Beautifully kept home in a beautiful location

We booked this home to hold a more intimate Celebration of Life for our mother. The space was perfect for this. Having the gane room kept the younger ones occupied. Having the bedrooms gave family & friends space if they needed breathe or cry in peace. So glad we found this.

Lovely home, but unfortunate shortfalls

The home's size and location fit our needs perfectly. We spent post-holiday time with family and enjoyed the festive tree and cozy fireplace. Rainy and cold weather allowed us to enjoy the ample rec room and ping-pong and foosball tables. The rental experience, though, fell short in three notable ways. 1. The listing states there's a washer and dryer. While true, a hand-scrawled note on the washer said it was to be used only in case of emergency. We'd been traveling for a week and were counting on using it but resigned to wear grubby clothes a few more days. 2. Host communication was disappointing. Messages sent weren't acknowledged and in one case a request was ignored. 3. While the overall home cleanliness was good, the kitchen could use a deep clean (sticky cabinets and knobs) and serious de-cluttering and organizing. Half of what's there could be tossed/replaced. I realize we were renters after a group that required the cleaning crew's full attention but bearing that brunt shouldn't have been our burden. None of this ruined our stay, but we hope future renters fare better than we did.

Amazing

This place was perfect for our weekend. The house has plenty of room and feels very homey; not like "just a rental". The lake is beautiful. The property is big - kids could run around & others were down by the lake just enjoying the peace. It was so quite & dark - the stars were amazing.

Another Great Event

During COVID my husband and I got married on this property with just our immediate family in attendance. 3 year later, we decided to hold our long-overdue wedding reception here. We had about 50 people and this was the perfect kicked back venue.

Beautiful intimate backyard wedding

We had our wedding in the backyard here with 65 guests and it was everything we had hoped for and more! Holly was nice and helpful! The property is beautiful in nature and private but still relatively close to Seattle and everything you need. It’s better than the photos can capture, the meadow and water at golden hour are truly stunning. The house is huge and has so many extra things for hosting events and fun toys to play with on the water. There were dumpsters and enough parking. We used their buffet tables and a nice dance floor and more. We rented a 30 x 60 frame tent, luxury bathroom stalls, dining tables and chairs, and brought in other things. We had catering, a dj, and bartender and it all worked out great. The ceremony was set up near the water, we set up the picnic table and yard games in the middle area, and the bar, dining, and dancing near the house. We had family stay at the house and some others even stayed at some nearby houses on the lake and were able to boat over to the wedding. We made many great memories playing on the lake, sitting around the bonfire, watching eagles, and enjoying the sunsets. Hope to come back again soon!

Hidden Gem

With the city hussle and bussle, this property provided our family an opportunity to unplug and enjoy nature. Our family truly enjoyed the home and all it had to offer. Teenage boys took advantage of all the the amenities offered on the property, including the canoes and sail boat on the property. Every morning we woke up to crisp air and rolling fog over the lake, that had us all in awe. Holly was so responsive and friendly. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

Beautiful property

The property was even better than expected. We were two families with three kids who always had something to do, from swimming, water sliding, exploring, to playing in the grass field - not to mention indoor activities like ping pong. The home was spacious and very clean. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great time. Our 2 adult sons and their families enjoyed the lake with the sale boat, row boat, canoe and paddle boards. Our 20 month old granddaughter even caught her first fish. The only complaint we had was we only stayed 5 days and the time went to quickly.
