Wonderful accommodations for two families making memories. The garage has been repurposed into a game room, lots of yard to play in, horseshoes, and board games for the inside. Beautiful view of the lake and lots of sleeping areas. Perfect size for a group of 8.
This is the second year that I brought my family of 10 to stay in this house for family events. It has a beautiful view of the lake easy access incredible property. I would highly recommend.
We stayed here for our wedding weekend in August.The house is very cute on a nice quiet street.Great view of the lake.Lots of space for the whole family to have a good time.The rec room was a hit with my kids.
The house was clean and there was lots of books and games for the whole family to have a good time.The host answered all questions I had and were very nice
We plan on staying here again in the future:)
This home has it all and more. The only thing I would change is the queen bed was too soft. Other than that, i would absolutely recommend this home. Large driveway for cars and our boat. Great neighborhood and neighbors. Had fun chatting with them. We all really enjoyed the view of the lake from the huge deck. Morning coffee will never be the same.
My family stayed here for a few days to unwind after a busy Christmas. The house itself is delightful. A lot of thought and effort has gone into the decor and the utility of the space. We really appreciated the vast array of games which was just what we all needed to help unplug. The kitchen and pantry were well stocked and there was very little we needed to buy to cook the meals we wanted.
We enjoyed some mild weather during our stay and were able to spend a little time in the lovely garden which was an unexpected bonus.
As is noted, the temperatures in the house are not consistent and even with windows open and heating off, we found one of the upstairs rooms to always be very hot. We did note there were fans to use however.
If there is one thing I would change, it would be to add a small clothing rail and drawer unit in the master bedroom for guest use. The lack of clothes storage meant we had to live out of our suitcases.
Beyond the house, there really wasn't much to do in the area at this time of year. I would love to return in the spring or summer when the lake comes to life.
Overall we were impressed with the house and would return. We are avid Vrbo users and have high standards which this house more than met. Thank you Harmony for a wonderful stay.
This was a peaceful spot, with privacy for our group and a great kitchen, living room, and porch for spending time together. Well stocked with games and activities for kids and adults. The rec room was a great bonus. The lake and state park nearby are really beautiful. The house itself was just lovely and well designed. Will definitely return!
Our family of 7, and grandma, had a fabulous time at this property. It was even more beautiful than the pictures, the view was stunning, and there were many thoughtfully designed details.There was plenty to do between the board games, puzzles, rec room amd book selection. I cant say enough good things about pur stay!
Very nicely articulated house that was a very cozy and peaceful place for our group of friends and family. The deck and great room were fantastic hang out spots.
This house was very nice, and worked well for our group of 5 friends. The kitchen updates were appreciated very much.
There are some small improvements that would have made it even better. There are no available closets or places to hang clothes in the upstairs bedrooms or bathroom. Some clothes hooks in both places would be wonderful. The bathroom had only one small towel bar that kept falling apart (I notified the owner about this).
The hide-a-bed room needed a bed pillow - we borrowed one from the bigger room.
We had some difficulty with the patio door locks - they work, but were a little tricky to get locked. And the lock to the garage/rec room area was really hard to get to work, to unlock and then lock again. None of us could figure it out, so that should be looked at.
For some reason, there weren't any instructions available to us at the house regarding where to find items, and check-out procedures etc. It was supposedly supposed to be by the fridge, but it wasn't. I had to contact the owner to email me the instructions. Not a big deal, but was a distraction that wasn't necessary.
We loved the deck with the movable umbrellas. Some more comfortable deck chairs would have been appreciated.
All in all, a very nice stay, that hopefully will be made even nicer for future stays. Thank you.
Such a beautifully decorated home with amazing outdoor views and space!!! This had the perfect amount of space for us to escape with friends and our 2 teens. Everyone was raving about how stunning it was and how great all the little extras like the board games, the rec room and outside sitting areas were. The owners were great at communicating! This is a perfect location for the lake, easy to get to the boat ramp in the morning and then relax in the evenings overlooking it! Thanks so much for such a nice place to escape to!!
We stayed here in early March and had a great time! The house was easy to find (even arriving after dark); clean and organized upon entry. Harmony is also great and easy to work with. She did an awesome job with the house! It is beautifully decorated with fun, creative touches here and there. We were only 6 adults on this trip, but there definitely would have been enough space for us had all 10 anticipated adults made it.
We chose this home as it was close to our friend’s wedding venue (The Barn on Jackson), should that aid in anyone’s decision. It was only about a 20 minute drive versus the 2 hour drive post-event back to Seattle. It would also make for a peaceful getaway from city life – both adult and child friendly – large outdoor living spaces with a wonderful view of the lake. We didn't have a chance to use it, but the rec room looked like fun too. Would definitely stay again!
