Perfect lake vacation!

The house is beautiful, the views are gorgeous (there is a balcony on every level, so stepping outside to watch the osprey and bald eagles fish was easy), the lake is clear and excellent for swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking (provided!) and the hosts are some of the best I’ve had over years of using rental vacation homes (excellent communication, impeccably clean, well appointed kitchen, clear instructions and info about the property…there were even S’mores makings set up for us, which everyone loved)! We had some illness in our group during the trip so we didn’t do as much exploring of the peninsula as we’d planned, but it didn’t matter because the house and how it is situated on the lake was so delightful. We hope to stay again!

From beginning to end, top to bottom this beautiful home is more than we expected. From excellent communication from the host, to the home having everything you need and more!!

Thankful at Thanksgiving

We were in Olympia for the long Thanksgiving weekend at my daughter's home and there was enough family in-town we needed accommodations for folks that couldn't fit at her place. We found this lovely, lakefront place that was only 20 mins from my daugher's home so we grabbed it. It was nice enough that I decided to stay here with my wife, sister, and b-i-l so the kids could all stay together at my daughter's home. What a nice place - beautifully appointed, immaculate, quiet, stunning views of Summit Lake, and even some welcome snacks and drinks waiting for us. It was quite cold and rainy for most of the time we were in Olympia so there was no chance to get on the kayaks that come with the house but I did get to do a little fishing with my 4-yr old grandson and it was the highlight of his trip even though we didn't catch anything. Owner Melissa was on top of everything throughout the process so it couldn't be easier. This would be an ideal place for 2 couples with 4-5 kids to come spend a week or two in the summer.

Amazing lakefront home

The home itself is beautiful and well equipped for everything we could possibly need. We enjoyed the dock, kayaking, fishing, sitting by the fire both inside and outside. Mornings on the deck with coffee were absolute serenity. If we could give more than 5 we would -

Wonderful Vacation Home

We had a great weekend at the Chase’s home. Communication with the owner, Melissa, was exceptional. There was plenty of room for our group of six (2 adults and 4 teens). The house had every amenity you could need! The owners were very generous in allowing us to use the kayaks and paddle board, which our kids loved. We hope to return next summer!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa and Rick Chase

We are Olympia locals and live only 20 minutes from our lake home! The lake has been a great spot for our family to enjoy the beautiful area and still be close to town, work and school! Less time these days so hoping to share it with others!

We both attended Washington State University, Go Cougs! (we love our Husky friends!) I am a physical therapist and track coach and Rick works in Finance.

Why they chose this property

This property is about location! Close to town, morning sun, private and what's not to love about a beautiful lake! We were able to build a comfortable home and feel lucky to have it!

What makes this property unique

This is a great floor plan for 2 couples/families. Primary King Bedroom top floor. Kitchen/living main floor and second Queen Bedroom in the lower level with bunk room. Bathroom and View every floor!
