great location with plenty of room for 5 women. We loved the well-stocked kitchen and amazing views. Good location between Seattle and Snoqualamie as we wanted to visit both areas. beds were super comfortable. highly recommend!
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!

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.
