This waterfront home on Lake Sutherland near Port Angeles puts you at the footsteps of the Olympic National Park and all it’s rugged beauty for you to hit the emerald water or hike the old growth trails. The property is perfectly located to enjoy Olympic National Park. Built by a cabinet maker, the house embraces you throughout with the warmth of knotty pine. The current owners have graced the home further with antiques and art, making this a very special home. Imagine a twenty foot wall of windows overlooking a soaring vista of emerald water, layered mountains, and soaring sky. With an emphasis on intimacy, the home is well equipped with special touches in every corner. Pack light and let your hosts provide an unforgettable getaway that offers year round reasons to book your anniversary, honeymoon, or family getaway.
The house is nestled 75 feet back from the water, on the sunny north shore. Two short paths lead to a shore with a comfortable deck and dock, and a small beach. Between, a two person hammock is slung between towering firs, next to a landscaped bonfire pit stocked with wood. Read your book on the dock. Relax in the hot tub with someone you love. Dine overlooking the lake from one of the most private, romantic settings on the lake.
In the morning, lie in bed and watch the lingering fog wisp through the far cliffs that form the northern boundary of the Olympic National Park. Off season, the lake is all yours, providing splendid solitude for writers or artists, or anyone longing simply to put up their feet. Spectacular Lake Crescent and Merrymere Falls is just a few miles away. Take a day trip to Victoria, or a river raft trip down the mighty Elwa. A canoe comes with the property. Occasional neighbors share access to shore.

Why the Owner Chose Port Angeles
The Olympic National Park is spectacular with it's nature and scenery. This property is perfectly situated to enjoy the Park. Everywhere you look is memorable. Old growth forests and trails are near by. And to look out across the water, to the mountain ridges beyond, is to take your breath away.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The house is suited for romance. No matter what time of year, you feel as if you are in nature's womb. It is obvious the house was built by someone whose heart was in it. In fact, he was a cabinet maker...and it shows throughout.
There's a great little gas/convenience store within walking distance. They even have a small kitchen with carry out service.
Just seven minutes away is the famous Lake Crescent Lodge. Great restaurant and bar. Watch the sun set over the lake with crab-dip and a glass of wine. The spectacular Merrymere Falls hike, through ol
Just a few minutes away is a very quaint sit-down dinner, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
A wonderful trail through old growth forest starts right near the Lake Crescent Lodge. An easy hike, and close by. Other wonderful hikes in the Park are nearby.
Owner's Map of Port Angeles
I grew up on a simillar lake, in Michigan, and it was always a dream to reclaim that fantasy. When my wife and I found this property, it was the answer to our dream. I am a glass artist, and not only did the property have a fabulously romantic chalet on the lake, but a great garage/shop and open meadow at the top of the property, out of sight and sound of the lake house. After a couple years of entertaining guests, and hearing endless comments of gratitude for sharing the lake house, we decided to create a vacation rental...which has given us the great joy of meeting new people, making new friends, and generally sharing the joy of the place. Our guest comments book is full of kind expressions, which is priceless for us.

I have never seen so many stars as I have here above the emerald lake. I love the mountains which rise from the water. Attention to detail, inside and out, makes this a great house. Everything is ready to go. This is the most relaxed I have been in years and I dread returning to the rush of Seattle.
