This home is wonderful and Cheryl is a great host.

We celebrated our daughter's wedding in Issaquah and were looking for a home that was large enough to accommodate a dozen people from out of town. Everyone had their own beds, and we didn't even make use of the rollaway beds or the inflatable mattresses. Having 4.5 baths is also a big benefit when you have a lot of people trying to get ready for a wedding at the same time!

Besides staying there, we also had a open-house brunch for about 35 people and a rehearsal plus a catered rehearsal dinner for 40 people. There was more than enough room for everyone to stay inside, but many took advantage of the unseasonably nice weather and sat on the outside, 2nd floor veranda or the 1st level patio below.

The kitchen is large and had enough plates, serving dishes, eating utensils and coffee mugs for all the people. We had to use plastic cups, but really preferred to do that to minimize the risk of breakage. There are 3 dishwashers (one standard dishwasher and two for large cookware or additional dishes) and a 6-burner commercial grade stove with two ovens. There is also a warming drawer, and ice-maker, two drawers for chilling canned drinks, plus a counter-depth refrigerator and freezer. The large island was perfect for laying out trays of food. There are two dining tables, one large and more formal, and one round, with total seating for 16 comfortably, but with additional chairs, you can easily seat 20.

There is a very nice, high-end sound system, though it clearly had more features than I was able to figure out. Really, everything we needed to accommodate our guests was there!

It is very close to SeaTac & is about 30 minutes from Issaquah, downtown Seattle & many other pts of interest. The view of Lake Washington is stunning. Had we time, we would have rented a boat & made use of the private dock.

Take care, when looking at the pictures, to distinguish between pictures which apply to the main house, and which apply to the downstairs 2-bd place. The main house is on the 2nd and 3rd floors, while the 2-bd is on the 1st or lake level floor. The bedrooms are all on the 3rd floor. The front door to the main house is at st. level & opens to the main (or 2nd) floor. An outside spiral staircase leading from the 2nd floor down to 1st floor (lake level) gives access to the lawn area & BBQ. There is no internal staircase to get from the 2nd to the 1st floor unless you also rent the 2BD unit.
