'Magical' Mid-Century Estate [27 Acres, Sleeps 12]
I do not think there are enough words to describe how absolutely incredible Matthew's home is! Myself and 6 other girls spent the week here for a girls getaway and every single one of us could not stop 'oooo-ing & awwww'-ing' at every space. The home itself looks as if it came straight out of a novel but the property! Oh my gosh!!! Getting to be tucked away in the gorgeous scenic town of Kingston, while also not being too far from amazing restaurants and other amenities was pure perfection. We all took daily walks around the property and loved the high end retreat vibe that the home itself gives. We truly made some life long memories and cannot thank Matt enough for allowing us the opportunity to get to stay here. He was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our entire stay and we are all already talking about when we can come back; especially when the lavender field is in full bloom!! Thank you again, Matt!!

Emerald Haven: Lakeside, Hot Tub, Firepit, Kayaks
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean upon arrival and the views were spectacular. The deck on the lake is quite large and provides for ample space to enjoy being out by the lake plus toys for water activities. It was definitely a trip to remember and very pleased with the overall experience!

Lake Crescent House+Olympic National Park+Hot Tub
Perfect location!!! we had six siblings that stayed in this house and we all just loved it. The hiking trails that we did were all close to this house. The views are stunning , we didn’t really get to be outside because of the rain, but we did thoroughly enjoy the hot tub. All the beds were comfortable, as well as the furniture. Well stocked kitchen and the host provided nice extras. Would certainly rent this house again.

Lake Sutherland Main house. Pets welcome!
We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Christina’s place that sits up above Lake Sutherland. The home was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. We especially loved the hot tub, fire pit, peaceful lake view, and the lush, quiet surroundings. The location was perfect for exploring Olympic National Park. Christina was a fantastic host—responsive, thoughtful, and full of great local tips. Everything was smooth and easy. We'd absolutely stay again!

The Parklands on Admiralty Inlet
This is our second time staying here and hopefully we will be back again soon. The view is spectacular and the property is gorgeous. What a wonderful and relaxing vacation so close to home.

Freedom To Fly
Amazing place to stay overlooking Salish Sea. Spent hours looking for seals and whales in the sea. Inside is modern, clean and had everything we needed! Host was incredibly responsive and helped out with all our requests. Thanks Christine!

Secluded "Reflection Point" at Lake Sutherland
Well appointed lake front home with spacious decks and comfortable deck furniture. Centrally located to enjoy all the peninsula has to offer. Would highly recommend!

Craftsman next to the beach
we stayed for 10 days while we were doing work in our family's home on the island. we loved the space, location, and that it felt like home. there was enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our whole family. the location is great as it is a short walk to the beach and even walkable to lynwood. the host was responsive and pro-active when we had a issue with the septic system alarm going off. the home was clean but we did have to purchase trash bags and a few other items during our longer stay- which is okay as we were there for 10 days. we would recommend this air bnb for family's and anyone look for a full sized home while being on the island.

Serene 2BR Waterfront Retreat in Garden Setting
This home is THE place when you need a true vacation! First, the directions were very clear and the check-in was seamless. Second, the landscaping is so lush and vibrant. You feel like you are stepping away from the world. Third, inside is fantastic! From comfy beds, beautiful artwork, plentiful towels and linens, to absolutely everything you could ever need, the home was perfect! But most of all, the view! Can you beat watching a bald eagle fish right in front of you, with Mt. Rainier in the background? Amazing! I would rent here again without any hesitation. Thank you for helping to make our vacation just perfect!

Peaceful-Lakefront Getaway -AnotherAmerican Castle
We had the very best weekend at the lake house. The kids loved all the water fun! The dock was a hit! The place is peaceful and clean! Had everything we needed to enjoy our time off. The ping pong table was fun! The place is even nicer than the pictures look! Will book again in the future! Thanks again.

We’ve stayed at Sunny’s house twice and both times have been great! Beautiful views, and great neighborhood. Always very clean and comfortable.

Lake Sutherland Waterfront Cabin w/ Expansive Dock
A beautiful retreat that makes you feel like you’re in your own world. Enjoy breathtaking views of the lake right from the couch or deck. We had quiet morning out on the deck with ducks and bald eagles fishing right in front of us. Hard to beat this place.

Cozy waterfront cabin with panoramic view
Thank you for such a wonderful stay! The location was perfect. We made so many great family memories on the beach and enjoying the magnificent view from the deck!

Cozy cabin on the Olympic Peninsula, W/ Hot Tub
Couldn't have asked for a better stay! A private, quiet retreat after a long day exploring Port Angeles and the national park.

OlympicSky Cabin with mountain view+hot tub
Beautiful setting with a simple and well appointed cabin! Views were stunning and we had everything we needed for a relaxing trip!

