The cottage at Lake Stevens was perfectly suited for our family of four, traveling to North Cascades National Park and Downtown Seattle. Beds were comfortable, home was spacious, host was very easy to communicate with, it was private and quiet, yet close to restaurants, stores and gas, and just what we were looking for! Only downside was not having central AC, but bedrooms have small units for comfortable sleep, and there are fans in the main living area to keep it bearable. Complimentary coffee was a bonus! We were very happy with our stay! Thank you, Ben and Renee!
