Remote off-grid mountain cottage that sits on atop a ridge on 5 acres. If your looking for solitude, peace and quiet, look no further. The Kings Cottage is located in Hoodsport, WA above the beautiful Lake Cushman and Lake Kokanee. Our special place on the mountain is a few minutes drive to downtown where you can enjoy the local fare and steps away from the Olympic National Park and beautiful Mount Elinor and access to private parks on the lake. You can, hike, go swimming, fishing, play golf frisbee.. so many activities here in Hoodsport, WA.After the 3-mile drive up the forest rd. (4-wheel drive not necessary but advised during winter months) after the first locked gate, you will arrive at our little haven on the mountain. Please read the full description before booking. Parking-The gated driveway is a little steep, but you should be able to get your vehicle up. My daughter has a Honda civic and goes right up it. There is however parking down below on the side to the left of the driveway if you don’t think you’ll make it. At the top of the driveway there is parking space for about 3 vehicles. Pole Barn- Includes the view room(King size bed), dishwashing area and winter outdoor cooking area Bunkhouse- includes a full-size bed and several bunks with toys and books for kids. Main cabin-Includes a queen size bed, a pull-out couch bed (queen) fireplace, and kitchenette. Our cottage on the mountain is located 20 minutes to town and about 35-40 minutes to Staircase national park. We are located in a private gated mountain community towards the top of Dow Mt. Here you will find just about every amenity you will need to enjoy your stay. We provide all linens, bedding and starter supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, oil; spices, coffee & creamer and have a fully loaded kitchen. Be aware we do not have toasters or microwave. All food will have to be cooked on the stove, BBQ or firepit. We will also supply propane for the BBQ and 2 cans of propane for each unit. We are a dry cottage, which means no electricity or water. However, we will have 25 gallons of water for use and a case of water for drinking to get you started. Please bring extra water with you. We will also supply wood for both the firepit and indoor fireplace. For electricity we have solar powered lights on the outside and lights on the inside of each unit powered by battery banks. We also have head lamps for you to use. Bathrooms, this is off grid-so plan on a potty being a permitted outhouse or a porta bucket... We have a lot of wildlife on the mountains. I have seen 4 bobcats up here since we bought the place in 2019. Although I haven’t seen any Cougar up here, they have been caught on camera on a neighbor’s property and it seems like the houses down on the lake have more problems with them then we do. We have ton of birds. My favorites being the pair of Ravens who like to come and visit us almost daily when we visit. Be aware of your surrounds, I would highly suggest bringing a whistle, bear spray or airhorn to carry on you. The property has an inground firepit and a propane fire pit for a different sitting area. From the main firepit you can see Mt Saint Helens on a clear day and the hood canal down below. During the summer months we have an outdoor cooking and eating area, but that gets moved under the pole barn during the winter. This property is an outdoor adventurer’s heaven. Do you like to pick mushrooms, go fishing, go on a hike, spend a day at the lake, play frisbee or regular golf? Do you like solitude and privacy? This is your place. If you want a little town life, the town of Hoodsport has a bar with the best broasted chicken you will ever have. There is wine tasting, a distillery, and a local brewery. The town also has a couple of cute shops and a coffee shop. There are two grocery stores. One in town and one small convenience store shortly before the turn off. When renting our property, you will get a pass that will allow you to park and enjoy 3 private parks around Lake Cushman and Lake Kokanee. You can bring your own floatation’s down or rent kayaks from us. This pass will also get you into some hot showers! If you are wanting to bring a boat or trailer, I will have to get those passes for you in advance. Because of the location of the cabin and the fact we are only allotted a certain amount of keys, owner will meet you at the gate to bring you up. Meet time must be between 4-7pm. Guest access Guest will have access to the main cabin, bunkroom and view room. You will be all by yourselves on the 5 acres. Other things to note If you plan on visiting the beautiful private Lake Cushman parks, you will need a car pass, boat pass, or trailer pass depending on your adventures here and will need to be purchased through me prior to your arrival Monday-Friday. I will need to go to the office and purchase these. Payment will be due prior.

