Welcome to Chestnut Cottage on Lake Steilacoom — a modern-organic lakefront retreat designed for guests who appreciate calm, beauty, and elevated simplicity. Completely remodeled, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage blends thoughtful design with casual luxury. Every detail is curated for restorative rest and meaningful connection to nature.
Sleep comes easy here. Both bedrooms feature premium mattresses, hotel-grade linens, cloud-soft pillows, and blackout shades. The quiet setting and fresh lake air create the kind of deep sleep guests rave about.
A spa-inspired bathroom experience. Heated floors, beautiful finishes, plush towels, and quality toiletries elevate your daily rituals. The space is calming, warm, and intentionally designed.
A kitchen that actually works for cooking. Abundantly stocked for real meals — sharp knives, quality cookware, oils, spices, and a lovely coffee/tea setup. Whether you’re preparing a simple breakfast or a lakefront dinner, you’ll find everything you need.
Designed for comfort + beauty. The cottage reflects an earthy, modern-organic aesthetic with natural textures, soft lighting, and curated decor. It feels both elevated and effortless — like a boutique retreat tucked into the trees.
One acre of lakefront serenity. Step outside to park-like grounds where eagles nest overhead, birdsong surrounds you, and the lake sits just steps away. Kayak at sunrise, swim in the afternoon, fish from shore, or simply sit and breathe in the quiet.
Outdoor living, elevated. Comfortable seating, peaceful nooks, and easy lake access allow you to enjoy the outdoors from morning coffee to golden hour. It’s a space designed for slowing down.
Thoughtfulness in every detail. Smart locks, fast WiFi, cozy throws, extra blankets, and small touches throughout add ease to your stay. Nothing is fussy — everything is intentional.
Chestnut Cottage at Lake Steilacoom is a sanctuary for couples, small families, writers, creatives, and anyone seeking a restorative lakefront escape. A place to unwind, reset, and feel held by nature. Truly magical — and impossible to forget.

Hello and welcome! I’m Lisa — lover of PNW summers, unapologetic fan of rainy-day coziness, and your behind-the-scenes host at Happy Hammer Homes.
I moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2007 and instantly fell for the South Puget Sound’s charm (and yes, the weather really does have personality). My husband and I run Hammer Real Estate, where we transform homes with intention and give forgotten spaces a second chance at being loved.
Hosting is my creative outlet — and I run my 4.99-star Airbnb business the way every guest deserves: with thoughtfulness, responsiveness, and plenty of warmth. Think boutique-hotel polish meets “your friend with great taste” vibes.
When I’m off-duty, you’ll catch me unwind with a great Cabernet, a clever streaming series, and people who love a good laugh as much as I do.
