Perfect Stay with family

We live in town and rented this home while our family was visiting. This waterfront home is absolutely beautiful and has plenty of space for everyone. We enjoyed the comfortable outdoor furniture and had a blast playing bocce ball and life size Jenga. Most importantly, this house has the best hot tub I have ever been in! Communication with the host was easy and when I left a few items behind they were gracious to arrange for me to get them. I hope to stay again and highly recommend for any locals that have family visiting.

Already booked again!

Have a newborn baby and have not left house much! Decided it was time to venture out -but not too far. Searched online for things under 1.5 hour drive from Seattle and came upon this gem. Whenever we check out from a place, always discuss would we come back - and this place had everyone saying YES! So much so, that we booked another stay here before we even left! The owners were responsive- booking was a breeze. Their instructions had clear directions, but we brazenly still tried to follow our car’s GPS- this landed us on wrong side of river! So make sure to follow the directions they send. The property is as beautiful as depicted on the listing. The house has a large well equipped kitchen, cozy furniture in living room with tv, and comfortable patio overlooking river with hot tub and grill! It was a quick drive to Roslyn, enjoyed the access, while still being in a peaceful quiet location by river. A great weekend getaway, spacious clean home, and serene setting.
