We loved the property, everything about it. It was large and very well laid out for a group like ours and we very much enjoyed the large yard and decks.
We had a wonderful stay while visiting for a wedding nearby. Very cozy, inviting, and well-equipped home that we found was more than suitable for our needs. Thank you for having us!
This was our yearly trip for my 2 sons and me. The property was easy to find and close to a lot of food and such. The house itself was spacious - way too big for the 3 of us and had everything we needed! I appreciated that nothing that was left for guests was expired and the two pianos for is to play! Was a fun time!
We rented this house for out of state family who flew in for a wedding. The house was big enough for everyone, and the bonus was the big yard with a playground and toys for the kids. A great find!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this home. It was spacious and gave us plenty of room for visiting, playing games, preparing meals, and eating together. The back deck had plenty of room too, although we only used it once because of the cooler weather. The home was well stocked and had everything we needed to feel like we were at home away from home. It also was close to Lake Sawyer where there were easy to access walking trails. The small towns nearby also gave us options for fun outings on days when we didn't want to go all the way in to Downtown Seattle. The hosts were communicative and responsive , and it was clear they wanted to make sure that their guests had a good stay.
Very comfortable house with everything you need. Beautiful view, had visits from all kinds of forest creatures. Very comfortable furniture, couches, chairs, beds, shower, etc. Home is big, and built for family get togethers. My Grandaughters came to visit and had a blast playing all around the house and yard. Owners super friendly and easy to talk to. Thank you for a very pleasurable vacation.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We enjoyed having you. You were a model guest. I am glad your granddaughters had fun!
The house was just perfect for our family! We were there for an ash release ceremony near a lake for my niece. Coming back to the house was just what we needed afterwards. The kids played games outside. Some enjoyed the theater room. And we all ate together in the spacious well stocked kitchen. The many lovely bedrooms and seating areas made it so we never felt crowded. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. You are gracious and generous hosts!
Have stayed here 3 times now and really enjoyed each stay. The house is a great size with plenty of room for everyone. The host is easy to contact and responds quickly.
