Peaceful Oasis

Wonderful, quiet stay. Very comfortable couch and beds. plenty of extra pillows and blankets. Love the Roku TV's in every room. Spent most of our mornings looking out at the lake and watching for wild life.

Nice Lakehouse

Nicely remodeled lake house. Floor is uneven, but that adds to its charm. Great view of the lake and excellent communication with property owner. Enjoyed our off-season weekend stay. Would like to come back in the Summer.

Unforgettable

This lakeside property in Spanaway was perfect in every way. The home was beautifully appointed and impressively clean. Everything we needed was available for our use. Ms. Sandra (host) was always available and very gracious. Every description about this property was accurate. As a first time user of this service, we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. I would enthusiastically recommend this property for the value, the awesome host and convenience of the location to nearby businesses.

The property and home were absolutley wondeful! Large windows overlooking the lake offered views of the natural beauty of the area and the local wildlife. Each day we saw ducks and geese on the water and adjoining properties. Everything was better than anticipated inside of the home. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely stay at the Lake

We stayed two nights here on a trip through the PNW. This house had everything we needed; especially after a few nights in hotels. It provided a lake getaway, but with plenty of services (gas stations, cell service, grocery, etc) nearby. The neighbors were very friendly, and the house had fishing gear, paddle boards and kayaks to keep everyone entertained.

Disliked: Location
The view was fantastic, but dingy towels and bedding were not. The bedrooms were very cramped, hard to get around the bottom of the king sized bed. The second bathroom seems to be more of a laundry room / utility room with a cramped shower.Communication and host interaction was good.

Wonderful Retreat

Stayed on this property for a few days while my son was at football camp. Enjoyed a mom retreat...beautiful view of the lake from the house, paddleboarding every morning, walks in local park, cooking and trying new recipes, online work from desk with a view, Zumba classes at LA fitness center about 0.5 miles away. Absolute peace, serinity, and renewal. Will definitely try to stay here again if we do the same football camp next year. Thank you for a much needed retreat, couldn't ask for more.
