About this property

Idyllic Lakefront Getaway

A BRAND NEW HOME
Perfect Washington State vacation / holiday getaway rental by owner in this lakefront setting on Lake Morton, WA near the town of Covington, Washington. This once modest 1950's ranch style home has gone through a massive transformation in 2013. Designed by Matthew Coates Design and constructed by Mehl Homes, it now features modern, northwest architecture living room, dining room and cook's dream kitchen with simple lines, open concept, original restored wood floors and wood-burning fireplace, custom millwork, soaring ceilings, modern lights and lots of natural light and spectacular lake views.

UNMATCHED LAKEFRONT BEAUTY
While the home is special, the natural setting of Lake Morton and the property may be even better! 100 feet of beach lakefront and dock and a large yard set on an acre of beautiful, Northwest landscape, with views of Mt. Rainier. The house has two comfortable, quiet and dark bedrooms (perfect for deep, relaxing sleep), one large and one moderate sized.

ULTIMATE LAKEFRONT GETAWAY
Bring work or leave it all behind. Includes a flat-screen TV, cable, DVD movies, music CD's and stereo. If you have to check email or take an important call, you can do so with free WIFI and good cell phone coverage. Best of all, you can do both while sitting on the end of the the dock on the lake.

SHARED ENTRY to TWO PRIVATE SPACES
We have a full time tenant who lives in the semi-detached studio cabin. She is quiet, trustworthy and a great gal. She takes care of our hot tub and can help with any questions you may have.

SHOPPING & SERVICES NEARBY
You won’t have to be prepared to arrive at Lake Morton, WA. There is Costco, Fred Meyer, Safeway, Walmart, many restaurants, and three (3) Starbucks just 10 minutes away!

IDEAL WASHINGTON STATE VACATION / HOLIDAY RENTAL
The house is ideal for a friends getaway, one or two couple on hiada, or a family with kids. The larger bedroom is outfitted with a TV, movies, games, books and bunk beds for a flexible space away but just adjacent to the main living space.

Beautiful and spacious house on Lake Morton
Jennifer‘s lake house, among beautiful gardens, is the perfect vacation spot with an amazing kitchen and awesome views from the wall of windows in the house and from the deck. The house is fully equipped with all you need to prepare meals and barbecue. There are even spices in the cupboards and condiments in the fridge. We really enjoyed our two week stay and Jennifer is the perfect host.

fantastic!
We went for a Thanksgiving trip and to spend a few days with our son who goes to college at UW. The house is even better than it looks online! Great views out on the lake, a great kitchen and a cozy living room with a large dining table. It had everything we needed, including a jacuzzi, which everyone loved. It rained quite a bit, but it didn't matter because the house was so nice and warm (no forced air, but radiators, which provide such a nice, cozy heat). The only small negative is a single bathroom, but it worked out ok for the 4 of us. Jennifer, the host, was great, super responsive. Great stay, we need to go back in the summer.

Beautiful lake house
We love this house because it’s a beautiful lakefront location, yet not far from groceries, restaurants, etc. The kids loved the big backyard, board games, stuffies, piano and water activities.

magnificent,classy,beautiful stay at this home, fun for families or a romantic get away.
Beautiful location, can’t say enough about this wonderful home. My family came together to celebrate our mom and wanted to honor her with a nice getaway on a lake, like when we were kids. This home was even more amazing then the pictures on VRBO , you just need to see it and how serene and peaceful it truly is. Even my 14 yr old fell in love with the lake and wanted to stay. Our family enjoyed fishing, canoeing, sitting in the jacuzzi at dawn and then swimming in the lake. The jacuzzi was perfect temp and super clean. We ended each night sitting by the outdoor fireplace. The kitchen is truly a chefs dream, we enjoyed my family baking a traditional German cake and loved honoring our father with a great BBQ. We will truly miss the cute ducks that came to the window and we gave them pieces of bread, they followed my son everywhere. The beds were really comfy and plenty of open spaces for relaxing indoor or outdoor. We enjoyed playing the piano with the deck doors open to the deck and looking out to the lake. We could of stayed here a month easily and felt truly rested when leaving. My family talks everyday about how perfect this place was and that it made our reason for getting together so wonderful with memories to last a life time. The tenant that shares the property in the attached guest house is super sweet and we invited her to join in on the BBQ but you really feel as if you have the whole property to yourself and she gives you your privacy.All I can say is thank you Jennifer for giving me this beautiful time with my family. We look forward to coming back just to hang out and experience this relaxing getaway again.

