A friend and I gave our sons a break from the city and on-line games, and they delighted in the lake and swimming. Being able to use the kayaks was a great opportunity. This property is meticulously maintained, and very thoughtful.
The pictures of Kate's place don't do it justice. Everything was immaculate, new/proper working order, every necessity and detail you could think of was provided for which made for one of our most extremely comfortable stays at a VRBO. Even tennis balls and dog bowls for our 4-legged family member. We loved the friendly, small-town feel of the neighborhood. Going for walks, fishing, bbq'ing on the deck, reading a good book, and playing board games together were the only things on our agenda and we loved every minute of it. Many adventures were had and the kids now have many fond memories to come home with. We hope to return soon! Thanks, Horn family! -Ko & Rhoda
It was our second time to stay here and we really love it. We appreciate that Kate and family have thought about every little thing in the house. We were able to take advantage of the kayaks this time and explore the lake. The place is very quiant and peaceful. If you want a home away from home, this is it.
The Christmas weekend at Lake Lost was an unforgettable experience. The home was decorated for Christmas. When we arrived, Friday, the landscape was green and beautiful. Saturday, December 25, we woke up with snow, and the landscape was white. Our days at the Cottage were full of enjoying the view wherever we were, living room, dining room, and bedroom. There is a good space around the Cottage where we could enjoy the snow and take a lot of pictures. The Cottage is very well equipped, with all that we need for the weekend. We cooked, we prepared a beautiful Christmas Eve table, with the fireplace on. Saturday, even with the snow, when it stopped for an hour we made an amazing barbecue on the balcony, that barbecue was epic! The shower and beds were also very good, we slept very well. Sunday, we needed leave, with a lot of snow (and Kate helped us get on the road safely) with the memory of a great weekend and thinking when we can go back to the Cozy Lake Cottage.
The house is exactly as seen in the pictures. The decor is beautiful and has everything we needed. The welcome treats were a nice thing to come into. The host is great with communication when needed. The views of the lake was everything my soul needed to get away and decompress. My husband and I plan on coming back next year a bit earlier in the year to enjoy all of the amenities the boat house has to offer.
This is a lovely location overlooking the lake. The home is very well maintained and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The owner was fantastic!
This place was so perfect for our family vacation. It was clean and welcoming. The lake was so beautiful and my family appreciated the use of the Kyaks. We never had to leave because the house had everything we needed for the long weekend. Kate was easy to get ahold of and she was very accommodating. Thank you Kate for opening up your home to us.
Had a fantastic weekend getaway! The house is awesome- comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and lovely extra touches! Enjoyed spending time on the deck and taking in the lake views. Top notch vacation rental!
We stayed in this lovely Lakehouse for three nights. Very relaxing. Comfortable beds. Everything you need. Enjoyed the kayaks another lake toys. We would return here in a heartbeat!
What a lovely property. We truly enjoyed our mini vaca in this quiet setting. The owner was so hospitable and had everything we could ever need on site.
We highly recommend. Thank you!
This is definitely a property we will visit again!
The lake view was beautiful, very peaceful and cozy place to stay. We were very impressed with the set up and layout of the home. This was probably one of the most clearly thought out locations I’ve stayed. From fishing poles & floaties, to dishes, serving ware, pots and pans, all the way down to the smallest detail, such as outlet plug ins in the bedrooms with multiple plug ins and USB outlets for phones. It encompassed all the modern conveniences. I was also in touch with the property owner a couple of times, regarding check in and other small details. She was fast to respond and very kind, helpful and welcoming. Our friends came to visit for dinner and loved the cabin as well. They are now talking about booking a stay. This is definitely a place you don’t want to miss!!

We enjoyed our stay here. It was great waking up and seeing the lake.
Would definitely come back here next time we race at the Ridge.
We enjoyed our stay here and the relaxing environment of this cottage. It was a very comfortable place to stay with all of the details being taken care of for us. We will be back again!
We loved this cozy, special place on Lost Lake. We came with our three kids and had a great time. Waking up with that gorgeous lake view every morning was priceless! The house is clean and every detail has been thought of. All of the special touches were noted. We would definitely recommend this place and will would love to return!
My family and I absolutely LOVED our time at Kate’s cottage. It was very clean and comfortable for the 6 of us plus my 2 dogs.
I was impressed with all the small details that made our stay so much better! We loved the outdoor space also! Had a blast using both fire pits and kayaks. Lost Lake is a peaceful place to escape to! Thank you Kate!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was as advertised, with creature comforts (wifi, new washer/dryer, 2 new Smart TVs) that make it easy to stay "plugged in" or choose to unplug. The owner was accessible whenever we called, and the lake is a hidden gem.
Never been to that area before but I can see why people live or have 2nd homes on that lake. Home is compact but once you add your ability to go sit out on the 2 levels prior to dock, you have all the space you could need! Place was immaculate, communication flawless. Will be back!
This place was perfect . Comfy King size bed with nice sheets, beautiful views and great Kitchen. I would absolutely stay here again and I highly recommend it.
This house was fantastic, we rented Kate's home to celebrate my fiancée's 40th birthday with our dog. The home was incredibly clean and well stocked with plenty of kitchen items for cooking up a good meal and baking a cake (brought my own cake pans). The views of the lake are amazing from all of the deck spaces and the bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable!
Kate was very helpful and communicative and provided all the info and photos we would possibly need, she even offered to let us shift our dates due to the snow if we needed to!
I would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a good lake getaway, I'm sure it would be fantastic in the summer, only thing to note is that there are lots of steps. But thats what makes for the great views!
House was 5 star everything- they left an amazing arrival package of goodies. Such nice sheets, appliances, tv channels , huge bath. Would love to come in summer but saw sun and rain and snow. Was gorgeous and nice to come back to every day from work.
Only FYI is lots of stairs to lake and in house, not for the weak knees! and lots of loose dogs on walks.
Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation here. Our weather was rain, wind and some snow one night. We had a few breaks in the weather and we took a daily walk with our 2 pups. There were many friendly 4 legged friends we got to meet. One would join us every day for the walk, we eventually found out her name js Remington. The house is well designed for comfort and the hosts have done a great job in the little details that make things cozy. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked for ourselves all week. We would love to come back in the Summer as well to be able to get on the lake and enjoy some outdoor fire time.

Our family purchased this lakefront cottage as the perfect weekend get away. We enjoy everything about lake life during the summer and quiet cozy weekends in winter. There is lots to explore by car and on foot in the surrounding area between downtown Shelton, the Hood Canal, and Olympia. We hope you love it as much as we do. Welcome to lake life!
