From the moment you step inside, you’ll be greeted with sweeping views of Lake Sammamish and the Cascade Mountains. The home is filled with contemporary artwork, thoughtful design and luxurious finishes that create a comfortable and welcoming environment. Although just 25 minutes from Seattle, the property offers complete privacy. Surrounded by woods, gardens and water, it feels like a true retreat. Terraces step down to the lake, and a winding path leads to a quiet Zen garden with a natural stream and waterfall. Inside, the home has three distinct living areas. The great room features panoramic lake views, a curving sectional, and an open chef’s kitchen with granite counters, high-end appliances and All-Clad cookware. The dining area seats eight at a live-edge table, and a balcony with a bistro set is perfect for morning coffee. The media lounge includes a full granite bar with Sub-Zero beverage fridge, a poker table and a 75-inch TV with 5.1 surround sound, while the sunny family room offers a comfortable space for TV-watching, reading or conversation. The main floor includes the primary suite with lake and mountain views and its own private bathroom, plus a bunk room for four that shares a bathroom. On the lower level, three additional bedrooms — the Stream Room (king), Patio Suite (queen, with private bathroom), and Lakeview Room (queen) — open to terraces or gardens. All bedrooms feature luxury linens, bathrobes, and plush duvets. Outside, terraces and gardens lead down to the lake, a perfectly sited hot tub affords lake and mountain views. The renovated boathouse provides a lounge area with kitchenette and opens to a flagstone dining terrace with a Lynx grill and teak table for eight. A deck with fire table offers another space for gathering. At the water’s edge, a broad lakeside terrace offers plenty of space for relaxation and entertaining. A large seating area with a sectional and side chairs is situated under a huge umbrella, and a dining table for eight makes outdoor meals easy. Flagstone walls, draped in star jasmine, fill the air with fragrance in summer. The long dock provides direct access for swimming, kayaking, and boating. Three kayaks are included, and a boat lift with whips accommodates guests bringing their own watercraft. Wildlife is abundant, including herons, eagles, and various songbirds. Blue Heron Lakehouse combines comfort, privacy and lakeside living for a memorable Northwest getaway. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet -

The home has spectacular views of Lake Sammamish and the property is perfectly appointed for large groups looking to spend quality time together in a beautiful setting. Leslie and Brian were lovely hosts, their passion for this home and it's beautiful surroundings were evident in every detail prior to and and during our stay. The only opportunity would be the air conditioning. There were some particularly hot days during our stay and the air conditioning was not powerful enough to keep the house cool during the peak temperatures of the day. In all other respects, we give this property top marks! ##### emily f.

All the rooms were well kept and clean. The house came with everything you need for a short or long stay and we were close enough to grocery stores that it was never a hassle to get anything. The hosts were amazing and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I had accidentally left something and Brian let me know I left them and graciously sent them to my house! They definitely care about the property and the people who stay here. If we ever go back to the area, we will be booking here. Location was perfect for people who want to be close to the city but not so close they hear constant noise or see a bunch of traffic. The house itself had plenty of room, great water pressure, heated floors and access to the lake. We had kids on this trip and they had a blast with the hot tub, included board games, and bunkbed room. The kitchen had all of the cookware you could ask for and better quality than most rental places. FYI if you are not from the area and less about the property itself The driveway is steep and so if you have a car make sure it’s 4 wheel drive when it rains or you will have trouble getting it out of the driveway. I’m from Florida and we definitely don’t think about this steep type of driveways. Thankfully Brian helped us down and up to make sure we could get our luggage out. I would strongly recommend this propert! ##### Keith K.

The “Blue Heron Lakehouse” is aptly named (there us a Blue Heron that visits every morning) and the home was beautiful and very clean. The home was beautiful inside and out and the outdoor spaces were perfect. Our kids loved the hot tub and being right on the lake allowed for constant swims from the dock. Our family was with us and the adults enjoyed the lower patio area with hot tub, fire pit, grill, and plenty of seating. Inside there was plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen was stocked with anything you can think of for cooking or entertaining. Brian and Leslie were fantastic hosts and gave us a full, quick tour at check-in and made themselves available for anything we needed during our stay. Communication before and after was also great. We had a wonderful family week at the house and just wish we could have stayed longer. I certainly recommend this location if you are looking for a beautiful lake front property to take a large family or a few families for a getaway. ##### Steve H.

We had 8 adults and 2 children (ages 1 and 4) stying in the house and our Seattle part of the family joined us during the day. The house fit us perfectly - very clean and well stocked on arrival. It was a most welcome surprise when Brian and Leslie told us they would supply us with high chairs, pack and plays, and a baby gate for the stairs. They even whent and bought a stroller for use yo use so we did not have to schelp one out from New York. Thats REAL service. Our stay could not have been better and we will definitely make the Lakehouse our first choice on our next family trip to the Pacific Northwest. PS, the weather was also perfect!! ##### William W.

