Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas M. 13 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pretty Creek retreat was pretty awesome! I rented this lovely property for a week in August for a family gathering. The house was great, roomy, beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. Between the Olympics and the pool table we were well entertained when not on the lake. The location in the cove, with not a lot of boat traffic, worked well and we had plenty of room to tie up our 2 boats. I brought a swim mat that got lots of use just tied to the pier. Also having a community boat ramp just 0.3 mi from the house was so convenient. Our rental agent was great and promptly responded to our questions. Bottom line, we are planning on renting this property again next summer. ##### Thomas M.
