We would give this property 10 stars if we could! The lake views are stunning from all three beautifully decorated floors. We loved spending evenings on the deck watching sunsets, using the BBQ, and relaxing in the jacuzzi. The kitchen was well stocked with high-end appliances and essentials, and the games and ping pong table were a fun bonus.The owner was always incredibly responsive and went above and beyond when our daughter’s beloved stuffed hippo was accidentally left behind - thanks to their help, he was quickly found. We are so grateful and highly recommend this property. We will absolutely return sometime in the future!
We loved our stay! The house was beautiful, clean, so well stocked and spacious enough for our family. Communication with the host was prompt and always helpful. Highly recommend this property!
Very well equipped house.Lovely views of the lakeClean and spaciousDriveway hill a bit tricky to navigate. Location needed was idealNot a lot of nearby markets for food shopping but manageableState park, lake Squamish, and Cougar Mt zoo were lovely.
Absolutely recommend this location. It's a beautiful, well-equipped home that would be great either as a hub to head out from or a place for folks to hang out and connect.
We did a family reunion of sorts and had a wonderful time staying here. The home was the perfect size for three couples and a teenager. The location was extremely convenient to touring Bellevue and Seattle. You can't beat the views from just about every window in this home. It was truly breathtaking. The owners are fabulous to work with and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience.
Absolutely stunning home with creative architecture. Our family had everything we needed to be comfortable and not have to go anywhere unless we wanted to. So many nice touches at this property. Smores ready to go and cook on deck overlooking the lake. Games for everyone to have fun. Master bed looks up at window in ceiling to night sky to watch stars, remote control to close for sleeping in :) Close to lake for fun jet skiing. Cute little zoo just a few minutes away at Cougar mountain. Hope to come again soon.

Originally from the midwest, I've lived on the East side of Seattle for 13 years now. I adore the pacific northwest and try to spend as much time as I can in the outdoors, exploring the region's mountains, forests, and lakes. I love helping my guests create lifelong memories at our home. I have tried to anticipate everything you might need to make your stay perfect and truly relax in this hectic world. I am always available for anything you might need during your stay or to field any questions you have about the home or the Seattle region.
