Stayed here the night before my wedding with a few of my bridesmaids and the night of with my husband and it was such a beautiful place! We loved the view, the amenities were great (SO thankful for the fridge space because we had so many left overs from the rehearsal dinner!). Having the rooms on different floors was great for some of the girls needs and being able to wake up to the sunrise from the balcony was a dream! I have added this to my list for future stays! My uncle came to help load some things up for us and he said next time he is in WA he would love to stay there!

Best VRBO Yet!

We had a wonderful time with our kids and grandkids at this lake house. Each of the four families had plenty of space to relax and enjoy. The house was clean and very well maintained. The lake was surprisingly warm and we had a great time swimming, kayaking and pedal boating around the cove watching turtles, birds and fish. The property managers were friendly and very helpful with any questions we had. Our only regret was that we didn't book for a longer stay. We will definitely be back!

Place with great potential, some upgrades would be welcome change

Fantastic location. Convenient, next to the lake with easy access to fishing and paddling. Unfortunately. The entire house is a little dated, old carpet noted. Dog dander at the base of the bed. Kitchen utensils were, spartan at best, though enough plates and cups, the spatula( only one) for cooking was a disheartening show. Some chairs are needing replacements, a $50 maintenance would make the outdoor grill state of the art. Fair price but wish that the unit would be better updated

Great house for a large group and our dog. House was gated, which made it feel safe and nice yard for the dog to be in. The weather didn’t cooperate for swimming, but it was a beautiful lake.

Our family of 8 adults, 5 kids and pets had a wonderful time at the lake house. The house is spacious and we had plenty of room for all of us. The kids loved the lake and the adults loved sitting around the fire table at night with a few cocktails. The lake is beautiful and we did see an eagle and a resident family of geese although the otters remained elusive. The open plan kitchen meant everyone could stay connected during meal times and there was enough seating for all. I thoroughly recommend staying here !

Our families had an amazing time at the lake house! It was clean, spacious, and offered an absolutely stunning view of the lake. We were treated to breathtaking sunrises and sunsets every day, and enjoying morning coffee on the deck was such a peaceful way to start the day.The kids had a blast jumping off the deck, swimming, paddle boarding, and kayaking daily. The backyard was perfect for water balloon fights, with plenty of shaded spots for relaxing out of the sun.Overall, we absolutely love this lake house and can’t wait to make it our summer tradition every year!

Beautiful home with picture windows of the lake and Mt. Rainier. Kitchen was stocked for cooking all our meals at the home. We relaxed on the comfy couches in the living area and on the outdoor patio furniture, including hammock. We enjoyed spending peaceful mornings on the kayaks, pedal boat and paddle boards. Louder motor boats and jet skis do come out in the afternoon. Caught a few fish off the dock throughout the day. The teens had fun in the downstairs family room with enough beds for them all. Our two dogs also enjoyed exploring the property.

Beautiful Views & a Perfect House

The home, property and access to the lake were all stellar and so well kept. From arrival to check-out, we had everything we needed, had plenty of space to spread out and explore, and waking up to a view of the water set us up for a few terrific days.

A wonderful lakeside getaway just outside Seattle

My parents, brothers, their spouses, six kids (ages 5-17), and a dog loved our time at this lake house. The house had four bedrooms, one for each couple. It also had some other beds upstairs and downstairs for cousins to sleep. We weren’t crowded in the house, plenty of room to move. The lake was awesome. We kept cool in the summer heat. The dock has steps and a ladder to make swimming easy, as well as getting into kayaks, the pedal boat, and the paddle board. It was a great trip. There was plenty of storage, plenty of grass areas for kids to run around, and a deck and patio for lounging outside. Lots of parking for all our vehicles as well. There are neighbors nearby, but the trees and bushes keep it feeling private. The hosts were great.

We rented this house for 11 of us and there was room to spare! The kitchen was pretty well stocked for cooking and baking, there were two refrigerators (a second oven would have been ideal), beautiful views, right on the lake and a big open living and dining room. It was perfect!

This place was exactly what we wanted for a Labor Day Weekend trip with friends! We had 12 people and a dog in our party. The house and yard are spacious, the space was clean, both on and off site people were nice & quick to communicate. Beautiful view off the lake. Would definitely recommend to anybody for a larger gathering trip!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Shelton

Host profile image
This is a family owned lake home. For four generations, our family has lived in the Puget Sound area, and we grew up visiting and swimming at the Spanaway Lake Park. Now owning this property together, we continue to have family gatherings and events at this beautiful lake home. It is a favorite place of the grandkids, who love to fish and swim off the dock. It is also a favorite for us adults, whether it is quick friend gatherings, weekend BBQs, or just a serene place to find some needed rest and recovery.

Why they chose this property

Located minutes away from the city so it is close to everything. At the same time, it is at the end of a dead end road which makes it a unique property with the perfect match of convenience and privacy.

What makes this property unique

It is close to everything, yet gives the private vacation vibe you are looking for. The views and wildlife are amazing. The pictures really don’t do it justice.
