We enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. We appreciated the extra touches…magazines about the area, pamphlets, and maps, coffee, coffee filters, paper towels, zip lock bags, pancake mix, popcorn, shampoo, and lotions.
The master had a queen bed. It was a bit uncomfortable, as we are use to sleeping in a king. The bedding was very nice. The main bath was just off master. The 2nd bedroom had 2 twin beds & its own bathroom. There wasn’t a closet, so hooks would have been nice to hang clothes. The 3rd bedroom was an open loft, up a spiral staircase, and also had twin beds.
The kitchen was well appointed. We enjoyed grilling & sitting outside at night in the fenced backyard. It’s a quiet neighborhood & it really is the “garden district.” Many of the homes in the neighborhood have beautiful gardens. There is a park about 3 blocks away. The home was within walking distance to Safeway grocery store, a few restaurants, & only a 15 minute walk, & you are on Sherman street, which is the main street downtown. The Marina and lake are a few blocks away. Beautiful!
Best places to eat:
* Dockside and Beverly’s, which were right at the Marina.
* Cedars Floating restaurant, which is a short drive from the Marina. Sit on the patio and enjoy the amazing food!
* Crafted Taphouse and Kitchen is a must for lunch! Delicious food and fun atmosphere, sitting on their patio around large gas fireplaces.
* Fire, is right next to Crafted. We didn’t eat there, but many highly recommended it! * Tito’s Italian restaurant is right downtown and we sat on the sidewalk cafe and had a good food.
* Anthony’s and Tony’s were restaurants that were recommended. * Trinity At The Beach, at Sand Point, is right on the water, in a small Marina. Friendly service and good food.
* DISH, at Dover Bay, in Sand Point, had a beautiful patio and delicious food! Wonderful service!
Be sure to walk around the large floating Marina. We took a narrated 90 cruise on the lake. We highly recommend doing that. Right near the Marina is Tubb’s Hill. It’s an moderate 2.5 mile hike around the hill. Mineral Ridge National Trail: Excellent 2.5 mile hike! The trail is very well marked. It is a loop from the base to the summit and back down. At the summit, there is a covered area with a picnic table. Views on the top are stunning. . Centennial Trail was a great trail for walking and biking.
