This sweet little cabin hideaway offers all you need for a woodsy romantic retreat at the lake, from private dock and canoe (the trusty Al Dente), to covered patio, hot-tub, and stand-alone deck with chimenea, to carefully appointed kitchen, toasty wood stove, cozy loft bedroom, and plush terry robes for two. You may never want to leave... but then you'd miss spectacular Olympics hiking and charming Port Townsend. Tough choice! Two hybrid SUP/kayaks included at no charge, May through September.
A 750-square-foot timber-frame cabin tucked into the rhodies and doug firs, with beautiful woodwork throughout, Sunrise Cabin is named for the custom wooden sunrise motif on its gable end. The cabin is thoughtfully furnished to provide everything you might need in any season, without crowding your space. Awake to sip your coffee on the peaceful covered patio, overlooking the gurgling creek and surrounded by lush greenery. Spend your day paddling, swimming, fishing, or just relaxing with a book or good company. Enjoy a glass of wine on your private dock, for a close-up view of eagles, osprey, kingfishers, ducks or the red-winged blackbird who thinks he owns the property. If you're lucky, an otter or two might pop up! The little kitchen has everything you need to cook a lovely dinner, and a propane grill is available on the patio to grill your trout. Finish the day with a hot-tub soak under the stars, and sleep soundly in the comfy quiet loft.
Sunrise Cabin is located adjacent to to our lakefront home, each house being extremely private from the other, with a delightful babbling brook separating them. It is tucked back off of the lake, with its own lawn, gardens, hot-tub, and stand-alone deck, and private dock and lake access down a grassy path along one side of the property.
While Sunrise Cabin has been pet-friendly in the past, now that we are living on the property we can no longer allow pets or service animals of any kind, due to the risk of bad interactions with our own two large dogs, Abby and Otto. Our dogs are very friendly to people, though, so this cabin is not a good fit for people who dislike or fear dogs
