This house on Lake Samish was a great place for our family of 7 to enjoy the lake! We loved being right on the water and having such a delightful view of the lake right from the dining room/living room. The large, clean, hot tub was enjoyed by all! The kayaks were part of the reason we chose this house. Unfortunately, the paddle boards were missing parts so we couldn't use those. The gas fireplace was great for evening time around a fire and we had some beautiful sunsets! The lake was shallow enough to walk into that our 3 and 5 year old could play safely. We didn't realize the house was so close to the freeway, so it took a bit to get used to that noise, but definitely didn't ruin our stay! Maisie was quick to communicate with and even tried to get us the paddle board parts so we could use them. Nice to have the spices and coffee provided. If you are looking for a family house to enjoy family time and lake life, this one is one to consider!
