A secluded retreat with over 300 feet of private lakefront nestled in the Olympic National Park, on the north shore of gorgeous, pristine Lake Quinault awaits you! Located on a private cove, there are no neighbors in immediate sight; this is privacy and seclusion at it's best. Enjoy the views from this custom 2-story home from your wall of windows overlooking glorious Lake Quinault. The adjacent pond and creek on the property are popular nesting grounds for an array of birds and wildlife. The only sounds you will hear at night is the chorus of frogs and an occasional beaver slapping its tail. Bald eagles, osprey, herons, beavers, otters and deer make frequent appearances. Canadian geese as well as native ducks can be observed in the cove. In the summer, we occasionally have a black bear roaming the neighborhood. The home features a firepit just off the deck, stairs and an expansive lawn leading down to the private beach and a lakeside fire pit area. The beach offers a gradual descent; perfect for children to wade, play and swim. Let your dogs run wild here! The home boasts a sun room with lake views, air hockey table, gas BBQ and Hot Tub on covered deck, Jacuzzi tub in master bath, double sided gas fireplace that adjoins a smaller living room to a spacious recreation / living room. Complimentary Starlink Wi-fi. Snuggle up in the sun-room or on the deck and take in the tranquility that surrounds you. After a long day exploring the bountiful outdoor opportunities, relax in the rain sheltered outdoor hot tub and let the stress of the outside world melt away, or enjoy a private jetted Jacuzzi soaking bath in the master bedroom suite upstairs.

This is truly a magical retreat where seclusion, privacy and beautiful mother nature converge to create the perfect getaway.

Perfect Getaway

Beautiful home that's privately situated at the end of the road on the lake. There are paddle boards and kayaks to enjoy the lake with and games and plenty of movie options to just relax if it's too rainy out. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook or bbq. The home is large and open with a nice double-sided gas fireplace to chase the chill of rain away. The hot tub is perfectly situated to enjoy a view of the lake, yet under cover to enjoy in any kind of weather. We were greated by otters in the lake and deer in the small field on our arrival. We chose to do a lot of hiking and we were happy to find plenty of trails close by. The trail of 1,000 waterfalls was our favorite. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful property

This was out 2nd stay at this property. It couldn't be more welcoming, like staying in a beautiful home. There are so many comfortable places to relax and enjoy the majesty of the mountains surrounded by woods and on the lake. The new deck really enhances the look. This time we rented all the additional apartments, they didn't disappoint. Our whole family enjoyed the hot tub & air hockey table. Our 2 dogs loved to just run & romp. We loved the fire pit, made smores and loved the use of the kayak and paddle boards. Cleo is easy to work with. My family cherished our family gathering there.

Beautiful property with all the amenities of home

If I were to design a vacation home, I would design it just like this. We had such a wonderful time at this lakeside getaway. From the gorgeous views, spacious rooms, kitchen that even included condiments, laundry room, comfortable deck, hot tub, grill, fire-pit and multiple places for the family to hang out. We even got out on our paddleboards and would have tried the kayaks if we had stayed an extra day. We weren't there with young kids, but games and books were provided for families with kids, and we will definitely consider returning as grandchildren start to expand our family. And I haven't even mentioned the proximity to Olympic National Park.. we saw waterfalls and beaches and enjoyed exploring the area. Cleo and Gabe were very responsive when I had a question. I highly recommend this lakeside property!

Solitude in the middle of nature

The house was lovely with two living rooms a nice dining room and big kitchen and a great sunroom. Great access to the beach also. The beds were very comfortable and the place was very clean. To top it off there is a family of otters in the cove (a mom and two juveniles) next to the house, some loons with their beautiful, sounds, Bald eagle, stellar jays, pileated woodpecker’s, black, capped chickadee’s, tons of swifts, juvenile buck and doe eating the blackberries every day and merganser ducks that I have never seen before and are out of this world. In the evening from the upper deck, we watched the full moon rise and shine over the lake. Also saw a rainbow and totally enjoyed the mist over the mountains. We would definitely stay there again.

A LITTLE SLICE OF PARADISE

This property was far better than the pictures showed. It was clean, easy to access and way bigger than it appeared online. There are so many comfortable places to relax and enjoy with gorgeous views of the lake and surrounded by the Olympic National Forest. The huge yard was a great bonus for our two dogs to romp and play. The kayaks to enjoy the lake was another wonderful perk. It is so peaceful and private there. Our 13- & 11-year-old granddaughters had so much fun on the air hockey table, challenging everyone. We flew a kite, watched the deer come for a morning drink and heard the beavers at night while cooking s'mores, investigated and tried to get a picture of them but tripped and surprised them instead. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is so well stocked with dishes, utensils, every kitchen item you could need, plus plenty of towels for beach and house. We will definitely book this wonderful home again. If you want to get a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is an awesome place to relax and forget about your hectic life.

