Sit out on the deck with a panoramic view of the lake while you enjoy your morning coffee and stroll into the night with your fresh catch of the day!"

Spectacular views of the Rainier Peek from the lake. Paddle boat provided for the Guests to use. Launch your own kayak from the private dock, or your own boat from the public launch area of the lake.

On a sunny day you may catch a glimpse of the Rainier from the deck, a bald eagle also visits out backyard tree! and humming birds are a constant visitor early morning if you fill in the feeder.

No smoking on the Property is allowed, neither inside nor outside. There is $700 fine for smoking.

We have a steep gravel driveway with a curve at the end so no RV or trailers please.

We have in-wall Heaters, but the space does not have any cooling. Natural ventilation and plenty of tall trees keep the place cool.

A paddle boat is provided for your use, but place the boat upside down back "on" the dock [not in water]. Feel free to bring your own Kayak's to launch from the private dock. We are on are on high bank, so you cannot launch your own boat -- except portable kayaks. There is a public boat launch available across the lake for larger boats.

Nearest grocery store is Safeway -- about 15 minutes away.
We are on 'Well Water' with a 3 stage filter installed but we encourage you to bring your own drinking water and ice.

Lake Cabin
This is a great place for some families, but not for us. First, props for the creative Harry Potter room—very fun and well done. Other positives—the location feels far away but isn’t a long drive from the Seattle area, the inside was clean, and there were lots of toys, books & videos for younger kids. But there were disappointments—admittedly, at least one of which was the result of us looking at a lot of listings and not paying as close attention to this one as we should have. But others, too. Our intention is to help future renters find the place that is great for them. The downsides for us—no grill (the listing doesn’t say that there’s a grill, so it’s not hidden, but we were surprised that a place like this didn’t have one), the seating in the TV area is not comfy (formal arm chairs and a day bed without good back pillows), the outside areas were not well maintained/cleaned up, the kitchen was missing some basic items (like a cutting board…there was a small cheese-platter cutting board, but we couldn’t find an actual cutting board) while there were some neat and unexpected kitchen items (like a cool traditional salsa mortar and pestle (molcajete)), the dock isn’t a swimming dock, and there wasn’t a beach to speak of (just some dirt & weeds by a rock wall leading into the lake). Overall, this is a lake cabin that seems to be an important place to this family. It’s nice for many that they share it, but it may not be for you.
