Incredible view and great yard. Great location and cozy house were excellent for a calm weekend. Easy to find and smooth check-in. Kitchen was very well stocked too and made it easy to have a DIY meal weekend for us. Carpets were a little dirty for our toddlers who live near the ground, but otherwise everything was excellent!

Seven Cedars was exactly what we were looking for, a quiet piece of heaven. My family was comfortable in our rooms and living space and enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks on the lake. The kitchen was well equipped for a family dinner. The hosts were very helpful and easily accessible, while the groundskeeper was sure to help us remain comfortable.

The best part of the property is the expansive lake view through the large windows in the main living/dining and kitchen areas so even on cloudy rainy days it’s nice to look out. The outdoor space is very nice especially the new dock and great fire pit area. We can picture lawn games, kids on the swings, and maybe volleyball even. It would be perfect for lots of fun water activities and outdoor enjoyment for families but for our spring break we just enjoyed games, movies, puzzles and lots of meals with our group while enjoying the view. There is only 1 main bathroom but it’s roomy. Fortunately there’s a half bath in the primary bedroom on the main floor; the rest of the bedrooms are upstairs. The cozy kitchen is well equipped and had tons of natural light. The home gives us a ‘grandma’s house’ vibe. The owner was quick to respond and seemed very nice and friendly. Thank you for sharing your home.

We found everything we needed at this gorgeous spot on Lake Samish. It was the perfect location for my mom's 70th birthday. The house is very kid friendly with kayaks, life jackets, games and books. We spent everyday out on the lake and every night by the fire. I would definitely recommend this house to others in the future!

Booking this location a second time was the best choice we made for our trip! The entire family felt like we walked into an oasis of calm. Every need was provided for because the home is well stocked from towels to games, to bikes and amenities. The location is gorgeous and the weather was beautiful and classic Northwest in the Fall. Just what we wanted. If you want to relax and not worry about a thing, this is the place for you. Beds are so comfortable, kitchen is well stocked with dishes and appliances, neighborhood is quiet and even a laundry! I can't tell you enough how much we love this location. Our second stay here was as great as the first. If in doubt, stay here!!!
