Fell a little short for the price

The house is beautiful and was very clean. The set up was awkward with no furniture facing the water to enjoy the view. There were two chairs on the deck but if you sat in them the railing blocked your view of the water. There were no camp chairs or any seating in the yard or down by the water where you could enjoy the view (so bring your own). The description stated that there is a dock for use but it was not in the water so we were not able to use it . There is a large deck but no bbq ( which seems kind of standard for a lake house).

Family Time by the Lake

We loved the space and layout of this house. Enough room to spread out, and large windows for the rainy days when staying in still felt connected to the lake right off the deck!This was our first time visiting our family in the area, proximity was great, directions were spot on. We all voted that we would choose it again, next visit. Thanks for the perfect spot.

Beautiful and clean cabin

We had a great stay at this beautiful cabin. Of the many places we have stayed in the area this was by far the cleanest interior and furnishing were so wonderful. Beds are so comfortable. When you are in cabin and looking out to the lake, it is just tranquil. It is in a gated community which is nice just be aware it is not super secluded but no one looks directly in to the cabin. The kitchen could use more daily use items and some plastic kids plates and cups. It has the basics but it is not well stocked with kitchen supplies so bring with you what you really need in the kitchen to cook and bake.I would recommend a couple more bathroom items like Kleenex. The cabin is clean and not cluttered which made it very relaxing. Bring what is essential to you like books, games, magazines and you will have a great time.

Wonderful home away from home

The home was so welcoming and cozy - nicely furnished and with really comfortable bedding. The check in process and information about the house was clearly outlined, it was easy to find and get to. The house is in such a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, our kids even slept in for once! The house was exceptionally clean, too. We would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely wonderful!!!!

We totally enjoyed our stay, the location was so peaceful, we sat on the deck and visited. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were really comfortable. I could rave about every room and everything about it. We spent one day in the charming town of Gig Harbor (about 30 minutes away) and another at Point Defiance (also about 30 minutes away.) All on all we highly recommend this property.

Quite little cottage on a perfect lake

The property is as advertised. The owner is very communicative and responsive. Our family spent a relaxing weekend here. The lake is perfect for kayaking. There's a grocery store near enough and the neighborhood is quiet. The kitchen knives are wicked sharp! We've never had this experience in a VRBO and it was nice. Plenty of plates, silverware and cups. Also, all of the bathrooms had plenty towels and supplies. These are items that would have been nice to have, but in no way took away from our experience. A few more fans as there's no central air system. Some games, we brought our own but it always fun to find new ones. And lastly the kitchen needed a few more items. Another oven mitt (only1), larger pans (the house is big enough for 7 people but none of the frying pans would accommodate cooking for this size group. Pots were sufficient) A few cake pans would be nice too. We brought stuff to make cornbread but couldn't cook it as there wasn't any type of cake pan. A larger coffee pot, the current one only makes 5 cups. Again, plenty of plates and silverware. We would definitely stay here again!

Tranquility overload

Beautiful setting view of the lake was beautiful, Linens were amazing! Only two fry pans so...don't plan on cooking a lot. would have loved a Keurig or a larger coffee pot, other than that I thought the place was amazing. yard could use a little more maintenance lots of debris in the walkways. A crew came while we were there but more cleaned up the BIG stuff, didn't blow off walkways or anything like that. It was warm up stairs so will book at a different time of the year when it is not so hot. There were fans in each bedroom but not enough air to cool things off.
