About this property

Family-friendly lakefront home with kayaks, SUPs & well-stocked kitchen. EV Lev2

Situated west facing on the lake, this pristine property boasts 4 bedrooms (3 queen, 1 double), 2 updated bathrooms (1 full, 1 half) and a spacious 10' x 45' deck with 26' of electric retractable awnings providing shade from the afternoon sun. Great home for relaxing and family fun.

Get away to Mt Baker ski area, only 1 hour away!

With an expansive 24' x 44' dock, 3 stand up paddle boards, 4 kayaks, 2 children's kayaks, 6 bikes + all needed accessories and a spacious sandy beach with sand toys, Lake Samish is just beyond the front door. A lakeside fire pit is the perfect spot to be at sunset. Don't forget to bring the ingredients for some s'mores!!

Though the lake is not stocked, you will see many avid fishermen motoring about the shoreline. Many a perch have been caught right off the pier with a simple hook and worm but please follow Fish and Game regulations There is an incredible array of wildlife including osprey, bald eagles and herons often flying just overhead. Summer water temperatures reach into the high 60 to mid 70's for a refreshing dip.

The house is fully equipped with the owners visiting often between rentals, meaning things like basic spices, coffee, condiments etc., are on-site. The cupboards are reasonably stocked with the staples. A variety of quality pots, pans, utensils, sharp knives and dishes await your feasts for both indoor and outdoor dining!

Pets- we only accept one dog per booking at Seven Cedars for an extra fee. We do limit the breed. Unfortunately we do not accept the following breeds; Akita, Alaskan Malamute, American Eskimo, Cardigan Welsh Capri, Chow Chow, German Shepard, Great Pyrenees, Labradors, Pembroke Corgi, and Siberian Husky.Broadband WIFI is solid 70 Mbps down, 16 Mbps up for those working from home, surfing the net or learning remotely.

Water is supplied from the lake as are all properties on the lake. It is treated first by a sand filter, followed by a 25 and 5 micron filter cartridges and polished in a UV purifier. In addition the kitchen and main bath sinks, InstaHot, and ice maker are fed by secondary water circuit including a 1 micron filter and carbon cartridge. Servicing by Northwest Water Treatment and Pump Service.

The dock is a shared asset with the neighbors to the south. Boats are welcome to tie up on multiple dock faces but please keep the slips open for others.

This family operated and well maintained Premier Vrbo sits between two $MM homes.
Loud music is not allowed - please be respectful. That said, having fun is to be fully expected. Because the owners do no live near, we utilize a caretaker to deal with various needs to include landscape maintenance, getting the garbage to the curb on pickup days etc. They live in the in the daylight basement with no interior connection to the main house.

Seven Cedars offers a 10% discount for those staying a week or more and a 25% discount for those staying a month or more.

Lovely lakeside location
Enjoyed our stay at the house; we had a long weekend workshop that went late each day, so we were only able to partially take in the lovely location and house; it would be nice to return for pure leisure and enjoy just being on the lake.

Love, love, love it here!
The check-in process is extremely easy, you walk in the front door and immediately you see the lake in the back yard. From the house it’s beautiful green rolling grass all the way to the beautiful sandy lake. Our family is fortunate enough to be able to stay here every year (is this year 5?). My grandchildren, nieces, nephews and sister have all learned to kayak and paddle-board here. The water equipment is for you to use at your leisure even the lifejackets. The cooks in the family cook up a storm and we don’t have to worry about bringing measuring cups salt, pepper, flour & basic items are here in the wonderfully stocked kitchen cabinet. Thank you for all our beautiful memories we’ve created here as a family.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Hall

Host profile image
The property was purchased in the early 60's by Palmer and Myrtle Bruland as a summer getaway for themselves and their 5 children. The house was finished in 1966. In 2015 it was converted to a year-round Vrbo with holidays and other dates reserved for the extended family. Over the decades we all have fond memories of play and laughter and expect to see the tradition continue through the coming generations.

Why they chose this property

Peace and tranquility describes what I find most appealing about the setting. Looking out over the shimmering lake simply can't be beat. There is a vast array of birds including resident Eagles and cranes as well a beaver or two just down Friday Creek. A silky quiet kayak ride down the creek or bike round around the lake are special events we do most every time up in early summer. Taking the SUPs for an evening paddle is a favorite among all.

What makes this property unique

We offer amenities for all ages both for both inside and outside: games, cards, toys, train sets, cars, books, puzzles, dolls, horseshoes, beach toys, and the lawn game Kuub.

Because the house is owner maintained and not by an institutional service, the property feels more like a real lived in home because it is. We like sharp knives, a variety of seasoning, and decent pots and pans, just like you do.

We allow pets once vetted with a limit 2, which add to the convenience of bringing your fur babies on your travels.
