What a great cabin—superb location. We enjoyed the hiking/biking trail nearby. It is peaceful and the view from the porch can’t be beat. The host was very friendly and responsive. We highly recommend!
We loved staying at this little house on Lake Washington. It had a beautiful view, was so cozy and decorated so well. Loved that it was close to a great hiking trail and very safe in a gated community. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Beautiful and charming place to stay
This is the 3rd time my wife and I have stayed at the Little House. We like it so much we have traveled to the Seattle area to stay and enjoy the property. The convenient location and beautiful views make this a great place to stay. The interior of the house has beautiful wood throughout. The kitchen is well done with everything one would need. Lighting is abundant with the sky lights adding greatly to the feel.
The front porch is probably my favorite part of the house. With views over and across Lake Washington, this is a wonderful place to visit with friends or just have a drink with someone.
The little house is perfect. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake and watching the resident eagles. Mary was very helpful answering any questions we had. House is equipped with everything you'd need and very clean! Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing stay.
My one suggestion is if you want to sleep later than dawn you'll need to have a sleep mask. The great skylights bring in alot of light.
We absolutely loved our stay at the little house! The neighborhood was extremely quiet and seeing all the wildlife around the house was so fun. There’s a resident bunny that greeted us daily. Communication from the owners was also great! We would definitely stay here again!
The pictures don't do it justice, it was even better than I expected. The host responded right away to any ?'s/issues, it was so peaceful and rekaxing with a gorgeous view! She thought of everything plus for amenities. I would definitely stay there again!Would stay there again
Terrific to be right on the lake. The house was ideal for 2 people and is set in a great place on the lake, hiking paths and easy access to the Seattle area. The host was available and easy to work with on all details.
We spent 4 nights at this cabin and it was perfect for our needs. The owners were incredibly welcoming and helped us whenever we had questions. Check-in process was easy, the cabin was very clean, and had everything we needed to cook and make meals during our stay. Would definitely stay here again.
Had a wonderful time... the Little House is nestled in one of the most beautiful areas of Renton / Seattle Quiet, relaxing, and loaded with accommodations, aaccomodations
The house was very nice and convenient. Enjoyed the balcony bedroom. All the amenities were great. Particularly enjoyed the blackberry bushes and the delicious blackberries.
The alligator living under the porch was a little scary! Haha! It was a wooden carving.
Would have appreciated a little better idea of how to locate the key to access the house. We arrived late at night and the key lockbox was not easy to find from our perspective or the house location because of the house address. It does not match numerically with the other residences.
Overall, we’re very satisfied with the location and stay and accommodations.
We loved our private house on the lake! The house had all the amenities for us to cook at home and was secluded and private with quick access to town, beaches and a walking path for exercise. It is a true gem!
The little house was AMAZING!! The space is perfect, GREAT view and quiet. Easy access to shops in Renton, and close enough to the city that it wasn’t a burden to see all the touristy stuff. Bald eagles across the lake DAILY. What a great stay! We can’t wait to come back! Everything was perfect!
We really enjoyed this cute little house. It was clean nice we had coffee all sorts of teas and cold drinks in the fridge. We can definitely tell you to come and stay here. The drive to downtown Seattle was good around 30 minutes and at night 20 minutes. It was also very secure so we could leave our bikes without problems.
