Boat rental on the Pike Lake is not available due to a city ordinance. However, if you bring your own you can use the public lunch area, and our pier.

Note:
First five feet of water front property is considered public access for lake residents by the County of Washington. It is normal to see residents passing along the shore. It happens rarely.

Allie, the property manager has a pontoon boat parked at the pier; unfortunately, renting that pontoon boat is not possible due to ordinance.

The cutest, coziest, little lakehouse with the BEST views!

We could not have loved our stay here more! The house is even better in person than in the pictures- recently updated and so nicely decorated. The backyard directly on the water is incredible! Gorgeous views from both inside the house's sunroom and from the yard itself. Fire pit, grill, 5 minute drive to beach and hiking- what more could you want? We are going to make this place a yearly stay and come back many times. Thank you for having us; we loved it!

Great Cottage on the Lake

We rented this cottage for two months during a relocation. House was very clean with great appliances and many amenities. Views of the lake out of the giant picture windows are amazing especially in the early mornings. Private yard with a nice patio area. Hosts were very friendly and easy to communicate with. Friendly walkable neighborhood with 2 restaraunts.

We had a fabulous stay. If we forgot everything except our clothes and food, this place had anything else we would have needed: bug spray, sunscreen, soaps, beach towels, etc. The property was amazing. Kids could play in the water right off the backyard. The water was super calm while we were there and the no wake hours were amazing. We took our fishing boat and it worked out great to dock it on the pier with no issues. We got out fishing plenty and nabbed a good dinner's worth of perch over 2 days. There was plenty of time and space to go tubing/skiing if the kids wanted to as well.Other bonuses is that it is close to 3 grocery stores (Aldi, Piggly Wiggly and Festival), close to plenty of restaurants if needed, and close to Kwik Trip to get squirmy wormies to fish with.We would definitely book here again.
