Nestled in the foothills of the Olympic Mountains, Olympic A-Frame is everything you want in a cabin: calm and cozy, classic yet contemporary, rustic but refined. With 850 square feet, you'll find both intimacy and space to connect. Includes upgraded appliances, linen sheets you can melt into, and almost an acre of outdoor space - you won’t want to leave! Five minute walk to Lake Kokanee, 10 minute drive to Lake Cushman and Hoodsport and 20 minutes to Olympic National Park’s Staircase entrance!
The Space:
A place to settle in and gather with family and friends, the main living space offers a free-standing midcentury fireplace and complimentary wood, table for board games and puzzles, interest books, bluetooth/record player combo with classic vinyl, and an extra cozy Poly & Bark sofa sleeper for two.
The kitchen is well stocked for cooking at home and includes all new appliances, dinner and drink ware for six, plus options for ALL the coffee (drip, press, pour over, regular and burr grinders). Complimentary herbal tea, hot cocoa and Cafe Vita coffee are provided.
An updated bathroom includes vintage Singer sewing machine vanity and complimentary bath and body products from Public Goods, soothing rain shower head, and both quick-drying Turkish and buttery soft waffle towels to dry off after your shower or a relaxing dip in the hot tub.
In addition to the sofa sleeper, there are two dedicated bedroom areas. Downstairs is a bedroom with a queen size bed and twin trundle allowing for flexible sleeping arrangements. Enjoy the topography wallpaper reminiscent of the changing elevation of the Olympic Mountain range.
Upstairs is an iconic and spacious a-frame ceiling sleeping loft where you’ll find the primary bedroom space. A flex closet space provides ample storage for clothing and full size washer and dryer combo. Additional sitting area with tv is the perfect place to cozy up with a good book or movie. Both bedrooms offer super soft (and perfectly wrinkly:) linen sheets and Pendleton wool blankets, as well as jviews overlooking a forested community green belt.
Out on the front deck you’ll find a six-person hot tub ready to go. Dining table for six and BBQ with tools and counter space for summer and shoulder season grilling adds to the vibe.
A fenced side yard for little ones and pooches alike also includes an all-weather extra stretchy hammock for hanging under the trees. Kick back and watch native Trillium flowers pop up from the rolling moss in early spring.
Out in the extended yard is a solo stove fire pit and durable Polywood adirondack chairs for s‘mores and after-dark hang outs. Recreational shed with kayaks, picnic gear, yard games, scooters, bicycles, snow play and more all available for use during your stay. Helmets and life jackets for both adults and children provided. This property is everything you want in a low key cabin surrounded by a truly exceptional regional outdoor playground. Message us for any details not included!
