Idyllic Lake Cushman

The only vacation rental we’ve rented more than once as we like trying new places. However this locale and the views from this home are unbeatable. Had a great time with the kayaks on site too.

Thanksgiving Get-Away

We finally had a "destination Thanksgiving" and this property definitely delivered the peaceful and serene setting we were hoping for. Instead of a "Black Friday" shopping rush, we decided to walk along the river and follow the staircase trail. The sound of rushing water, falls, and rapids sure beat the sounds of a typical Black Friday in the shopping centers. We certainly enjoyed the house, views, and location. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

Relaxing family trip

We had such an amazing stay, we didn’t want to leave. The house is beautiful, the stairs down to the water are so convenient. Everything we needed to have a fun and relaxing time was there. Our 2 young kids (ages 1.5 and 3.5) loved all The toys in the bunk room, they had so much fun in the lake, our 3 year old got a lot of use out of the trampoline. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the deck and taking in the beautiful view and sunsets.

Great views in a cozy spot

We spent the last week of summer here and it was fantastic. The house had everything we needed and tons of activities for kids/adults to just chill by the lake. We took kayaks out with beautiful mountain views. There is so much to do in the surrounding area I could stay here for a long time. Would definitely stay here again.

A little slice of Heaven

This was an incredible vacation rental. The location and view couldn’t be beat, house was clean and comfortable. I loved how it’d transform from a fun, summer lake house to a peaceful evening retreat, to a cozy cabin at night. The steps to the dock weren’t as intimidating as we’d imagined. :) The only thing I’d do differently is book a longer stay. We hope to be back!

Summer on the Lake

Such a well appointed home—clean, spacious, all the tools you could ever need in the kitchen. Such a gorgeous view from the huge deck. Our kids were thrilled with the bunk room. So many extras from games to books and movies for downtime. The trampoline was quite a bonus. Had a great time kayaking from the dock. Definitely will return next summer.

Overall excellent family trip here. We couldn't get enough of the view and spent a ton of time out on the deck. Massive toy selection for kids in the closet, and tons of books and games around the house for added fun.

A great house and view for miles

Overall we loved the house and the surrounding area. So many adventures to be had! The dock was great for time on the water and the kitchen was well-equipped. I would recommend this property to others! Our only negatives were not having a land-line to provide to emergency contacts since the internet was iffy, and some of the dishes in the cabinets were not clean upon our arrival. A suggestion would be to have some plastic cups for use outside!

Great Lake Long Weekend

We had a great stay here. The views from the deck are wonderful. It’s about 100 steps down to the lake with a dock for swimming and kayaking. A short drive away there’s a nice beach. Trails are also a short drive away, but no trails within walking distance. There were tons of toys for our kids to enjoy and the kitchen was well stocked.

Best decision ever!

The property was absolutely perfect for us and had everything we needed for our family of five to stay comfortably for a week in early summer. The view of the lake is stunning and we never got tired of looking out the windows. We seriously did not want to leave. If you're looking for a high-end posh upscale property then you'll want to look elsewhere. This house feels like a home rather than a showroom, where you can feel comfortable sitting on the furniture after spending the day exploring Olympic national park or kayaking or swimming in the lake. A couple of things to note about the property. First, it shares a narrow driveway with a couple of other homes on the lake. So you have to go slow and look ahead to make sure there's no car coming in the other direction. We spent a week here and never saw another car on the drive, so it was never an issue for us. Once you're on the property, it feels like you are completely secluded from everyone else. Second thing to know is that the house is on a septic system and the owners provide environmentally friendly soaps, shampoos, conditioners, etc. So no need to bring your own! We've rented many VRBO homes over the years from Maine to Washington and I think that this home is probably one of the very best, if not the best, that we've stayed in. I honestly wouldn't even look at other properties if I were staying in the area again. My family and I would be absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to stay here again.

Excellent location with amenities

Our family enjoyed our stay at the Samara Lake House. It was well-equipped for everything we needed, including for the kids. The property manager was a great communicator and prompt in answering questions. Some minor drawbacks: The Wi-Fi would only allow three devices on at a time, and cell service was not an option. The upstairs master suite didn't seem to have any windows that opened, so heat stayed there on hot days. The suite had a ceiling and tower fan, making it work. Overall, we'd stay there again. Thanks for the excellent lake experience!

