About this property

Lakefront Studio Cabin & Tiki Hut. Enjoy Summer Fun and Winter Serenity!

Welcome to Lake Daze at Tapps! Wake up to amazing lake views directly from the comfy King bed in this tropical beach vibes tiny home/cabin. Enjoy the lake just steps away from the cabin, roast s’mores in the fire pit, and relax on the dock with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine.

The cabin is perfect for a fun getaway or romantic staycation, with an homage to our favorite place, Hawai'i!


- Covered Tiki-themed outdoor patio provides shade and rain protection
- Kayaks, Stand Up Paddleboard, and Water Toys available for guests use. (Seasonal availability)
- Small Kitchenette with microwave and large mini fridge.
- Dedicated fast internet and writing desk for a unique work retreat.
- Outdoor fire pits: traditional wood pit and a propane fire bowl in the Tiki Hut


Max occupancy is two adults. This is a cozy 275 square foot studio/tiny home with one King bed.

Note: The cabin is right on the lake, so be prepared to be entertained on sunny summer days with multiple boats, jet skiers, kayakers, and the occasional float plane going by. There will be boat noise, music being played, and delighted screams from the inner-tubers as they are towed behind the boats. In winter, the lake level goes down a bit but there is always water in front of the cabin. It is very peaceful and quiet in the winter months - great for watching the waterfowl and relaxing in the cozy cabin.

Such an adorable place to spend a few days. The unit itself was clean, cozy, comfortable and well equipped. The decor, tiki hut and palm trees outside the unit truly gave that tropical feel of Hawaii. We enjoyed the view of the lake and woke up to more than two dozen swans swimming across. Even though we were there in the winter, and it was raining, we thoroughly enjoyed this sweet spot and hope to return again. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming.

This is a great property. The room is exceptionally clean, comfortable (especially the bed) and well equipped. It is directly on Lake Tapps so provides lovely view. The host is very helpful and friendly. Everything about this place is guest oriented. There are many tips and suggestions with guest needs in mind. We would definitely stay here again! We especially loved the Hawaiian touches, the electric fireplace and kitchenette. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Such a cozy Hawaiian themed lake cabin with a gorgeous view! My husband and I had a very relaxing stay. Sunsets were amazing by the tiki hut. Beautiful place for photos. The cabin had everything you could think of. Every little detail was carefully considered. I really enjoyed drinking Hawaiian coffee while reading a few pages of books that were in the cabin. My husband forgot his toothbrush and the cabin had extra. Suzy put so much effort into the decor, you could tell. We enjoyed meeting Suzy and Jason! We definitely want to come back! Thank you!

Perfect getaway

This was honestly the best experience we have had with VRBO! Check in was easy, the property was pristine. They had a great welcome basket with snacks and the bed was sooooo comfy. We will stay again if we are ever in the area. Can’t beat waking up to the lake at your feet. We also loved they had shampoo and conditioner.

A little Hawaii in Washington

My husband and I stayed at this property for our 25th anniversary. It was a beautiful stay. The detail and level of care of the property both inside and out are top notch. The Hawaiian theme is cheerful and welcoming. The place is cute, cozy, and full of charm. The lake views are terrific and amenities like the kayaks and the fire pit made for a fabulous time.

How time flys!

Peaceful & cozy! Wished we could have stayed longer! Waking up to the lake view at your feet was amazing. Loved hearing/seeing the waterfowl fly over or land in the lake. The white swans that seemed to be resident were an added bonus. Appreciated the little things the owners did to make to make sure we had treats/snacks as we arrived late and hungry.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Prenovost

Host profile image
Aloha! We are both Higher Education professionals and met at university in Honolulu. We are excited to show our guests the Aloha spirit and share our cabin on Lake Tapps. We have three boys, two are in college and one is just starting high school. We love our community and spend a lot of time on the lake, at the soccer fields, golfing and the occasional hike! Jason also loves his early morning waterski sessions on the weekends. We live on site and we love to meet our guests, but you will also have your personal space when you visit. We are available via VRBO app, phone, text, or just a knock on the door if you have any questions or needs.

Why they chose this property

We are happy to share our cozy and casual studio cabin. Take in the lake views, relax, and make some fun memories! Lake Tapps is a beautiful neighborhood located in Pierce County, Washington, approximately 30 miles south of Seattle. It is named after the man-made reservoir Lake Tapps, which is surrounded by beautiful parks and is a popular spot for water sports and recreational activities. One of the most enjoyable aspects of the Lake Tapps neighborhood is the abundance of outdoor activities that are available. In addition to water sports, there are plenty of hiking trails and parks to explore, close to Mt. Rainier and Crystal Mountain Ski Resort. The quaint towns of Enumclaw and Sumner are within a 20 minute drive and provide small town main street shopping, antique shops, restaurants and festivals. Close to wedding venues such as Kelly Farm, The Barn at Wilson Farm, Laurel Creek Manor, and Grandview Estate Weddings.

What makes this property unique

Private, Amazing Views, Tropical/Hawaii vibes. Tiki styled covered outdoor patio area is perfect to hang out and be protected from the rain and provides shade in the summer. Small cozy space, but huge lake views!
