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.
