What a beautiful location on Sylvia Lake. The area is quite rural but you don’t have to drive far for shopping, golf, good restaurants and friendly folks. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the wildlife. My granddaughter and I also had fun pedaling in the boat around the lake. The house was a perfect size and the king size bed was so comfortable. What a great find after spending the last five years vacationing in Poulsbo. We hope to return next summer, Thanks Michelle and John for always being on call for any questions!

Second time staying at this lovely home, we love it. It is exactly as pictured but better and the hosts keep it in GREAT shape, which can be an issue at times. Our family lives down the road and love hanging out when we have such a beautiful location for all to enjoy. There is fun stuff for kids in the hall closet and the paddle boat at the lake. Coffee on the deck, geese with their goslings, a serene setting for everyone. We’re planning on coming again.

This was a wonderful place to spend our first siblings vacation. The setting is beautiful and you can see the lake from so many places in the home. The home was spotless, kitchen well-stocked and plenty of comfortable spaces for the family to catch up and remember our childhood. It is on my list of favorite VRBO places.

Amazing Lake House

This was our 5th year staying in this house so that should tell you how much we love it! It is in a great location for walking around the neighborhood or just sitting on the deck and enjoying the scenery. It is also very close to downtown Gig Harbor. The hosts are great and have always been very helpful with any questions we have had. You should definitely stay here on your next trip to Gig Harbor.

Our family loves to travel in comfort so we wanted to offer that to others too. We owned an oceanfront vacation rental (Rago's Oceanfront Retreat) on Washington's Long Beach Peninsula for 12 years before purchasing this fun lakefront Gig Harbor home in 2017 and turning it into another relaxing home for guests to enjoy. Thank you for considering our beautiful home!

We love & live in Gig Harbor so why not have our business here too so we can share this fabulous community with others. We are happy to point out Gig Harbor gems for guests to enjoy.
