This was a wonderful place to spend our first siblings vacation. The setting is beautiful and you can see the lake from so many places in the home. The home was spotless, kitchen well-stocked and plenty of comfortable spaces for the family to catch up and remember our childhood. It is on my list of favorite VRBO places.

Amazing Lake House

This was our 5th year staying in this house so that should tell you how much we love it! It is in a great location for walking around the neighborhood or just sitting on the deck and enjoying the scenery. It is also very close to downtown Gig Harbor. The hosts are great and have always been very helpful with any questions we have had. You should definitely stay here on your next trip to Gig Harbor.

This Lakefront home is easily among the best we’ve ever had the privilege of leasing! The home is beautiful and the extra amenities were so helpful. Our host was helpful and gracious. As a local realtor who lives nearby, she really knows how to offer only the best! We highly recommend this listing and I promised to sing her praises widely!

Our family loves to travel in comfort so we wanted to offer that to others too. We owned an oceanfront vacation rental (Rago's Oceanfront Retreat) on Washington's Long Beach Peninsula for 12 years before purchasing this fun lakefront Gig Harbor home in 2017 and turning it into another relaxing home for guests to enjoy. Thank you for considering our beautiful home!
