About this property
Peaceful Lakehouse on Ohop
This cozy lakehouse on Ohop lake has private frontage and access to the lake. Come enjoy some fishing, or use one of our kayaks for a relaxing paddle. The lake has both motorized fun from 11am to 3:30pm and outside of these times a slow 8mph for those who want to paddle.
The Buoy Lakehouse has a loft with 2 queen size beds separated by a privacy wall and 1 pull out couch downstairs. This stay will be both peaceful with a little rustic glamping. Enjoy the lake view from the dining table while you eat or better yet outside on the deck. Whether you like to bask in the sun or prefer a little shade, just crank out the awning to provide your preferred amount of sunny rays.
This East facing property has full sun in the summer so come with your swimsuits to play on the foam lily pad, take a dip in the lake or lay out on the dock. In the evening have a fire and roast s’mores or just take in the sounds of frogs and crickets.
Ohop lake is stocked with trout in the Spring, so bring your poles for small/large mouth bass. Other fish found are bluegill, catfish, and crappie.
Mt. Rainier is just an hour away for people wanting to explore the National park. NW trek is just a few minutes away for the family to enjoy. Although surrounded by the beauty of trees and our resident bald eagle family, the town of Eatonville is just 5 minutes away with full service restaurants, coffee stands, a grocery store and movie theater.
In the summer: Water can be limited and/or run out during a drought due to our spring fed water system. Ample back up water is always provided in 7 gallon jugs. Porta-potty available for back up as well. Be kind to our lake, conservation, picking up trash and no dumping in the lake is appreciated by our future generations and the wildlife the lake supports. In the event that you run out of tap water, please use the back up jugs and give us a call, in some cases we can help refill the tank if possible.
Please keep in mind we are not a business entity, we are a family renting our home out part time to help with the cost of maintenance and improvements. You will find personal items throughout the home, condiments, non perishables, you are welcome to any and all. We appreciate your understanding in this.

We absolutely LOVED our stay here! The beds were so comfortable, the AC kept the whole place cool in the 90+ weather, lots of amenities, several parking spaces, kayaks, the best swim pad for fun, and lots of outdoor seating! The owner was always in communication with me when I asked questions and accommodated our extra guest! Friends stopped by to visit during the day and they loved the place as well! We will for sure be back!
Owners are excellent hosts. Beautiful place to stay with abundance of wildlife right off cabin deck. Sunrises and moon were incredible with large presence of eagles-a sight to remember for life. Great dock and beach to swim from or to relax and watch wildlife from. Kayaks are great for exploring the lake. Sitting around campfire after the day is relaxing. Eatonville has a great small town vibe and is short distance to explore antiques and restaurants are great. Great place to stay. Highly recommended
The lake and beautiful scenery is really the star here! Property manager was super responsive and helpful. Definitely would recommend!

This was heaven! We had the house and all the water equipment (kayaks, SUPs, lilypad, etc.) to use. The house was imacculate and the host was amazing with communication. We will definitely try to book here again.
My sister and I recently renewed our love for Lake Ohop when we stayed at TT's VRBO. From 1969 to the early 1980's we spent our summers at our Lake Ohop cabin; swimming, tubing, water skiing, hiking up the hill on the east side of the lake to the railroad tracks, and playing for hours in the water. We especially loved the sound of the bullfrogs, watching the dragon flies, observing the crawdads, fishing, and canoeing on the north end of the lake by the sandbar with lots of white and purple Lily Pad flowers and the water bugs that walked on the water. A fond memory is Dad honking the horn when he was almost home for the day, which we could hear across the lake, and then we'd start the BBQ for dinner. TT's VRBO was perfect for us to reconnect with Lake Ohop, including the BBQ! The kayaks were amazing for watching eagles and many species of birds and wildlife. The sunrises were exceptionally beautiful from their dock. It is an oasis that can be enjoyed by all at any age. We highly recommend this location for your next vacation. Truly a place to unwind and enjoy a beautiful setting.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Owner not forthcoming
Numerous issues were not communicated on the listing. Not professionally cleaned. The owner had over half the refrigerator filled with personal food items leaving not much room for ours. No mention of an RV/ boat style toilet on the listing which emitted a sewer gas smell upon flushing. A backup plan for when water runs out, which is not on the property listing, is a Porta Potty located to the left of the front door. This wasn't communicated until the day before I arrived. Signs everywhere communicating limits on water use including under 5 min showers. Neighbors not aware property is being rented and lawn maintenance was attempted during our stay.
