Emerald Haven: Lakeside, Hot Tub, Firepit, Kayaks
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean upon arrival and the views were spectacular. The deck on the lake is quite large and provides for ample space to enjoy being out by the lake plus toys for water activities. It was definitely a trip to remember and very pleased with the overall experience!

Lake Crescent House+Olympic National Park+Hot Tub
Perfect location!!! we had six siblings that stayed in this house and we all just loved it. The hiking trails that we did were all close to this house. The views are stunning , we didn’t really get to be outside because of the rain, but we did thoroughly enjoy the hot tub. All the beds were comfortable, as well as the furniture. Well stocked kitchen and the host provided nice extras. Would certainly rent this house again.

Lake Sutherland Main house. Pets welcome!
We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Christina’s place that sits up above Lake Sutherland. The home was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. We especially loved the hot tub, fire pit, peaceful lake view, and the lush, quiet surroundings. The location was perfect for exploring Olympic National Park. Christina was a fantastic host—responsive, thoughtful, and full of great local tips. Everything was smooth and easy. We'd absolutely stay again!

View of the Lake at Lake Sutherland
Beautiful home in a nice quite neighborhood, the house was very clean and accommodating. Would love to stay here again! Thank you!

Lake Sutherland Waterfront Cabin w/ Expansive Dock
A beautiful retreat that makes you feel like you’re in your own world. Enjoy breathtaking views of the lake right from the couch or deck. We had quiet morning out on the deck with ducks and bald eagles fishing right in front of us. Hard to beat this place.

Secluded "Reflection Point" at Lake Sutherland
Well appointed lake front home with spacious decks and comfortable deck furniture. Centrally located to enjoy all the peninsula has to offer. Would highly recommend!

Olympic Peninsula 3-story Lake House
Stan and sally are amazing hosts and their home is beautiful!

ON LAKE! Perfect mid-point to Nat'l Parks!
Great stop along our path around the Olympic Peninsula! Water is right there with beautiful view-definitely feels like going back in time to stay the weekend with my granny even down to the Disney videos! It was a great visit!

Queen of the Strait at Olympic National Park
What an absolutely perfect weekend we had at Caitlin's! The house is beautiful, well appointed, and ALL the beds are comfortable, which is a bit of a rarity on AirBNB. The space allowed us to have a fantastic gathering of friends. We will definitely look here first for any future visits to PA.

Whidbey Island Getaway
We had an amazing time at this home. The big open windows bring in so much natural light, face the water and we caught a beautiful sunset as well. The hot tub was a great bonus. Lindsay was a very responsive host.

Lake Sutherland Cottage
My family has been lucky enough to stay at Kelly's place for many years in a row, and this summer we celebrated my husband's 50th at the lake! Each year we return, there is something new and improved around the cabin - this year it was a super comfortable new sectional! This place has everything you need: paddle boards, canoe, kayak, life jackets, pool noodles, ping pong, giant Connect 4, and comfy beds. Visiting this cabin is the highlight of our summer.

Eagle's Landing
It was beautiful and would definitely stay here again. The family loved it.

Gorgeous Lakefront Home w/Dock
Beautiful and relaxing! We truly enjoyed our stay - everything was wonderful and sitting on the deck with the gorgeous view of the water was the best!

Waterfront home by the beach
The place was wonderful. There was a beach we walked on and I was there for work. It was everything I hoped for. I intend to stay again.

Lake View and access, close to National Parks
The stay at Tara's place was amazing. It's a great home and beautiful location. We traveled with a 3 year old and a 11 month old and she provided great accomodations and there was plenty to do with fun games and toys.

Lakefront Olympic National Park Retreat | Hot Tub
tayed here over the Memorial Day weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better home base to explore Olympic National Park. The cabin is tucked away in a peaceful spot right on Lake Sutherland, offering stunning morning and sunset views. It was the perfect place to unwind after visiting Hurricane Ridge, Hoh Rainforest, Ruby Beach, and more. The cabin was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed—from a well-equipped kitchen to comfortable beds and a lovely deck to relax on. While the area has limited cell service, the Wi-Fi was reliable, and the seclusion added to the charm. Highly recommend for anyone looking to disconnect and soak in nature. We’d absolutely return.

Cozy Lake Crescent Cabin in Olympic National Park
The cabin had so many quality details! The location on the lake was picturesque. The long dock was so lovely to spend time on. The water in the lake is so clear. A family of ducks swam by multiple times. We could see fish in the water. We cooked in the kitchen and it was very satisfying. There was games and books to read. There were nice maps on the wall that helped me feel connected to Washington. The table outside was a perfect place for an evening meal. It was so private. It was quiet there. I almost forgot what that was like. I could enjoy the bird song. I would really like to come back to this lovely lakeside cabin and have Kristin as my amazing host again. She was so helpful!

