Lake Cushman Retreat • Beaver Pond • Kayaks

Adventure, nature & relaxation at Lake Cushman

Welcome to your forest getaway at beautiful Lake Cushman—where mornings begin with coffee on the deck, afternoons are spent on the water or exploring the Olympic wilderness, and evenings wind down around the fire.

Nestled in the peaceful Mt. Rose Village neighborhood, this spacious 2,000-square-foot home sits on an extra-large private lot with a beaver pond right outside the back door. From the upper and lower decks, you can watch the resident beavers go about their day while listening to the sounds of the forest. It’s the kind of place where you can truly slow down and reconnect with nature.

The lake is just minutes away

Lake Cushman is approximately a 5-minute walk or 2-minute drive from the home. Guests have access to two kayaks during their stay, making it easy to get out on the water and enjoy the lake.

The nearby Lake Cushman park includes a swimming area, dock, boat launch, playground, and bathrooms with showers. Your stay includes a guest pass for one vehicle to use at the Lake Cushman parks.

Your home away from home

With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable living spaces, Wi-Fi, and plenty of room to spread out, the house is equally suited to a family getaway, a friends' adventure, or a peaceful retreat in the woods.

Step outside and enjoy two levels of deck space overlooking the pond. Sip your morning coffee, watch for wildlife, grill up dinner, or gather around the fire pit under the stars.

Explore the Olympic wilderness

The home is especially well located for exploring the spectacular trails and scenery of the Olympic National Forest, with Staircase National Park nearby. Whether you're coming for hiking, kayaking, wildlife watching, or simply some much-needed time away from the everyday, there's plenty to discover.

And if golf is your thing, bring your clubs—the Lake Cushman Golf Course is only a few miles away and winds through the forest with beautiful mountain scenery and abundant wildlife.

Come for the lake and the mountains. Stay for the peaceful forest setting, the beaver pond, and the chance to slow down and enjoy it all.

Excellent location, value, and communication. The property is in a wonderful location that is walking distance to Cushman Lake. With a nice pond in the back yard. We stayed a full week and had everything we needed for our 5 adults and one teenager family, including use if the 2 kayaks. We would look to stay here again (If it's not sold).

Fantastic time

Our family stayed here as part of a last minute vacation and had an excellent time. Beautiful hikes, a great kid friendly lake, and a gorgeous secluded property gave us exactly the recharge we needed. We will return!

Love Lake Cushman!

This was our first visit to Lake Cushman. We wish we would have planned a longer trip, it is awesome up here. The location of the home is great, with access to the lake. It was very quiet and large enough for a small group.

This place is absolutely beautiful, clean, comfortable, and relaxing. We really enjoyed out having the several options for gathering together--tables in the kitchen, dining area, and deck, the sofas, and the seating area in the upstairs bedroom--that allowed for private, as well as group conversations. LOVED hearing the frogs at night and the view of the slough from the deck. Thank you!

Perfect getaway!

The Beaver Barn was perfect for our family of 6! Plenty of space, lots of amenities, and excellent location- right on a beaver dam and just minutes from majestic Lake Cushman. We spent an evening at the lake and the next day hiking through the Olympic National Forest. We experienced a minor check-in snafu, but the host was incredibly responsive and we had zero problems after that! Please note: there is little to zero internet between Hoodsport and the cabin. Once inside the cabin, excellent internet connectivity though! We would absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone looking to get away!

Large, roomy, clean, quiet house with beautiful pond view

Beautiful property with large well-equipped kitchen, dining room and living room that is plenty big for a family gathering. The 3 bedroom are large with comfy beds and lots of storage. The bathrooms are clean and fresh. The main deck overlooks a beaver pond and forest - it is very private. The gas grill works great. Plenty of parking. The lake is beautiful with a community park that is excellent for a picnic and swimming, and clean restrooms/changing room. (bring your pass to gain access) The two-mile hike at Staircase is relatively easy. I suggest walking the west side to the bridge then return on the west side. Jumping off Party Rock is a rush!

Oly Trek

Home is comfortable and peaceful. Jose and Jillian were pleasant and communicated well. Very responsive if a need arose as well. You need to use wifi for calling, but that is the beauty of this vacation. Staircase rapids, cushman lake, high steel bridge all within an hour of the home. Great place to stay to start your trek around the park. Backyard is a beaver pond, owners report three beavers living in it, but we didn't spot them. Lots of garter snakes, kids had a blast catching them. Plan ahead and download your alltrails maps before leaving the house. Sit on the back porch and just listen to all the night sounds. Have fun trying to identify which is which and see how many sasquatch guesses you get! We are a celiac family, they did have glass bowls and stainless steal measure cups, otherwise pack your own GF stuff. Great cabin for our family of 6.
