About this property

Lakefront Luxury Castle w/ Hot Tub - Great for Groups, Gatherings, & Reunions!

We invite you to live like royalty at the Castle at Summit Lake! The Castle at Summit Lake is a sprawling 7,500sf, 3-story, lake-front Castle on 1+ acre that can sleep up to 24 guests and features an outdoor hot tub, media/entertainment room, billiards room, poker turret, arcade room, outdoor fireplace, freshwater dock, multiple patios and decks, lake toys and much more. The Castle is equipped with high speed internet, air conditioning and SmartTVs (with streaming options).

The Castle at Summit Lake is located >5 minutes off WA-8/Hwy 101 in West Olympia. The Castle is ~20 minutes to downtown Olympia, ~1 hour to the Ocean cities (Ocean Shores and Westport), ~1 hour to SeaTac airport and ~1 hour to the Olympic National Forest. The nearest city with basic amenities (fuel, dining, grocery, etc) is McCleary which is ~10 minutes away. In the other direction (~15 minutes away), Capital Mall area features all your "big box" stores, dining and services.

The private 1+ acre lake-front estate is located on the North side of Summit Lake. Summit Lake is relatively deep freshwater lake that is well-known for boating, fishing and swimming. We have a large dock that guests are welcome to utilize, and we supply a limited amount of life-jackets, an extra-large paddle board, a pedal boat and a few other lake toys. We provide lakeside seating for 20+ guests and our shoreline has a bit of a sandy beach and large fire pit to gather around. Just off the shore is a 9-person hot tub carefully placed for the best lakeside views. Beyond the well-manicured lawn is a semi-covered patio area with outdoor dining for ~16 and is equipped with a large propane BBQ. Steps away are double doors that lead you back inside the Castle and to a big bar area with seating for ~14 and boasts an additional fridge, sink, dishwasher and glasswares.

Our Castle offers the perfect blend of gathering places and private spaces for groups! There is an additional cabin on the property (available at an additional cost) that can accommodate another 6 guests.

The Perfect Weekend

JessicaWe chose The Castle to hold our destination microwedding. We brought 24 people from Colorado, and the weekend couldn't have gone better. The venue was absolutely PERFECT. The amenities were limitless, the beds were SO comfortable, the host was so great with communication and very flexible with our small event. The location is so beautiful, and we with perfect weather, we were able to hold our small ceremony on the balcony overlooking the lake. There is something for everyone, and so much space. Some favorites from our party was the master bathroom tub, toilet, and shower, the LED bathroom mirrors which made getting ready so much better, the multitude of kitchen tools, the availability of bags and laundry soap, the glassware, the coffee/tea station, the hot tub, the availability of slippers to accommodate the no shoe rule. We hope to come back in the future to celebrate an anniversary. Thank you for making our wedding an absolutely unforgettable experience.

10/10 Experience

I truly cannot say enough good things about this property and the incredible property manager, Emily. If you think the photos are stunning, just wait until you see it in person—it’s even more breathtaking. Every detail of the home is thoughtfully designed, making it the perfect retreat for a large group to relax, connect, and recharge.The hot tub was the cherry on top, offering the perfect way to unwind under the stars. And the lake view in the morning? Absolutely magical—calm, serene, and the kind of peaceful start to the day you didn’t know you needed.The kitchen was impressively well-stocked for a group, with all the utensils and cookware we needed to prepare meals with ease. Everything about our stay was seamless, comfortable, and beyond our expectations. We will absolutely be back!

Birthday retreat

We loved the castle. It was a perfect location for a birthday getaway with our family and best friend's family. The kids enjoyed the paddle boat and game rooms. Everyone enjoyed large T.V.s and lazy susan on the table for meals. Even though it was January we enjoyed doing a polar plunge in the lake. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful Stay at The Castle

My family had our Christmas celebration at The Castle and the place delivered. The Castle is a beautiful and spacious place that more than accommodated our needs. There was room for everyone (13 adults & 2 infants) and plenty of things to do. Our stay at The Castle was excellent and made for the most enjoyable time!

Lakefront Fun at The Castle

The home was beautiful and right on the lake as described. The bedrooms were accurately portrayed the one titled "living room 1" was a beautiful round room with a bed but it did not have a door and was open to the upstairs which carried quite a bit of noise from below- we should have noticed the difference in room name but didn't. All the other rooms were as described. The entire home was stocked with a starter pack of all you could need and had many dishes, pans and kitchen gadgets to use. The kids loved the dock and the use of water toys/paddleboard. The downstairs movie room, poker table, pool table, arcade games, bar and Karaoke machine were huge fun after the long days swimming! There were plenty of fridges and pantry space to hold food. There was a lot of space to spread out and also plenty of shared spaces to gather together in a big group! We only rented the main Castle home, not the cabin on the same property. I could see it being awkward if someone else was in the cabin while you were in the home as it is close. So you may want to check on that. All in all this home is a beautiful place on a quite and clean lake. The host and owners were easy to work with and helped when a small need arose without a second hesitation. Thank you for letting our group stay!
