We sought a special place to celebrate a milestone birthday weekend with family, and this home exceeded all expectations: super spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. There are some unique aspects to being "off the grid" that can be a bit tricky (e.g. heat provided by gas wall units and fireplace), but the property manager was immediately responsive to help us understand/solve the minor challenges we had. The location is a bit remote, but SPECTACULAR and very convenient to the sights and hikes around Mt. St. Helens. ##### Patricia S.

The beautiful log construction is impressive, offering plenty of deck and inside options for relaxing. Vast counter space in the well-stocked kitchen. Inflatable dock and floaties offer fun on the lake which was a perfect temperature for swimming and floating. We had some confusion regarding sleeping space, but the current on-line description is accurate. ##### Richard B.

The house was clean and well equipped. Climbing down to the lake is a rather steep hill so may be difficult for the elderly or very young. It's wonderful that some water toys and small boats are included in the rental, but they were in rather bad shape when we rented, hopefully they have been replaced or repaired. ##### Charles B.

There were enough things to do to keep everybody connected and entertained. Two of the days there were cold and cloudy. The Lodge was cozy and there was ample fire-wood to provide warmth and ambience. The kitchen was so well stocked that we were able to enjoy some elaborate meals for the whole family. It was incredibly peaceful and there was only one other boat out on the water in all three days we were there. The location is beautiful. We had no problems navigating the drive-way and there was ample parking space for our five vehicles. We would highly recommend this place. ##### Katharina L.

It was utterly amazing. The house was better than it was portrayed to be. It was very well stocked and it held our family of 16! If you like a country feel and away from the crowds this is the place to go. The land is steep and probably not a good fit for the very old. We loved our stay....some of the grandkids wanted us to buy it!! LOL! ##### Laloni C.

However, it was hard to find despite directions. Also, the generator is too complicated to get get going. we had two engineers in our group who finally figured it out after some calls to property manager. For people who have been traveling a long distance and arrive to deal with a generator issue is burdensome and we would recommend some alternatives. We sat in the dark for several hours waiting for generator to prune, ##### George H.

Incredibly beautiful with thoughtful design. The bedrooms were a generous size and the areas for gathering in the upper loft and family room were perfect for playing games and reading. The location of the cabin is awesome with its own cove. We brought our own boat and docked it onto an anchored buoy and tree stump. Access to the boat was tricky as the floating dock required to be pumped up for each use, but the family all agreed it was worth it. The driveway had too many hairpin turns that we were required to pay for our trailer and towing vehicle to stay parked at the Forest Campground where the boat launch was located. It worked out just fine since we took two cars, we recommend others do the same if they bring their own boat. The younger adults loved the paddle boards and we all loved the view from the patio! Absolutely stunning! There’s even a waterfall on the opposite side of the lake! We highly recommend this property for those who want a true log cabin experience. It’s the perfect location for fun times on the lake and a day trip to the Ape Caves, Lava Canyon Trail, and Lahar Viewpoint of Mt. St. Helen’s. ##### Maria M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven V. 6 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Weekend Retreat Beautiful lakeside cabin on large acreage that easily accommodated our family gathering (12 guests). Closest neighbors cannot be seen nor heard. It felt like we had the entire lake to ourselves. It can be tricky locating the driveway as there isn’t really any signage or indication you’ve reached the property, but I was able to locate the property ahead of time using Google satellite imagery in combination with the directions provided by the property manager. Kitchen is well stocked. Pictures on the inside of the cabinets showing where everything goes is a nice touch. The path down to the shore is steep as advertised, but we all managed just fine and the kids enjoyed the water trampoline while the adults enjoyed kayaking and the SUPs. There are no drapes or curtains, so one should pack sleep masks if they intend to sleep in as first light comes early in summer. On the last day of our stay, we were somehow locked out of the kitchen pantry (we still don’t know how that happened), but the property manager was extremely responsive and was able to resolve the issue. The property manager was also helpful in responding to all my questions prior to our arrival. Bedrooms were great. Kids loved the bunks. We had a wonderful time. ##### Steven V. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa E., Seattle, WA 20 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location Disliked: Check-in #### Fabulous of the grid vacation - listing incomplete This beautiful home is in a spectacular location- perched like a tree house above the sparsely populated lake, on which there were times we saw no other boats at all. The meticulously clean home has luxe furnishings and a large kitchen. The show stopper is the deck. Owners responded immediately by text to any question and offered the use of their boat in compensation for a check-in mishap. Some things we wish we had known that were not reflected in the description. If you are using the app you won’t see that the house is on a generator. On the website it mentions this, but it might help to know that it must be turned off by 10pm so depending on your overnight electrical needs (cpap, late dinner, etc) and how long you sleep in, it may be inadequate. The access to the very small rocky beach is by an aluminum ladder that may be inaccessible to some in your group, and requires someone strong to maneuver boats in and out of the water. There are some amazing local hikes but as of this year they require online reservations. We did not get ATT cell service, and the wifi did not reliably support video calls (turned out to be nice for most of us, but one person had to return home for some necessary meetings). Lastly, I would recommend arriving in the light- access is by a downstairs door without outside light accessed stairs that felt precarious in the rain, into a dark basement. The spectacular setting, comfortable home, and responsive owners made it a wonderful vacation, but I was disappointed at how incompletely the listing described our actual experience. ##### Lisa E.
