The house, views and property were great! It was very clean with comfortable beds and a good shower. The kitchen had great appliances and cookware. I booked this house specifically for the view of Mt. Rainier, and it is spectacular, and kayaking nearby is a pleasure. The eagles, seals and herons were fun to watch. The owner is very helpful and friendly. I would move there if they let me. To clarify, the upstairs bedroom is an open loft, and there is only a bathtub in the ensuite. The shower is downstairs. The internet service is very weak, do not count on it..

While the house and surrounding scenery are beautiful and unmatched, the best part of our stay was the hospitality that Mike and Shelley extended to us! Thank you for sharing your canoe and bounty with us, we are still talking about how rested we felt and how much fun we had connecting with each other over conversation, cooking yummy seafood food at the house, and watching the wildlife from the beach. We hope to be back some time!

Absolutely Phenomenal

This property is absolutely amazing! Myself, husband, 2 kiddos (4 & 6), and parents stayed for 3 nights. We did not want to leave! Being on the water was so picturesque and relaxing. The location is very remote and private. We brought 3 kayaks and were able to easily put in from the property and paddle around the gorgeous water. I highly recommend and we will be back in the future!
