There is another home on the property with year-round renters as well.

Amazing Place to get your People Together

I had a huge group of people and this place had something for everyone! There was plenty of space, things to do, bathrooms, and places to sleep. It was an easy drive to both the ferries to cross into Seattle or the bridge into Tacoma. Our group couldn't be more happy with our stay!

I've stayed in many many large VRBO properties, this one is by far my favorite. The house is amazing, it has personality and quirks, it's put together with care and houses many stories. the host, Jim, has put so much care into the place and he is an amazing resource who really cares that guests enjoy their stay here. The cars, the pond, the game room, our group had so much fun just barely scratching the surface of all we could have done at this house. truly can't wait to go back!

The place was dirty! The bath mats,the rugs,the floors were all disgusting. The owner lives next door and I told him it was dirty and all he said was “sorry “. I had him come in to clean two of the sinks because they were dirty and he said that he has a cleaning service! Also there were loose tiles on the floor and a loose post on the deck that was dangerous. Also no water pressure at all!

Ministry leadership team getaway

Four families, total 20, spend 4 days and 3 nights at this property. We enjoyed the big space for all the 12 kids from all different range of age. They stayed occupied while the 8 adults had multiple meeting throughout the four days. We had no issues with the house. We enjoyed the cars. Jim the owner was very helpful and friendly.

Jim is a kind & welcoming host. The pros of the home are that it is very spacious, great location, & the kids loved the pond!Unfortunately our stay left much to be desired, namely, cleanliness and safety. Upon reading reviews we knew not to expect hotel-like conditions. However, it seems that other reviewers were being generous in their descriptions. Regarding cleanliness, there was a layer of dust, stickiness, & cobwebs on nearly every surface. The bedspreads were very clearly not washed regularly & all of the beds had filthy throw pillows on them. The showers all had a slimy buildup in the corners. There was a dead bird on the floor. There were mouse droppings in a linen closet & on top of the piano, we also saw a mouse running through the kitchen.Many pieces of furniture are broken & barely functional. Some examples are a broken upper bunk bed that nearly fell through with a child on it, the dining room table is broken causing the center to cave in as well as being sticky due to the finish deteriorating. The deck had several broken/rotten boards. Many doors do not close without force or at all. Most of the kitchen utensils were broken. We were there during a warmer week. There are several fans available, unfortunately, most of the windows do not have screens so it was very difficult to cool the house in the evenings/mornings due to insects flying in. We paid over 5000 for 3 nights and were genuinely unable to relax due to safety & cleanliness concerns.

Amazing, expansive, quirky, and delightful

This is a really quirky space, but also a wildly amazing space - do not expect it to be lacking in nuance, do expect to have more space than you can possibly know what to do with - sleeps a ton, sound isolated in most of the bedrooms, overall, an amazing gem of a place.

Our group decided to add a star because of the layout of the cabin and another star because Jim was a warm host. He did not mind that we arrived 30 minutes early to our reservation. When we arrived, he had cookies and freshly baked apple turnovers prepared for us and he helped my wife unload a full car. Having one arm in a sling, I really appreciated the gesture. That would be the two total stars. Another way of looking at it is why are three stars missing? To which our group would say one star is missing because Jim preferred to communicate by talking over the phone. We had tried messaging via VRBO and texting. Neither promoted what we would determine as timely responses. I and the other members of my group appreciate the convenience of written communication by digital means. Then there’s the common theme from previous reviews regarding cleanliness. I’ll echo that here. There are some cobwebs throughout the house, you’ll have that with any structure that old. What was noteworthy here is that some of the furniture is stained and many of the toilets could use some deep cleaning work as well. The outdoor furniture didn’t have any cushions on them and the porch has some weak boards. It did not seem as if the floors had been cleaned. By and by, we thought that was worth taking two stars down. Also, the crib was broken. We bought a pack and play and left it there. We hope it finds further use.

We had stayed her over 13 years ago and the host was amazing then and now! However, the house not so much. The house was incredibly dirty, Dirty laundry inside the house, dust everywhere, and the house it sell was in desperate need of some TLC. Very large house and great for entertaining large gatherings but I think it is time for a uplift.

Spacious, clean, and comfortable.

Me and a large group rented the Lodge for a weekend retreat and we look forward to returning. The property comfortably fit around 50 people but could have fit even more. The large number of beds, pull out couches, and bathrooms offered a leisurely experience for everyone. We especially loved to spend time in the front yard however, where there was a beautiful open grass area plus a large pond with a boat. On top of everything, the showroom of cars was amazing for taking pictures and observation. I could not have found a better place for a large group weekend getaway, would 100% recommend!

Great place for large gatherings

This was our fourth time renting the Harbor Creek Lodge and we look forward to the next! The house is very large and has lots of spaces for gathering, an indoor basketball gym, game room with pool table, ping pong, foosball, poker table, and a wet bar. The lodge is an older log building and has seen its share of wear and tear, but is still a great place for events with your friends and family. Jim was easy to work with and accommodating. We appreciate all of his work to get the property ready for our group.

10 basketball players and parents head to Seattle for tourney

It was exactly as I expected; lodge that was large enough for big group, nothing fancy so it felt like we were in the mountains at a place drifters can come through and use and try to leave it better than they found it! Owner is super nice and definitely wants your stay to be enjoyable. Our only downer was that half the lodge was freezing cold due to heater breaking the week before we got there. We made it work but could have have used the extra space. Definitely intend on visiting there again in a warmer time and recommend to large parties for sure.

Perfect for our group!!!

We loved the quirkiness of this place, the open floor-plan of the main floor & The fact that the hang out area was all in one level. The kitchen was well equipped to feed over 30 of us, with gigantic salad, bowls, and large pots and pans. We also really appreciated the three refrigerators! The kitchen could use another coffee maker, but we brought our own so it was no big deal. Someone suggested another dishwasher would be ideal… Our group was just so happy to have found a place that could accommodate all of us, no one was complaining about the shortfalls of this place. We enjoyed the kayaks and swimming in the pond, checking out antique cars & the game room gave us a place to share a slideshow with our group!!! If your group is looking for something high-end and fancy, this is not the place for you. But it was a perfect place for us!

About the host

Hosted by JIm Lustig

All rentals of the Lodge hel[p feed, house and allow homeless in Seattle. Currently we are housing 20 Hispanic Males in Seattle, as well as feeding them and kicking off aq new program that will offer English as a second language classes, Job training for permanent jobs, provide counseling, Drug and Alcohol Training and build Community. Our goal is to care about hispanioc males that have come to Seattle to help their families south of the border and gotten stuck doing Alcohol and drugs and find hope in a bottle. We want to heal the whole person and provide self worth and ways to financially support them selves and creqte stability and hope.

Why they chose this property

Another interesting fact about ther Lodge is was rented for the second Borat Moviie. Because of Covid the Hoolywood Producer was looking for a large secluded Propery that they could film part of the Movie at the Lodge. If you watch the Movie (which has something in it to offend every one) you will watch Borat in the Living Room Seating area and also walking down the hallway to kill the virus (he refers to it as the Verus) . When the Movie was filmed we were not allowed on the Property as it was a secret what they were doing. We found out that Borat had been there after the movie came out.

What makes this property unique

The property is totally private and has a 4 block long driveway into the property and a wonderful small lake with fresh water that is great for wildlife and swimming. The estate has a 1/2 basketball court inside, outdoor hot tub, game room with foosball, pool table, table tennis, dance floor with disco ball and a full wet bar. Inside I also have my collection of 13 classic cars with couches, bistro tables and memorabilia. There is a full gourmet kitchen for cooking and entertaining off the large living and dining room.
