Cabin on the lake
Kevin was an amazing host. He was quick with responses anytime we needed to contact him. He's thought of everything you might need and more! We had an amazing time enjoying the lake and water amenities. We had no luck fishing, but theres plenty of fish jumping and we will try again the next time we stay! We went in mid-September, so a bit off season and it felt very private and cozy.

I had amazing time spending a couple of days here. It was peaceful and quiet at the cabin. The cabin really showed off it's pirate theme I adore it so much and the welcoming basket was great. Kevin made sure your stay was comfortable by having supplies for any activities for the lake and had enough supplies for bedding too. I am gonna come back here again in the future 😄

Kevin was a great host and answered all of my inquiries quickly and politely! We really enjoyed our time at the cabin - the kayaks were in great shape, the lake was gorgeous, and the master bed was very comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Cabin on the lake
Right on the lake, such a beautifull lake. Kevin thought of almost everything you could need and had it available at the cabin. Along with extra treats and surprises! He was very helpful with info and answered all my questions. I highly recommend a stay here.

I live in San Diego but I used to call this area home. I was looking for something that reminded me of all the things I love about the Pacific Northwest. This cabin surpassed all of my expectations.
I arrived to find a welcoming basket that took me by surprise. I’ll let you discover what was in it when you book your stay. The hosts had thought of everything I might need and more from a fully stocked kitchen, firewood for the wood stove inside or the fire pit outside, and plenty of coffee!
I stayed in the main room downstairs and it appeared brand new and thoughtfully designed to keep the charm. I did peak into the bunk room and found the pirate themed room adorable. I know my niece and nephew would have loved it.
I found myself forgetting how close I was to a city. I was surrounded by trees on all sides except where the lake opens up to you. My first morning, I went out to the dock just as an eagle dove into the water and caught a fish. That same day a family of four otters swam right past me and just minutes later I turned around to find two deer in the yard. I was traveling with my dog Baxter and was glad the hosts had put in a dog run so he could sit outside with me without me having to worry he would go chasing every furry critter that poked its head out. This was the PNW I remembered and loved!
I enjoyed this place so much, I was excited when the hosts told me I could extend my stay for two more nights. Thank you Kevin & Chris for opening your home for me to enjoy

What a wonderful time my family had at Kevin’s property. We stayed for my birthday and had a lovely time at the lake paddle boarding, swimming, and floating. We would love to stay again sometime.

Kevin's cabin was a-mazingg. Literally everything you need at your fingertips from cookware, to a grill, to a fire-pit, to kayaks and paddle-boards – the space was just great.
outdoor shower was a first for me and was awesome. porta potty within 20-30 feet from shower or so.
overall, just an awesome place to stay at.

Great experience. Host has created a very fun atmosphere, including pirate-themed decorations throughout including flags, pirate hats we all wore, kid friendly swords, and a pirate skeleton with cannon. Host put out kayaks, paddle board, paddle boat, row boat, and kid-bags of smores. The pictures do not do the site justice; fire pit area is large with picnic tables, seating, dog run; main room has a good kitchen with useful items, master bedroom is new and very nice with sliding glass doors to lake. Swimming and fishing was fantastic. Nice landscaping and rock work and the lighting at night is exceptional making it very special. Host was a great communicator. Port a potty isn’t far. We hope to return again

I would highly recommend Plank and Pillow on beautiful Lake St. Claire. Myself, my wife and granddaughter spent an amazing weekend there recently and we all wished we had booked it for longer.
The cabin is full of charm, from the rustic vibe to the upgraded master bedroom. The hosts (Kevin and Chris) are super easy to deal with and very accommodating.
There is so much to explore in the area and the lake itself is so unique with all of it's coves and different fingers. Lots of great fishing as well. Kayaks, paddleboard and paddle boat provided.
Lastly, the city of Oylmpia is a short drive away with world-class restaurants and great parks. You can even tour the Washington State Capitol if you so desire.
Once again, I recommend you book this property, you won't be disappointed!
We will be booking again in the future.