This was our second stay at this property and even more enjoyable than our first! Because of the first, my husband and I bought kayaks. Everyone had the best time. Hiked over by the lodge and ate berries that became a quest for all. Peaceful, restful, and best birthday!

Beautiful View

We had a lovely weekend enjoying the magic of Lake Quinault. The home provides lots of sleeping options and the kitchen is very well stocked with a very nice stove and fridge. It was the lake outside that made the place outstanding. The big lawn where we could play lawn games, having our own access to swim and kayak was amazing. It felt like a family home not a pristine vacation rental. We really enjoyed it.

We had a fabulous time staying at this house. The location and access to fun outdoor activities in and around Olympic NP was perfect, and we also appreciated the amenities of the house. Kayaks, tons of extra towels and cozy blankets, fully stocked kitchen tools for cooking our own meals. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean and easy to find.

Autumn Retreat

This is a lovely location with a big spacious house. We had a view of the lake the mountains beyond, and the sun and moon rising behind them. We loved walking at the Kessler Homestead. The main house was well stocked and ready for guests. We also rented the two apartments above and below in the garage. We found both of these to be inadequate. The upstairs apartment had the smell of propane so strong no one could sleep up there and had to use the couches in the main house. The television and the fireplace did not work. The downstairs apartment was damp, musty, and the mattress on the bed was concave. When we arrived there was a great deal of bat guano on the front staircase and also a dead bat. We hosed off the stairs and front porch. There was also bat guano on the outdoor furniture. We washed and disinfected the glass patio table, removing all the guano, but when we opened the umbrella, more Guano fell out and a bat flew out as well.

This is a wonderful property and we had a FABULOUS stay. The sweeping grass down to the lake was a wonderful play area for our English Springer Spaniel, who would fetch a ball 24/7 if she could find someone to throw it that long😄!

Extended family vacation

Even though our small extended family lives in the same town, we haven’t had a chance to get together since covid due to several high risk health conditions. This was finally our chance. This house was wonderful because it was so private. We all isolated before the trip to make sure we were germ free and when we arrived, we literally never saw anyone else our entire vacation except the family in our group. We had 3 families total- one family with an 8 and 10 yr old, one family with a 1 and 4 yr old, and the grandparents came with 2 little dogs. We rented the main house for the grandparents and big kid family, and the apartment for the little kid family. Everyone was impressed with house much room there was for everyone. We could have easily fit more kids in if we had them. The views were amazing. Every day we looked out at the lake and said “how did we ever get so lucky to stay at a place like this?” I brought a variety of lanyard making supplies, thinking some kids would like to do a craft, but the adults ended up spending the whole time each making tons of lanyards (just like we did as kids at summer camp) as we relaxed sitting around on all the super comfy couches just chatting, or sitting around the campfire, or hanging out on the deck or at the beach. And we all loved the private beach of course. We are hoping we can go back again because 1 time just isn’t enough.

About the host

Hosted by Cleo Risser

Host profile image
My name is Cleo. I am the mother of 2 and currently live in Olympia, WA. I grew up in Lake Quinault and as an 18 year old, could not wait to leave. I attended college on the East coast near Boston, MA and found myself truly missing this beautiful place. I missed the trees, I missed the Pacific ocean beaches, I missed the stars, I missed the sound of the frogs at night and I even missed the ridiculous amounts of rain. I returned to Lake Quinault after college and shortly afterwards, married my best friend who shares my love for the area. We lived in the community for a few years operating his family's business. We moved to Olympia in 2002 to pursue our careers and are now only a 2 hour drive away from our vacation home.

Why they chose this property

My husband bought this property well before we built this home together. He recognized the unique beauty of this property sitting at the end of a dead end private drive with so many feet of private lake frontage. We built the home with the intent to live in the valley and operate his family's business. Our paths changed after a few years and we both opted to pursue different careers requiring a move to Olympia. My husband's parents moved into the home and slowly added on. They built the garage and apartment above, they added the spacious recreation room and the sunroom and the garage studio/exercise/game room, to be able to accommodate all of their family to visit. After we had our first baby, they retired and moved to Olympia to be near us. We feel grateful to be able to keep this beautiful home in our family while also providing the opportunity to share it with guests who also understand and appreciate the beauty of this unique area!. We visit this beautiful area as much as we can with our family; our two children and our dog love it!

What makes this property unique

The privacy of this property is second to none in the area. I cannot imagine finding another place like this....some of my favorite moments in life have been here...staying up all night laying on the lawn watching a meteor shower...listening to frogs while in the hot tub staring at the mountains across the lake....waking up and sitting with my coffee in the sunroom gazing at the picture perfect scene with a layer of fog reflecting in the lake like glass....sitting around a bonfire with my family and friends telling stories and laughing...teaching my kids to swim...watching the rain pour out of the sky like buckets as the lake level creeps up higher and higher and the electricity flickers during a fine winter storm while snuggled up inside with flashlights ready...
