Welcome to your peaceful lakefront cabin on Summit Lake, just 20 minutes from Olympia. Tucked among the evergreens, this cozy one-room retreat offers a private dock and direct lake access for swimming, kayaking, fishing, boating, and relaxing. It's ideal for solo travelers or couples looking for a quiet nature escape. Two-person kayak provided seasonally, subject to weather and equipment availability.
The cabin sleeps up to 2 adults on two comfortable fold-flat sofas with clean linens and pillows provided. The cozy living space includes a dining area, Roku smart TV, WiFi, and window A/C during June to August.
Kitchen & outdoor living
The kitchen includes an oven, stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, cookware, and everything needed for simple meals or more ambitious cooking. There is no dishwasher, so dishes are washed by hand using the provided eco-safe soap.
The private deck has a BBQ grill and table for two. At the water's edge you'll find a picnic table, lawn chairs, and fire pit. Bring dry firewood and enjoy an evening by the lake.
Lake & dock
Swim or fish directly from the private dock. A two-person kayak is provided for guest use. Small boats and kayaks may be launched at the nearby public boat ramp and tied to the dock during your stay. Please bring your own boat bumpers and lines.
Bathroom, shower & water
The cabin uses an Incinolet incinerating toilet rather than a conventional flush toilet. It's easy to use, but guests must follow the provided instructions and use a liner for every use.
There is no indoor shower. A private outdoor shower is available May–September.
The property is not connected to a septic or municipal water system. All water is hand-delivered to the cabin and stored in a limited-capacity tank, so conservation is essential. Only provided eco-safe soaps may be used in the sinks and shower.
Linens & towels
Clean sheets, pillows, mattress pads, and comforters are provided. Guests normally bring their own bath and swimming towels. Hand towels, washcloths, and kitchen towels are provided. If you're traveling and need bath or swimming towels provided, let me know in advance and I'll make arrangements.
Good to know before booking

No pets, smoking, or parties.
Booking guest must provide photo ID and sign the rental agreement and Incinolet-use acknowledgment.
Summit Lake is known for its clear water, fishing, swimming, and paddling. Downtown Olympia's restaurants, shopping, groceries, and antique stores are about 20 minutes away. The Olympic Peninsula and Pacific Coast also make great day trips.
If you're looking for quiet mornings, beautiful sunsets, fresh air, and time on the water, this little lakeside cabin is a wonderful place to unplug.
