About this property

Lake Sutherland Home, Hot Tub, Private Dock, 2 Acres, Bunk House/Game Room!

The perfect spot for your family reunion or multi-family retreat, with room for 4 families to spread out comfortably and the most fully stocked kitchen you've ever rented.

UPDATE ON SUMMER RENTALS: Because summers have been booking up 2 years in advance, we are trying something different. For 2022 and beyond, we are accepting only 6-night rentals, Saturday to Friday, for the summer rental season (June through Labor Day). Join our wait list to get notified when we have a cancelation: https://groups.google.com/g/lake-sutherland-paddle-club-fans

We have traveled the world and decided this is our favorite place to vacation with our kids. The house itself is not fancy, but is laid out to accommodate 4+ separate families and their kids, or at least 5 couples. It is well equipped for our favorite activities including cooking, paddling, and enjoying cozy time with the family. You’ll find high chairs, kid dishes, toys, floaties, pack-n-plays, games, life jackets, and other items we stock for a weekend away with our own small kids.

The hot tub is located on the front patio with a lake view!

Lake Sutherland is an ideal home base for your trip to the Olympic Peninsula. Port Angeles is less than a 20 minute drive away, with restaurants, bars and coffee shops. The northwest coast is less than an hour drive to the west, with hiking and breathtaking pacific beaches. The lake itself is clear, clean, great for swimming, boating and fishing. In the summer the water can reach 70 degrees or higher. Shadow Mountain General Store is walking distance from the house with ice, burgers, basic groceries and gas.

Your rental includes three separate buildings. It is great for family reunions because you can have a baby in almost every bedroom and they won’t wake each other up.

Main house: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Queen suite has a full-size hide a-bed couch in its attached sitting area and has a private entrance, and views over the lake and mountains. Master suite has a king size bed, private ensuite bathroom, and sitting area with a fold down single couch. Third smaller bedroom has a full size bed. Fully equipped kitchen and dining room makes cooking for large groups easy. Large sitting area with comfortable furnishings, pub table, pellet stove and wide screen TV, with a sliding door to patio. Laundry room with an extra stove/oven and refrigerator for those larger crowds. Large covered porch with couches and chairs.

Bunk house: Queen bedroom and bunk room. Queen bedroom has a 3/4 ensuite bathroom. Bunk room has 4 twin beds and 1/2 bath with a pull-out sleeper sofa. Pool table, air hockey, foosball and board games, and a bunch more outdoor games. Bunk house queen bedroom is mobility accessible.

Studio: Open floor plan with kitchen, dining nook, living room, and a separate 3/4 bathroom. Queen bed and queen pull-out sleeper sofa.

The grounds: Plenty of outdoor fun is awaiting you here with hot tub, horse shoe pit, two fire pits, outdoor barbecue, kids' play structure, volley ball, croquet, and large fenced yard to spread your wings while also enjoying the eagles spreading theirs. Kayaks, paddle boards, pedal boats, and a canoe are available for your use. The property features amazing privacy - it is bordered by trees all the way to your own private dock.

Please consider seasonal details:

July & August are the driest weather and book a year in advance.

Sept & October include beautiful fall colors, often weather in the 60s and 70s, but sometimes can be wet. Lake may still be high 60s depending on the year.

Nov - Feb can include snow, occasionally over a foot deep. At times, you may need 4wd to drive the last quarter mile from the highway to the house. Dock may not be accessible if lake is high. Canoe and other boats are still available for your use; please be safe.

March & April flowers start to bloom and you could get some T-shirt days.

May & June can include warm days with temps in the 70s, but also wet days, and lake will be cool, likely in the 60s.

We had a spectacular time at this perfectly located property. Lake Sutherland is right there and so beautiful, but you're also close to Lake Crescent and Olympic National Park. The set-up was terrific for our 3 generations of family. Lots of space, games & activities galore, and the most well-stocked kitchen and home we've been to. Absolutely loved it!

