We stayed at this beautiful lakefront rental in Washington for Thanksgiving, and it was absolutely perfect for our family getaway. The house was clean, cozy, and fully stocked with everything we needed for the holiday. The views of the lake were stunning — peaceful mornings with coffee on the deck and gorgeous sunsets in the evenings. The location felt private and relaxing, yet still close enough to stores and activities.The host was responsive, kind, and made sure we had a comfortable stay. We made wonderful memories here and would definitely come back again!
Fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, amazing view, lots of critters to watch, very clean, and spacious deck with lots of seating options. The hot tub and paddle boards were awesome in a very quiet neighborhood. The response time was almost instant and town is close by with lots of yummy options. Highly recommend!!
Great lakefront home with Doc and fantastic amenities inside and outside. Everything was turnkey ready to go just show up!

Beautiful view in a very efficient comfy home
We have a beautiful stay. The house was very clean, neatly decorated, comfy and warm. The view was priceless and the outdoor furniture was greatly appreciated. We enjoyed the fire pit, paddle boards, and gas fire pit on the deck. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. It is is a very quiet neighborhood and just about 10 minutes from town. We really enjoyed the deer, bald eagles, duck families, and geese families. Overall our stay was perfect!
We loved our stay at the lake house. There was plenty to do each day between paddle boarding, hot-tubbing, kicking the soccer ball around on the lawn, playing scrabble, putting together a puzzle, and just watching the ever changing beautiful view. Plus, my 6 y/o loved the teepee, reading-nook/play-area, and was completely at ease. We plan on returning in the future.
This was actually one of our favorite places we have stayed at for a vacation! It was honestly perfect for our family of 5. The kids had the greatest time on the paddle boards and being so close to the water.
The only thing that was somewhat upsetting was there was a sectional couch in the living room which we were excited for because there is so many of us and then there was a tv in each room on the listing but when we got there only 1 kids room had a tv. It wasn’t the end of the world because we spent most of our time outside on the water.
We will definitely be returning next year!!
This place was absolutely amazing! My friend and I are very busy nurses who wanted to come here and relax, unwind, and see what Washington had to offer. We were able to hike at places nearby as well as drive up to Olympic national park and hike! We also went bungee jumping down near Oregon. This house is the perfect location between both. After a long days hike, coming back to the hot tub was very soothing and relaxing. Thanks for having us!

Absolutely the BEST
We We’re in town for the birth of our grandchildren and needed a place nearby. Both sets of grandparents shared this home and we were very comfortable but what made this home the best is how well stocked it was not to mention all the little “extras”! We felt very welcomed. The owner was very responsive whenever we had a question. The setting on the lake was peaceful when it wasn’t raining. We even caught a fish off the dock! We will definitely be back.
Wonderful property. Very clean and nice updated decor. Kitchen well supplied. Internet worked well for remote work and Zoom. So many extras. Loved the dock,
deck, fire pit, propane fire table, paddle boards, and outdoor games. We didn’t leave the house. Spent our days on the beautiful lake and taking on the gorgeous scenery from the deck. Wonderful tranquil oasis in quiet neighborhood.
We had such a great time! With the sudden heat wave, the lake was amazing! The owners did a great job communicating with us and making suggestions for ways to beat the heat. Would definitely stay there again!
The host was very lovely - easy to communicate with, and left some nice things for us when we arrived. The house is right on the lake which is absolutely amazing! Not every nook and cranny was clean, but it was clean enough to be comfortable. It's an old house that is partially renovated, so while it could use more updating to be stellar, we enjoyed our stay. We particularly enjoyed hanging out on the dock, paddle boarding, and basking in the views. If you love being right on the water, this place is perfect!
Cute location and secluded lake house. It was perfect for what we are looking for a quick getaway. The host was very responsive and provided a clean and stocked kitchen for our stay. It was very pleasant and relaxing. Thank you!

phenomenal vacation
This location met all our family needs on our vacation and then some! We will absolutely recommend to friends and family. We will definitely use evolve in the future.
We were in town for my daughter’s wedding. There were six adults and two children. The space was very nice and we had Thanksgiving dinner there. Our daughter and her fiancé were able to come out and take some cool wedding photos that we hadn’t planned on.
