Things to Know:
As this is an older home, with extensive woodwork throughout, the home is not accessible and does have steps down into the living room. We are working to make the property more accessible though so stay tuned!
Two kayaks available with life jackets for your use during your stay, located in the garage. In the summer months, swim in the lake or paddle our sit-on-top kayaks along the extensive 45 mile shoreline. The lake has many inlets and interesting places to explore, and much of it offers gorgeous views of Mt. Rainier. Please note that Lake Tapps is a reservoir that is lowered from late October through late March each year, and motor boat access is unavailable during these months. The lake level lowers approximately 3-10 feet. Diving and jumping into the lake should not be done to avoid injury.

There is a private dock and swimming is allowed. Dock is for small boats only as there is no way to get a boat from driveway to lake. Use the dock to enter the lake with kayaks. We discourage the use of motor boats/jet skis in this area if you are not familiar with this particular section of the lake. Small non-motorized vessels are more suitable in this part of the lake.

Liability Waiver: You agree to waive any claim whatsoever against the Host for accidents or claims arising from accessing the Lake (swimming or using any floating devices, e.g., kayaks, inflatables, etc. OR motorable devices, e.g., boats, jet skies, etc.) when you book property. All Guests in your party acknowledge and agree that they have seen this page and read and understand this waiver.