Family vacation

After some miscommunication about never receiving the code to enter the property and then, not receiving a return message from the host for quite a while, our stay was wonderful. The location, setting and house itself was beautiful. Beautiful. Was exactly what our family was looking for. The house had many amenities and was well appointed and well stocked with toys, bedding, towels, toiletries, and kitchen items. Items. We would definitely consider staying here again if we are ever out that way.

You won’t want to leave!

What an amazing VRBO. Lake Cushman is absolutely beautiful and this house is designed to showcase the beauty of the area. Tons of things to do in the house, arts and crafts, tons of DVDs, walking sticks, umbrellas, even a rain jacket and robes. We loved having access to the kayaks (bring proper gear as the water is very cold), the kitchen is all upgraded with very nice appliances as with the bathrooms. The beds were incredibly comfortable and we had a lot of fun with the Blackstone (although it needed a heavy cleaning which we performed before use). We spent every evening above 40* outside on the deck watching the sun set behind the mountains. Lots of cool stuff to do in the area, too. We hope to be back.

My friends and I LOVED everything about this property: Al the way down to the limited Wi-Fi. Access to the internet is there but to stream on the tv or anything to send only one device could use it at a time. This made us enjoy the location and view that much more. Bathrooms were beautiful and the kitchen had everything we needed including coffee/espresso and cocktail shakers. We had to buy ice and that was it. I will say with it being so close to the filming location I wish they had the Twilight Movies on DVD. They had cute touches like painting a rock to leave by fireplace and writing notes to read from others who stayed. Loved it, made it homie right from the beginning! I can’t wait to return and stay again with family in the future for the summer season

Spectacular View

Moving clouds, changing light, and reflections on the water created breathtaking views of the mountains and lake from the living area and large deck. The home itself was clean, comfortable, modern, and well-appointed. Hoodsport restaurants aren’t great; so plan to drive a bit for a good meal or plan to cook in the nice clean kitchen.

Beautiful and serene, even in the rain

I booked a solo vacation for a few days to paint and get away from the city. To my dismay, the weather took a turn the week before my trip and I spent the first few days watching the rain from inside. Fortunately, this home has the COZIEST couches and one of the most gorgeous views I've ever had the pleasure of waking up to. Very quiet neighborhood and clear instructions for check in/out. Cell service was very poor in the area, so you might want to download a map of where you're going beforehand. Hoodsport, the nearest town, was great for amenities and some of the cheapest gas I've seen in WA. Gorgeous drive, can't recommend this stay enough!

Beautiful Place!

This was a beautiful place. Great for a family weekend. The living room has lots of space to relax and enjoy the views from the large windows. The kitchen had everything we needed. It’s not too far from the Olympic National Park. We spent the morning one day doing a hike there. One thing to note is the WiFi is limited. It’s well spelled out in the listing. I enjoyed not being constantly connected so this was a positive. But, would not be suitable for a work from home getaway. That being said, it was amazing how much time that freed up! We finished two puzzles together which was great. Bottom line, highly recommend staying here.

Before you even get in the front door you are gobsmacked by the view! Stunning. The house is super comfortable and the host has thought of everything; great bed linens, hair dryer, games, binoculars, s’mores supplies, kayaks and water floaties. The kitchen is well stocked. We didn’t need a thing. We loved lounging on the deck and appreciating that view. Thanks for sharing your Lake House.

We just spent Labor Day weekend at Kim's amazing home. The view from the deck was unrivaled. We enjoyed swimming and kayaking on the lake. The steps are steep, but well worth the effort.

Beautiful Lake Cushman

I stayed at Samara Lake House for 5 nights with two families. It was perfect. Adults and kids had a great time swimming, exploring the lake on kayaks, cooking in the well-appointed kitchen, and enjoying sunset dinners on the deck. It was comfortable and perfect for a family vacation. As others have said in their reviews, the wifi is not reliable here, so leave your work at home!

Over all the property is beautiful with incredible views of the lake. The trampoline for the kids was an added bonus! The only negatives were that the internet is slow and not always available (at least for more than 2 people at a time) and the BBQ had not been cleaned. Despite these negatives, I would highly recommend this property.
