The cabin was built in 1970 and still retains many of the charming decorative details of that time period. We love having a lived-in space to relax with our family and friends and we hope you do as well.

Why the Owner Chose Lake Cushman: My family built this cabin to be the summer and winter get away for hiking trips and lake activities.

My family loved staying in this lake house with our two dogs. A private park and boat launch are located 5 minutes away. The park was very spacious and had a good swimming and patio area. We put our kayaks in at the boat launch. Perfect for anyone looking to take their pups to the lake!
Our family (two adults and pup) had a relaxing Thanksgiving break at the family lake house! There was everything we needed in the kitchen, lots of cozy spots to read, and easy access to the lake at the neighborhood park. We’d love to come back in the summer with a bigger group!
We are so grateful to Corlen for making our retreat experience extra special. Thank you so much!! We had everything we needed and if we had any extra questions, Corlen was always very responsive and graciously accomodating. The view is beyond incredible. Having such close access to the wonders of the Olympics and Lake Cushman was priceless.
A wonderful place to stay- great location, great house, well furnished, well supplied, clean, comfy, and well-priced. Owner/manager was easy to communicate with and very supportive. Honestly, what else could you want from a rental?
Overall, stay was wonderful. The plastic chairs that were out on the outside deck had pitch on them. They should have been put away, so that sap was not able to get on them before we were using them. But overall, great space, everything we needed, loved the huge dining room table and the covered gazebo was priceless
We stay at the Family Lake Place every year! We always enjoy our time there and the property accomidates our family perfectly. Between the main house and the gazebo, we can all relax and have space to unwind and come together! See you next year Corlen :)
This is our fourth year renting this lake house and we love it! Great for large families as you can rent the extra gazebo space if needed. The house has everything we need and is within short walking distance to the lake.
We love the private beach - it's clean and has a volleyball net which we take full advantage of.
The owner is very accommodating and easy to work with.
Highly recommend!
I come to Cushman every summer. My friend and I loved staying at this property due to how close it is to the private park and swim area. The house was so cute and classic. It was VERY hot during our stay but the house had plenty of fans to run to keep us as cool as possible. Love this house and will definitely return.
Amazing house tucked away from city hustle and bustle.
Property is in a great location away from the hustle and bustle. We used it as our base camp for seeing the National Parks. We had everything we needed and Corlen always responded quickly if we had questions. Would definitely stay there again!
Great place to stay while going to Olympic National Park. The little town center of Hoodsport was about 30 min away and had a grocery store and cute little coffee shop that we went to most days. Plenty of space and the backyard has an amazing view of the lake.
Loved the property and neighborhood. Tons of character in the cabin and lots of room. We went to do some hiking at ONP and the proximity was great. It’s a gorgeous area and in January very quiet and peaceful. The house has a cozy room with a fireplace for family games and a big room upstairs for movies and games. We loved the retro vibe! We’d love to come back with other family members for a group stay!
This was such a wonderful place to stay! We had a hard time finding a place that would accept 3 dogs but this place was so accommodating! This house literally had everything you could possibly need! Usually we always bring extra kitchen items with us because most places say they have things but they don’t. Not this house! Bring your clothes, some food, and your friends and family and that’s all you need!! I 10/10 recommend and we will return!! The host answers immediately if you need anything.
This was a wonderful place to stay. The house and adjoining areas were perfect! House had all the amenities needed, everything in working order. Sewerage areas in house for kids to play and watch movies or play games. Quiet neighborhood, private beach access which had kids play areas and roped off swimming area. Saw deer during early morning walks. Definitely want to return next summer with a boat!! (Access to boat launch is available as well)
This was our third trip at this property and its just perfect for our family. Comfortable and spacious. We just love the view and the gazebo too! We already booked our dates for next year!
We have returned here for multiple years. The location is great, view from the deck is perfect for morning coffee and an evening beverage. Corlen is a amazing host with quick responses and always kind.
What a cute and fun family lake house! We loved staying here, just a short walk from our family property and the park. Amazing views, peaceful vibe, nostalgic VHS and DVD movies, you can feel the family energy in this house and how many families have enjoyed it. Overall an absolutely perfect house for a family camping trip. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Lake Cushman!
Better than advertised - close to park - perfect for families!
This place was so great! We traveled with a 2, 3, and 5 year old and the space was so great! There were tons of windows for lots of light and all the amenities we could have asked for!
A walk to the private, uncrowded park was only 5 min.
The host was so easy to communicate with and helped us with a change of plans at the last minute. Will likely return. Thank you!
