About this property

The Gateway Getaway-peaceful with epic views

Nestled between Issaquah's beautiful Tiger and Squak Mountains you'll find the Gateway Getaway, your perfect home away from home to base yourself for endless activities and adventures. Featuring epic views of hang gliders launching from Tiger Mtn, the Getaway features luxurious modern amenities with the coziness of a treehouse cabin. Adventure and activities away, trailheads are 2 blocks away and it's a short 1 mile walk or ride to Issaquah's bar and restaurant scene on historic Front St.
The space
The Getaway is a modern 850 sq ft space perched above the hosts' detached garage. It features commanding views of Tiger Mountain, complete with spectacular sunrise views. Surrounded by trees and nature, the space is quiet and peaceful, a perfect place to reset or rest up before another day of adventure.

You'll be inspired to cook with the full size kitchen featuring high end stainless steel appliances, cupboards stocked with pots/pans and utensils galore. A Nespresso machine with complimentary pods is on stand-by to give you your morning pickup. The kitchen bar with stools is a perfect place to post up for a warm cup of coffee, entertain the chef or get a little work done. Finally, we've provided a curated selection of local wines in the unit available for purchase. Salud!

A 4 person dining table is also available for sit down meals. The living room features soaring ceilings, a warm yet modern fireplace, cozy couch and side chairs to watch TV from, read a book in, or simply take in the amazing views. Netflix, Hulu Live, Disney , Paramount + and Amazon Prime are provided for your viewing pleasure.

The bathroom features heated tile floors and the bath/shower combo is fed from a tankless water heater so there is no shortage of hot water for your relaxing shower. Amenities include oversized towels, hair dryer and bath toiletries.

Escape upstairs to the loft featuring a King Sized Casper branded mattress and ultra soft bedding. A pull out twin size bed sits opposite.

Outside, a BBQ on the unit's deck is provided for your convenience and a bistro set at the bottom of the stairs should you want to enjoy some time outside on the patio.

Hiking, walking and mountain bike trailheads are less than a 5 minute walk / 2 minute ride from the front door. Downtown Issaquah restaurants and shops are a 3 minute drive or 15 minute walk down a well used walk/bike path (Rainier Trail). Snoqualmie pass skiing is a mere 40 minutes away or pop into the city for a meal, sporting event or show in less than 25 minutes.

If the Gateway Getaway is not available and you are a small party and want to book here inquiry with Kelsey about making a reduced cost to stay at the Gateway House at a reduced rate please do.
Guest access
In addition to the unit itself, guests are welcome to use the BBQ, outdoor dining area, fire pit and furniture, nd a sitting area in the backyard with Adirondack chairs and a propane fire table has also been provided. The main house, shed and front yard are private property of the Gateway House and we kindly ask you to respect those being off limits.
Other things to note
Pets: The Getaway welcomes friendly and well behaved dogs only for an additional fee. The backyard is fully fenced for dogs. Pets are not allowed on the bed or any furniture (we kindly ask you not to book please if your dog is unable to stay off the furniture). Your dog needs to be pet and child friendly. We charge a pet fee for the 2 night minimum but anything beyond that we will charge an additional $15 per day (an additional $10/day for a additional pets) as a separate charge you will see billed over AirBnB. The pet fee should cover use of the space but if its overly dirty there may be additional cleaning costs after your stay requested.

Kids: The getaway is not appropriate for children 6 months-5 years old due to open railings and a fireplace. Specific requests will be considered but are not guaranteed.

Shared Property: The Getaway is connected and on the same property as the Gateway House. You will share the back yard amenities with those guests but have separate entrances and spaces.

Activity planning: There are extensive bike and hiking trails that can be accessed within minutes of the Gateway Getaway's driveway. As a lifelong Issaquah resident, my family and I can help you design the perfect itinerary, whether it be hiking, mountain biking, brewery hopping, concert going or simply relaxing. We're proud of our Issaquah community and look forward to sharing some of it with you.

Luxury and cozy getaway

Blown away by the detail and care that the hosts have created in this house. My husband and I had the sweetest time. The location is very private but also close to everything in town which is great for late night grocery runs. And the host was so kind and caring and also gave us 100% privacy. I love that they had a compost bin inside the kitchen. Plus heated bathroom floors, comfy bed and bedding, everything you could need to cook up a feast, there is seriously no detail lacking in this getaway house. Everything in the house is quality and the cleanliness was impeccable. We will be staying again. So grateful.
Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024
