About this property

Lakeside Living Suite! ~Mt. Rainier, NWTrek, JBLM

Welcome! Create your own Lakeside Memories on Lake Tanwax. We cherish our home and truly hope you will as well. The beauty and nature that surrounds this area is unforgettable. Relax with long, lazy days fishing on the lake or bring your ski boat and enjoy a full day of water activities. Eagles, ducks and deer are often found here, but if you're eager for more...a visit to Northwest Trek is only a short drive away. Have more time? A gorgeous drive to Mt Rainier is waiting for you!

We will accommodate your needs in every way we can. If you are looking for suggestions on the local area we are more than willing to be there for you (we live in the upper unit and are almost always home). We also understand that every guest has a different preference on how much interaction they have with the host. We try to be aware of each person's individual wants and needs and completely respect your privacy. You are on vacation and it is very important to us that you enjoy yourself!

In this peaceful neighborhood, we invite you to relish the serene ambiance and tranquility that the lakeside setting provides. We hope your stay is filled with moments of calm and a deep appreciation for the quiet beauty that surrounds you.

During your stay you will have complete access to our dock and we are happy to provide you with the FREE use of:
**Four Single Kayaks
**One Double Kayak
**One Stand Up Paddle Board
**10' Livingston boat with electric trolling motor (perfect for fishing)
**12’ Aluminum boat with electric trolling motor (also perfect for fishing)
We have several different children and adult life jackets to choose from, but cannot guarantee that we have your size.
*Bring your fishing poles!
...Have a watercraft you would like to launch? There is a great boat ramp conveniently located at the campgrounds (they have a $5 fee) about a one minute drive from here. Once your boat is in the water you can keep it at our private dock for your entire visit.

Our dream of living on the lake has finally become a reality and we want to share our little slice of Heaven with you! During your stay you will have sole access to the mother-in-law suite (located on the lower level) of our Cedar Home. There is a solid core (locked) door that separates our unit from yours, providing you with complete privacy.

*Although it is unlikely she will be seen during your stay, we do have an (adorable) Maltese hypoallergenic puppy and a Maltipoo that live in the upper unit with us. If they happen to hear you arrive, there is a chance they may vocally make their presence known, but luckily they are quick to quiet down again.

Lawn Maintenance:
Lawn care is scheduled every other Wednesday. If your stay happens to fall on a scheduled maintenance day, please be aware that you may see our lawn care team working outside on the property for a short time. We appreciate your understanding as we work to keep the grounds looking their best for our guests!

**Short and Long-Term Guests Welcome**

This lake house is located in a rural area and a vehicle will be necessary to access any local amenities.
There is designated parking reserved for our guests. It is conveniently located right out front. There will never be any parking issues here:)

Fishing is open year-round and Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, and Yellow Perch can all be found in Tanwax Lake. If you get lucky, grill up some freshly caught fish on the gas BBQ grill (we provide the propane). This can be found on the large covered deck that you have exclusive use of during your stay. A cozy bistro table is available for a quiet romantic evening for couples, or a family with kiddos may find the larger picnic table more their style:)

Need to get out of the sun but not ready for relaxing inside the air-conditioned house? We have a large sun umbrella (and multiple deck chairs) that will provide a welcome shade for reading, relaxing, and visiting with your loved ones.

Lakeside Living Suite comfortably fits couples, families, and getaways with a small group of friends. If you are looking to accommodate a slightly larger group, please contact us to see if we can provide a comfortable sleeping arrangement.

Wonderful, Peaceful Stay

The property was great and well-appointed with everything that you could need! The lake was picturesque and it is convenient to Mt. Ranier hiking. Billie, the host, was incredibly nice and very accommodating. Wish we could've stayed longer so that we could try out those kayaks. Definitely next time!

Great lakeside getaway

This was the perfect escape for us as our first time venturing out since March. The area is nice and quiet. Billie was a great communicator and will do anything to make your stay even better. We were able to cook a bit, kayak for the first time and enjoy a nice fire too. The place was organized, clean, and comfortable. We would book again in a heartbeat - what a gem. Thanks again!

Amazing

A destination worth the country drive! Billie is warm and welcoming. The property is stunning and perfect for a cozy couple or a small gathering. A deck with a view of lake activities is a great place to sip and morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. I’d say just like home but much better as every detail is in order! Thank you Billie, see you soon!

