Welcome to 921 Lakeside at Mountain Lakeside, a Washingtonian Magazine–featured luxury lakefront retreat where families and friends come together to celebrate, reconnect, and truly unwind on the shores of beautiful Lake Shannondale.
This is not just a place to sleep — it’s a privately hosted boutique retreat, intentionally designed for meaningful gatherings, milestone celebrations, and effortless time together.
From the moment you arrive, everything is prepared so you can focus on what matters most: your people.
The Mountain Lakeside Signature Standard
Every stay includes a level of comfort and care typically found only at high-end boutique hotels — without hidden fees or add-ons.
Always Included:
Curated arrival with a s’mores basket and chilled prosecco
Plush robes in every bedroom & spa slippers throughout
Six bath towels per bedroom + dedicated makeup towels
Fully stocked, chef-ready kitchen with quality knives, cookware & a complete spice drawer
Firewood and fire-starter logs ready for fireplaces and fire pits
Fully appointed bathrooms with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and thoughtful essentials
24/7 personal concierge access — day or night — to assist with planning, recommendations, and experience coordination
Our goal is simple: you shouldn’t have to pack or plan the basics.

Whether your group wants lively evenings or quiet moments, the home offers inviting spaces for every mood:
Theater-style lower level with 120” projector, Bose sound bar, and streaming apps
Game room with buffalo-nickel pool table, dart board, and cozy fireplaces
7-person hot tub overlooking the lake, plus outdoor shower
Smart TVs in every bedroom for downtime when you want it
Culinary Spaces & Curated Experiences

Gourmet kitchen with KitchenAid appliances
Double dining tables seating 16+ guests
Expansive deck dining for up to 18

Private dock with 6 paddleboards, 4 kayaks, and 1 canoe (life jackets included)
Swimming, fishing, sunset paddles, and fireside evenings by the water

Comfort, Convenience & Peace of Mind
Level 2 Tesla Universal Charger
Culligan UV water filtration system & dual-zone HVAC
Reclaimed hardwoods and warm, inviting finishes throughout

About the host
Hosted by David Thompson
As I write this we have been hosting part time for about 6 months, and 1 month from launching our dream home to the short term rental community full time. We’ve been blown away by the response to our home, as we’ve seen bridal parties, a 90th birthday celebration, and even a new baby celebration. We started this journey as a way to help cover the costs of all the rehabs we’ve made to this treasured property since we found it 15 years ago.
I guess it should not come to a surprise to us just how much we love hosting people and trying to make the most relaxing and memorable stays possible for each group, as we’ve spent our lives dedicated to the service of others. In our early adult years we both worked in the service and hospitality industry, before answering the call to serve our country. Dave and I have both spent over 20 years in service to our country, with multiple tours to Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, as well as other locations such as 4 year in Brussels serving with NATO.
Why they chose this property
As we’ve traveled the world, in recent years we’ve explored short term rental / AirBnB properties. We’ve taken note to the things we loved, and the things we were annoyed by, and have attempted to apply all of our experiences to make the most incredible stay possible for our guests.
First, we are customer service focused. When you stay in our home you are better than family (we might not let family adjust the thermostat lol). Our number 1 goal is for you to feel at home, valued, and pampered during your stay.
Second, we have taken great expense to create the most comfortable sleeping and living arrangements possible. We did not enjoy the cheap sheets and mattresses in some of the AirBnB’s we visited. We certainly aren’t fans of IKEA furniture. While we understand most short term rentals want to maximize profit by providing furnishings with the bare minimum initial cost, we want you to sleep on and enjoy what we sleep on and enjoy. We’ve decided to take the chance that if we furnish our property with high end items our guests will enjoy them and take care of them.
What makes this property unique
Third, we don’t like being nickel and dimed for things we think should be complimentary when paying above average cost for accommodations. Last year we spent a week at a wonderful AirBnB in Miami. We didn’t understand why the host wouldn’t provide laundry pods so we could do our laundry…we had to go buy a box of pods for just a couple loads of laundry. You will not have that issue when you stay at our property. We try to think of everything you might need while you are with us, and ensure it’s available to you. If you need something we don’t provide, we’ll do all we can (and we can do a lot!) to make sure you are taken care of.
I will end this here though I could go on. Let me just close by thanking you for considering our property. We look forward to the opportunity to host you, your family, and friends.
