We had family from the Midwest visiting us at our place in Seattle, and wanted a nice getaway on the Olympic Peninsula. This was an amazing place to stay, right on Lake Sutherland, a perfect lake for swimming and water sports. The property itself is very nice and well-equipped. We were pleasantly surprised at how thoroughly the house is stocked and we loved that there were kayaks and a grill for our use. Bring bug spray and stay up late enough, and you'll be able to see the Milky Way from the 2nd story deck. We couldn't have been happier with how well it fit all of our family members and provided us all a space for respite outside the city.My one complaint or point of feedback is the on-demand water heating. At times it was tricky for people to get hot water for their showers and I think dishes run through the dishwasher didn't get the adequate hot water to clean the dishes well. Not a huge problem for us, but it would have made the experience a little better. Still a 5-star property and I'd 100% recommend to anyone who wants to stay at a beautiful place near Sutherland and Crescent lakes.

Great house. Everything in the house was clean and organized. The house binder had all the info that a renter needs. Communication with the owner was very good.Views of the lake and mountains are beautiful. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake. Thank you for the tip to grocery shop in Port Angeles.

This was a beautiful home in a gorgeous setting, also conveniently-located for our travel plans. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and we appreciated the convenience of keycoded doors. Cleanliness was flawless. We were especially impressed with how well-stocked the kitchen was with all the equipment we could have needed. Our kids loved the books, stuffed animals, bunkbeds, and swing chair. Communication with the host was especially impressive. In addition to being responsive to our questions, they went out of their way to support a couple of extra needs in our group.We would happily stay there again.
