We had a wonderful stay at this home! The house was beautifully accommodated with everything we needed, from a well-appointed kitchen to comfortable beds. The views were stunning, and we especially enjoyed the pool, the private dock for our boat, and the paddleboard/kayaks provided. The kids loved the game room and activities, which made it extra fun for the whole family. Most of all, the hosts were incredibly gracious and responsive, making the experience seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Wow wow wow, the location, the home, the pool, the amenities… it was exactly what we didn’t know we needed! The kayaks and stand up paddle boards, the dock, the life jackets and floaties… it made water safety convenient for us parents and made it SO fun for the kids. The HUGE kitchen was awesome for our communal eating and cooking; the kids room with all the toys and great sleeping arrangement made it special and fun for the kids and easy on the parents!! We would love to come and stay again. We would definitely recommend!

I think the fact we have stayed at this property with 3 generations of our family every summer for 5 years running speaks for how much we enjoy all aspects of this property and beautiful Lake Entiat.

Thank you Mark. Your family is a tribute to why we built this Estate. To gather with those we love and make memories that will last a lifetime. Your family is always welcome here.
We had a fantastic time at the Lake Entiat Waterfront rental! The home was perfect for our group of family and friends — there was truly something for everyone to enjoy. From the private pool and hot tub to the boat launch and dock, every moment was packed with fun and relaxation.The house itself was one of the best-stocked vacation rentals we've ever stayed in — everything we needed (and more) was right at our fingertips. Whether we were cooking big meals, lounging by the pool, or heading out on the water, it was effortless and comfortable.Darby, the host, was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, helpful, and on top of everything from start to finish. Her hospitality really made a great experience even better.

Perfect week long rental, everything has been thought through. Excellent set up for families, once you check in there is plenty to do and no reason to leave. Very relaxing property - close enough to Wenatchee for groceries or dinner out.

Thank you! We are so glad that you and your family had a great time! We will hope you will come back again for some more memory making moments!
We have stayed at Sunken Acres many times, and we have never been disappointed. So many fun things to enjoy for the whole family ages 3 to 71....from the pool, kayaks, paddle boat, large playfield, sandbox and playset, along with the addition of a trampoline this year. Can't wait to schedule our next vacation with you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunken Acres! The house exceeded our expectations, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the entire house was clean and welcoming. We couldn’t have picked a better place to have Thanksgiving. Thank you, Darby, for making it an easy process for us! Memories made here!

Hooray for wonderful memories! Hope you will come stay with us again. Happy holidays!
This is our group’s 3rd time staying at Darby’s beautiful home over the last 5 years or so. We keep coming back because the home is always clean, well-equipped with water toys, games, and kiddo supplies, and being close to other attractions makes it a real perk now that our kids are getting older. Darby’s communication is always prompt and effective. Thanks Darby for welcoming your home to our crew!

What an amazing experience we had staying at Sunken Acres. From booking forward Darby was communicative, warm and easy to work with. The property has everything you need and then some. As a family that has stayed at many VRBO’s, this is at the tip top of our list. We hope to be back again and again. Thank you Sunken Acres for the fabulous memories!!

Thanks Keegan - we hope to see you guys again soon!
Working with the property owner was a dream - prompt and clear communication, very helpful. The property was perfect for our large family gathering, the most well equipped kitchen of any vrbo we've ever stayed in, and the water toy selection was phenomenal - we were there 5 days and frankly ran out of time before we ran out of toys. We have stayed in lots of entiat and chelan properties, and this property was by far the best.

Hello Jennifer. Thank you for the glowing review. We love that your family had a great and memorable time. Please come back again for a second chance to make use of all those water toys! We'd love to have you.
We were an extended family of 15 ranging in age from 2 years old to 77 and there was something for everyone. The pool, the lake and water toys, as well as the indoor toys for the little ones, were well used and appreciated. The house and grounds were immaculate and well stocked and well maintained. The host (Darby) was responsive although we had no issues thanks to clear printed instructions.

This was a great family vacation home!
From the very beginning Darby was fantastic to work with. The whole process of checking in and out was also seamless.
We spent a ton of time on the Lake with our sons new boat and enjoyed a lot of relaxing time in the pool. This home has it all!
Great water toys were included in the rental and the convenience of the large level yard and dock was a huge plus for all!
Definitely a nice sized home for large family gatherings!

Thank you Laura. We absolutely love that you were able to make some memories with your family here! Come back and stay with us again - we'd love to have you.
God provided gorgeous weather the entire week. The pool and river were the highlight. We had a few family members who never left the pool side, and most of the younger ones (under 55) never left the dock and our ski boat. Our youngest son ran 5 tanks of gas skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing them in his boat. Lake Entiat at this spot was very private, which was wonderful.

About the host
Hosted by Darby
We are Washington State natives and owner's of a residential construction company. We have three young children and a desire to raise our children with an appreciation for family, community and faith in God. We built this home purely so we could could enjoy time with our family, friends and invite others into community with us.
This property has been a blessing to us. We are thrilled to be able to make it available to others so that they might have the opportunity to connect with family and friends in the same way we have.
Why they chose this property
This property is suitably named "Sunken Acres" because it is actually 12 acres, however, today only 2 1/2 acres remain above the water. Lake Entiat (also called Rocky Reach Reservoir) was formed following the building of the Rocky Reach Dam in 1962.
We were in search of the perfect property - not only for our family, but a place where our friends and community could all come together to connect and build memories.
We fell in love with property first and foremost because of its breathtaking waterfront location on a private little cove and the proximity to Seattle. Only 2 1/2 hours drive, it is easy to make the trip for a weekend getaway. The location boasts the amazing seasons of Eastern Wa with lots of snow in the winter and plenty of sun in the summer. We love that we can play there all year around!
The original property had a rambler that had been completely gutted and was condemned. We decided to start over and design & build an amazing home that captured the views and was specifically designed for hosting large groups.
What makes this property unique
- Your very own private boat launch and dock. No need to make a special trip to a state park to launch. - All water toy use is included in your rental: Tandem kayaks, youth kayaks, adult SUPs, youth SUPs, paddle boat and canoe. - Centrally location between Lake Chelan, Wenatchee and Leavenworth makes the estate a perfect location for taking in all of the Eastern Wa sights and activities. But we warn you, you may not want to leave the estate once you get there!
