Description of the Property
Cottage on Lake Crescent, completed in the spring of 2005, is newly available to those who love a spectacular setting for an adventuresome or restful vacation. Located in the Olympic National Park on Barnes Cove at the base of Mt. Storm King, the cottage faces spectacular views of the lake and mountain ridges. Within an easy walk, through ancient forests are Lake Crescent Lodge, Storm King Ranger Station, a public boat launch, and scenic nature and hiking trails.
The cottage provides a gracious setting for indoor-outdoor vacationing: swimming, canoeing or kayaking right from the beach, scuba diving, sunning at the doorstep, a bonfire by the beach or an evening indoors by the woodstove.
Families are welcome, children 6 and older. Seniors will enjoy comfort and convenience: everything on one level, no steps, drive up to the door.
The Great Room is spacious and light, perfect for lake-side viewing. The kitchen is new, pleasing and comfortable. The bedrooms are cozy and quiet. The bath is generous and features a glass block shower. The front-loading washer/dryer can keep swim towels fresh.
Lake Crescent, 620' deep shimmering jewel, was carved by a huge glacier thousands of years ago. It rests within the northern borders of Olympic National Park, 20 miles west of Port Angeles, Washington on Highway 101. The pristine, crystal-clear blue lake quietly hugs steep mountain ridges, clad with ancient forests of western hemlock, Douglas fir, grand fir, and at the lower levels: moss-draped big leaf maples and alder.
Airport: Port Angeles International Airport
