Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
A large group of us were staying in the area for the Renaissance Faire so this particularly fit us all very well! The house was great and had space for us all, the game room was a big hit! We were a little bummed to find out the “hot tub” was in fact a jacuzzi tub in the master bedroom. But overall a very wonderful stay and we’ll be back Washington!
We rented this house to stay in while attending a family wedding. It was perfect for our family to gather for a great time together. It was particularly good to get together for meals, puzzle time, card playing, cousin time, - all while a wedding was unfolding. One regret - the weather wasn't good enough to be out on the deck. The house was great -plenty of space for everyone.
Our family attended a wedding on the Sammamish Plateau and this house was in the perfect location. Older home with well stocked remodeled kitchen. Plenty of room for all of us.
Communication was very easy with the property owner.
It was great!! Good little neighborhood, convenient location, large house, good management !!
This property was perfect for our stay. We were able to attend a wedding on the out skirts of Snoqualmie with only a short drive. We hiked the falls for a great out door experience. Local breweries were a hit with the family and the quaint little towns were perfect for exploring!!
The house it self was in a secure yet secluded neighborhood!! Houses all around but it was private once you were in! The kids loved the game room and the family loved the personal space and yet that we could all be together!! Lots of memories were made and card games were battled through!
Thank you for sharing your home with us❤️
Great space for family to be together for the weekend. Roomy house in very quiet neighborhood.
We were Seattle for a wedding in Issaquah. Starla was superb in communications throughout the booking process and specially during our stay. Starla was very accommodating to last minute changes in the guest count. And she was also able to be flexible on special requests
Great stay. We would do it again
Thanks,
Adel and Amie
While the house provided us with what we needed for our family stay I felt the house needs some work. We found multiple examples of spider webs, flies in the area where the BB court was, doors that stuck/needed paint and sleeping on 4" mattresses was not ideal.
Lots of space and great for families. Starla was wonderful to work with, quick to respond and friendly. We had a larger group and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. Kitchen was well supplied and the neighborhood felt safe.
Very nice clean home. There was plenty of room for us all. It was in a quiet neighborhood. The owner was very nice and was very easy to communicate with . Everything you need is in this house. I would definitely rent again if we go back to Seattle.

Great Home for Families
We were in town for my oldest son’s wedding. My sister and her family shared the home with my family. With a combined four adults and five kids ranging in age from 20 months to 19yo, this home had something for everyone and plenty of space.
The Littles enjoyed the game room and the older kids enjoyed their privacy in the extra living room and we all appreciated the extra bathrooms. Ha! There are stairs so we wished we had brought a baby gate but we were able to work around it. One of the bedrooms had and crib and the kitchen had a high chair which was amazingly helpful. Packing all that can be difficult.
Kitchen was fantastically stocked and was a central meeting point throughout our stay with plenty of room for everyone. The bathrooms were all stocked with fluffy towels, nice soaps and hair appliances. We were able to find everything we needed.
Beautiful natural landscaping with the neighborhood seemingly right in the forest but less than ten minutes from a shopping center and views of the lake.
Starla was easy to work with and even allowed us an early check in. We would definitely stay again!

Sammamish House
The house was great! Would suggest more candles and matches for emergencies. Power went out through out Seattle while we were there, but we could only find 2 candles and no batteries for the flashlight. We made do and still had a great time.

Wow! More than expected!
We were the lucky ones to find this beautiful, roomy, well maintained property when we visited for our daughter's wedding at Carnation Tree Farm nearby. It is even more lovely in person than the photographs show. It is quiet, well furnished and gives lots of room to spread out and relax. The kitchen is a dream with 2 different seating areas and cupboards stocked with all sorts of odds and ends that people have left behind. Very helpful to travelers from out of town! The only thing that we lacked was tin foil, baggies etc. as we did do some cooking in. We bought those things and left them behind for the next visitors.
I highly recommend this property for a care free get away. Starla was easy to communicate with and made our stay all that we hoped it would be.
Thank you!

Quiet Neighborhood and Plenty of Space for Family!
Our extended family of 6 adults stayed here while attending a wedding in Seattle. We've often had trouble finding a place thru VRBO, HomeAway, or Air B&B to accommodate our size group because only 2 of the adults are a "couple." Everyone else is a "single." Often times when a listing says "sleeps 6" or "sleeps 8" they assume two persons to a bed. This doesn't work for everyone, and this place had more than enough beds and space to accommodate us. We LOVED the place! Beds were very comfy. Plenty of towels and extra pillows for everyone. Kitchen was AMAZING! Fully stocked with everything you could ask for. Safeway grocery store just a short drive down the hill. Had dinner one night at the nearby Pine Lake Ale House - great little sports bar with something on the menu for everyone - and the beer was pretty good too! Starla answered any and all questions promptly and was extremely accommodating. She has a real gem here, and if we are out this way again, we would definitely stay here again!

Great location..big house
Our family stayed at Starla's house for the long weekend to go to the Woodland Zoo and Safeco Field. It was 30 min normal driving to each location so pretty central. Traffic is a problem so look at times that are best. The house was large plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our large family. Kitchen is well stocked and large. Lots of seating. Would stay again. Starla was very good at responding to the questions I had.

Great house for large families!
Starla's house was amazing - we had family in from the East coast to celebrate a HS graduation and Starla's house was a perfect place for all our family to spend time together. The house was clean, well stocked and in a great neighborhood. Starla was very responsive and great to work with. Highly recommend this home.

AP Confernce attendees
4 teachers stayed here while attending the AP conference in Bellevue. Each of us got our own bathrooms and it worked out great.
It could easily work for 2 families as there are lots of space and each floor had a master bedroom with an ensuite. We’d stay here again.
