Sunny Lake Sutherland Gateway to Olympic National Park

Located on the sunny North-shore of Lake Sutherland. Enjoy expansive views of the lake and a central location with access to all that Olympic National Park has to offer. (O.N.P. visitor information center at Lake Crescent is just over 5 mi. away).

Many of our visitors enjoy peaceful mornings and relaxing evenings at the lake, then pack lunches, and enjoy short day trips all over the Peninsula. Spread out your maps and explore! Beaches, Mountains, Rivers, Rainforests, Lakes, Waterfalls, all just minutes away.

The open floor plan offers lake views from nearly every seat. Clean and uncluttered, the comfortable furniture, quality beds and linens, ensure you will relax and enjoy your time here. The kitchen and appliances are very nice and stocked with the basics. Propane and Charcoal BBQ's are clean and ready for grilling on the BBQ deck, plus there are tables for dining inside & out.

The expansive dock is private (not a shared dock) and is equipped with 2 swim ladders and several incredibly comfortable Adirondack chairs hand-made by the owner. This is the perfect place for spending days in the sun and on the water. After the sun goes down, enjoy some great stargazing from the dock.

Easy access from Highway 101 via a short paved road that leads right to the property. There is also a small group of private roads that inter- connect and allow for long walks around much of the North Shore of the lake.
Drive right up to the door!

Although we love them, please no pets and no Smoking.

We chose this place to stay as a 'homebase' during our adventures in Olympic peninsula and it was perfect. Great location if you're interested in day hikes in the park or just want to relax at a lake with an amazing view and quiet atmosphere.

This property was incredible. Pictures do not do the atmosphere justice. The outside living here is amazing…you want to be at the patio table, dock, Adirondack chairs or kayakers all the time to absorb the mountains, water and sunshine. I would stay here again with my wife and three kids anytime! Highly recommend!

Perfect spot to come home to while visiting the park. The house was very comfortable and well stocked. The dock can’t be beat. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock until dark every night after the day of hiking.

Excellent place for those exploring Olympic!

This property was truly wonderful! The lake views are stunning, yet relaxing. The house has everything you'll need and then some! One small note: the wi-fi is rather slow and even outpaced by 4g data connection, but overall the perfect place to disconnect anyway! The location is perfect for accessing any of Olympic's many features, and is quite close specifically to Hurricane Hill and Storm King among others. We certainly hope to come back for our next Olympic getaway!

Beautiful lake vacation

We were supposed to go to Lake Louise but couldn’t because of Covid. So grateful that this Lake Sutherland cabin saved the vacay! We literally didn’t leave the cabin/lake for the five days we were there. Just kayaked (provided) and relaxed in the clean cozy cabin. Loved it!

A wonderful spot

We recently stayed here to explore the Olympic Peninsula. There were four of us - two couples- and we were very comfortable. The Murphy bed could also be used to sleep two more people. The location is as advertised. The main window looks west over a scenic lake. It’s a great spot to relax at the end of the day. The water was chilly in June but refreshing and crystal clear. The owners are wonderful. They are cummunicative and accommodated a change in our rental. The location is about 20 min from Port Angeles and the northern entrance to Olympic NP. Great spot.

Fun, clean, views!

Owners were too kind and quick to respond, they sincerely want to ensure you are happy in their home and town. Cabin is very well cared for (so clean) and most anything you need they have provided. As with any older cabin the space is tight but very manageable. The one and only negative for us was the bedroom walls do not fully extend to ceiling creating an open space. The outside space is very pretty with AWESOME views.The deck and dock provide plenty of space for fun in the sun, kids will not get bored! Great central location for visiting Olympic Natl Park and the beauty of surrounding coastlines. The logging community is interesting to see at the Port Angeles waterlines (west side), drive through historical downtown to appreciate the history. If you love the great outdoors this is the place to be, if you prefer city life stay home!.

Don't Bring Kids to this Rental!

Unfortunately, we had a really bad experience here. First of all, the bedrooms aren't really bedrooms as the wall doesn't go to the ceiling- so you can hear everything and then some when trying to get to bed/wake up in the morning. This isn't described at all and quite misleading. Please check EVERYTHING when you enter the rental. Owner told me after we checked out that we should have inspected the entire space inside and out and let her know of any nicks/marks so they wouldn't be blamed on us. Who does that?! Her daughter is the housekeeper and is eager to find anything out of place to be able to charge you for it. She asked me in disgust 'do you have a dog or kids?'. Anything out of place or any indication that you used something she will seek reimbursement for. Had I known she was so unfriendly towards kids, I would never have even booked this place. I should have known something was amiss when I asked questions prior to arriving and were given answers of 'it's a VRBO policy' only to be told by VRBO that it was the owners setting those options, not VRBO. The deception runs throughout. We even went back when she texted pics of the issues she claimed were done by us. The pictures we were sent showed HUGE issues, only to find out the scratch was miniscule. We took the time to return to the rental to speak with her, but she was not open to any discussion, so I'm not sure why we were called back. We have warned friends coming to the area to find other rentals. We have stayed in many rentals over the years and never had these problems before, including the other rentals during our trip. Can't recommend strongly enough to find another place to stay other than here.

This lake house is even more beautiful than the pictures- it exceeded our expectations! Alan and Wendy were very communicative and had great recommendations for places to see and eat in the area. Their best recommendation was to jump in and enjoy the lake - and we did every afternoon! It was also a perfect launch point for many amazing hikes. This was our favorite family vacation ever!

Perfect!!

This is a perfect location. House was super clean and had everything we needed. The lake was so nice. Do note that the two bedrooms are open at the top to the rest of the house, so you can hear every word said in every room other than the bathroom, which does have full walls. Not an issue for us. Everything was in such good order! Will defiantly recommend!

Incredible experience

The listing didn’t give it all that it could had. Perfect place for a small family. Lake was beautiful! Didn’t expect kayaks but took advantage. Make sure you pick up groceries prior to your arrival. They’re were many items you may have forgotten but need to count on preparing your meals which we like to do. Wish the bridge wasn’t out of commission but managed around it. Loved the Sol Duc Falls Trail the best. Mount Storm kicked our butts. Would love to come back to this perfect property.

Relaxing and lovely stay

We had a great time at this house. The house has a beautiful view. We used the kayaks and had a wonderful time kayaking. The house is very clean and is at a good distance from Hoh rainforest, Sol duc falls and Lake Sutherland. I requested the owners for a packnolay and they arranged it for me. They also answered my queries immediately and called me on the first day to make sure I was able to locate the house and get in. I would recommend this place if you are planning on visiting Olympic National park.

We had a wonderful time at the Sutherland Lake House. The owners have made the house warm and Congo with all the amenities you would need. The view is gorgeous! We enjoyed eating outside at table and watching the sun go down on the chairs on the dock. We hiked in Hoh Rainforest and visited beaches. I would go back again!

Majestic setting

The exquisite and ever-changing light on the lake and the mountains was a delight. We enjoyed glimpsing a resident eagle, and the ducks and geese paddling around. We found the house very comfortable and the kitchen equipped with what we needed to cook most of our meals during our 5-day stay. The location, with its proximity to Crescent Lake, Hurricane Ridge, and the lavender farms of Sequim was ideal. The hosts were responsive and helpful. The only thing to be aware of is that the bedroom walls do not go up to the ceiling and so the bedrooms are open to the kitchen and living room noise. Also, we like to sleep with the windows open and so relocated to the smaller bedroom to be further away from the high-pitched noise emitted by the septic tank. All in all, we thoroughly recommend this amazing house and wonderful hosts.
