My siblings and nephews and I had a nice stay in this cozy snug cabin. One sister was unable to attend because of an injury, and I was unable to call her because of sketchy cell service.
This little cottage is perfect for a home base while exploring and making use of the outdoor opportunities the area provides. My 2 young kids had plenty to do with the great outdoor spaces and cozy spots inside to relax. Kitchen was well equipped for making meals.
I think our family has found our favorite Lake Cushman VRBO spot. This adorable A-Frame cabin is well located near prime lakeside swimming spots that are great for kids and parents alike, easy to find (not tucked away in the catacombs of a neighborhood), and it is comfortable and affordable. The kitchen was extremely well appointed, the beds were all amazingly comfortable, there were toys for the kids to play with, a sweet deck to lounge on, and woods behind us for total relaxation and peace. Also, Michelle is a super sweet host who clearly values communication (both online and setting up guests with info at the cabin to make it easy to navigate the place). For our family, this is just the spot!!

Perfect small family getaway
Our little family of four fit this house just perfectly. We stayed in March. The cabin heated very quickly with the gas fireplace. The new fire pit outside was just wonderful on the cold nights. Took a little skill to get it lit in the rainy pacific northwest weather. Lake Cushman is a beautiful place and the mountain views from the shores are just magnificent. The owners were very flexible with our dates, since there was room. We just moved to Washington and need to explore other areas of the state, we will most likely return to this cabin. Thank you for a wonderful little break for our family.
We wanted four basic things: 1) be near hiking in Olympic National Park; 2) close to a beautiful place where we could swim; 3) have a charming place to stay with some privacy; and, 4) be able to cook a proper a meal. %-plus stars on these things!
We were minutes away from trails and serious hiking and we did magnificent hikes everyday; we were walking distance (4 minutes) to a great place to swim; an 8 minute drive to another lake, Lake Kokanee, where we found an isolated little spot in a cove. After one hike, less than 30 minutes away, we also swam and snorkeled in Lake Cushman near the Olympic NP Staircase entrance and it was magical.
That actually would have been enough for us.
But then the cabin was absolutely adorable and set in a large wooded lot with plenty of privacy. The property is in a community but nonetheless has privacy and cozy little nooks outside to sit around a table or fire pit (but no fires for now because it is too dry) in a woodsy setting.
Finally, the cabin was so well-equipped and stocked with all we needed, particularly for cooking. Good pots and knives and every appliance you might need. I loved there were both a Keurig and French press coffee makers.
And I must add, the host, Michelle, was so helpful, informative and gracious.
Could not have been better!
We loved this place in the forest. Very charming and gives you access to everything around lake Kushman.
One of our favorite parts was the outdoor fireplace where we made s'mores for our boy for the first time. He still talks about it.

Everything was perfect! Cottage was stocked with everything you could think of, but didn’t know that beforehand, so brought a lot of my own things. Very clean, stayed cool inside even without the AC running because of all the trees around the property. It was a quiet 4th of July, only a few fireworks heard off in the distance. Lake Cushman access is just a quick walk from the cottage, which was great! Michelle is super sweet and communicated throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone and will absolutely be back.
My sister and I chose this location which is beautiful and peaceful. With so much to do every day, the house was awesome to come home to.
We brought our dry goods and stopped in Haggens market for the rest. We made dinner, played cards, drank wine on the deck. One evening we grabbed a glass of wine and walked to the lake and sat on the edge of the pier and watched the sun go down.
The little town is quaint with an awesome oyster bar not too far from the house. We picked up some fresh halibut cheeks to cook at home. Yum!!!
We couldn’t figure out the new big tv and would suggest a page of directions would be helpful.
It was so nice to unplug for the five days we were there in a magical place.
Shady Maple Cottage is spacious, clean and cozy with all the comforts of home plus more!
Well appointed home with everything you need in the kitchen, comfortable beds and an awesome fire pit! Just a short walk and easy access to the Lake and boat launch! Hosts Michelle and Eric are easy to communicate with, very responsive and a super hosts! We had a wonderful stay at Shady Maple and look forward to visiting again!
Everyone had a great time during our stay, and our hosts were very gracious. We had parents, kids and a grandparent, and there was plenty of room for everyone and lots to do and see in the area. Michelle left lots of helpful local information in the cabin, and it was well equipped with kitchen items, linens, coffee, etc. The kids also enjoyed the board games. Hoodsport Coffee company, just down the road, is our family's new favorite ice cream spot. We can't wait to visit again!
1000 out of 10 would recommend. Perfect little cottage tucked away in a beautiful forested neighborhood. Shady maple is exactly that, shady and relaxing on any day! Amenities were more than adequate and the cottage all around very clean and organized. My only complaint is that we didn't stay longer.... Our many thanks to our gracious hosts and we hope to be back sooner rather than later.
We had a wonderful stay at Shady Maple Cottage! The owners were very responsive and detailed with instructions and we had no problems at all with communication. The cottage itself is extremely comfortable and we had plenty of space for my family of five to spread out. The cottage was easy to clean (just a lot of laundry!). The lake and hiking trails were all very close by, as were a grocery store, gas station, and restaurants. We would definitely recommend Shady Maple Cottage if you are looking for a convenient place to stay near the lake!
I've never rebooked a place before but I definitely will here. Michelle was a great host and the cabin had many things that are easy to forget on a trip. Super homie and you can tell they love this cabin. Also the lake is an easy walk. It's the best.
The Shady Maple - beautiful romantic getaway and path to adventures in the Olympic Peninsula!
We loved everything about The Shady Maple! Checking in was easy and Michelle was a fantastic host. We loved sitting out on the deck with the fire pit in the morning and roasted s’mores and hot dogs twice. I just loved the view of the bright green maple leafs surrounding the cabin and couldn’t get enough of it. We hiked Staircase not far from cabin and I highly suggest doing it. We had a few picnics on the road to Staircase , drove to Forks and hiked Hall of Mosses and Spruce tree trails , walked the beach at Hood Canal in Liliwaup, , drove to Port Angeles and hiked Hurricane Ridge, and still had plenty of down time at the cabin. The Shady Maple is a quiet, cozy place to unwind and relax and also a gateway to many adventures. We can’t wait to go back !
