Cushman, Mt. Rose and Mt. Ellinor.

There's plenty of room for the family with 3 sleeping areas, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room, a full kitchen and a small game room. All 3 sleeping areas have queen size beds. Both bathrooms have stand-up shower stalls. The bathroom on the main floor has a stacked washer and dryer.

Enjoy your morning coffee and take in the view of the Olympic Mountains on the master bedroom balcony. The beautiful, updated kitchen has everything you need: new, stainless-steel appliances, toaster, microwave, crock pot, Keurig coffee maker, dishes, silverware, pots & pans, cookware and bakeware. Cook outdoors on the propane grill and eat alfresco on the large deck that sports a partial view of the lake and remote-controlled awning.

After a day of playing on the lake, make memories telling stories and roasting marshmallows around a campfire in the fire pit. Challenge friends to boardgames in the game room in the loft or a rousing game of foosball in the garage. Need to check in with the office while on vacation? Take advantage of the computer desk and task chair in the daylight basement while enjoying a view of the mountains. Our retreat has plenty of parking with both a carport and parking space in front of the garage.

Excellent stay so close to the lake

We had a wonderful stay in this property that's an easy walk to Lake Cushman! Clean place with comfortable beds, beautiful deck, firepit, and a little view of the lake. We enjoyed hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding nearby and grilling and lounging around the firepit at night. Thank you for a great stay!

Excellent place

This home was exceedingly comfortable and clean. Our family felt so relaxed during our stay because this home and comfortable furniture, a great floor plan and the hosts seemed to have thought of everything. The park was just about a third of a mile away so this made swimming super easy. We will definitely come back!

Perfect for a family get away. Clean and well maintained. Clear and quick communication. Great place to hunker down in the winter away from phones/internet. Foosball and other games were a hit. No doubt summers here would be incredible as well. Thank you Joni and Brian!

Perfect!

We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a week (away from the Phoenix heart). This was perfect. The owners think of everything and the house is well maintained. We were greeted with deer in three driveway upon our arrival, and it just got better fromm there. Unbelievable beauty. Best vacation I've had in years.

Lakeside summer getaway

The location of this gem is perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed all that there was to offer in the close by lake access. The home is beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking. We enjoyed the local deer and squirrels. One thing to note is that the basement is a bit musty. Dehumidifier was provided, but it needed a bit of airing out each evening.

Wonderful House and Location!

Our family of 5, 2 parents and 3 teens/young adults, had an amazing 4th of July weekend stay here. Loved the location within the Lake Cushman district, as it is in between the the primary parks/boat launches. Neighborhood is quiet and peacrful (aka no fireworks going off at all hours). Easy walks, or drives, to both. The house had everything we needed and is stocked with all the amenities for BBQ'ing, evening fires in the pit with marshmellow roasting sticks, life jackets for boating, camping chairs for the beach, etc. Also, it was a HOT weekend of weather. The house stays relatively cool, especially with the windows open in the evening. Joni, the host, is great! Very proactive on letting us know about parking passes and permits for using the lake, and was very responsive to my messages and questions. The community had lots of fun activities for the holiday weekend that we were able to participate in, and the lake was really refreshing with the hot weather. We've already booked our stay for next year!

Great stay

House has everything you need. We were gone most days from sunrise to sunset. Was nice to get back to a cozy quiet place. If you hit a sunny day take a drive to Hurricane Ridge or Mt Rainier. Also don’t miss Salmon cascades if salmon are running. Well worth the drive. Head down to the lake and watch the sunset to end your day. Joni was quick to respond to any of our questions.

Each year the 3 sisters plan a trip. We have traveled in state, out of state and out of the country. This year at Lake Cushman was fabulous. So many hiking opportunities, the lake for paddle boarding and kayaking, the friendliness of the people and the quiet.

Summer vacation 2023

The property is located on a quiet cul de sac in one of the popular subdivisions. It has a beautiful view of the mountains and a partial view of the lake across the street. I enjoyed the view from the deck with my morning coffee. The house is very comfortable, clean and accomodated all of us nicely,(2 grandma's, adult daughter, and another daughter with her partner and 4 year old and 10 month old baby and a small dog) with the master bedroom & bath upstairs, the bedroom on the main level and the full size bed in the basement. The community park is close by with a boat launch and play equipment. We enjoyed a hike at Staircase, which is close by too and the kayaks. The owners were excellent with communication before and during our stay. We really appreciated the gas grill, especially when the power went out for a full day.in the subdivision. The neighbors were friendly and helpful too. We enjoyed watching the deer come through the area too.

About the host

Hosted by Joni and Brian McAnally

Host profile image
We fell in love with Lake Cushman during our first visit there in 2009. We bought the lot next door to the Mountain Retreat at Lake Cushman in 2011 and would stay in our fifth wheel trailer on the RV pad. We purchased the house in 2018. We have made a lot of great family memories here and hope you and your family will do the same.
