About this property

Mountain Modern Guest Home-3 acre Lawns, Pond and Gardens

Tranquil resort style property 40m from downtown Seattle on a private country lane is an ideal setting for your couples getaway or bring-the-family vacation.

The Stillwater Farm experience features 2 King master suites w luxury mattresses, linens and towels, along with a charming 2-person bunk room in a spacious open-plan home with a massive brick hearth fireplace (convenient propane) and a gathering room style cook's kitchen.

Enjoy the patio, fountain, flower gardens, rolling lawns and views of Stillwater Pond with private outdoor dining and relaxed seating around the fire-pit; or stroll down tree-lined Cherry Lane to the breathtaking Mt. Rainier viewing bench. Our natural pond attracts ducks, geese and herons visiting our resident bullfrog. Bunnies live on property and we have visits from bald eagles, a rare glimpse of river otter, and the occasional deer or coyote.

Dine in Covington, Maple Valley, Kent Station or Southport-Renton Landing restaurants or catch some shopping, the movie theatre or enjoy golf and Lake Washington's Gene Coulon beachfront park in 10m-15m. 20m to airport. Drive 15m across the valley to I-5, Des Moines Puget Sound waterfront, or all the sports and attractions of Seattle, Tacoma, or I-405N to Bellevue-Kirkland.

7 miles of Soos Creek paved walking and biking trail are 5 minutes down the road. Snoqualmie Falls, Mt. Si, North Bend and Cascade hiking and biking trails are about 20 minutes via Hwy 18 eastbound: or visit Mt. Rainier National Park in about 90 minutes. Enjoy the variety of our prime location near our world class city from a beautiful relaxed NW style estate. Enjoy the best of both worlds near attractions and services, yet close to the mountains, rivers and trails.

Stay at the farmhouse

We had a great time at the farmhouse. The property was exactly as represented, was very comfortable, and had a beautiful back yard. We attended a wedding at nearby Shadow Lake, so it was the perfect location.

Beautiful, comfortable, serene.

This property is wonderful, we were there for a family reunion, stayed with our sons family of four. Plenty of room for everyone, the grandkids loved seeing the bunnies and running around in the big yard. Everything we needed was there, the owners put in a lot of effort to make this place great. We would definitely stay here again.

Quiet stay

We took a family trip to the Seattle area this summer. We wanted to stay outside of the city. This was a great fit for us! It was nice and quiet, clean, and spacious for the five of us. We enjoyed our time here and the beautiful flowers surrounding the house! It was nice to come back to after being amongst the crowds in town! Thank you for a lovely stay!

A wonderful Country Retreat!

This large 3 bedroom property is a wonderful place! It has very scenic surroundings including a duck pond and a walking trail. There is a gas fireplace that was terrific for chilly evenings and a large living room, too. Alexa, the property manager, could not have been more responsive, too. We will definitely stay here again! 5 BIG STARS!!

Great place to stay!

Highly recommend this home. Quiet, peaceful location that is located within 10-15 minutes of many shopping and eating places. Costco is close by. Loved the pond in the back yard that was visited by ducks every morning. Great view of Mt Rainier up the road. Comfortable beds. So much better than a hotel. The owners are located in a home next door and were wonderful to work with.