Madrona Cottage
This is our second time on the property. Wow, increíble lake view and lots of stuff to do! Plenty of life jackets for the kids, kayaks and paddle boards. The jacuzzi was a plus at night ! We had a wonderful time!

EV-Luxury Unique Suite/Hottub/Sauna/cold plunge
Beautiful property—neat little nook tucked into the hillside. We really enjoyed the gas firepit on the patio! Really lovely place for adults to stay, slightly challenging with an infant because washing bottles is hard in the sink and the shower head is quite high so no ideal way to bathe the baby. Would highly recommend for adults or families with older children though! Property was gorgeous and the space very comfortable and romantic feeling. Hosts were very accommodating and set up a pack and play for us and were responsive and helpful when needed. We saw so much wildlife on the property it was very peaceful. Thanks! Hope to return!

Boathouse Bungalow
Lacey’s place was the perfect getaway. Close to great hiking and views. The lake was very peaceful and we enjoyed taking the kayaks out each night. We would definitely recommend this spot for anyone visiting this area.

The Brightside Wifi Netflix Relaxed Pet friendly!
The place was so beautiful and serene. The host was very helpful and great to talk to! It was a very lovely sty😊.

Romantic Westlake Cottage | Visit ONP | Sleeps 3
If you’re seeking a cozy and charming place nestled in the heart of the lake, this is the perfect spot for you. With ample dock space, it’s an ideal location for grilling and relaxing on the lake. The convenience of having paddleboards and kayaks available was a great amenity that we thoroughly enjoyed using. The comfortable beds make it a great place to unwind after a day of exploring the lake.

'The Perch' 3BR modified A-frame, W/hottub
The Perch was beautiful and well appointed. We enjoyed coffee on the porch in the mornings and the hot tub in the evenings. The kitchen had needed supplies and essentials and everything was easy to find. If we are back in Port Angeles we will rent again!

A special place for very special occasions.
Best experience I’ve ever had on Airbnb. The host was amazing and made everything so easy for us. Clear directions to get to the property. The property was immaculate. Special little note left for our special time there. My wife and I wish we would’ve had more time and cannot wait to bring our family back! Thank you for such an amazing ending to our trip.
Your guide to Lake Crescent
All About Lake Crescent
Washington’s Lake Crescent owes its existence to a massive earthquake that rocked the Olympic Mountains several thousand years ago. The resulting landslide dammed a river, causing a valley to flood and create this 12-mile-long, crescent-shaped lake. Now part of the Olympic National Park, Lake Crescent is known for its startlingly clear waters (a result of low nitrogen and algae levels) surrounded by old-growth forest. While the landscape feels remote and almost prehistoric, it’s welcoming to travelers of all levels of ruggedness. You’ll find plenty of outfitters to help get you out on the water along with well-tended trails that climb from the shore into the misty Pacific Northwest wilderness.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Crescent
Lake Crescent borders parts of Olympic National Park considered a rainforest, but it sees notably less rainfall. The weather remains temperate and cloudy through spring, with highs in the upper 60s Fahrenheit in May. The heat steadily climbs into the mid-70s through August, and July through September are generally sunny. Fall cools off to the 40s and 50s and brings spectacular foliage. In winter, lots of rain and average temperatures in the 40s keep all but intrepid travelers away. Whatever time of year you choose to go, pack good hiking shoes, layers for cooler spells during the day, and a wetsuit (or plan to rent one there — the water is chilly year-round).
Top things to do in Lake Crescent
Boating and Swimming at Lake Crescent
The earlier in the day you can get on the lake, the better. Wind tends to pick up in the afternoon. You can rent kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards (or sign up for group excursions) at several spots around the lake. Motorized boats are allowed, but to preserve calm waters they’re not permitted to go faster than five miles an hour. If you’re tempted to dive into the lake, head to Fairholme or East Beaches, where swimming is allowed.
Marymere Falls
On the lake’s south side, you’ll find the area’s other notable water feature: this 90-foot-tall waterfall, which rushes down from a groove in a cliff. Starting from the Storm King Ranger Station, you can reach viewing platforms by the waterfall via a 0.7-mile-long trail that is shaded by fir and cedar trees.
Spruce Railroad Trail
To experience Lake Crescent from a different vantage point, lace up your hiking boots. This densely forested trail tracks closely to the shore and then ascends above it at a moderate grade. It’s four miles long (eight miles there and back), though if you’re entering from the trailhead on North Shore Road, you only need to hike one mile in to reach the trail’s best vista—a bridge over a part of the lake known as the Devil’s Punchbowl.
