We had an amazing time at this house! The lake was stunning, the house had everything we needed, and we felt very at home.
If we visit this area in the future this will be the first place we look at for our stay.
The host is amazing and very accommodating! The house is beautiful and had everything you could possibly need. I loved that they allowed me to bring my 2 golden retrievers with us. So much to do i wish we could have stayed longer! I Hope to come back again!
We enjoyed this house because it fit everybody 8 adults plus kids and we could take our dog too. The house has everything you need, there wasn’t one thing we were needing. It’s close to town and on Moses Lake as a bonus. Thanks for letting us enjoy time together at your beautiful home!
Absolutely amazing place to stay. We will definitely be back. Kitchen is fully stocked, beds are so comfortable, kayaks for the kids and the sunsets are amazing. I highly recommend this home. Fantastic hosts ❤️

Thank you for staying. We are so glad you enjoyed our home as much as we do! We look forward to hosting you again.
This spot was perfectly located for a family gathering with members coming from three different directions! The home had everything we needed including plenty of toys for the grand-daughter to busy herself with. There were plenty of outdoor activities that we took advantage of - pontoon rental, Blue Heron Park for swimming, and we made perfect use of our canoe by heading out to the marsh island area where we were lucky enough to see turtles, birds, and fish jumping. Great experience! Wonderful lake house.
Well maintained, great location, great backyard with dock and water access. Host asks very little at end of stay. Overall nothing but positives and all us really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you, Dan for staying with us and we're so happy everyone enjoyed their stay. We look forward to hosting you for future hunting trips in the area!
Fantastic lake house! Perfect for the family to enjoy some family-time together. We enjoyed playing games, watching movies, fishing from the dock, and kayaking around the lake. Our dog loved running in and out the boat launch swimming in the water. The sunset was absolutely stunning!

We're so glad your group and pup enjoyed the stay! Thank you for staying with us and we hope to host you again sometime!
This place was truly amazing. Very private, lake front with grass lawn and huge dock. So many amenities at this place from fully stocked kitchen to arcade games and toys for all ages. The private dock and yard were awesome. Plenty of space to lounge around on multiple levels. Cute retro bar and outside bar/sitting area as well. We will surely stay here again.
Super nice house to stay in and relax for the weekend. There was accommodation for children as well as pets! Beautiful view of the sunset from the backyard as well. Some downsides were that there are many bugs (which can be expected) and that the lake water is not ideal for swimming. Overall was a nice stay. BTW, it would be nice if there're a hot tub.

Thank you, Andy, for staying with us and we're glad you enjoyed your time at the house. The bugs & lake flies can get annoying at times during the summer months, but they are an important part of the eco system. To help limit the bugs in our yard, we do treat the yard monthly and added two bug zappers after your stay. Nature is one of those things that's impossible to control, there will always be bugs around the lake & in a desert climate. We do what we can to make our home as enjoyable as possible for all of our guests and appreciate the feedback. Thanks again for staying!
House worked great for 4 adults, 4 teenagers & a dog. Plenty of sleeping & hanging out space, kitchen is well stocked and the view is lovely! Lake is very shallow but worked perfect for kayaking and lazing around in floaties. Stairs to the dock were a challenge for the 87yo, but he enjoyed sitting on the covered deck and watching the teenagers play.

What more can I say about this place, but paradise. A group of us childhood friends get together every Labor Day weekend with or family’s. We chose this amazing house and it was nothing less than perfect. From the overall cleanliness, everything you need and a great host, it was amazing. Lisa was very responsive and we will definitely be coming back at some point.

Sean, Thank you so much for the kind words and the wonderful review. It was our pleasure to host your group and look forward to hosting you again sometime!
We rent a lake home every year with my family and we will absolutely be staying here again! The home was perfect for our group! The home was very clean and had everything we needed and more. We rented jet skis one day and use the kayaks the others. Toys for the kids, games to play as a family, great spaces for hanging out inside and out. Lisa was absolutely fabulous, very communicative and accommodating! Would absolutely recommend

Thank you Brittany for the lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed your time at our home and cant wait to host you again!
We planned a two week getaway to do some fishing on Moses Lake. We wanted to be able to launch our boat, tie up at the dock, and not have to trailer it again until the end of the trip. This house worked perfectly for that and had plenty of easy parking spaces to keep the trailer and our vehicles. There were only three of us and we didn't even use the downstairs. The kitchen is very well stocked and had everything we needed and then some! We had a great time and plan on returning.

Thank you, Glenn for the great review! We are so glad you enjoyed your two weeks at the home. You were great guests and look forward to hosting you again!
So easy to work with the owner. So responsive and flexible.
This is the only time an owner has offered a late checkout without being asked. They also shipped items that we left behind promptly without question. It was just so comforting knowing how easy it is to work with the home owner! Thank you!!!!

Thank you Steffen for the kind words. It was a pleasure hosting your group. Thank you for staying with us and we hope to host you again sometime!
First time using VRBO and it couldn’t be more perfect. Most of us in the party are HCW and the pandemic had us burnt out. This lake side house was a blessing. We were able to do just that and more. Access to the lake was so convenient we were able to swim, paddle board, and watch sunrises and sunsets. It was breathtaking. The property is well managed, clean, and convenient. Shannon and Lisa were so kind and attentive. It was a well maintained and beautiful home. We were so lucky to be able to enjoy it.

About the host
Hosted by Shannon & Lisa
Our names are Shannon & Lisa. We fell in love with the Moses Lake area for its 250+ days of sunshine per year, lake, sand dunes and so many other activities the area has to offer. We love this home and stay as often as our work & kids schedules allow us to and when we're not here, we share it with guests like you! We would be honored to have you as a guest at our lake house and hope you love it as much as we do!
Shannon & I were both born and raised in the Seattle area and have been married for 15years. We were both previously married and have a blended family with 6 children total. Three of our sons are grown and our younger children are 17, 14 & 11 years old. We love to travel, explore new areas and meet new people. We enjoy the outdoors, scuba diving, wine, eating out, gardening and absolutely love being on the water. Thank you again for considering our home for your next getaway!

Our home is Lake Front. Its centrally located and a short distance to the Moses Lake town center. The house is just minutes from shopping, grocery stores, great restaurants and cute shops.

What makes this property unique
The house was built in the late 50s and still has its 50s charm with wood accents and plaster walls. We love that there’s 2 deck areas for sunset views and the backyard has a huge dock to enjoy. It’s truly one of the most peaceful places!
