Lake Cushman Family Getaway-5 min walk to Lake-King Bed-Pets OK-Firepit-Kayaks!

Welcome to Paddlers Paradise! Escape to this 3-bedroom home with 2 living spaces, it is the perfect retreat to unwind and relax. Located on a serene lake, guests can enjoy kayaking, fishing, and relaxing by the fire pit. The cozy interior features a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms with a king bed, a game room, and an outdoor deck nestled in the trees. Just a short drive to the local attractions, this is the ideal getaway for outdoor enthusiasts or families looking for a fun escape.

Experience the delightful features of this remarkable space! This expansive residence boasts over 2000 square feet of living area, nestled in the trees by sought-after Division 1 of Lake Cushman. Centrally positioned, it’s just a leisurely 5-minute stroll to the park and a quick 2-minute drive to the boat launch, with the stunning Viewpoint Lookout a mere half-mile away. Enjoy the cabin life for nature lovers while experiencing lake living a few minutes away. You will have access to a parking pass to be able to visit all of Lake Cushman's parks.

This home is ideally situated near the entrance to Olympic National Park Staircase and Skokomish State Park, with Hoodsport and the Hood Canal just a quick 10-minute drive down the hill. You can book a tee time at the Lake Cushman Golf Course that is a 5-minute drive away.

SLEEPING:
Paddlers Paradise can accommodate up to 8 guests with 6 beds. This modern retreat features 3 bedrooms - 1 king, 1 queen, 1 queen with twin bunk beds, and 1 twin bed in the second living area, along with 3 bathrooms equipped with all the essentials. Two of the three bedrooms feature private bathrooms. With soaring vaulted ceilings and striking 4x10 exposed beams, the home is flooded with natural light from its expansive windows. The main living area is located upstairs, while a spacious bonus room awaits downstairs.

The kitchen is a chef's dream, showcasing white maple shaker cabinets, sleek black granite countertops, and a full suite of stainless-steel appliances.

You'll find a Keurig with K-cups provided, a traditional coffee maker, a blender, a toaster, a large roaster oven, a crock pot, a three-section food warmer, mixing bowls, a selection of spices, and a BBQ grill on the patio, making this one of the most well-equipped kitchens you’ll encounter in an AIRBNB.

Awesome stay!
It was a beautiful home with everything we needed. It rained but the house was equipped with so many things for the kids to play with, and even kids' utensils and plates made it easy for us. The beds were comfy, the house was clean and the host had great communication. Will definitely come back!

Relaxing Stay by the Lake
This summer we wanted to book a comfy lakeside home we could use as a "basecamp" for outdoorsy fun and this listing absolutely delivered on that dream! The house was extremely comfortable for multiple adults and pups, had many amenities, and was situated in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. Being so close to the Olympic National Forest meant access to plenty of diverse hiking trails while still being close enough to Hoodsport to make grocery shopping and an evening eating out quick! Our hosts were also very communicative giving us plenty of heads up on what to expect when we stayed on the property and clear instructions for checking in and out. Highly recommend this listing!

Beautiful home, great location
This is a beautiful home very close to a variety of activities. Plenty of space for a family to spread out, or get comfortable together. Easy check-in and great communication. Nice that we had access to TV, Netflix etc. Perhaps because we went off-season but a few things fell a bit short for me. First there was no propane for the grill and the grill looked like it hadn't been used for a while (needs cleaning). The host did offer to reimburse us if we went to get the tank refilled. The outdoor firepit was awesome, but had a dozen or so cigarette butts in it - not very appetizing to toast s'mores. Check-out was more stressful for me than usual because we learned after booking that the expectation is that you not only start the towel load wash, but you need to wait until it completes and start the dryer. I have no problem starting a load of wash, but having to wait for it to complete (and not knowing how long that would be) was no fun. Again the home is beautiful but for what we paid I was a bit disappointed with these shortfalls. Good news is should be easy to fix.

Awesome getaway location
House is incredible, as pictured. Location is awesome - we took a short walk to the lake, which was beautiful. House is situated so it feels like you're well in the forest but Hoodsport is just a short drive away. Very quiet here! Danielle was super easy to communicate with and responded very promptly, and she was exceptionally gracious when we had car trouble trying to leave. Could not ask for a better host! Would definitely rent again!

Beautiful location
We enjoyed our stay. We had small children in our group so we bought an adjustable baby gate for the top of the stairs which we left there in case you are in the same situation. Lovely, quiet neighborhood. Small store close by, but went to Shelton for most of our groceries--about a 25 minute drive. Lake Cushman just gorgeous!

Lovely home with wonderful lake access!
The home was very lovely with every amenity you could want. The beach and swimming area is an easy walk away. As a permit is needed for that area, that part of the lake wasn’t too crowded, even during an August weekend. The communication with the owner was absolutely fantastic. 4 nights went by in a blink, it felt like we had just arrived when we were leaving! Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Stunning Lake Retreat
This lovely home was a very comfortable retreat for a family gathering of five adults and two small children. The lake was a short walk and was simply breathtaking. The common area at the lake includes a lovely playground, barbecue area and plenty of beach. The home was very warm and inviting as well as spotlessly cleaned. The best were comfortable, kitchen well appointed, and a really relaxing outdoor space with fire pit. Definitely well taken care of home and the hosts were great to work with. We hiked some lovely spots nearby including beautiful staircase. Great location for many gorgeous hiking destinations.

Great location, challenging with baby and large group
We had a great time visiting with our four kids and my aunt and uncle. The lake and nearby beach are absolutely stunning! Great little playground, picnic tables, floating dock - just gorgeous! It was great to have the kayaks and wheels to shuttle them back and forth - my kids loved them! The house was well appointed with plenty of towels and kitchen tools for the most part. The house though wasn’t great for a one year old. There is no baby gate to block the stairs. The host suggested using the dining bench to block but with a walking baby, he would have easily flipped over the bench and fallen. There is also one section of the stair railing spindles that did not seem like they could be to code. The spindles were very far apart and my baby could easily fit through. I had to come up with creative ways to block both which wasn’t ideal. We were also staying with my aunt and uncle who stayed in the bedroom downstairs and unfortunately they weren’t comfortable. The room acted as kind of an echo chamber for everything happening up in the kitchen / living room which meant they were up with the baby everyday. I’d make sure to put light sleepers / anyone who doesn’t want to awake with the first risers in an upstairs room. We were 8 people including 4 little kids and were charged an extra guest fee which drives me crazy. The property is listed as sleeping 8 and we didn’t even use all the beds. All in all it was a great trip and the area is beautiful!

Hoodsport 2023
Overall the place was nice. Finding out there would be a list of chores after check-in put a cloud over the stay. I understand the no shoes but then to go out on the patio from the kitchen requires you to go down the stairs to get your shoes. A curtain on the smaller window in the main bedroom that faces the living room would be helpful because the light glares in from the living and kitchen areas. WiFi was spotty, but the homeowner was very helpful. The lake access and kayaks were a highlight as was the fire pit in the evening. The kitchen had a nice supply of essentials.

Cabin in the pines
Just a lovely home for the entire group. The listing had not been updated to show only 2 kayak's at the home. We probably would have chosen differently had we known, (Double check with owners before you book) An animal of some sort got into the garbage cans that hadn't been put out so the mess was a lot to clean up. Overall a beautiful area & home.
