About this property

The perfect place for a private romantic get away. Pet friendly too!

Ellie’s Lake house has a unique location surrounded by 270 degrees of water on one of the cleanest fresh water lakes in the Pacific Northwest. The carefully thought out architecture of the cabin provides you with a beautiful view of the water out of any window you chose. Your lakeside deck provides the perfect spot to watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee or stargaze at night with the beverage of your choice. There are plenty of activities to choose from. You can go for a swim, take the canoe, kayaks, pedal boat, or SUP boards out (all supplied) for a little jaunt around the lake. If your lucky you may get to see the pair of eagles hunting or playing on the water. On land you may want to take the two beach cruisers out for a ride through the friendly neighborhood, or go for a walk. If you have your boaters license, bring your own motor boat and water ski, wake board or tube! If you fish, don't forget to bring your fishing pole because Lost Lake is considered to be one of the best bass and trout-fishing lakes in western Washington. With a 30 foot shelf only 25 feet off the bulkhead, Ellie's Lake house is the best spot on the lake to fish 365 days a year! If your trout has a blue tag attached to it's fin it is a winning derby fish!!! You win a PRIZE! You can relax on the cozy furniture and read a book, play a board game or construct a puzzle. There is a fire pit to roast marshmallows and commune around as well as a private hot tub to enjoy anytime of day.

If you're in the mood to explore, there are plenty of fun things to check out close by! The historic city of Shelton only 20 minutes away. The quaint little salt water towns of Hoodsport or Union are just up hyway 101 with winery's, dining, and gift shops that make for a fun little day trip. The Skyline drive in is close by for an old fashioned drive in movie during the summer months! The Little Creek Casino is a 25 minute drive with all the casino fun you may desire along with an 18 hole championship golf course at the Salish Cliffs Golf Club. Ocean Shores is an hour and twenty minute drive to the west. If you enjoy hiking there are some amazing hikes within a short drive as well. If you're visiting in the month of December make sure to check out CHRISTMASTOWN USA
for some small town Christmas cheer!
There is plenty to do and see but good luck wanting to leave the magic of Ellie’s once you arrive. 😉 This cabin truly is a lakeside oasis where good times are had and memories are made.

This cabin is not a place to party. It is our vacation home that we take great pride in sharing with people like you who love and respect it the same way we do. It is best suited for couples looking for a private romantic getaway.

Life is better by the lake!

The house was bright and inviting. My reason for the 4 star review for cleanliness of the property is because the outside furniture looked dirty and the table was sticky but the view was amazing.

Amazing time at the Lake

This is the second time we've stayed at the lake house on Lost Lake. After the first time, there was no question where I wanted to spend my birthdays. Even in November when it's too cold to swim, staying at this cozy Lake house is the best! Lisa makes the place feel so comfortable, with so many little touches that make you feel right at home. Sitting by the wood stove, listening to the rain hit the roof, and watching the water all around you refreshes your soul. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a place to relax with friends or family. It's so beautiful and bringing our pups is such a huge bonus! Lisa made them feel so welcomed as well!

Wonderful cabin!

Ellie's Lake House was incredible. The decor was beautiful and the main bed was super comfortable! There were many small touches by the host that made it even more special such as cookies for baking in the fridge, chocolates on the pillows, fresh non fragrant flowers and greenery placed in the rooms, and so much more. There were lake craft provided to use, but mostly I enjoyed the beautiful, peaceful sunrise on the lake. <3 10/10 would come back again!

The perfect setting for a perfect honeymoon

My husband and I booked the lake house a year in advance for our honeymoon. We only got married 2 days before we headed to Washington (from Arizona), so we were exhausted as much as we were excited. And the moment we arrived to the lake house was the most relaxing surrender we could have imagined!!! From the very start, Lisa has been so helpful and responsive- such an incredible host. The house, the amenities, the lake, and everything in between was just wonderful. It truly was the perfect setting for our first week as a married couple, even if we left to go adventure for most of our stay lol Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us, and for allowing us to stay an entire week in one of the most serene and calming environments. We may be back if you’ll have us!

The Best Lake Getaway!

The time at this lake house was remarkable and we had zero complaints. Every moment from pre-booking to booking, Lisa was responsive and a pleasure to work with. The property was as expected. Waking up close to the lake every morning was a dream! The house had everything we needed to enjoy time cooking outside and using the lake. We will be back!

Birthday getaway

This cabin was very clean and decorated beautifully! Our stay was absolutely perfect. The host thought of everything and even had a small birthday cake in the fridge for us to celebrate upon arrival. She was very helpful and responsive and honestly the best host and rental we have experienced thus far! The lake was stunning and we caught a few trout right off of the dock. We will definitely be back! Thank you for your attention to detail and hospitality!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa O'Gorman

Host profile image
My name is Lisa and my partner's name is Shawn. We met later in life and fell in love. We have both been married previously.... we were actually both married to other people on the same exact day!! Crazy! We love to hike, ride motorcycles, dirt bikes, camp, boat, SUP board, and pretty much anything on the water or outdoors. All our children are all grown so we wanted to find a place to call our own. Ellie's lake house was it!

Why they chose this property

We have always loved and admired Ellie's lake house from afar. When a friend informed us that it might be coming on the market, we jumped at the opportunity to purchase it! It is the perfect spot for us because it has everything we love to do close by! Ellie's Lake house is in the middle of it all! This place is truly magical for us! We hope you will love it as much as we do!

BTW.... Ellie was our very sweet black Labrador retriever!

What makes this property unique

If you are an outdoor type of person, Ellie's Lake House is the perfect spot! Located directly on Lost lake, in a friendly quaint, and quiet neighborhood with lots of water outdoor activities nearby. Of course if all you want to do is relax, the cabin is perfect for that too! We are just far enough away from everything to feel like we are on vacation, but close enough that if we need something we can make a quick run to town.

One of my favorite things about the cabin is that when you lay in bed on a clear night you can see the stars through the upper windows and when it rains you can hear it tapping on the sky lights. It's like camping in your luxurious bedroom!
