Lake Entiat Waterfront Estate - Pool, Hot Tub, Boat Launch, Dock (sleeps 16)

About Darby

We are Washington State natives and owner's of a residential construction company. We have three young children and a desire to raise our children with an appreciation for family, community and faith in God. We built this home purely so we could could enjoy time with our family, friends and invite others into community with us. This property has been a blessing to us. We are thrilled to be able to make it available to others so that they might have the opportunity to connect with family and friends in the same way we have.

Darby purchased this House in 2010

Why Darby chose Orondo

This property is suitably named "Sunken Acres" because it is actually 12 acres, however, today only 2 1/2 acres remain above the water. Lake Entiat (also called Rocky Reach Reservoir) was formed following the building of the Rocky Reach Dam in 1962. We were in search of the perfect property - not only for our family, but a place where our friends and community could all come together to connect and build memories. We fell in love with property first and foremost because of its breathtaking waterfront location on a private little cove and the proximity to Seattle. Only 2 1/2 hours drive, it is easy to make the trip for a weekend getaway. The location boasts the amazing seasons of Eastern Wa with lots of snow in the winter and plenty of sun in the summer. We love that we can play there all year around! The original property had a rambler that had been completely gutted and was condemned. We decided to start over and design & build an amazing home that captured the views and was specifically designed for hosting large groups.
