Our large, custom, 3500 sf log cabin home and property are wonderful for family get-togethers and weekend retreats alike. Paddle out to the lake’s island and make s’mores in one of the four outdoor fire pits in the evening. Catch a fish in the lake or crab from the Hood Canal and relax outside in the warm Belfaire microclimate. Or hunker down and play games, poker on the card table, or billiards on the pool table with your family members as the fire roars inside. There are plenty of memories to be made in this charming lake-front property with room to explore.
The outdoor space:
The outdoor space boasts an outdoor kitchen, natural fireplace, natural firepit, and two propane fire tables. The lawn is large enough to play soccer, badminton, and bocce - possibly all at the same time. Just a few feet from the waters edge, wildlife is a constant entertainment with resident bald eagles, deer, ducks, geese, otters, and beavers. On a clear day you can see the Olympic Range beyond the private, uninhabited island in the middle of the lake. This is an active watersports lake. Drop your boat in at the public boat launch and dock it for your stay on our private dock.

The lake is seasonally stocked with bass and trout. Bring your boat or fish right off the dock! There is a public boat launch just down the road from the house. Our dock has bumpers and a tie down for your boat. This is an active watersports lake for the ski and surf enthusiasts out there!
Important note: this is a rustic log cabin with modern features. This means that sound travels through the wood floors from the main to upper floors. We have a septic system that can only handle personal waste, toilet paper, and water. Please keep food solids and other garbage out of our sinks and toilets. If the septic tank gets too full or clogged, we will have instructions onsite. We have Wi-Fi and smart TVs but no cable.
