Our family of 5 (including 3 older kids/young adults) stayed here for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. I wasn't sure how much we would take advantage of the lake toys (SUP, 2 person kayak, pedal boat, fishing rods), but we ended up using them every day. Having 1 queen bed with full bathroom downstairs allowed my wife and I to give the kids some separation. The layout of the house was ideal for us to spread out when we wanted to. We stayed here b/c of the central location between Olympic Park (Staircase area is about a 1.5 hour drive) and Mt Rainier (about a 1.5 hour drive). The neighborhood was very quiet and felt safe and walkable. Grocery stores, restaurants, etc., are all about 15-20 mins away. Olympia is a cute town on the water and is about 25-30 minutes away - I recommend Budd Bay Cafe for a nice dinner on the patio by the water (not quite as pricey as some of the other places along there).
