Wonderful Stay!We had a great time at this cozy house! The location is amazing — the lake is right outside the back door with a beautiful view, and there are so many gorgeous hiking trails nearby. The home itself was comfortable and welcoming, perfect for relaxing after a day outdoors. The host was kind, very responsive, and provided clear instructions that made everything easy. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

Family Time by the Lake

We loved the space and layout of this house. Enough room to spread out, and large windows for the rainy days when staying in still felt connected to the lake right off the deck!This was our first time visiting our family in the area, proximity was great, directions were spot on. We all voted that we would choose it again, next visit. Thanks for the perfect spot.

Wonderful home away from home

The home was so welcoming and cozy - nicely furnished and with really comfortable bedding. The check in process and information about the house was clearly outlined, it was easy to find and get to. The house is in such a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, our kids even slept in for once! The house was exceptionally clean, too. We would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely wonderful!!!!

We totally enjoyed our stay, the location was so peaceful, we sat on the deck and visited. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were really comfortable. I could rave about every room and everything about it. We spent one day in the charming town of Gig Harbor (about 30 minutes away) and another at Point Defiance (also about 30 minutes away.) All on all we highly recommend this property.

We arrived early and no issues except door code I called owner and she quickly corrected issue. The property has a wonderful view of a small lake, and it was very pleasing. The bedrooms were comfortable, and we all slept well. If I was to come back, I would stay here again. Property has all new appliances and plenty of cookware.

Fell a little short for the price

The house is beautiful and was very clean. The set up was awkward with no furniture facing the water to enjoy the view. There were two chairs on the deck but if you sat in them the railing blocked your view of the water. There were no camp chairs or any seating in the yard or down by the water where you could enjoy the view (so bring your own). The description stated that there is a dock for use but it was not in the water so we were not able to use it . There is a large deck but no bbq ( which seems kind of standard for a lake house).

Beautiful and clean cabin

We had a great stay at this beautiful cabin. Of the many places we have stayed in the area this was by far the cleanest interior and furnishing were so wonderful. Beds are so comfortable. When you are in cabin and looking out to the lake, it is just tranquil. It is in a gated community which is nice just be aware it is not super secluded but no one looks directly in to the cabin. The kitchen could use more daily use items and some plastic kids plates and cups. It has the basics but it is not well stocked with kitchen supplies so bring with you what you really need in the kitchen to cook and bake.I would recommend a couple more bathroom items like Kleenex. The cabin is clean and not cluttered which made it very relaxing. Bring what is essential to you like books, games, magazines and you will have a great time.

Tranquility overload

Beautiful setting view of the lake was beautiful, Linens were amazing! Only two fry pans so...don't plan on cooking a lot. would have loved a Keurig or a larger coffee pot, other than that I thought the place was amazing. yard could use a little more maintenance lots of debris in the walkways. A crew came while we were there but more cleaned up the BIG stuff, didn't blow off walkways or anything like that. It was warm up stairs so will book at a different time of the year when it is not so hot. There were fans in each bedroom but not enough air to cool things off.

Quite little cottage on a perfect lake

The property is as advertised. The owner is very communicative and responsive. Our family spent a relaxing weekend here. The lake is perfect for kayaking. There's a grocery store near enough and the neighborhood is quiet. The kitchen knives are wicked sharp! We've never had this experience in a VRBO and it was nice. Plenty of plates, silverware and cups. Also, all of the bathrooms had plenty towels and supplies. These are items that would have been nice to have, but in no way took away from our experience. A few more fans as there's no central air system. Some games, we brought our own but it always fun to find new ones. And lastly the kitchen needed a few more items. Another oven mitt (only1), larger pans (the house is big enough for 7 people but none of the frying pans would accommodate cooking for this size group. Pots were sufficient) A few cake pans would be nice too. We brought stuff to make cornbread but couldn't cook it as there wasn't any type of cake pan. A larger coffee pot, the current one only makes 5 cups. Again, plenty of plates and silverware. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Marian S So

Host profile image
I've lived in Salt Lake City, Utah; Montreal, Quebec; Edmonton, Alberta; Vancouver, British Columbia and now in Fremont, California so I consider myself Canadian, American and lastly Korean since my DNA is 99.5% Korean. I never lived in South Korea but I do enjoy binge watching Korean dramas when I'm on vacation, hiking when I'm near a forest or mountain, and running with my husband whenever I have time. With my kids, I enjoy learning reading books and playing board games!
I enjoy being a host because it gives me great pleasure to help people make memories by providing a restful retreat with all the basics so guests can just bring their vehicle, clothes and food to eat, drink and laugh together with those they love.

Why they chose this property

The lake is quiet and does not allow any motorized vehicles so it's perfect for those wanting to play in the water. I don't have to worry about fighting the tide since this is a smallish lake unlike the time I kayaked with my kids and got scared I wouldn't make it back because I couldn't kayak very well against the tide and with my youngest right in front of my lap. Plus, the community play area has a basketball court, tennis court and a little playground. I can't wait to try pickle ball or badminton in the tennis court.

What makes this property unique

I've never seen such a spacious A-frame with three bedrooms that actually have four walls and a door that is located right by a lake. With a front yard and a backyard, introverts can find space outside to be alone too. Extroverts can gather in the living room, dining area or TV room / loft to hang out. It also has an office in which someone can also sleep if they don't mind being surrounded by windows.
