Negatives: 1. Faucet handles needs upgrading. 2. No stopper on the sink. I use a Kleenex, to prevent anything small falling in the pipes. 3. The room is not so bright. I have to turn on the TV for additional lights, so I can see what I'm doing. I cut & sew! I need ceiling lights! 4. No EWTN TV. 5. The bathroom and the bed is not ADA Compliance. I have bursitis, so it's difficult for me to climb up the California Bed. We have that at home, but I get up on a step stool, to get in/out of bed. The tub is hard to get out, specially if it's slippery.

We were in room 25, with a gorgeous view of the Sound. We had two queens (haha, so very appropriate...!). The mattresses seemed new and were comfortable. The room was clean, the sheets fresh, the kitchen area clean and stocked with Keurig cups (well, that's a bit of a downer, but not their fault). The room was very nicely decorated with all kinds of quirky prints and hangings, making the room cheerful and fun. The TV was quite large (55" ?). The halls and other common areas were clean and well decorated, again cheerful and fun. The grounds include a parking area for RV's which was well organized, neat and tidy, with a couple green areas and some cabins on the North side, but that wasn't the main event... ! They have a very pretty little stream that even had a few flowers when we visited and which empties into the sound, where the estuarial mix of fresh and salt waters attracts birds (and fish? need to find out!). They have a small pebble beach with steps leading down where they said it is fine to launch a kayak or two! To the South there is a power plant outlet! My excitement might puzzle those of you who don't fish in Winter, but not only is it deep and fast running, but may be warm enough to attract fish. It, like everything else we saw about the waters, appeared clean and free of trash, as one might typically see nearby RV camping. And..., There are some lovely businesses nearby at HoodCanal. We had coffee there at a very nice little shop (HoodCanal Coffee, who'd have thunk it?) and then ventured next door to the little wine shop, which was FULL of curios, art, and so many lovely little things. The proprietress was wonderfully chatty and really helped fill us in on the area. And that leads us to the people... ! The nice lady running the hotel was out of the office (pro tip: there is a call button to the right of the office door that pages her, so just tap that), but popped up quickly. She was very friendly and, when we ran out of coffee creamer, which we mentioned in passing in the hall, she told me not to bother coming down the stairs to the office and that she would bring it right up, which she did. She also had more information on the local area that was very helpful. We were very pleasantly surprised and will certainly be back... with kayak(s)!

This place…read morecaptured all the magic of the hood canal we were looking for during our wedding, so we had half of our guests stay at Sunrise, and working with Shawn and Diana was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We've seen how the place has been transforming as they finished their construction, and the new rooms were a definite treat for our guests, with the amazing views and all the details they put into the new setup. Since we had the whole place for ourselves, we ended up having the afterparty at Sunrise and hanging out in the hot tub. Shawn and Diana were really transparent about the state of their construction, and helped us reach out to nearby hotels when we couldn't fit all of our guests at Sunrise. We are looking forward to seeing the last constructions finish and perhaps diving there at some point. It's going to be an even more amazing place than what it already is. Thank you so much!

It's updated & has all the basic amenities. I wouldn't say it is "4 stars" by normal hotel standards, but this is technically a motel and I'm rating as such. For a motel this place is updated, pretty clean, the Internet works and my bed isn't uncomfortable. I can see areas they missed cleaning but hey I can anywhere I go which is why I keep my hotel staying to a minimum. Also, it is by a busy road and although it isn't super loud, it is something to note. In addition, if you're on the bottom floor and have someone above you, be prepared for a lot of noise. Friendly service too!

Our family stayed here for two nights in July and loved it! It's a really ideal spot for kids for…read moreso many reasons - beautiful sites close to the water and general store; walking distance to the lake where they have single and double kayak and I think stand-up paddleboard rentals; and a public "beach" at Lake Cushman with seating, picnic tables, tons of shade. The campsite is nicely developed with clean bathrooms and roomy sites. It's a little more per night that your standard state or national park, but site amenities and property location more than make up for that. Outside of the amenities at Skokomish Park, the staffers there are all friendly and over the top helpful. In two days we interacted with multiple staffers and all were beyond helpful and nice, including (1) my daughter dropping her hot chocolate after buying it at the general store and staff insisting she replace it for free and (2) kayak staff being so nice and accommodating despite us obviously being their very last rental of the day (and probably standing between them and the end of the workday). However, the most over the top service we got was when our truck battery died and we went up to the general store to get cell service to call for a tow; when staff heard the issue, they insisted on jumping our truck that day, and when it died again overnight, they again insisted on jumping it rather than us calling AAA. The young couple that helped both times even refused a cash tip, saying they couldn't take it and were happy to help, and made us feel like it was sincerely no big deal for them to assist. Lake Cushman is beautiful and this property was the perfect way to experience it. Highly recommend!

To save our trip to the Lake Cushman area, we popped into the Skokomish Park area and paid the day fee and for an hour on a double passenger kayak. The water is so fresh and clear, very clean! The views once you're on the lake are breathtaking. We enjoyed our kayaking journey and chilled for a bit exploring the rest of the grounds after. It's a great, quiet, and safe recreational area where you can spend the day or overnight camp. The rangers in the office as you check in and the guys that help you with the kayak are all friendly and helpful. It was a great experience and we definitely plan to come back!

The place was almost booked solid and had great reviews so we contacted the owner right away and sent back the contracts. The contract was confusing in that it listed a pre-authorization of $500 AND a deposit equivalent to the first night's stay. When my boyfriend emailed the owner back he asked him to please clarify these details BEFORE charging the card. Instead, the owner ran the card for the entire amount of the vacation (2 nights) and gave us no warning. He refused to answer any of our phone calls and we left messages, trying to call several times over few days. He then told us that instead of a deposit he required a full pre-payment, which we pointed out was nowhere in the contract explanation. He then told us he would refund us our money and that they required pre-payment, in a tone that implied we should know this to be the standard. This is not standard. In fact my best friend lives with us and is a hotel manager for a very well known, high-end boutique hotel. Some places require a full pre-payment, but they are few and far between. At this point we felt like we weren't happy with his reluctance to talk to us over the phone but the place looked beautiful so we told him to please go ahead and charge us again, because we really had our heart set on staying there. Instead, he told us he had no interest in renting to us any longer. I've never worked with someone who was so quick to take my money (our card was charged immediately after we replied with the paperwork) but was also so resistant to answering our questions. If that's the kind of business you want to support, go ahead...but I think our money will be better spent with business owners who actually appreciate our money and don't mind us asking for a few details before they charge us.

It met all the requirements: not too far (less than 2 hour drive from Poulsbo); clean; and reasonably priced (a bargain). The website does a good job explaining the site and the amenities, but it undersells itself in the obvious care and meticulous attention to detail. You feel the pride in this quaint wonderful getaway. Sure, the kids loved the deer in the yard as we drove up but it was the fully furnished (no need to over plan) simplicity of the trip - to me it was the lack of TV and cell phone coverage that sealed the deal (kids still recovering from that..lol). I could actually feel my blood pressure going down just looking at that gorgeous lake and surroundings. I understand this place is booked all summer - so we are booking our vacation while we still can.
