Relaxing family getaway or romantic hideaway - you pick!
We spent a week at this cozy home RIGHT ON THE LAKE and had a wonderful time! Clean indoors and beautifully maintained garden. Our kids had plenty to do with paddle boating, swimming, and catching (or not catching) frogs - and the adults could enjoy quiet days and nights overlooking the lovely lake. Kathy and Todd, the owners, live upstairs but give you your privacy. They are delightful, warm, and friendly and helped us navigate the city. I feel like I've made new friends with them! The property is a little over a mile from the transit center, so getting to Seattle for sightseeing was a quick (and inexpensive) 30 minute bus ride. It is also close to a park with plenty for children to do, including lake swimming! I look forward to returning. Thanks, Kathy and Todd!
Great place
We enjoyed our time emensley! Hosts were wonderful and very accommodating! Location was beautiful. Everything was clean.
Great place for couple or family.
Easy access to city of Federal Way. Highly recommend. If we are in the area again would definitely stay there again.
Great location - great view!!
We traveled up to Washington from California to spend a few days before a family wedding. This location worked well for us. It is close to shopping, activities, and great restaurants.
Kathy and Todd (owners) were friendly, helpful, and yet not "around" much. They were easy to work with prior to our arrival, always answering emails promptly. They were very attentive to any needs that we had during our stay - which weren't many because the house was well stocked. It was hard to get an impression of the living space from the pictures, The kitchen was minimal, which was perfect for us because we weren't interested in cooking big meals. I don't know how it would have been with more than just the 4 of us, there is only one semi private bedroom space. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back if we return to the area.
Paradise Gem
My daughters and I did a ride trip and Seattle was our final destination. When we arrived, the owner, Kathy greeted us and was so welcoming and kind. She showed us the place and it was like paradise, just magical. We were in awe of the beauty, the lake and the gorgeous flowers that Kathy does herself. The pictures do no justice, it is breath taking in person. The house has everything you can possibly need, from TV, kitchen utensils, towels, etc. Kathy and Todd are so awesome and I truly enjoyed our conversations. Thank you Kathy and Todd for opening up your home and being so kind to me and my daughters. We had amazing lovely vacation. This place is a Gem.
10 days on Steel Lake
We have rented the property for 10 days in June and July 2016. This home has served as our home base for 10 days, as we explored the area around Seattle. This was probably the best solution for our family of four, which includes two kids in middle school. We would go on day trips to Seattle, Vancouver, Olympic National Park and Tacoma. After each day trip, we would take a day off and spend the entire day at the house. The kids loved paddle boating, swimming in the lake, watching the ducks and frogs, and playing in the grassy back yard. The adults loved having a breakfast or dinner outdoor on the patio with the lake view, and simply relaxing with a book.
The hosts occupied the upper level of the house, and took great care to provide us with privacy. They were friendly, and helpful with suggestions for restaurants, things to do, and how to avoid the traffic.
The property itself was comfortable for the four of us, with plenty of windows to look at the lake. We almost always ate on the patio, with meals prepared after shopping at Trader Joe's or H Market ( Korean- Japanese store), both of which are within 2 mile drive. The bedroom is small, the bathroom has low ceiling, not for 7 foot basketball players. For future improvements, we would kindly suggest three minor things, better wi-fi internet, smaller cooking pot in addition to the 2 big ones, and better quality TV set. Also, in addition to the 2 paddle boats, we would love a small kayak or stand-up paddle board in the future.
We very much enjoyed our stay, and would like to come back.
Amazing!
My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was better than we expected! The place was beautiful! It was a very quick drive to Seattle but far enough away that you felt out in the country. The property itself was gorgeous with tons and tons of flowers. And the back porch opened straight to the little lake. My wife and I used the paddle boat more than once. There is a magnificent park right across the lake that has volleyball, basketball, fishing and so much more. The house was stocked with everything we needed and then some. Kathy and Todd were the best hosts. Our flight arrived super late but Kathy was ultra accommodating and even met us at like 2am to give us the tour and let us in. I have nothing bad to say.
Thank you Kathy and Todd! We will be back! - Josh and Vanessa
