Hot tub, firepit, kayak - all seasons lakefront comfort and fun near Hood Canal

If you love watching the morning mist lift off the lake over coffee in bed, kayaking in still water, and evening soaks in a hot tub, you’ll love our well-equipped, west-facing cabin—a perfect spot for families to make core memories, couples to have a romantic getaway, or friends to connect + have fun.

Our 1200 sq ft cabin is designed for comfort and fun - quality mattresses, nice cooking equipment, kayak, SUP, canoe, games, an outdoor shower, and hot tub. Hood Canal beaches, hikes, golf nearby. Fast wifi + office space make it a great midweek retreat to 'work from lake.’ Great all-seasons location.

Trails End is a hidden gem – a clear, no-motor lake 5 mins from Hood Canal. Swim in warm water, free from tides. The lake is stocked with trout three times a year - BYO fishing gear and enjoy a morning out in our canoe. Relax under cedar trees, or explore local hikes, Olympic National Forrest, oyster bars, clamming + golf.

Our home is well outfitted for holiday meals and memories - we decorate for Christmas and Thanksgiving, and have high quality cookware (casserole dishes, roasting pans, meat thermometers!), bakeware (beaters, pie dishes), and serve ware (tablecloths, platters, napkins) to make holiday meals as delicious and memorable as they are at home.

We offer a 10% mobile booking discount – find us on your phone!

We are 90 minutes from Seattle, 45 minutes from the historic harbor town of Gig Harbor, and hiking trails in the Olympics are as little as 30-40 minutes away - snowshoe in the winter, forage for mushrooms in the fall. For longer stays, the gorgeous Washington coast is an atmospheric day trip for exploring tide pools and beaches with rock formations.

Families can just show up - we have a travel crib, toys, books, art supplies, games, puzzles, kids life vests, pool noodles and more.