Gorgeous Property - Space for everyone

The cost, big beautiful backyard right on the lake and all the sleeping options made this place the right choice for us! We had a very diverse group - three different families, kids from 7 - 16 and really enjoyed all the space to spread out and come together for meals and games. The house itself does need some updating but for the cost, the value could not be beat.

Family Gathering

We chose this place for a family gathering with our kids, grands. What a gorgeous location and view! Lots of room, with three families we each basically had our own private space. Perhaps the biggest bonus was all of the toys/books for the littles (age 3&4) - they had plenty to do! And the adults had lots to choose from too - kayaks, paddle boats, air hockey, pool, hot tub, etc. we had a couple of issues but the owners were great to communicate with and took care of the problems quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Hiking in Olympic National Park

Clearly this space means a great deal to the family who graciously shared it with us. The house was well appointed, welcoming, and provided an outstanding base camp to the many adventures that await in Olympic National Park. The description of the house was very accurate and the experience exceeded our expectations.

Beautiful piece of paradise

Overall, our trip was wonderful! Pros: Multiple dwellings for multiple families Privacy from neighbors (and each other if needed :)) Well setup for young kids with indoor and outdoor toys Well setup for older kids with pool, foosball, and ping pong, bunk house Kitchen was well-stocked Beautiful property with enough room from badminton Gate access to dock and water for child safety Nice dock large enough for a group. Clear, clean water Tons of water toys and life jackets for all ages Kind, accommodating and responsive hosts Cons: Hot tub could have been a bit cleaner Not much actual shoreline to wade in and what is there is deep mud Weeds and algae in deeper waters off dock, but deep enough that it didn't hinder swimming Wish their were views of the lake from more rooms in the main house All the cons are ticky-tacky and the pros by far outweigh all of those. It was a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend it.

Best house on the lake

We have stayed at many different houses on Lake Sutherland, but no other house has come close to the perfection that this house is. The amount of space is unbelievable. We had a large group with 4 families. Everyone had their own bedroom and plenty of bunkbeds for all the kiddos. Pool Table, Ping Pong, Firepit, Huge yard. Absolutely perfect. I can't wait to stay here again.

Everything and more!

We had a wonderful stay here with extended family and grand-kids. There was plenty of space and separate rooms for everyone to have some privacy. The house had everything we needed, plus extra things like toys and games, and little luxuries like super soft bedding. The kitchen was fully equipped and made it easy for us to cook multiple meals for everyone. The property is very well maintained and the views of the lake and mountains are hard to beat. Overall, a wonderful place to escape and relax, even during the Northwest rainy season!

Outstanding in any season!

This was one of best vacations in a long time. Even in winter, this location is spectacular. We enjoyed the lake on the paddle boats, the tide pools at Salt Creek, rockhounding the coastline, the views of the snow dusted hills and mountains, the cozy stove in the house and all the fun amenities. The main house has a few quirks that come with an older home, but they were easily managed and posed no negative issues. Everything was clean and organized. The owner was kind, responsive and flexible with us; which always seals the deal for me. We are already looking at trying this property in other seasons!

Family gathering for grandma's 80th birthday

Ideal spot for multi-age family gathering. We loved that the grandparents could have their own cottage and kitchen and the teens had their own bunkhouse with loads of entertainment, leaving the main house for the other adults. This home had the best stocked rental kitchen we've ever seen, which made meal prep for a large group so easy. Wonderful dock; we brought a shade canopy, which helped a lot as it's full sun all day. If you read paper books v. kindle/ phone/tablet, you might want to bring a headlamp as the bedside tables aren't the best reading lights. Overall, fantastic location, super comfortable and perfectly stocked for a big group. We'll be back.

