Fabulous House!
This was our second stay at this house and we enjoyed every minute of it. There was a lot of cooking of meals and not only was there a roomy, open kitchen with lots of counter space, The house has every utensil/gadget/pot/pan and dish you could dream of. There is also an array of pantry items - spices, oils, condiments, ziplocks, foil, etc. The fireplace is lovely and the view is exceptional - a massive wall of windows looking out to a beautiful lake. Gaylene is a wonderful host who will ensure you have a memorable stay. Thanks Gaylene!

Charlie’s cabin stay
Gaylene’s property was perfect! Our “end of the school year’” pet and toddler friendly stay-cation could not have been better. The house was pristine, the lake was beautiful, patio and water toys were plentiful, hiking trails were breathtaking and our host could not have been more accommodating. Wonderful home away from home, hope to enjoy this property again soon!

A Very Special Place
For many years, we have spent Thanksgiving with family who live in the area, and have stayed in hotel rooms and other rental properties over the years. This property was unique - a beautiful lakeside location in late Fall that must be spectacular in warmer months. The layout is a bit different than most, with a large master bedroom and king bed with very spacious en suite bath and walk in closets, and one other more modest bedroom with bath next door (with a split plan for privacy if you are traveling with friends or children). The combined kitchen/dining/family room area is huge, and with the adjoining deck area could accommodate a large group for an event or just give a small group plenty of room to stretch out. The appointments were comfortable and casual enough for a relaxed stay at a Summer cottage, and the access to internet and indoor entertainment were blessings at a time of year when the weather in Washington can be variable. Our experience with Gaylene was exceptional. There were a few unavoidable glitches with some upgrades around the premises delayed by the pandemic, but she was able to alert us in advance and work around the issues to assure we had a quiet and comfortable stay. She greeted us upon our arrival and was available whenever we needed anything, but never obtrusive in the least as we made ourselves at home for the week we were there. If you are looking for a comfortable, peaceful and beautiful place to relax and recharge, we would highly recommend that you consider spending some time here.

Amazing host, gorgeous property
We had a fantastic time during our stay. The lake view was breathtaking, home was beautiful, they had everything we needed for our stay. We were supposed to leave during a wind/rain storm and she graciously allowed us to stay an extra night even though they were going to have construction workers on grounds. Such a lovely experience. Thank you!

Peace and quiet!
What a relaxing stay! Step outside and you're transported to another world. I could have sat on the deck looking out over the tranquil water forever! The house itself was very comfortable. Kitchen fully stocked including spices and condiments. Cookware was a bit beat up, but we made it work. Beds were comfortable, showers had good water pressure and hot water did not run out, wifi was reliable, and everything was very clean. Only improvements that could have been made are - there was no functioning wine opener (like what???), water in 2nd bathroom did not drain well, and towel rack was broken, and no coat rack/closet at entry. But these are obviously very minor inconveniences and did not impede our overall enjoyment. Looking forward to staying again!

Crescent Lake Washington Home.
We were therefor 6 weeks. The owners were extremely helpful to us. Alex brought over dinner the last night. We used the home to tour the Olympic Peninsula and Gig Harbor as well as other adjoining towns and areas. I fished the lake fairly often, with some luck, and used the kayaks. We had one of our sons and his wife and two teen age daughters here; as well as our daughter. It was an idyllic spot. The home was open and light and very well stocked.

Amazing location on a quaint lake
The property is beautiful! It was so lovely to have a fire in the evening while looking out into the lake, listening to the frogs and watching the bats feast. Truly magical. Such a great spots for kids to explore. We brought our kayaks which was so much fun! There are a few paddleboards and a paddle boat to use. The living space floor is open plan with a large couch and a smaller love seat.. The master and living area are tiled so there is an echo component. There is an air hockey table and a piano in the living space which was tons of fun!!

Christmas Getaway
The property and location itself was fantastic. The house was clean and big enough for our family but a few things hindered our stay. The bed in the master bedroom was too small for 2 adults, the house looked like it was still being updated / renovated. There was missing doors off closets, the surround sound stereo system didn’t work and there were a lot of hodgepodge blankets, towels and other items throughout the house. Overall not bad, we would definitely come back again.