Beyond expectations!

This property is amazing and as other people have said, Lezli thought of everything. Everything we needed was there, and then some. My fiancé and I, my parents, my brother and his girlfriend, and our big German Shepherds all stayed here for three nights. Everyone was comfortable, slept well, was relaxed, and enjoyed their time. The outdoor kitchen was equipped enough for our slightly gourmet (for camping) meals. The rooms are all cozy and very nicely decorated. The battery operated lights and the ability to charge devices was thoughtful and worked so great. We used the outdoor shower each day and, man, what a great addition. There is ample seating all over the property. There is a burn ban so we could not use the sauna or have a wood fire, but the propane fire was all we needed, and now we want one at home! My fiancé and I stayed in the view room, and I could have laid on that bed and gazed at the trees all day. It is so beautiful. The dogs were happy and enjoyed tons of off leash time around the property. I cannot say enough about this place and all of the thoughtful details! We realized too late that there were materials to paint rocks (which is such a cool idea!) We will definitely be back, and next time I’m using that sauna!! Thank you Lezli!

Perfect Retreat & Exceptional Host

My husband and I stayed at Lezli's beautiful off-grid cabin on 5 acres in the Olympic National Forest, and it was the perfect getaway for his birthday. We were seeking peace and serenity, and this place truly delivered. Despite being off-grid, the solar battery packs provided kept our devices charged and the string lights on as much as we needed throughout our four-day stay. The wildlife was abundant, and while we didn’t encounter any bears or cougars, the provided bear spray offered peace of mind. Lezli is an exceptional host—welcoming, flexible, and accommodating, clearly passionate about sharing her stunning space with others. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience and are already planning our next visit, possibly with friends, as there are multiple tiny-house cabins on the property for additional guests. The listing is accurate and thorough, so make sure to read it carefully before booking. Our dog also loved the tranquil setting, and we enjoyed nearby activities like rock hounding and exploring the charming town of Hoodsport. We highly recommend this retreat for anyone looking to unwind in nature.

Pampered paradise

Had such a great time at this retreat! Lezli is the world’s greatest host. If you want a less busy park with great swimming, highly recommended Lake Kokanee division 9 spot.

The "St. Helens" A-frame w/ a view

Lezli's A-frames and cabins are so beautiful, surrounded by forest and with a lovely view. My sister and I had a wonderful stay - everything we needed was provided for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend if you are interested in a quiet, peaceful getaway. My sister and I drove into the Olympic National Park for hiking on all three days. Two days we hiked close by and the third day we drove up to Port Angeles (about 2 1/2 hours) and saw the sights up there. We had an amazing time!

Amenities for days!

We had such a fantastic time! The kings cottage was perfect for a 2 couple stay (you could probably do 3 couples if one pair doesn’t mind sleeping in a double bed). If you work with Lezli to book the A-frames, you could have a big crew at the site easy-peasy. Lezli has the space completely stocked with everything you need for camping and more. Lights, head lamps, towels, face masks, firewood, chairs (indoor and outdoor seating), cushions, coffee, tea, dishes, cozy blankets, spices, trash cans, hand washing station, some light snacks just in case, bird seed (treats for the squirrels and salamanders too), activities from knitting to rock painting to board games to discs for the local disc golf course— she has thought of everything! All you need to bring is yourself, clothes, some extra drinking water, mosquito repellent, and food. We could have easily spent our entire time relaxing at the site. It was nice to have separate buildings for each couple so we didn’t have to worry about snoring waking up each other up (and they were really sound proof). Lezli was so wonderful to accommodate us with a late check out. The view is unbelievable and you can see it from inside the sauna. The photos really don’t do it justice. There is much love put into every detail. Each cabin feels unique but cohesive. Serene and quiet and no neighbors to worry about when you’re laughing over a late night smore’s session. if you’re thinking about booking here do it! We hope to come back next year!
