This place is perfect for a multi family vacation! Plenty of space for everyone to chill or play. The lake view is beautiful and we loved having dinner on the deck while bird watching. The pedal boat kept the kids busy all day long and the evening croquet games were a blast. It made a perfect fun and relaxing vacation.

I’m so glad your group enjoyed their stay at the lake house! Thank you for the 5 star review! I have gone back and looked over the lake and water warnings and advisories for the area, and I don’t see anywhere that it isn’t safe to eat the fish from Spanaway Lake. There are advisories for Commencement Bay and Palmer Lake, but not ours. I try to stay up to date on these things for our guests and will definitely share any advisories if they come up. Thank you again!

The weather was amazing. Only one day was overcast. We stayed with extended family ages 63 down to 7. Lots of swimming and boating. Soccer and croquet in the front yard. Fourth of July was endless fireworks. We didn't need to go anywhere to see them. Saw herons fishing for breakfast almost every day (early). We saw the resident eagle as well and a black bear passed through the neighbor's property early one morning. We visited the Port of Tacoma, the Glass museum, and the LeMay Car museum. Lots nearby to do. We would not hesitate to come again.

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.

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.
