We had a wonderful time with extended family, including three small children. We enjoyed the beach with row boat, canoe, and paddle board. Swimming was nice for everyone who wanted to get into the water. Lots of swim toys and things to do. There are four nice bedrooms and extra single cots from the game room that made it easy to put families together. There is a nice kitchen with an assortment of kitchen supplies. It took awhile to find some things but it all worked well. We grilled hamburgers one night and it all worked well. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

We held a retreat here for 20 and it was lovely. Great meeting spaces in and out. Serene, lovely not far from Seattle. Would love it if there were more beds so more people could stay instead of driving back to the city but would love to come back!

This was the perfect place to have a family get together for the holidays. There was ample space, the setting was beautiful, and the walls helped dampen to the noise!The host was also very responsive in trying to assist with an issue that arose. Thanks Holly!

Beautiful location and wonderful home!

This property worked very well for our family vacation! We did bring child proof door handle covers to keep the kids from wandering down to the lake without us. We LOVED watching the eagles and swimming in the lake (and the water slide). The owner was very communicative and accommodating!
