Beautiful location and lovely home

We found everything we needed at this gorgeous spot on Lake Samish. It was the perfect location for my mom's 70th birthday. The house is very kid friendly with kayaks, life jackets, games and books. We spent everyday out on the lake and every night by the fire. I would definitely recommend this house to others in the future!

Lovely lakeside location

Enjoyed our stay at the house; we had a long weekend workshop that went late each day, so we were only able to partially take in the lovely location and house; it would be nice to return for pure leisure and enjoy just being on the lake.

Fabulous Getaway and Excellent Hosts!

This rental exceeded expectations! The property is exceptionally well maintained and well stocked. We came prepared with kitchen items for cooking and needed none of it.

We loved 7 Cedars lake house. Great location, had all the amenities we could hope for. Great deck to dine, read, visit and watch the beautiful lake. Plenty of kayaks, paddle boards for our party of 5. Loved the dock, fire pit, and the bunnies running around the garden. Truly a fabulous vacation for our family.
