Enjoy waterfront serenity! Boating, swimming, fishing, and wildlife watching at your front door

Enjoy waterfront serenity! Boating, swimming, fishing, and wildlife watching at your front door. Cozy and unique, we love our vacation property for its close proximity, yet the feel of being away from it all. In addition to the lake and the private dock, the house is close to many other activities. Northwest Trek Wildlife Park is only ~5 minutes away and Mt. Rainier National park is about ~45. Well equipped and comfortable, the perfect getaway for you and your loved ones!
The property shares parking area and laundry facilities with our other home, (also available as a vacation rental), and visible in the background of photos taken looking at the front of the house.

You are on vacation and it is very important to us that you enjoy yourself! Please let us know if there is anything you need, we live close by and we will accommodate you to the absolute best of our ability:) If you are looking for suggestions on the local area we are more than willing to be there for you!

We try to be aware of each person's individual wants and needs and completely respect your privacy.
The house is private and you will need to access by car. If you are looking for restaurants, or small town city life, the little town of Eatonville is 15 minutes south on Hwy 161. The town of Graham is 15 minutes north on Hwy 161, which is where you will find grocery stores (Safeway) and other amenities. Puyallup is only 20 minutes away from the house, which is where you will find many restaurants, movie theaters, and any other entertainment type things that you would expect from a local city.
🏠 Full Access, Full Enjoyment: Consider this cottage your own private haven during your stay. From the cozy interiors to the serene surroundings, every inch of the property is set up for your enjoyment.

🚗 Shared Parking, Shared Courtesy: The cottage shares a parking area with our "Lakefront Bungalow," located about 50 feet away. To ensure a seamless experience for all, please be mindful not to block any vehicles belonging to the Bungalow guests (there is Plenty of parking space so this should be pretty easy to accommodate) Let's create a respectful atmosphere that enhances everyone's stay.

🔥 Fireside Bliss: Gather around the shared fire pit near the water and let the flames dance as you create lasting memories. This communal space is open for the enjoyment of both the cottage and Bungalow guests, providing a perfect spot for relaxation and conversation.

👥 Privacy and Consideration: Respect for each other's privacy is paramount. If the Bungalow is occupied during your stay, be considerate of their space, just as we ask them to be considerate of yours. It's the key to creating a peaceful and enjoyable experience for all.

👕 Laundry Convenience: For your convenience, shared access to laundry facilities is available. The washer and dryer, located in a separate building adjacent to both the cottage and the Bungalow, are there to make your stay even more comfortable.

Perfect for Families: The proximity of the cottage and Bungalow allows for a quiet experience for individual guests or, if desired, a fantastic option for families to combine and share the joy of the vacation.
