Lovely Lakehouse
We loved our stay at this beautiful lakehouse. It was clean and exactly like the pictures! We took our dog and she also had plenty of room to roam and explore. I would recommend for a serene, calm getaway!

Amazing!
We went as a family with three kids to get away at a time when we are all pretty confined. The house was spotless. It was obviously just cleaned and sanitized. There were plenty of linens and towels for us. I absolutely have no complaints. Our stay was wonderful and it was easy upon check in and check out. I give it the best rating.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Blair

Host profile image
Having moved up from Florida, we are still in awe of the Pacific Northwest. Its beautiful here. To have a cabin on such a beautiful lake and so convenient is a real blessing. Besides swimming and boating, our other passion is horses. We live on a small horse farm about 1/2 hour from the lake house.

Why they chose this property

This property is a dream come true. That special home on a lake. To have that view from every window. It never grows old. Kayaking on the lake is fabulous. It's a meandering lake full of fingers and coves. I've seen an owl bathing and preening; otters playing and countless hours of the osprey fishing. There are plenty of bald eagles fishing too. But still, we are not far from all the city has to offer. There are miles and miles of bike trails, great golf courses, Puget Sound is 15 minutes away, hiking on Mt Rainer...so much to do..or you can just relax at the cabin. We have high speed internet and Comcast TV for those connected folks too.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is a perfect retreat. Although you are convenient to Interstate 5 it is a world away. So, quiet and private and beautiful. Lake views from every window.
We often have families here to visit their soldiers at Joint Base Lewis McChord. It's a great home for entertaining. With the open floor plan there is plenty of room for everyone. In the Summer you can play on the lake. In the Winter you can enjoy the cozy radiant heat floors, jacuzzzi bath tub and large rock wall fire place.
This is a custom built home. The castle like front door was hand made by the owner, his father and brother including forging the hinges. It is massive. The rocks in the fireplace wall were gathered during his travels abroad. Every detail was executed with care and love.
