Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Port Angeles
As General and Electrical Contractors, we were hired 11 years ago to rebuild the dock and then work on the Cabin, including foundation, installing power, adding a bath with shower and adding a kitchen. Mrs. Beam approached us 10 years later about purchasing, knowing our knowledge of the cabin. Additionally, Sheryl is 3rd generation on Lake Crescent, her Grandfather built Log Cabin Resort and sold it in the 1970's.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The Beam Cabin enjoys one of the most private beaches on the entire Lake. With 200' of sandy beach, the cabin sits at waters edge. The 200' path down to the beach from the private parking area completes your entrance to this wonderful place! The 80' dock will accomodate any vessel, the firepit is ready for your outdoor fire, the inside offers a cozy wood stove with all firewood provided. The four new queen beds upstairs share the open room with 3 beds in front of the windows for lakeside viewing. There are five acres for you to hike and explore, plus much, much more.

This is our second trip here. Weather did not cooperate with us until 2nd to the last day but we still swam, hiked and loved it. Planning our next year visit. So hard to leave dreaming of Beam Cabin until 2010.

Thankyou so much for sharing your wonderful cabin. It is a beautiful spot and convenient to the sights we wanted to see in the area. The weather could have been better, but the boys did get to take the rowboat out. I really don't believe there is even one fish in this lake! We found everything we needed in the cabin, especially coffee - which we forgot to bring. We all enjoyed the "Policitally Correct Bedtime Stories" and some scrabble marathons. We would enjoy coming again sometime.
