Check-out instructions

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
WET towels leave over the shower wall is Great. If the used towels are DRY, leaving them on the bed is okay. Any potentially Stinky Trash would be Great to drop it in the garbage can on your way out.
If it’s a cold day, please turn the heat low, not completely off would be great. There is NO need to lock anything up but it is good if you would make sure both doors are closed tight when you leave.
Just leaving the key on the table is great. If you used the park pass, please hang it back up. Hopefully you had a Great time here at the Lake Tapps Bungalow and hope you return again in the future!!
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

Ed & Sherri are the perfect Hosts. If you need something for your stay in the Bungalow, they are right on it. Some of the friendliest people my wife and I have met. Great stay. I hate to put up a good review like this because everyone will want to stay in our Oasis. Thanks Ed & Sherri

Awesome place

This was such a cute, private and serene place to stay in a very safe area. The owner Ed was very responsive and a great communicator. We stayed for four nights as we were in town for a music event and a family birthday. This property is beautiful and was as described. We were sad to leave and our fur babies also loved it. We will definitely stay here again if we need to stay in this part of town.

Very nice

Overall very good! Great location for where we needed to be. Unfortunately we could not spend as much time at the bungalow as we wanted, our Grandson’s team kept winning all of their games and got the championship. I know there is not enough room in the bungalow but a small washer and dryer would have really helped for longer stays. I would definitely recommend this property.

A Vacation to Remember

Ed and Sheri are the Perfect Hosts. Their property is immaculately kept. The Bungalow is just right for a couple and their dog. It is well stocked, very clean and well maintained. Ed and Sheri let us use the paddle boards, kayaks and all the water toys they have. My wife and I and Gracie would like to thank the perfect hosts for our vacation, a vacation we will not forget.

Relax and Enjoy!

Within a half hour of arriving, I saw my husband - and my dog - RELAX! They enjoyed the deck while I found a life vest and took out the kayak. We all enjoyed the beautiful serenity of the lake - AHHH! There is no lengthy check-in process, we simply came around back and moved in! Beautiful clean space with fluffy pillows and blankets, well stocked kitchen and bath, and lots of beach toys 😃 Our family came over - there is plenty of parking - two yr old granddaughter had SO MUCH FUN playing in the beautiful yard and beach. 😃 The next day we took her to the park across the street. The fresh tomatoes in the fridge were exactly what my pasta salad needed! Hosts are so welcoming and the cabin is incredibly pleasant! If you have forgotten anything, you will likely find it there. Elder-friendly, family-friendly, dog-friendly, and toddler-friendly too! Relax and enjoy! 😃

Felt like home away from home!

This is the first property I have stayed in with VRBO that I can give an outstanding review for! This felt like we were coming in for a romantic getaway on the water that was owned by family. I will come back and bring our daughter as the water access is fantastic. Beautiful property!

Perfect place for your little family

We had a great time staying here! it was very clean and cozy. It was the perfect amount of space for the two of us and our two dogs! There are plenty of things to do in the area and in the cottage. It has a great view of the water and lots of areas for you to walk around. I would definitely recommend staying here and would even come back myself.
