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!

Absolutely beautiful home and property. Very comfortable and peaceful. Everything you could possibly need was available and more!I rented this for myself, children and grandchildren as we were attending my husband's Memorial Service at Tahoma National Cemetery. This property was just what we all needed for a heartbreaking and stressful situation. We were all able to relax and spend time together without any additional stress. My family and I Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.

Beautiful event location

We had our wedding here with about 45 guests, and it was absolutely perfect. Even in the unexpected June rain, the property was gorgeous and our guests were delighted by the wildlife and the fire pit. The house is very spacious and was great for hosting family from out of town. Holly was helpful and accommodating. My only regret is that we didn't book a longer stay - hopefully we'll be back sometime to enjoy the lake without the stress of a wedding.

Beautiful property

The property was even better than expected. We were two families with three kids who always had something to do, from swimming, water sliding, exploring, to playing in the grass field - not to mention indoor activities like ping pong. The home was spacious and very clean. Would definitely stay again.

Great family getaway

This is spacious and beautiful place to spend a few days with family. Even though it was rainy outside, we enjoyed comfortable family time inside with plenty of space for our family of 8 adults and three toddlers. There was a well-stocked kitchen with more pots and pans and utensils than you would ever need but with lots of options. The game room was great — with a ping pong table and fooseball. We had a great time.

Weekend Family Get Together

Wow, the pictures do not do this house and property justice - great spacious home! Host was friendly and responsive. The kids loved the game room. The house was spacious for our whole family and had a large overflow parking lot for us to park in. Super relaxing. Wish we could have been able to test out the lake (too cold this time). Really nice having a high chair and pack n play already there. Would highly reccomend and revisit.

A Wonderful Christmas stay!

Holly was easy to reach and communicate with, as well as, adding very thoughtful details to the home. We arrived to lovely Christmas lights, a cute Christmas tree, a box of cookies on the table, and a 1000 piece puzzle with a bow under the tree. We are now spoiled for any other arrival at any other VRBO! The house is very well stocked for baking, cooking a large meal, and hosting a holiday, Only item I could not find was a mixer but I am sure there is one there as there was literally everything else you could want: roasting rack, blender, cooking pans, large pots for cooking soups/pasta, pie cutters, cookies sheets, roasting pans...etc... it was a great kitchen for cooking with double ovens, a cooktop, microwave, separate coffee bar area with coffee maker ( not Keurig but coffee and filters are provided) and a plug in warm water pot ( for coffee or cocoa- also provided). Each bathroom is well equipped with toilet paper, shampoo and soap. Extra paper towels and toilet paper were provided. Extra towels are available in the laundry room if need. Large garbage and recycling bins are on the side of the driveway for easy disposal. Extra tables and chairs are in the breezeway closet and we used some for a puzzle table which kept some of the adults busy all day with games and puzzles. Beautiful lake view and very quiet and restful setting. Game room was great for teenage nephew who was able to hook up his Xbox on the TV and use the Wifi no problem. Had a cot set up there and with the half bath he was in heaven with his own room with ping pong table, air hockey and Xbox! Wifi was easy to connect to and worked well throughout the house for phones, Xbox and tablets. All agreed it was the perfect house for a restful, family holiday. We would definitely rent again, and hope to again soon! Thank you so much!

We were visiting the area for just two days. A longer trip is necessary to really enjoy the lovely home, beautiful setting and all the amenities provided, including sailboat, kayaks, game room, etc. We even woke up to deer strolling across the property. Holly was a great host, answered questions promptly and provided all the extras that make a vacation special.
