Great location for our needs. We were there on family business. The house was a welcome and restful retreat after a busy day. It’s special to have a lake house in the middle of suburbia! The lake view is very special and the deck enjoyable. Kathy, the hostess, is kind and helpful. The furniture is warn and not fancy but the house is pleasant and welcoming.

This was the perfect distance away from the city for us. The driveway was slightly hard to find when we arrived in the dark, and we had some trouble with the paddle boat (there may have been a hole?), but overall we had a great experience. Host communication was great and the process was very smooth. Close to a grocery store and the lake was beautiful. Would stay again.

This home was on a cute little lake and did have a good, central location. However, we did not find this property to be as advertised. It was in a bit of disrepair including a ceiling leak, ripped screen door, broken window, etc. The basic amenities such as paper products and towels were provided, but just be ready for things like no extra bedding, one pillow on each bed, no laundry detergent, no life jackets, etc. The dock felt a little unsafe and one of the peddle boats leaked while the other was missing a seat so we were not able to use them during our stay. This home was ok, but was not what I was expecting for the price we paid. The owner was easy to communicate and work with.

Kathy is an awesome host and her place on Steele Lake is perfect. 20 minutes from SEA and close to all kinds of shopping and resturants. The view of the lake from the deck was great with all kinds of ducks and geese we don't see at home in Florida. Would highly recommend and will stay again!

Kathy's home was a welcome retreat for us. Evenings on the deck watching the sunset on Steele Lake and being able to the paddle boat out on the lake was very enjoyable. The house was very, very convenient to all of the places we needed to be, and will definitely be back and recommend to our friends and family. Fruit trees and flowers all around the property enhanced the stay.

We stayed here for a baseball tournament in the area. The listing is accurate and for the price and being on a lake it is perfect. Communication was great and the house had all we needed for the week we were there. You are close to anything you’d need with a bit of tranquility from the lake.

Great little lake house. Quiet location we had fun with the paddle boat, kayaks, fire pit for s’more with a huge park, swimming area close by and friendly coots, ducks and geese came by to visit. The property had many fruit trees which provided sweet snacks. Owner was excellent with communication and very accommodating.
