About the host

Hosted by Kathy Waters

Host profile image
I am a 67 year old recently, and enthusiastically, retired accountant and tax preparer. I grew up in Spokane but spent my adult life in the Tacoma area where I raised my three kids and still live. I am a widow, but I have three great kids, three wonderful grandchildren, and I enjoy needlework, going to church, and being in the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

My parents co-purchased this property with 2 other couples in 1949, four years before I was born. Over the years, the other couples sold their shares to my parents and it just belonged to our family. What started off as a small rustic cabin when I was a little girl, evolved into a 2000 square foot house that me and my kids have been able to enjoy every summer of our lives. While it was a summer house for my family and I growing up, my mom, Billie, ended up moving into the house year-round about 35 years ago with her husband Rocky. My kids grew up knowing it as "grandma's cabin", which it was, until she passed away in 2014. Since then, we've rented it to family and continued our annual summer trips, which are now a yearly tradition for a fourth generation; my grandkids. We look forward to many more years of family trips to the cabin, and are so excited to share such an incredibly special place with our new guests!

What makes this property unique

It is more rare than it seems it would be to have exactly what we have: a large house right on the water with a private, natural, sandy beach and a private dock. So many lake houses are a flight of stairs or two away from the water, or there is no beach, or the beach is rocky and uncomfortable. We also have a huge amount of entertainment available for your enjoyment; water toys, kayaks, yard toys, board games, fishing gear, smart tv, etc.