It was only the 6 of us so it was more than enough room for us during our 4 night stay. We would like to thank Leslie and Brian for allowing us to use their home and beautiful outdoor space to elope. We ended up using the deck space near the water for our very short and intimate ceremony to capture the beautiful lake and greenery. We will be back for a future stay! ! thank you for everything! ##### Stephanie Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom V. 23 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect family stay I have been looking at this house on VRBO for that last 4 years, ever since my daughter decided to go to school In Seattle. I finally had a large enough group for graduation. It was worth the wait. The home was exactly what I hoped for. It felt like a home away from home the minute we walked in. The location on the lake is incredible. Maybe the best part though is that it might be the most well equipped home I have ever rented. I wanted a place where our family and friends could hang out and enjoy our time together. We made dinner at the home almost every night. There are a lot of great restaurants around but having family time and dinners at the home was the best part. There is an incredible outside spot by the lake to eat. And if the weather is a little off the table inside is also awesome. Another cool thing about this home is it's close to a lot of great places to visit. Bellevue, Kirkland, and Woodinville are fun places to see just to name a few. The owners are great to deal with. I booked about 6 months out and bugged them with questions the whole time. I received responses almost immediately every time. The bottom line is this is probably the best home in the Seattle area to rent for a family/group that wants to enjoy hanging out together. The pictures do not do it justice. The home and the owners created one of the best family experiences we have ever had. We had a trip we will never forget! ##### Tom V.

This place has refined the art of meaningful gatherings. And we feel so grateful to have found memories from a week of fun, laughter, and great company. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary R. 18 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Good I love the home ##### Mary R.

This home has the best views and the host so very accommodating. If you thought the pictures were beautiful, wait til you see it in person. We are in awe and had the best time here. The location was perfect. Far enough from the busyness of the city yet close enough to visit. The house has everything!! We wish we could just live there. I’d love to bring my family back as this would be a great place for a family reunion and the children would love it. There’s so much to do and so much room. We absolutely loved our stay and our host! If you’re on the fence about booking it, just do it and thank me later 😊 ##### Christine T.

Words can’t describe how awesome this place is!! My family and a few of our friends had a getaway here, and there was so much for everyone to enjoy! The view out over the lake and mountains from the kitchen and living room is absolutely dreamy, and we loved all the fall colors in the gardens. There’s a feeling of privacy and serenity here that made us all relax our shoulders and feel immediately at home. We had fun watching movies on the big-screen TV, exploring with the kayaks, playing cornhole and sitting around the fire table with a few fantastic reds from our day trip to Woodinville Wine Country, which is so close to the house! We love to cook and were thrilled to find a vacation rental kitchen that goes far beyond what we usually find. They had absolutely everything we could possibly think of needing. They even had a really nice hand mixer and muffin tins, so I was able to make blueberry muffins for brunch. All of us enjoyed the comfortable beds and the amazing sound system that lets everyone choose their favorite music to play in different rooms. As an artist, I loved seeing artwork throughout the house, including some really striking sculptures. Our entire getaway was just so fun and easy thanks to the best hosts ever, Brian and Leslie, who made sure we had everything we needed and gave us great local recommendations for restaurants and fun things to do with the kids. We made lifetime memories and look forward to our next visit! ##### Larissa W.

As a family we found the in- and outdoor living space spacious, beautiful and very comfortable. We appreciated the fully equipped kitchen, as well as the access to a delightful vegetable garden. The location is ideal, away and yet close to Seattle, the sights and shopping, the lake beautifully clear and relatively warm. A little rabbit came by on a regular basis, we could admire the blue heron landing nearby, and also a bald eagle, living in a tree behind the house, swooping over the lake. We had a wonderful family vacation time at the Blue Heron. Thank you Leslie and Brian! ##### Ingrid L.

The views cannot be beat and the owners are kind, easy to reach and offer everything you need in their home. ##### Sheryl B.

My sister was undergoing cancer treatments and needed a break from the city with family. Luckily this home had a cancellation due to CoVid and our prayers were answered. The owners went to great lengths to ensure all was sanitized and ready for our stay. We appreciated their flexibility with an early checkin time as well. The home is beautifully decorated, we thoroughly enjoyed all the options for seating outside for various times of the day. What a treat to see so many eagles flying over and sitting in the trees! Morning kayaks were magical. Loved being able to use the Sonos app to play our own music throughout the home with their speakers. Also loved the two locations with big screen TV's to watch Netflix or Prime Videos. Truly an excellent location and beautiful home just as pictured and it met our every need. We hope to return! ##### Kay A.

It's great for large family/friend groups, but blissful for couples as well. Plenty of spots to gather, or nest with a book. The vista is stunning, regardless of weather. We were treated to the sight of 2 bald eagles soaring over the lake and diving for fish. ##### Karen t.
