Absolutely stunning home with creative architecture. Our family had everything we needed to be comfortable and not have to go anywhere unless we wanted to. So many nice touches at this property. Smores ready to go and cook on deck overlooking the lake. Games for everyone to have fun. Master bed looks up at window in ceiling to night sky to watch stars, remote control to close for sleeping in :) Close to lake for fun jet skiing. Cute little zoo just a few minutes away at Cougar mountain. Hope to come again soon.

Amazing Visit to WA

We did a family reunion of sorts and had a wonderful time staying here. The home was the perfect size for three couples and a teenager. The location was extremely convenient to touring Bellevue and Seattle. You can't beat the views from just about every window in this home. It was truly breathtaking. The owners are fabulous to work with and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience.

This was absolutely one of the best equipped beautifully decorated vacation home rentals we’ve experienced. The kitchen fully equipped making it easy to entertain your guests while they enjoy a fantastic view. The sauna and hot tub are a great feature as well. Details such as ample towels, s’mores supplies and so much more really made tho such a special stay. And, check in and out was a breeze. I highly recommend this spectacular rental.

Just what was needed!

A few dads and their sons escaped for a few days and couldnt have picked a better location. Sitting on the deck looking out over the lake is amazing. Very little noise from I-90 and quite neighborhood makes this location great. Easy access to I-90 and short times into seattle or up to the mountains. House has everything you need and then some. We will definitely keep this house as a go too for future trips.

Beautiful home with stunning views

Stayed here with 4 friends for a 3- night getaway. We loved everything about this house. Layout of the house, well stocked kitchen with ample dinnerware, comfortable beds, stunning views of Lake Sammamish, multiple seating areas, game room, beautifully decorated, super close to downtown Issaquah but you wouldn’t know it. Feels like you are in the woods. Be aware that there are a lot of stairs, but wasn’t an issue for us. We felt like owners had taken a lot of care to provide a comfortable stay for their guests. Loved it!

Family Graduation Celebration!

We gathered 3 generations from both sides of the family to celebrate our University of Washington grad. This beautiful home was the ideal lodging for our group traveling from all corners of the state. We had enough space to each find time for ourselves, and good indoor/outdoor spaces where everyone could spend time together. It was an easy drive into downtown but a peaceful retreat for the afternoon/evenings. The view was gorgeous! The decks were fantastic! The home itself was very clean and in good repair. The hosts were helpful, gracious, and readily available, but everything we wanted and needed was right on site. No regrets!
