We really enjoyed our stay - particularly the view of the lake, hanging out on the dock and taking the kayaks out on the lake. The cabin was also very clean upon our arrival. The only issue we experienced was weak water pressure, but this may just be a nuance with "cabin-living".
We enjoyed this little lake cabin near Port Angeles. Great location near hiking and near town. The view is beautiful! Clean cabin! A couple reasons I didnât leave 5-Stars are because of the steepness of the property is not represented on the listing well enough in my opinion. We managed ok but some definitely would not. Also, no propane in the tank (grill) when we arrived even though I messaged to ask in advance since I was buying food to cook on the way in. And, the dishwasher is broken. Still had a great stay! Just needed a bit more to rate 5-Stars. Would stay here again just being better prepared.
What a wonderful cabin with a stunning view of Lake Sutherland! The cabin was spotless inside. We had 4 adults staying and we all fit comfortably in the cabin. I would definitely stay here again!
Steep, slippery stairs to access the property. For anyone with hip or knee issues, this can be a huge problem. It was for us. Be aware that you will need to turn the hot tub on. While they did turn it on for us, the beams above were so infested with spider webs and nests, it was bad enough that we didnât want to use it.
The beds upstairs need to be replaced. They are awful. The bed downstairs is ok for 2 nights max. any longer than that and back pain is a high probability. The carpeting on the stairs was fairly dirty and should be cleaned. Overall the cleaning was the typical property management, bare minimum style clean. Nothing over and beyond like cleaning dead bugs out of the windows.
The trail to the lake - do not risk it. There was no way we were going down that trail. Death or serious injury may result.
Nice views though, terrible safety concerns with those stairs to get to the house. The stairs, broken dishwasher, dangerous trail are not mentioned in the ad on Expedia which is unfair and unscrupulous.
I was surprisingly offered a refund before I checked in, however we had already planned the trip, and couldnât back out.
The pictures are not what the house actually looks like inside. Also didnât care for the layout upstairs - youâd think they would have more comfy furniture facing the actual lake.
All in all, itâs a below basic, dated, rundown lake cabin Vacasa charges the highest rates for that simply isnât worth it. We will not stay here again.
This worked four the four adults that stayed at the
Eagles Nest.
Only wish more of my family members could have
been able to either stay,or come for the day to share a meal together .

was a nice break for him,also the canoe for b
Eagles Nest was a beautiful peaceful relaxing property. We enjoying swimming, kayaking, and using the hot tub. This property met all of our needs for being convenient to ONP while allowing time to rejuvenate at the lake. The views are stunning from the top deck!
It turned out to be bigger than I expected. The bathroom is a good size and the upper deck is huge. The kitchen was big enough to be comfortable to cook in, but we mostly grilled out on the deck. The spa was so nice after spending the day hiking.
The path down to the dock was steep but itâs a nice dock and we were able to use the kayaks provided. The driveway is level but the gravel road down is quite steep. The booklet in the cabin recommends parking up on the road next to the highway if you donât have AWD. The washer and dryer arenât functional, but all the other appliances worked. I really appreciated the electric kettle.
The location is really good for visiting Lake Crescent. We were able to hike from the Storm King ranger station and also bike around the lake on the Spruce RR trail. Itâs not too far from the coast if you want to visit the beaches.
The big bed was a bit noisy and hard so we didnât love it. Itâs in the room downstairs with no door if that matters to people. We didnât have extra guests but the upstairs bedroom with the bunk beds looked nice for younger kids.
The view is stunning. Thereâs several large trees on the property so itâs a nice mix of view and privacy. The traffic noise is noticeable outside on the deck, but we otherwise didnât hear it. Overall we were very happy with this place and weâd be glad to come back again.
Appalling invasion of privacy and misleading advertising.
Security cameras in the listing does not cover it. They are placed specifically to watch guests and are obviously being actively monitored. I have two teenage girls and I felt so uneasy that we had no alternative but to leave. Property management just said it was my problem. No even partial refund for my three night stay. Oh and it is right beside Highway 101 so despite the pretty pictures - if it is peace and quiet you want this is definitely not it!
This is a spectacular location; a memorable home.
Unfortunately, the kitchen attention: the oven doesn't work, the back burners barely simmer, no toaster, dim from several burnt-out lights, and missing lots of necessities (whisk, sealable containers for leftovers). You don't expect much from a vacation kitchen, but this one was notably sub-par, especially for a remote location where you want to be able to bring your food. The grill worked ok, so we survived, but wasted some food (frozen pizza) and expected better for the price.
There were a couple of other things: the hopper for the heating stove makes an unbearable grinding noise, there is a old-fashioned light timer in the kitchen that loudly ticks 24/7 and the outdoor seating is really lacking.
Even with all those bumps, it's hard to imagine a more beautiful and inspiring location. The house is perched on a very steep hill overlooking a pristine lake and a few miles from incredible hiking around lake crescent. It is as convenient of a place as you can find for exploring Olympic National Park. The place is beautiful and reasonably spacious for a mountain cabin (the tv area is tiny, but who wants to be inside when staying at a place like this).
Some notes: Only reserve if you are fit enough for lots of steep slopes, don't bring your rental car down the driveway, and the access is about 100 years east of what Google Maps claims.
This cabin on Lake Sutherland was a perfect hideaway for our family vacation! With beautiful views of the lake on both decks and a deck with kayaks, we truly loved this lake house oasis! Itâs location is ideal for Lake Crescent, ferries to BC from Port Angeles, and other destinations in Olympic National Park like the Hoh rain forest, Rialto beach and Ruby beach.
The property should not be allowed to be rented out until they get the sewage fixed. The entire stay, we could smell sewage in our bedroom and outside the house anytime we flushed the toilet. Absolutely disgusting and hazardous. The hot tub didnât work for a while either, but was fixed on day 3.
The porch & setting were spectacular and home nice - however there are just two tiny deck chairs that were too small for a male adult to fit in and no cushions that were designed for the spring chairs.
And
One porch table that could use cleaning but no chairs for it.
A few key details would make this overall an excellent experience.
Thank you!
