About the host

Host profile image
Our family lives two house away from the Getaway House and we’re happy to help with any questions or concerns you may have. We like to check in through the app after the first night to ensure you’re enjoying yourself. You may see us romping around the neighborhood with our two boys and dog. I am often maintaining the properties and turnovers so you likely might see me on property though I try my best to stay away if it can be prevented. I love getting to know my guests so if you want to chat by all means please do!

Why they chose this property

The Gateway House is great combination of 1930’s farmhouse charm with plenty of modern updates. With views of both Tiger and Squak mountains that extend beyond a large front yard, you will be treated to beautiful views from sunrise to sunset either from inside or outside the home. Located on a large corner lot and directly adjacent to the lower reaches of the mountain, you feel like you could be miles away from the city in the countryside.

What makes this property unique

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 coffee machine with complimentary beans 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. Salud!

A 6 person dining table is also available for sit down meals. The living room features a a 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 great for families with kids (bath toys available upon request) or those that prefer a nice soak. Amenities include oversized towels, hair dryer and bath toiletries.

The downstairs master includes a king size Casper mattress to sprawl in and a tv is included for those who love nothing more than not having to get out of bed.

Upstairs features two themed rooms that reflect our passion and embrace of the beautiful outdoors. The National Park room has a Queen sized Casper and the Tiger View Room has a full bed.

Outside, the Gateway House shows off its best. Choose from the well manicured front lawn full of terrific views which is dedicated space for those staying at the house, or take advantage of the shared patio space in back which includes loungers, outdoor dining for 6, BBQ and an outdoor living couch. Patio is shared space with guests at the Gateway Getaway.

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.
