Joie De Vivre
Joie de Vivre (or "Joy of Living") is a French phrase often used in English to express a cheerful enjoyment of life; an exultation of spirit. That's the way we feel about the Lookout at Lake Chelan and about our home.
Joie de Vivre, completed in 2016, is a spacious three story, 3,095 sq. a . home with four bedrooms and four full baths with two lakeside decks and patio.
The inverted floor plan has the master and living room/dining/kitchen on the second floor to enjoy the expansive views while cooking, watching TV, or just relaxing by the gas fireplace. There are several stately poplar trees that filter the view during the summer months, none the less, I think you will all agree that the views are still incredible, and it is relaxing on a breezy day to watch the trees sway in unison with the wind.
The dining room table has seating for 10 with six chairs and a full-length bench. The table and bench were custom made in Portland and use repurposed wood that came from the Oregon State Hospital in Salem (think where they filmed "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"). There are four bar chairs along the island bar to provide additional seating.
While keeping the idea of the guests' comfort and enjoyment in mind, we also made changes to the first floor eliminating one of the bedrooms and creating a larger media room. This area has electronics (65" HDTV, X-Box One, and DVD library), an 8 ft. slate pool table, an assortment of games and puzzles, and two sets of sliding doors leading out to a lovely patio and a small courtyard with expansive lake views. The first floor also has a bunk room for the kids that sleep five.
We thank you for choosing Joie de Vivre. Enjoy life and have fun.
Dogs are allowed at Joie de Vivre. Maximum of 2 dogs, 70 pounds or less, crate sleeper, potty trained. NO Puppies

The house was great for the entire family. Plenty of space and very well appointed and stocked. The neighborhood has many activities and The Lookout property managers have everything running very smoothly. We really enjoyed everything.
What a delight to discover this place. Clean, quality, amenities, views, location...perfect! We will most certainly return.

Great location - walking distance to Vin de Luc, and a short drive to downtown!
We stayed during Winterfest, and loved the spaciousness of this house for 8 people. Also, the hot tub and S'mores station were right across the street! :) We will keep this house in mind for future trips!

Excellent, however the TV was a disappointment. No instructions on how to access net flix, or other entertainment channels. If net flix was not available to us, then that is a disappointment. Kitchen cooking equipment, great.
Cut those damn trees down, what a terrible waste.

We loved the house. It was equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect. We did have a fire alarm go off in the middle of the night. Just so you can get it fixed. It was the room upstairs on the north side. We also had some trouble keeping the refrigerator door on the right closing.Other than that the house was in perfect condition.

Reviewer Comments:
My family has visited the Lookout for years as we love Chelan. Overall, we loved this house - very comfortable and useful living room sectional; patio and porchs/balconies were great; very dog friendly and dog safe (even though these dog owners left their dogs at home). Improvement suggestions: (1) repair sink fixtures in upstairs bathroom with the queen bed; (2) repair front gate latch which doesn't work; (3) add more hooks in bathrooms to hang clothes; (4) repair ice maker which drops ice into unsanitary bottom of fridge instead of in the ice tray. The house was supposed to be ready at 4pm, but we didn't get access to the house until 5:30 while cleaning was finished from the previous tenants. We were going to rebook a house for next summer but your prices have gone up so much that we will probably look for other alternatives, sadly. Your 2022 prices were already increased considerably from your 2021 prices.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Aug, 2022
Good afternoon, Elizabeth,
Thank you for your honest feedback. We will take in considerations all the suggestions that you made, and we will make sure the sink fixture and gate are repaired. Every year we do increase the prices and due to each home being individually owned they will also have a certain rate. We do hope we see you come again. - The Lookout

Gathered with adult sons and their families at Joie De Vivre in Chelan for 6 glorious days. Layout of the house mostly worked - would be better once the grandkids are older and blocking stairs no longer needed. House location near beach and upper pool was great. Amenities - beach, pools and open play spaces were great. There was no need to venture off the property. Management communication of daily activities was very helpful and all the staff were well trained and very friendly.

Joi De Vivre was just the right size for our two families and one corgi! The location was convenient to the wedding venue, Chelan, and local walking trails. We utilized the Lookout hot tub and pickleball courts. There were bicycles available in the garage but no helmets, therefore the guest mostly likely to ride wouldn't because of a previous bike accident.

The house was beautiful and wonderfully located. HOWEVER, the pictures on the website are VERY old and outdated. We were expecting to see the lake (why we chose the house we did) and instead found no lake view due to the trees that had grown up tall, blocking the lake view. False advertising is VERY disappointing. Also, the fridge doors need some work, they kept popping open. With that said, we did enjoy our time there, the house had a great layout for our group and it was clean and tidy. I would recommend this location to others but I also recommend that the pictures be updated!