Historic Discovery Bay Beach Cabin Stunning Views
My friend and I stayed here for a girls trip and it was perfect! The historic cabin is cozy, cute, and equipped with everything you need for a peaceful getaway. When we weren’t at the cabin relaxing we enjoyed being able to exploring downtown Port Townsend. Darrell and Carlene made us feel welcome and excited to share their beautiful cabin. I highly recommend staying here and plan to be back!

house upon the sand
DJ and Karen's cabin is gorgeous. It's perfect for two people, and it definitely has its quirks, but the view makes up for it. We saw so much wildlife on this trip: seals, otters, bald eagles, deer--magical! We lucked out that the neighbors were not there while we were there--the other house is close and they arrived on our final day to do noisy work on their roof. Not a problem, just know that it's not remote. We loved our stay, but it would have been on the expensive side if not for the million dollar view.

Secluded Olympic Nat'l Park Retreat
Great home that can be a relaxing and rejuvenating retreat, a base to explore Olympic NP, family fun time, reading holiday, nature contemplating time…all the good stuff! Everything was clean and comfortable, James and Paula communicated very friendly and responsively. This our 2nd time staying and we’re looking forward to come back!

SOL DUC RIVER FRONT-DRAGONFLY RETREAT-HOT TUB😁
Thank you for having such a wonderful place to stay! We all loved it! We love visiting this area and definitely will stay here whenever we return in the future. Your home is so beautiful and has such amazing views of the river, we loved relaxing in the hot tub after our adventures during the day. Everything is so nicely stocked, one of the best places we have ever stayed! Thank you so very much!!

Thompson Point [Lakefront Sauna] Lake Crescent|ONP
We stayed at Thompson Point for our elopement week and it exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect place for our group to relax and spend time together. The views and wildlife were amazing. Multiple bald eagles caught fish right in front of the picturesque window and some friendly ducks joined us on the dock! We got to go out and use the kayaks and we loved that Holly included those as amenities. Our time here will be forever some of our favorite memories. This place is magical and we hope to come back for an anniversary trip.

Wood Nestled King Cabin near Olympics and Straits
We truly enjoyed our stay at this cabin, peaceful and quiet, yet central and easy to get to everywhere in the national park. You’ll get to Port Angeles under 10 minutes, which makes it super convenient for us to grab something for breakfast/lunch before our hike. The private trail right by the cabin is lovely and magical. We enjoyed the walk equally as any other trails we did in the Hoh rain forest. Will come back and stay at this place 100%!
Your guide to Lake Crescent
All About Lake Crescent
Washington’s Lake Crescent owes its existence to a massive earthquake that rocked the Olympic Mountains several thousand years ago. The resulting landslide dammed a river, causing a valley to flood and create this 12-mile-long, crescent-shaped lake. Now part of the Olympic National Park, Lake Crescent is known for its startlingly clear waters (a result of low nitrogen and algae levels) surrounded by old-growth forest. While the landscape feels remote and almost prehistoric, it’s welcoming to travelers of all levels of ruggedness. You’ll find plenty of outfitters to help get you out on the water along with well-tended trails that climb from the shore into the misty Pacific Northwest wilderness.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Crescent
Lake Crescent borders parts of Olympic National Park considered a rainforest, but it sees notably less rainfall. The weather remains temperate and cloudy through spring, with highs in the upper 60s Fahrenheit in May. The heat steadily climbs into the mid-70s through August, and July through September are generally sunny. Fall cools off to the 40s and 50s and brings spectacular foliage. In winter, lots of rain and average temperatures in the 40s keep all but intrepid travelers away. Whatever time of year you choose to go, pack good hiking shoes, layers for cooler spells during the day, and a wetsuit (or plan to rent one there — the water is chilly year-round).
Top things to do in Lake Crescent
Boating and Swimming at Lake Crescent
The earlier in the day you can get on the lake, the better. Wind tends to pick up in the afternoon. You can rent kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards (or sign up for group excursions) at several spots around the lake. Motorized boats are allowed, but to preserve calm waters they’re not permitted to go faster than five miles an hour. If you’re tempted to dive into the lake, head to Fairholme or East Beaches, where swimming is allowed.
Marymere Falls
On the lake’s south side, you’ll find the area’s other notable water feature: this 90-foot-tall waterfall, which rushes down from a groove in a cliff. Starting from the Storm King Ranger Station, you can reach viewing platforms by the waterfall via a 0.7-mile-long trail that is shaded by fir and cedar trees.
Spruce Railroad Trail
To experience Lake Crescent from a different vantage point, lace up your hiking boots. This densely forested trail tracks closely to the shore and then ascends above it at a moderate grade. It’s four miles long (eight miles there and back), though if you’re entering from the trailhead on North Shore Road, you only need to hike one mile in to reach the trail’s best vista—a bridge over a part of the lake known as the Devil’s Punchbowl.
