Wonderful cedar log home on Lake Shoecraft (next to Lake Goodwin) near Smokey point in Stanwood, WA. 3 bedrooms, 1 bath with full kitchen, wood burning stove, deck, dock, 100+ no bank beach. The home features lots of parking, beautiful views, great swimming, water skiing, water sports, and fishing. The lake is stocked every year with trout and features excellent fishing. Included in the rental is a 11 foot Columbia fiberglass boat (similar to a Boston Whaler), three kayaks, one SUP, and lots of water toys and inflatables as well as croquet and other lawn toys. I have a couple of fishing poles and some gear also but if you are a serious fly fisher you will want to bring your own (the lake is stocked with trout every spring). Two of the bedrooms have queen or king beds and the third has two sets of bunk beds. Country store is just down the road for anything you didn't bring (and has the best fishing gear) as well as an excellent restaurant, the Paddle Pub. Also short distance to Tulalip Casino and the Seattle Premium Outlet Mall in Marysville. Free high speed WIFI.

we love this place. lots of water toys and a boat to fish in and just cruise the lake. the house is well supplied with everything you need and then some. this is the second year we have stayed here and hope to get it next year too.the location is just about 20 miles from our homes, which makes it easy to just come up for the day....
Beautiful and peaceful setting on Lake Ki. The house was cozy with a great cabin vibe,and the back porch was great for eating outside! Our father/grandfather really enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren paddling about on the lake in the canoes/kayaks provided. The host, Mark was always good at communicating.Thank you so much!
Nice place. Write up matches reality in all areas. Cozy, clean relaxing. Only caution is that ALL rugs need to be secured down. Easy clean up rules. Great stay thanks.
This was the perfect place for two small families and a dog to get away from the city for the weekend. Lots of space, lovely hot tub and deck overlooking the lake, vintage cabin vibes, quiet surroundings, and everything we needed to cook a few meals and relax. Close enough to see the tulips for an afternoon, but we easily could have stayed at the house all weekend and had a lovely time. We would definitely return!
We didn't utilize the best feature, the lake, since it was cold and rainy during our stay, but we enjoyed the hot tub and hung out on the deck and in the living room. Bedrooms are fine for sleeping, nothing fancy. Kitchen was well-stocked, having everything we needed in terms of gadgets.
This is a great wholesome place to spend a weekend or more! We had an amazing time and were lucky enough to be able to use the boating and water sports equipment. I’ll definitely be looking at booking this cabin again!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The host is great at communication and very responsive. The host and the property location are a 5/5.Unfortunately, the bathroom is very small. There is no surface to place anything on and the shower was very slippery. We smacked our heads on the cabinet over the toilet a few times. The house has the potential to be great. It needs to be leveled, painted, the deck needs to be sanded and painted, the picnic table does as well. It was really rough. There are no gates on the deck for animals and children. The landscaping needs to be addressed. Lots of weeding and care of the bushes around the home is needed.Again, the host and location are great. This may be fantastic for some families, it just did not work for us. You will receive great instructions on checking in and the host is very quick to respond. The lake and lake accessories are great!
Well equipped older home on a beautiful property on Shoecraft lake. It had everything a group of guys needed to relax and unwind. Communication was good, we were very pleased with our stay.
Our family had a great time paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and swimming. I think we took advantage of every amenity!! Lovely setting and mostly quiet end of lake. We’d definitely rent it again!
They house was so kitchy-fun, and the view was unbeatable. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and the beds were quite comfortable!
We hope to make this an annual tradition and stay again closer to summer so we can take advantage of the many toys/boats that come with the place.
This place is lovely. We had a fairly short stay on rainy days, but the place was comfortable, clean & cozy. We were able to see a bald eagle up close which was really cool! We would love to come back in the summer when the weather is nice. The lake looked clean & like it would be great fun in nice weather.
Great place to relax and get in some water activity. Our family had a great time here. Has a dock for your boat/jet ski and you have access to paddle boards and kayaks furnished with the rental. Plenty of space/parking.
The place was great, we spent hours in the sun on the awesome deck, fished from the dock and soaked in the tub! Amazing wldlife, eagles galore, geese and lots of baby goslings, even saw a deer! We really enjoyed our stay.
Being on this peaceful lake was such a great break from the usual hustle & bustle! The adults loved the peace, the kids loved the water!

This house was so nice and clean. It was older than I expected inside. But, for being so aged, it was very clean. No dust or cobwebs. Not urine stains or pet fur. It was very clean, which made me so happy. Thank you so much for the beautiful use of your home!!!

Why they chose this property
This property features many things to do without leaving, but if you need too everything you could possibly want is close at hand. The house was built in 1955, it is a Padabone log home (similar to Lindal Cedar Homes), it has lots of original charm and Mid Century feel. It is close enough to Seattle but far enough away to be removed from the stress and noise. The lake warms up fast in the summer and the swimming is fantastic. The lake is stocked with trout each year so the fishing is great. Have an incredible shopping experience at the Seattle Premium Outlet mall that has over 120 well-known outlet stores. Eat dine out and enjoy a night of fun at Tulalip Resort Casino. Both are a short 15 minute drive from our lake house. Near Warm Beach in Stanwood, WA. Take a day trip to Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Only 2 hours away. Enjoy the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in April.
What makes this property unique
An 11 foot boat, 6 person spa,, 2 kayaks, 3 SUP, and inflatable water toys are all standard. No bank waterfront makes it ideal for kids and pets of all ages. The water is warm enough to swim early in the season due to the relatively shallow depth. Much more quiet and private than it's sister Lake Goodwin. Large deck with a new hot tub and large dock to fish from. The lake is stocked with trout every year.
