This 3 bed, 1 bath home is a great temporary home base. Featuring epic views of paragliders launching from Tiger Mtn, fresh updated looks housed inside a lovingly cared for home from the 1930’s. The yard is large and is ideal for relaxing or entertaining the dogs or kids. Trailheads are 2 blocks away and it's a short 1 mile walk or ride to Issaquah's bar and restaurant scene on historic Front St. The Gateway House is a 1550 sq ft farmhouse. It features commanding views of Tiger Mountain, complete with spectacular sunrise views. Surrounded by trees and nature, the space is quiet and peaceful, a perfect place to reset or rest up before another day of adventure. You'll be inspired to cook with the full size kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, cupboards stocked with pots/pans and utensils galore. A coffee machine with complimentary grounds is on stand-by to give you your morning pickup. The kitchen breakfast bar and island with stools is a perfect place to post up for a warm cup of coffee, entertain the chef or get a little work done. Finally, we've provided a curated selection of local wines in the unit available for purchase. Salud! A 6 person dining table is also available for sit down meals. The living room features soaring ceilings, a warm yet modern fireplace, cozy couch and side chairs to watch TV from, read a book in, or simply take in the amazing views. Netflix, Hulu Live, Disney , Paramount + and Amazon Prime are provided for your viewing pleasure.

Outside, a BBQ on the unit's back patio is provided along with ample seating to lounge in the outdoor bliss. Guests are responsible for cleaning the BBQ grill after use. Please run the burners for several minutes and clean the grill once finished. Failure to make a reasonable effort to clean the grill will result in a $25 cleaning fee.

We actively maintain the property and the turnovers for the units so there is a high likelihood you will see us during your stay though we do try to do most things while you are not there if we can help it to allow your privacy. A quiet small neighborhood that is a short walk to town and all tiger mountain hiking trails. The Gateway units are located just 1 mile South of Issaquah’s city center and less than 2 miles from I-90, Seattle’s east / west artery running from the mountains to the sea. Typical drive time from Sea Tac airport is 25-40 minutes (traffic dependent) and an Uber/Lyft will run you $40-$60 each way (surge price dependent) Hiking, biking and activities are totally doable without a car especially in the summer months. The closest bus stop is appx 0.8 miles away and there is a transit center 2.5 miles away. For hiking outside of Squawk and Tiger Mtns, there are literally hundreds of hikable trails within a 40 minute drive of the Gateway House Closest skiing is 40 min away (Snoqualmie Pass) with Crystal and Stevens running 2-2.5 hours away depending on traffic/weather. Pets: The Gateway House welcomes friendly and well behaved dogs only for an additional fee. Pets are not allowed on the bed or any furniture (we kindly ask you not to book please if your dog is unable to stay off the furniture). Your dog needs to be pet and child friendly. Kids: The gateway house is suitable with kids under supervision. Activity planning: There are extensive bike and hiking trails that can be accessed within minutes of the Gateway House's driveway. As a lifelong Issaquah resident, my family and I can help you design the perfect itinerary, whether it be hiking, mountain biking, brewery hopping, concert going or simply relaxing. We're proud of our Issaquah community and look forward to sharing some of it with you. Note: Exterior security cameras are used for safety and security purposes only.
