"The home looks just as it does in the photos. It’s very cute in an eclectic ski cabin-type of way. We arrived at night so we didn’t see the peek-a-boo view of the lake until morning. It made me wish we had an extra day to explore more of our surroundings. My pre-teen daughter and her friend enjoyed the loft area and had it to themselves. There was plenty of space, and the fact that each room had its own temperature controls allowed everyone to sleep at a temperature that suited them."

10/10 Excellent
"My husband and I enjoyed our stay here in June. The house was clean and well stocked with the basics you need while traveling. It was bigger than we needed but would be great for larger groups. The location for exploring the area is really good as we fanned out to concerts and hiking both near Seattle and to the east at the Gorge Amphitheater and beyond. It’s in a one street neighborhood (as far as we could tell) and we felt safe there even when walking at night. There was one kinda weird thing that didn’t affect us at all but piqued our interest. There is a grill on the front porch which apparently the whole street can use (according to a sign in the house). No one came to use it during our stay and we speculated that maybe the neighbors only use it when no one is in residence. Like I said, it was no problem at all for us, just caught us a bit off guard. It’s a great place to stay at a price that’s reasonable for the area."