Lakeside retreat

My two teenage kids and I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this beautiful home for our summer family vacation. It was nothing short of perfect. Billie and Steve were beyond accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything to make this the most relaxing vacation possible (she even got us S'mores makings and Steve helped cut firewood so we could build a fire!). Truly a delightful experience. Cannot say enough great things. The lake was absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed the sunsets, peaceful mornings and finding local waterfall hikes to explore.

Fish & Fun on the Lake

One of the best Stays on VRBO I've ever had-- Billie was Great! She greeted us from the dock (we were already fishing), and walked us up to her beautiful home.Billie then gave us a tour of the home, and let us know to contact her for anything we may need that was not already there. The space was comfortable, spotless and perfectly setup for the 3 nights we had reserved. She left all instructions from how to operate the tv & sound system, and everything else available to us. After making sure we were all set, she left us free to enjoy our stay.There was more than enough space for all 3 of us to relax and enjoy this Lovely home, when we weren't on the lake-- which was rare. The use of her private dock was beyond convenient! The beds were comfortable, and rooms were spacious. Hopefully next time we get to take advantage of the home a little bit more.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the best place at Lake Tanwax, and WILL definitely be back here again next year!Thanks Billie!!

Perfect spot for Dad & Sons getaway!

My husband took our sons (13, 10) to this lovely home to celebrate my son's birthday and have some "guy time". They had a blast. The property is clean and well stocked with everything you'd need. It was so convenient to have all the options of watercraft right there- kayaks, fishing boat and even a stand up paddle board. They used them all! Also had fun fishing right off the dock. Inside, the unit has everything you might need including a HUGE tv with surround sound speakers - the kids thought that was pretty awesome. The host is amazing and makes you feel right at home - lives upstairs so is there if you need her (and available via text) but also gives you space to enjoy the property yourself!

Rock a bye baby

Went to visit my new Grandbaby. The house was a perfect visiting spot. Everything was very comfortable and host was very attentive. There appeared to be a lot of outside games and boating equipment but Unfortunetly it was a little to cold for us to take advantage. My only piece of travel advice. The entrance is on a hill lined with gravel if you have any mobility issues I'd check with the Host for any solutions.

Tanwax lake is a nice little lake close to Puyallup in the greater Seattle area. Easy to get to! And not too small or too large a lake; perfect for using the kayaks that were available with the rental. And the owners were helpful with everything! We had a great time.

It Was Like Having Our Own Private Summer Camp

My wife and I rented this awesome place for a week to visit with our local family members and had them over to visit several times. If you’ve got children and teens, this is a great location thats almost like your own private summer camp. Billie and Steve provide everything you need to spend your days on the lake, including kayaks, a pedal boat, a trolling boat and more. Lots of games to play and a nice BBQ right out the door. To top it off, Billie is a great host - she’s there if you need anything, but savvy enough to make it feel like you have the place to yourself.

We was very welcomed, given good information about the area, the binder in the house was extremely helpful with places to go and see and the surrounding areas. We felt like family, the granddaughters fell in love with Billie and Steve. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this rental for a nice getaway and vacation, very clean and well accommodated.

Billie has been the best host! She met us as we were coming in and introduced herself and the property. The place was super clean and she had left cookies and muffins on the table. Much of our time was just relaxing and enjoying a break from home. We were able to have a day with friends kayaking and enjoying the property. Billie helped with taking pictures! She helped when we had forgotten a food item. This is a really wonderful, peaceful place to relax and enjoy a break. We have had a great time.

Perfect!

We needed a place to stay for our family reunion, and were happy to find some place close by. That didn’t prepare us for how wonderful this place is, and how thoughtful Billie is. The view is amazing, they have one of the few spots on the lake where there is not yet development across from them, just trees. When we first arrived, Billie came out to meet us and show us around the property- we had several extra family members with us that weren’t staying there, and she still managed to remember names. She had fresh baked cookies on the table, banana blueberry loaf, as well as slippers in a basket by the door and robes on the end of the master bed. She had set up an additional bed for our daughter, and let us keep an extra cousin with us that we hadn’t planned on. She has it decorated beautifully as well- I’m always a sucker for the beach/lake themes! We managed to take some great family pictures down on the dock- we were there in February, so we were very fortunate to have some clear skies! Billie even checked in with us to see if we needed anything from the store while she was out, because it is a distance to the closest store- she’s very thoughtful. My family will be sure to stay there again on our next family reunion- but we’re tempted to come back again during the summer to take advantage of the lake and kayaks, fire pit on the beach, etc! I can’t recommend this place highly enough. We wouldn’t have been able to stay there if she hadn’t kept it so affordable, so we hope she isn’t raising the price anytime soon!
