Off grid mountain cottage with Amazing views & dry/steam wood heated sauna | Cottage in Hoodsport

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.
The space
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, dishwashing area and winter outdoor cooking area
Bunkhouse- includes a full-size bed and several bunks with toys & books for kids.
Main cabin-Includes a queen size bed, a pull-out couch bed, 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.
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 lanterns and head lamps for you use. Bathrooms - this is off grid-so plan on a potty being a permitted outhouse or a porta bucket... We are in the process of building an outdoor showering area, but for now you will have access to HOT showers down below at three of the private lake parks you have access to with your park pass.
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. We have recently also installed a fire heated steam or dry sauna to our little mountain retreat. You must sign a waiver of release and meet a certain age criteria to partake in the use of the sauna.
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 lake Cushman Maintenance building upon agreed meeting time.. Meet time must be between 4-8pm.
