The beds were comfy and it was nice and cozy very homey ! Wish they had a kitchenette but the they provided a plug in stove and griddle so it worked out fine ! The beach access is beautiful! We Will definitely be back with our family!

As described

Overall this place is exactly as advertised - Read the description carefully before deciding to book.Pros:Gorgeous location - lake access via a staircase - not ADA accessible unfortunately Nice dock - if it were summertime we'd have been outside all day everyday - in April it was chilly Large common space for hanging out - pool table, darts etc. great for an "unplugged" weekendLots of sleeping areas & comfy seatingCons:Unclean - found trash from previous renter in night standBathroom is tiny, shower water pressure was a 4/10No kitchen - sink faucet is broken, hard to maintain consistent water temperature, tiny counter, mini fridge, no oven.Parking - limited, giant boat in one spot, on a sketchy hill, and no place to park on the streetWifi - essentially non existent and there is spotty cell service at best (T-Mobile) and none at worst (Verizon)The confusing thing about the listing is that it says it sleeps 11 - but there certainly weren't enough towels or dishes for 11 people. The sleeping arrangements are as noted in the photos - 2 bunk beds, 1 upper nook area, one private bedroom, and a weird futon situation in the "kitchen" - not a lot of privacy for anyone.Also the bunk beds are uncomfortable - probably fine for kiddos which is what I'm sure the intent was anyway.My advice - if you're looking for a space for adults, maybe miss this one - but if you're a parent with 9 kids - go for it!

Great Family Vacation Rental with Inaccurate Description

We enjoyed a weekend away with our teen and young adult children. The home had a lot going for it: great location on the lake, pool table, kayaks and canoes, and a reasonable price for a large family. However, the “fully equipped kitchenette” consisted of a microwave, mini fridge, a griddle and a small electric skillet. We had planned to cook all of our meals and a skillet. We had planned to cook all of our meals and assumed we’d at least have a few burners and some pots and pans. There were no cooking utensils provided and even though the description stated that it slept 10, there were not enough dishes for us all. Knowing this beforehand would not have kept us from renting the home, but it sure would have helped us with planning. The internet also didn’t work for several hours the evening we arrived and there were no life jackets for the canoes and kayaks. When we contacted Vacasa about the situation, they told us that they would contact us in the morning and we never heard from them (until they reminded us to be sure to leave a review)! If I was the homeowner I think I’d use a different rental company! Minor issues were that drawers were dirty, sheets were stained (but obviously clean), and we were given one roll of toilet paper for nine of us for a three night stay. Be ready to have to drive into Olympia for the things they don’t provide! We’d stay again because the house did have a lot going for it but now we know what we would need to bring with us.
