Thanksgiving Getaway
This was a great location! We enjoyed the charm of the older house. We had everything we needed to celebrate Thanksgiving together. And we loved having the hot tub to relax in.

Wasn't worth it, in my opinion
The home is old and it shows in many areas. Hard to see where upgrades have occurred as noted in the listing. I provided feedback on several items to owner of items that were not working properly. Renters need to request the property owner to adjust heat. No A/C. No curtains on windows except in master bedroom. Renters should also know that home is directly under flight path to SEA which is 10 minutes away.

Winter Freeze Get away
A wonderfully big home perfect for our multigenerational family. We arrived the day before the winter freeze of Dec 2022. James was very thoughtful about raising the temp in the house so we were comfortable. Excellent communication with James all along. The house was even decorating for Christmas with a lighted tree and ornaments and wreath. Very welcoming. Would stay again.

Fabulous house!
Airplane noise was the only negative for some of our group because the house is located under the landing corridor if SEA is landing to the North and under the departure corridor if SEA is departing to the South.
