About this property

Rustic Lakefront Cabin with Bonus 'Tree House' - A Place to Unwind

“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home…” John Muir

If you're looking for a place to unplug from technology and experience the beauty of the Olympic National Forest, this cabin is the place for you.

This classic 1950’s lake cabin is nestled in the woods with the Olympic National Park behind it and Lake Sutherland only a few steps out the door. The cabin has all original cedar with huge windows facing the lake, wood beamed ceilings and a cozy wood burning stove. This lakefront property is nestled in a cove, with an impressive deck and dock area.

There are two bedrooms with queen size beds in the main cabin, a bathroom with a shower, and two sofa beds in the living room (a full size bed and a twin bed). There is also a second, private cabin with a queen bed, half bath and deck, that has a tree house feel.

If you like adventures, you will not run out of things to do. The location is a perfect base for so many short trips to Lake Crescent, Hurricane Ridge, Sol Duc hot springs, ocean beaches, the ferry to Victoria, hundreds of hiking trails, and the state's best fly fishing rivers. In the summer, you can swim and kayak on the lake. In the winter, you can ski or inner tube at Hurricane Ridge.

If you like relaxing, you will not want to go anywhere else. The deck is as big as the cabin and has steps into the lake. In the summer, you can swim, kayak or have a campfire. In the fall, you will see gorgeous colors all around. In the winter, you feel like you’re on the lake even when you’re on the couch next to the wood burning stove with a good book or playing games at the table. There is no wi-fi or cable to distract you from being present. Running next to the property is a creek that flows year around.

Please note that the path leading to the cabin is rather steep, and may be difficult for people with mobility issues.

We had a wonderful stay on Lake Sutherland in early August. Perfect location for relaxing and swimming by the lake and a home base for exploring the park. Cabin was rustic but very clean and had lots of options (games, movies, etc.) to keep busy during downtime. Only stayed for a few nights but will be remembered forever.

A fun stay for my daughter and two young sons. She suggested a humidifier might help with slight damp. A good base for not only lake activities but all those hikes around the Olmpic Peninsula and a day trip to SolDuc Hotsprings. Lovely hosts checked in to make sure our arrival/stay was smooth. Thank you.

Gorgeous spot and lovely cabin

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was so comfy and cozy, perfect for reading and relaxing on chilly March days, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The fireplace was great and the beds were wonderful. We saw so much wildlife right from the living room, including several bald eagles. I can't wait to come back soon!

We enjoyed some great family time at this rustic lakefront cabin. We swam off the dock, paddled kayaks in the calm morning waters, and rowed across the lake in the rowboat. The kitchen had everything we needed and there was a nice size dining table plus a picnic table on the deck. The hosts were very helpful when we had questions. They provided good directions as well as info about where to park and about the steep trail down to the cabins. The bonus treehouse cabin was cute and cozy and had a beautiful view. The main cabin had a big two level deck and dock which go right to the lake‘s edge. We had to keep a close eye on the 4 and 6 year olds but the loved playing on the deck, swimming and eating outside. This side of the lake has a fair amount of shade, but the weather was nice and we spent most of the time outside! All in all a great place to stay!

Will stay again

Absolutely loved this home. Driveway access and pathway to the house are very steep, so plan for that. Once you get to the home it is absolutely beautiful. Although you are surrounded by homes you feel very secluded and private. Felt homey and comfortable. The kayaks are very easy to access and the lake is perfect for kayaking.

Staycation fir my 60th Birthday

This was our second year doing staycation. We love having the separate tree house. Owners are very quick to answer questions. Kids & I love the diving board & huge deck outside. Costs going up next year, but hoping we can work out to make it a 3rd year

Serenity at Sutherland

Once again, this property provided beauty, quiet, and relaxation for us. We have returned here many times and it has never disappointed. We mountain biked, hiked, relaxed around the cozy fireplace and soaked up the beautiful views from each window in the cabin. The hosts are wonderful and the cabin is very clean, comfortable and cozy, and thoughtfully stocked. We look forward to returning in the summer.

What a special cabin!

There is something about this home and this spot that makes your blood pressure drop the minute you arrive. We loved our family time here, and it's a fantastic jumping-off spot from numerous ONP hikes and attractions. Most notable: super helpful hosts, quality, comfy beds and linens, unbeatable views from the deck, well-equipped kitchen and great spot to cook together, LOTS of blankets ... we loved sitting outside with the blankets and our early am coffee watching the fog roll over the lake. Thank you for sharing your cozy cabin, Jenny & Dustin.

What a great cabin and location

This is such a gem. The cabin is so cute and the perfect size for our group of 6. I loved the closeness to the water and the location as a starting point for visiting Olympic national park and other nearby areas. Highly recommend. Row boat and kayaks were fun. Would be great if there was a SUP available but we rented one for our stay. The diving board was my favorite part.

We stayed here for our wedding night and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to stay! We enjoyed our time here so much we wish we had stayed longer to have a full day to just relax and enjoy the cabin and beautiful lake front views! Everything about the cabin is also so picturesque! The hosts were so helpful and accommodation and added some thoughtful touches to congratulate us and help us celebrate our special day! I can’t say enough good things about our stay here and how amazing the hosts are! We would absolutely love to come back again! I give this stay the best possible rating there is! We had the most incredible time!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this lake cabin. The views were beautiful, the surrounding forest smells like heaven. We took day trips to explore the Olympic National Forest and Forks. This cabin is very cozy and was well stocked with everything we needed. I loved the wood stove. The owners were wonderful and helped us when we called for assistance for something minor. We had a great vacation and would love to revisit this cabin again in the future. The tree house was very cute but we didnt use it because my husband and i just stayed in the cabin.

This is our annual third year. Check in was excellent & easy with key pad. Love having huge deck & be able dock our boat. We jumped tons on the diving board, always big hit. The tree house is great where my husband & I stay with sink/toilet. The main house with two bedrooms & bathroom with shower our kids & grandkids stay. House leans but you get used to it very well stocked. Loved kayaks. Only thing would change is the both mattresses in main house. Tree house mattress very comfortable. Plus could use some new pans, everything sticks & hard to clean. Pots are good. Another fabulous family local trip. See you next time.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Haferbecker

Host profile image
We are high school sweethearts who grew up in Kent, Washington. We spent 12 years living in Bellingham, Portland and Philadelphia, pursuing an education, then settled back into the Pacific Northwest in 2011.

In 2014, we welcomed twin boys into our family that already included two boys. We realized that air travel was not in our future, so we started looking for the perfect lake to visit every summer.

Why they chose this property

We found Lake Sutherland and fell in love with the combination of mountains, lake and forest. The next summer, we found this cabin for sale and couldn’t stop ourselves from dreaming. We decided this would be the perfect place to create memories for our family during summer vacations, and many more winter weekends.

What makes this property unique

This 1950’s lake cabin still has all the original detail and coziness while feeling comfortable and clean. It feels private with a boat house on one side and property with a creek on the other side. You feel like you are on the dock when you are inside the cabin.

We love coming here to get away from our busy lives in Tacoma. We spend our time relaxing on the huge deck with a beer, playing board games with our boys, exploring the forest, building campfires, kayaking, swimming and watching movies together. We hope you will find peace here as well.