Moms 90th Birthday

I have one sister and two brothers, we are all in our 60s. Between us we have 7 children and 5 grandchildren ages 1 1/2. Months to 43. There were enough beds for everyone. Could not believe how equipped this place was from condiments, ices, pots, and pans silverware. They even had Q-tips in the bathroom with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash enough towels that everyone had towels there was a washer and dryer.. I can say this I was overwhelmed by all of the stuff they had just in the house and how big the house was. We sat around the table and played cards and games, and there was enough room for everyone. The stuff they had outside boats and kayaks, and lifejackets was quite excellent. There was the game room with pool, tables and air hockey and ping-pong and foosball. There was something in this house for everyone and the games galore. My grandchildren had something to do all the time. Never once did they get on our nerves because there was something for them to do never heard a peep out of them. The dock was close 1 March all of my sons and nephews went for a polar plunge and ran up to the hot tub. Did not hear a complaint from anyone in my family, which is a miracle. My mother absolutely loved this time she got to spend with all of her children and her grandchildren in the same place for the first time in years and years. I definitely recommend this place. It’s beautiful I cannot describe how absolutely perfect this place is and it’s only 20 minutes out of P.A.

Great for a family reunion!

This property was the perfect location for my family of 12, ranging from age 11 to 84. The property offered lots of activities for varying interests. We made use of the canoe, kayaks, paddle boat and paddle boards. Because the weather was on the cooler side we also made use of the hot tub and outdoor fire pit. The large kitchen, large grill and 3 full sized refrigerators made it easy to store and prep food for a large group. There was ample private spaces so people could get some privacy and a large living area where we loved to congregate. Beds were comfortable. Lots of pillows, blankets and towels provided. Lots of kitchen utensils...including stand mixer and blender. The proximity to Olympic National Park made day trips to sights very easy. Also trips into Port Angeles for supplies and the occasional dinner out was fairly convenient (20 minute drive). A plumbing problem in the boat house was fixed within 24 hours of reporting it to the property manager which was very appreciated. The only downside to the property was the water pressure was VERY low. There were times that showers and faucets decreased to a trickle and that is not an exaggeration. Almost all family members experienced it in the shower at one time or another. I don’t know if it’s just due to the water supply in the whole area or if it’s specific to this property. Although inconvenient, most of my family agreed it wouldn’t stop them from returning. Overall a great place to stay!

A piece of Paradise

The only complaint that our family had is that we didn't get to stay long enough! Can we stay another day please?! This was absolutely a piece of paradise! The water toys that were provided along with life jackets, allowed us to have a wonderful time from morning until sundown! Then we moved our celebration to the hot tub, and fire pit. We had 16 guest and everyone had a bed to lay their head, and even take a break. We had a blast playing horseshoes, and the kids had fun playing on the jungle gym. Taking in the view and feeding the ducks was by far the best part of our days! We are already planning a return.

Family trip

The house was wonderful. The location was perfect. We spent most of our time seeing the park and did not take advantage of the house and lake. You could truly never leave the house and have a great vacation. It was clean and comfortable. Every pot, dish or spice you may have needed was there. We loved our stay. On a personal note my family is very sensitive to perfumes and scent. We did smell a thing. The detergent and lotion at the house was unscented.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Kolve

Host profile image
The Kolves (Kelly & Eric) and Musgraves (Zach & Malen) have been friends for decades and love vacationing together. When the Musgraves' second baby turned out to be twins, and the Kolves added their first baby to the mix, we realized we need to think of vacationing a little differently. We bought this home together from family friends who had already turned it into a thriving vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

Kelly Jensen Kolve grew up in Port Angeles, and has always thought this lake has it all - views, swimming, boating, clear water, great location. With so many kids now in our families, a property with lots of private spaces and large shared areas is exactly what we were looking for. We hope you love it too!

What makes this property unique

If you have visited this lake, you’ll know that most of the shoreline is steep, where staircases lead down from cabins perched on the hillside. This house is different. The gradual lawn stretches right to the water’s edge. Also, because it is situated on the north side of the lake, it gets full sun from morning until late afternoon, and is protected from north, east, and most importantly west wind. Shadow Mountain General Store is walking distance with ice, burgers, basic groceries and gas.
