We had a great stay at this rental house. It was just the right size for my family reunion - we had 7 adults and 3 kids staying. Plenty of bathrooms, and clean! Beds were comfortable and I really appreciated all the hooks to organize our things. The hot tub was perfect and it was so luxurious to have a sauna available. We enjoyed the puzzle and game selection and the kids had a blast with the outdoor toys available. The trail in the forest behind the house was just magical. I could tell it was well-maintained and I wish I had spent more time exploring out there. We used the fire pit almost every night - what a great way to connect with family. The dining table was the perfect size for our group and the living room seating was plentiful and comfortable. I really liked the location - so quiet and peaceful but still only a 15 minute drive to the town for groceries. Steve was very communicative and helpful. I've stayed at a lot of rental houses, and there are always a few minor maintenance issues. I pointed them out to him after we left, and it seemed like he was going to take care of them right away. Be aware that instead of the gas grill in the pictures, there is a very nice Kamado grill (Big Green Egg). It took us a minute to figure it out, but it worked great. Highly recommend this house if you're looking for a peaceful, well-appointed place to stay with a large group!

Most organized rental!

Had a great multi-generational getaway with ages 10-70 at the Olympic Lodge and loved it so much. The huge yard (lots of games), fire pit, hot tub, and hiking trails were perfect for outdoor time in the evenings. The house has all the amenities you could ever want. And labeled so precisely! Would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Kunkel

Host profile image
I've been building and remodeling homes since 1975 and have lived in Washington my whole life. I’ve always had a deep appreciation for the forests and natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, which is one of the reasons I love spending time at the Lodge. As a kid, I played cello in the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra, and my love for classical music has stayed with me ever since.

I’ve been married to my wife Alice since 1979. We have two daughters and six amazing grandchildren. In 2022, I retired after completing my other property, the Copalis Beach House on the Washington coast near Ocean Shores.

Now that I’m retired, I come up to the Lodge about once a month to relax and make sure everything stays in good working order. Hosting guests and sharing this special place brings me a lot of joy.

Why they chose this property

I've always dreamed of building a cabin in the woods, so we chose a large, forested lot here in the Northwest — a place where the trees are lush, green, and peaceful year-round. We were looking for land with a stream running through it and no highway noise, and we found just that. It truly feels like having our own little National Park.

While property near the ocean had its appeal, I was drawn more to the forest. For me, the forest is deeply rejuvenating — a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature. Based on the kind feedback we've received from guests, it seems many others feel the same way.

What makes this property unique

One thing that truly sets our Lodge apart is that, after much thought, we chose not to have a TV. While we do have reliable cell service and wireless internet for those who want to stay connected, we found that the absence of a TV encourages guests to slow down, unplug, and really connect with each other.

This simple choice has contributed more than anything else to the peaceful, rejuvenating atmosphere of the Lodge. Instead of screen time, guests enjoy playing games and puzzles, making music on the piano, gathering around the outdoor fire pit, playing badminton, or walking the private forest trail. It’s a place to be present — with yourself, with nature, and with the people you’re with.
