This ground floor unit includes two bedrooms and, 1.5 baths. The master bedroom has a connecting powder room and a queen size bed. The second bedroom includes a full size bed. The main entrance and dining room are sunken, so there is a step to access the kitchen, living room and hallway.

The dock (for guests and tenants only) is yours to enjoy the lake for relaxing and swimming.
This is an older building where we have permanent tenants that also live on the property. During the summer our tenants and their guests enjoy the facilities provided. Please be aware if you book you are sharing the common areas and especially during the summer do not mind people having fun on the lake. Again, this is an older building.

It was a fabulous view and many water toys to satisfy all ages. Loved the fire pit. Tiffanie and Mike were wonderful, they looked out for our every need. Very comfortable, nice fluffy towels, lots of kitchen dishes, pots and pans. Everything you would need to cook. We will be back to visit— for sure. We loved it, lots of outdoor seating.
We were vacationing in the Olympia and Seattle area and wanted a place where we could spread out more than in a hotel room and a place where we could make meals. We saw your property on Vrbo and thought it would be a great place for us. It was perfect for our needs. The amenities were great. We enjoyed the kayaks, the games on the third floor, and the balls and tent were perfect for our 13 month old toddler. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.
Interior of location was well furnished. The exterior could use some maintenance. Water hoses were left scattered on the walkways and landscaping tools and cleanup debris left on trail to the lake. Great location just needs more oversight for safety.

We really enjoyed our stay. We had a minor hiccup upon checking but it was rectified in a matter of minutes. The lakefront was calm and peaceful and very scenic. We enjoyed the rare treat of northern lights!! The accommodation was well appointed and spacious and had everything we needed. My mattress was enclosed in a plastic case which was a bit strange and crinkly but didn’t interfere with my sleep. Having the extra half bathroom was much appreciated and the caretaker was kind and thoughtful. Would definitely stay again.
We really enjoyed our Christmas stay. Celebrated at our daughter’s house with the grandkids but had our calm down time in a nice place with a great view. Was able to invite her family over for breakfast. Already have it reserved for next Christmas!
Spectacular view from the front door. The property is very thoughtfully well stocked with everything needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Check-in/check-out instructions were perfectly laid out which made the process seamless. Would definitely stay again.
Our family greatly enjoyed staying a couple of nights here. We had a campfire every night and great central point for visiting the National Parks in the area.
Nice space with a wonderful backyard right on the lake. The unit is separate from the rest of the building and is accessed around back. The apartment is a little dated in spots but nicely kept up and clean, with a well-furnished kitchen. It was a good spot for our family.
We love the fully stocked kitchen, the comfy beds and the space in general. The yard and lake are beautiful. Plenty of parking, and the hosts are truly so kind and want to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Also check out that cute donut shop nearby, so good!!!
Wonderful hosts and surroundings. It’s like your home away from home, but a thousand times better. Kayaks and paddle board available for you to use as well as life vests.Full kitchen with spices and sauces and even pancake mix for you to cook with. Safe neighborhood.
Everything about this rental was perfect! It had everything we needed and was super clean. Location on the water was great. Good parking with well lit access. Ron was very welcoming and helpful. Would stay again!
