There’s no place like (this) home.

I knew before even seeing this house in person that it was going to be something special. The owner, Janet, was so helpful and patient with me. As expected, the house was beautiful and very comfortable. We will definitely try to stay here again.

Relaxing Stay

My wife and I came for our anniversary trip. The cottage was amazing and exactly what we were looking for. Having the boat lift and jet ski lift made the water access a breeze. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us!

Loved my first trip to Chelan

Carma Cottage was a perfect location and home for my first trip to Chelan. The cottage was just the right size for two couples and the location directly on the water was just what we had hoped for. Host was extremely responsive to all our questions/needs, the unit was very well stocked and very clean. Felt like home the minute we arrived.

The house was so clean and comfortable with great lake views

We had a great family vacation with our daughter, her husband and our two young granddaughters. Having our own dock with direct access to the lake was amazing. Janet was very nice and made sure everything went so smoothly. We would love to return for another stay.

Truly enjoyed our stay at this charming home on the lake. The owners have taken great care and put a lot of effort into all the details and amenities. Nice dock and water/beach access. Great upper deck to sit and take in the view. Would definitely return to this home.

Great stay at this lakefront cottage

My husband and I stayed at Carma Cottage for our anniversary weekend. I highly recommend this lovely lakefront cottage. The house and property were delightful and impeccably clean. Janet was easy and great to work with. We had a fabulous trip to Lake Chelan and will definitely be coming back to rent this house again. Maybe next time we will bring the kids--there is plenty of space!!

Fabulous spot in Chelan!

This home is a gem in a great location with everything you need to have a perfect vacation. Well appointed, particularly the kitchen - everything you could ever need was there, including thoughtful touches like hot chocolate, coffee and spices - and exceptionally clean. Our group couldn't have been happier. Comfy beds and plenty of space with a fun loft. Close to town and great dock on the water for fun in the sun. Janet was an amazing host, incredibly responsive and so accommodating. Thank you for a great stay. We can't wait to return.

Thanks for the Memories.....

Our son and our new daughter in law were married at Karma Winery in May 2017, and we were lucky and blessed to stay at the very charming Karma Cottage for the week of the wedding. We loved the view of the lake and were so grateful for the decks and the dock each morning and evening. We had a fantastic time, it just could not have been better. The cottage is so comfortable and we felt right at home. Pictures of our bride and groom on the dock will always remind us of our time there. An added bonus is that wine tasting in Chelan is an excellent experience and nearby Sorrento's restaurant is a treat. We hope to be back, as well as members of our extended family who plan to book a vacation at Karma Cottage. Working with the owner was a breeze and a pleasure and it's apparent how much she cares for her cottage.
