Needs some attention

I think some addition to detail could be used to place this property on top. I provided some input to host that was professionally addressed and for that I appreciate the effort of the host. Could be a 5*** with a bit more attention and with clearer instructions on operations. Small changes to include water pressure and temp of water in kitchen. Host was very receptive and helpful.

Too small

The property is old, in need of work. Very small bathroom and bedroom. Very thin walls, nice kitchen and living room was ok.

Home for the holidays cozy yet cold!

One I lived in Washington my whole life I've never would have thought that Lakewood had that little honeycomb hideaway . I would love to visit again in the warmer season to have access to that beautiful lake I've recently moved to Texas and Texas has absolutely no water. I said all that to say you get the total ambiance of the Great Northwest at this property The people leave you alone it's a great spot for writing . Or finding solitude for self-care I enjoyed my stay! I would recommend this to anyone . Five stars hands down if you like peace and quiet

Cute place

We needed a place to stay while visiting family in the area and hotels were way too expensive. This served its purpose well but a few things could be improved. The place had an odd smell to it; perhaps because it’s old and it may sit empty for long periods of time. The entrance is around back and up outside stairs- this needs to be explained in the ad. It was very difficult to find in the dark and once we did we couldn’t get in with the code provided. We had to wait about 10 minutes for the property manager to arrive - we were given the wrong code. Also, the furniture is old and very uncomfortable, except for the recliner which was ok. The mattress was also very uncomfortable. Even with all these complaints, the place is in a great location and has some charm to it. The property manager did get quarters to me in a very timely manner and provided laundry detergent which I thought was very nice!

Quaint and peaceful

We loved being able to sit by the lake and enjoy all the amenities included. Was close enough to the Tacoma dome we had no problems attending a concert during our stay and enjoyed the quiet later back neighborhood after