Felt right at home.
The property was more then we expected. Anything you might reach for is there. The kitchen is huge. There is even a grand piano. Good mattresses on the beds too. This lake is very tranquil, kayaks floating by, and friendly ducks greet you. Great dock with a slide for kids to enjoy.

Had a very comfortable stay. The house, with its spacious living room and kitchen area, was perfect for relaxing after a long day of site seeing. The front and back yards are beautiful and we'll maintained, as well as lake front and dock. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Great pandemic vacation
This property was a perfect place to vacation and get together with my grandkids during the pandemic. We were able to spend plenty of time outdoors enjoying the lake. We used every water toy and boat provided. The oldest liked the paddle board, the other 2 liked kayaking. My son and I enjoyed the canoe. On the cooler days we played ping pong, horseshoes, fished, and enjoyed cooking hotdogs and marshmallows at the outdoor fireplace. I highly recommend this property!

Lovely lake getaway
We had such a nice time at Lake Morton. The house was perfect- the kitchen is top notch!! And the space was great to just relax in. I felt right at home. And, the outdoor space is so nice- it feels like there’s a whole other house outside!! We had a great time on the water, and there are plenty of kayaks to use. And the water is not very cold- very swimmable. There are great views of Mt Rainier once you’re out on the lake. We also loved the road around the lake- where you can walk or run. All in all, it was just what we needed!

Great Location.
Owner was very accommodating. Early check in and lenient check out very appreciated. There was a small issue with sugar ants she found before out arrival but had addressed them with pest control. So had a few still roaming. We have rentals so know these things are sometimes not noted when you are not on property living yourself. She was very concerned and apologetic. I would rent here again. Lake front was awesome.

Fabulous Lakehouse for playing and relaxing
We just returned from our trip and Jennifer's place was wonderful. Even though it was cold outside, we all managed to go canoeing on the lake and it was perfect. Even my 15 yr old that doesn't like the outdoors, had a great time! The kids made s'mores in the firepit and played hide and seek for hours. I was able to enjoy my fill of coffee with the Keurig, tried Nespresso, got my fill of Christmas movies watching TV, enjoyed an evening fire in the fireplace (I live in Vegas and don't have a fireplace anymore), and the kids played a bunch of board games. Overall, a perfect vacation. The only thing to make it better would have been access to a washer/dryer onsite, but my brother in laws family lives less than 10 min away so it worked out. Would love to visit in the summer where we could make more use of the water toys. Thank you Jennifer!

Great location and the kitchen is amazing!!
This property is exactly as described and absolutely lovely. It was closer to the lake than I thought in would be and the house has really nice features such as an extra large kitchen with top of the line appliances and vaulted ceilings which gives it a very open feeling. The layout accommodated us very well and we had a wonderful Thanksgiving there. I would really like to rent this property again in the summer so we can kayak and canoe on the lake. Thanks for a great stay.

Lake Morton House
This was our first time staying here on Lake Morton and we had a wonderful time. The house comfortably fit our group and the kitchen was perfect for cooking several meals during our stay. The view of the lake is breathtaking and we loved having the firepit by the water. It is a beautiful house and a great place for a getaway. We will definitely be back to stay sometime soon!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Ayre

Host profile image
Jen purchased the home when she was working as a High School music teacher locally. She's since moved onto become a Sommelier, entrepreneur and wine educator. Brent is a tech executive.

Why they chose this property

We love the history of the property - the 'cabin' was the first building built on Lake Morton in the early 1950's. We love how the house is set back from the lake, taking advantage of lake views, providing privacy and a large yard. The original owner was President of the local gardening club so many interesting plants live on the property. Best of all is the lake - beautiful year round.

What makes this property unique

Given Jen's past in Seattle area and Brent being from Vancouver, BC originally, the home has served as a place for friends and family to congregate and share many a fun memorable time in this special place. We hope you'll enjoy the revamped living space, lake views, deck, yard and lakefront as a stage for your next romantic or social or family occasion as much as we enjoy the home and property.
